Yes, but not a big part of today, imo.

Boring episode today for me.

Annie said some things to Ryan I loved hearing coming out of my screen, though. Including a dis for endangering Emma the night of the murder by dropping his daughter off at Chandler Mansion for a booty call with Kendall. Ryan got in his own bit of truthing on Annie (minus the certainty of her guilt in murdering Stuart).

Zach: Bark, Bark, Bark, Barking orders to all in his path. Then a little lamb of tenderness with Emma. *rolls eyes* I was glad Emma held out on him.

Watching the parade of selfish nimwits go by, little wonder Emma is out-smarting them all thus far.

Liza went over a line I didn't like. No problem with her questioning the kid under a court-supervised setting if it came down to it (after all a woman's very life is on the line). But all these commando raid interrogations have got to stop. The kid is already o-v-e-r insofar as getting court-acceptable testimony. May we please move on?

Did Brot really say 'dickwad'??? Who again was the script writer today???

I'm totally Team Annie. She's the only good thing going on this show nowadays. Are the writers really wanting us to side with the rest of the cast...? I'm rather bored and really annoyed lately with Liza, Erica, Kendall, Zach, Ryan, Jesse... I definitely don't side with them, and I'm definitely not rooting for them...

I'm getting a little interested only because I'm thinking that Annie didn't shoot Stuart... I'm thinking that Adam was so hopped up on the drugs that David had pumped into his system, which caused extreme paranoia, causing Adam to arm himself or his protection and accidentally shooting his brother. I'm thinking that Adam doesn't remember because of this drug, and that his memories of that night is slowly coming back to him. If I'm right who is guilty? Adam for shooting his twin, or, David for ordering the drug to be administered to Adam, which caused the hallucinations and paranoia? Annie is guilty of hiding what she knows, and telling her daughter to never tell what she saw.

Pratt seems to like Annie, so the others are probably being damaged to make her more sympathetic. I just wish they wouldn't have gone with Adam/Annie, I don't buy that relationship.

And yes, I do believe Adam killed Stuart. This would be someone's idea of some great shocking twist.

I think taking what was once a moving brother relationship and turning it into a drugged up Adam accidentally killing his twin would cast a pall over the character, especially since, like most other stories on here, it would never be seriously addressed or dealt with. It would just hang in the background while Adam is a prop for Annie, or Erica, or is further phased into the background. I also think when they keep doing these stunts to try to shock people, there's less and less left which matters. Everything becomes disposable.

IA with you if the outcome is not seriously addressed. If done right the reveal could give DC a winning s/l worthy of his talents. However, it just may be wishful thinking on my part that this could be an Emmy worthy performance for AC, and not a ticket to off-screen oblivion.

AMC needs to get to the end of the who killed Stuart storyline? It's too obvious that it's Annie, so it's probably not her, but Emma who accidentally killed Stuart. I wish it was Annie, that psycho has over-stayed her welcome and needs to be written off pronto. I do love Melissa Claire Egan's acting and wish for another role on another day or night-time show.

I want the old Tad back, I'm sick of the stupidness of the head-injured Tad, he's more like he was now, but I want him fully back. And please get an awesome haircut Michael E. Knight.

It's time for JR Martinez(Brot) to go. AMC needs to axe Beth Ehlers(Taylor) if Taylor & Tad don't work. I am wanting Tad with Liza. I'm liking Jamie Luner as Liza more and more, but still think she should've been cast as Skye instead.

AMC please update your opening----Kendall, Zach, Tad, Krystal especially need new pics. Jill Larson(Opal), Daniel Kennedy(Pete) should be put back into the opening.

AMC really needs to bring back Jamie Martin, he's sorely missed imho. Joe & Ruth need more prominence. Sign Lee Meriwether(Ruth) to a long-term deal. Also AMC should bring back Tara, maybe Karen Lyn Gorney.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
