Marian rules! Her speech on the stand was fantastic, especially when she made Kendall cry.

Zach's justification for Kendall nearly killing Adam annoys me; it's okay to commit murder if you're grieving? I so hope everyone's wrong about Annie and I want to see Zach, Erica and Ryan apologize to her.

Annie playing diva at Adam's supposedly was funny according to the background music, but it fell flat for me. Also, was that the first time we ever saw Lucretia?

I prefer Marisa with Scott over her & JR so I found myself distracted during their outdoor scenes by the shirtless guys tossing a football in the background.

I am just catching up on eppys.

Steve covers a lot of it for me above, though don't care for Marissa in any situation. Regarding the scenes at the pool, I am a lesbian and *I* was distracted by the pool boy hotties playing beachball or frisbee or whatever during Mabe and Jr.'s convos (and again too with the pool fun behind Colby and JR).

Marian,/JM! Damn. Now that was some good soapy fun. :wub: She really worked some emotions someone onscreen needed to profess and much of AMC viewership needed to hear. Sing it, Sister!

As much as I think AM has done a really terrific job in her dramatic scenes of late, I just didn't feel much when Marian was going off on Kendall to her face. That should have been one of Kendall's (who is supposedly reacting out of a guilty conscience anyway) MOST painful moments for this story. AM could barely muster a tear when looking directly in her murder victim's grieving widow's face. Even if you don't mean it Kendall, you could work up a few tears for the judge's sake who is about to sentence you. Unfeeling or not smart no matter how you look at it.

Zach blaming Adam was just *head banging* but just par for the course at this point. Zach less annoying than usual.

Erica seemed like Erica today, Lucci was fantastic. I enjoyed Ryan with her.

Annie is being written all over the map, but even with that handicap, MCE captures my attention. Annie and Adam working together as equals against those in the Valley would be cool. I am don't want it to be about her playing him with Adam being unwitting and/or a victim.

Angie, Angie, Angie, oh how I love my Angie with the gears turning. :) She's on *to**it*. Watch out, Jesse and Randi. I loved all her scenes. Enjoyed Frankie with her, Natalia and Randi, even Randi and Madison.

I enjoyed this episode. It felt very tight to me, the courtroom drama built nicely. Marissa/JR/Colby scenes were unecessary, imo.

Great episode. Agreed on Erica and La Lucci. Those Erica/Kendall scenes were great.

The Hubbard scenes were great too. Loved how they cut back and forth between Angie/Frankie and Natalia/Randi.

Jennifer Bassey. My goodness. Her scenes are a throwback to the good old days. I really wish we get to see more of her despite what's coming up. Plus I want to see more Liza/Marian scenes.

Kate Hall rocks. Give her a promotion already.

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • 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.)
