And while we are at it can they seperate Janet and Jack. They are so boring together. They haven't had anything to do. After all the preaching Jack did to Carly about keeping secrets and now he is keeping secrets from Janet. Jack is no better than Carly. Had Carly been keeping something from Jack having to do with work. He would have flipped his lid.

To put it mildly, I think Bibel's lost her freakin' marbles. I think Henry as James' son stinks, I hate Herring in this airhead role, and any hope Paul would be less psychotic...well, hell would have to freeze over first before I'd believe that.

I do think Casey and Ali are pretty chemistry free---but I can't remember the last teen romance I thought had any either. (Lucy and Aaron's snorefest still gives me the willies) I wouldn't miss Meg if she just disappeared one day from the docks ala Kirk and Sam Anderson. (Or Katie for that matter...)

I do appreciate we're seeing more of some vets like Bob, Kim, Babs and even Em....anything to save me from Katie, Craig, Meg and the rest of the PC/GH invasion.

But I'm not really impressed with the direction any of the current stories are taking.

I thought today's show was fantastic!! My only two problems...where was Susan today and wasnt Luke suppose to go with Holden?? I guess it was cancelled due to the fact that Faith didnt want to go? Today would have been a great Friday cliffhanger..bummer it was only a Thursday show. I am loving seeing more vets.

I love how the exchanged clothes miraculously "fit" the other. Skaggs is probably at least thirty pounds heavier than Holden, and suddenly the stolen officier's clothes fit Holden like they were tailor made for the guy.

I wish Faith would have spit something out at Lily to let her know she saw Lily and Damian kissing. I hope Faith heaps a ton of teen 'tude on her.

It's nice that they brought up (I think) history and mentioning Kim's previous heart condition. My only question is if TIIC remember she has a pacemaker. But I don't like how this is centered on Alison.

I think Luke isn't with Holden because he wanted to stay and see what was up with Faith.

Yeah Luke said that he wanted to stay behind to help Lily deal with Faith...or something like that. I must say this week has been pretty awesome. Although, it sure would be icing on the cake if Hunter were to grace us with his presence. I guess they're handling one request at a time!

You're very nit picky about the clothes PJ.....LOL

Thats why I say where is Susan? She should be involved in Alison's story. I dont like how she is being left out of it.

Oh ok..thanks for the Luke MIA reasoning..wasnt too sure.

Yes, it is has been a good week. But compared to the whole year it isnt that hard to accomplish....LOL. I like Hunter too but dont want him shoved down our throats like Meg and Katie have been. I know he is one of your favorites...It would have been better to have Hunter gay and involved with Luke instead of Noah...

Well, I guess we can only fit so many vets on at a time. I do think Susan should have been a part of this and the Em/Paul thing. But whaddya I know...I'm only a fan.

LOL...I forgot to mention the crash looking like stock footage from some old episode of The Dukes of Hazzard. And the fact it was growing dark in Oakdale, while it was bright daylight in Kentucky, which is either the same time zone or one time zone earlier than Illinois. *eyeroll* Why didn't the idiots shoot that at night?? It would have made the entire scenario a little more believable and scary.

I have to agree where is Susan? I mean she works at the hospital too why couldn't she have also noticed stuff about Bob along with Alison?

And Henry being James' son is being played as comedy rather than serious drama. What is the purpose of this anyways? Will Maddie and crazy Eve also turn out to be Stenbeck spawn?

I've come to the realization today that Riley/Adam really annoys me...he is just not that great of an actor,IMO. Every time he expresses himself, it's as if he's trying to clear his sinuses or has a look on his face likes he's *about* to. Am I the only person that notices this?? It's very distracting.

I liked Luke today for the first time in awhile. He really broke my heart a bit. I anticipate a lot of Snyder family drama coming up, so that should be pretty intriguing. From the previews, it looks as if Meg and Lily will be at odds. I must admit I *love* every bit of them clawing at each other, if anything just for someone to tell Meg what a loser she is.

I could say that I enjoyed the Hughes clan today, but...I am on the fence about the story so far. It appears to me as if this is some way to drive a wedge between Alison and Casey, since homegirl seems to be the focus.

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • 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.
