Brot's bringing Natalia down? Already? Two scenes bitching over that bad-acting hooker and a 20 second bickering exchange in this episode, and he's already bringing her down? I think a police officer and a war vet make sense. Brot clearly has a tendency to like strong women, so I can see his attraction. Taylor, as well as that horrible MacBeth, were anything but soft, light and bubbly (until Taylor became an airhead in order to fit in with the Martin boys -- we all know any edge is removed once you aspire to be a Martin gal!). Shannon and Natalia come off as kinda tomboy tough as well. I'm much more open to giving them a chance than I am Ryanica.

Ugh! Ryanica.

Every single time these two "flirt" it makes me gag. Not even because it's an old woman getting moist over the father of her GRANDSON -- or even because it's a man who is lusting after his son's GRANDMOTHER after spending all spring having sex with her daughter... No. It's because this is sooooo contrived that the flirtation is anything but natural, organic, honest... and the dialogue comes off extremely cheesy. These characters don't belong together. These are the characters that make zero sense together. It's embarrassing watching Lucci attempt to be coy and flirty like she's in her 20s.

For the first time, ever, this episode made me enjoy Madison. Granted, I still think the character's useless, and she's clearly portrayed by a graduate of the Guiding Light Shrill Blonde Actress Acting School (with fellow grads, Laura Wright, Crystal Hunt and Beth Ehlers screeching through ABCD.) But for the simple fact that she had a Hypocritical Hubbard on the floor begging for his life, I have to give the bitch props. Speaking of which, I love the lack of logic links involved in Jesse's radical conclusion that that bad-acting hooker didn't kill North, but it was Madison. I tell you... sometimes, these people are the dumbest geniuses I've ever seen.

Liza's obsessed with a hollow wall? :rolleyes: It's not that serious. Believe me, I want this whole Kendall In The Wall storyline over with, but can we stop it with the jumping to conclusions? Have the bitch get caught out with her constant skulking the doorway with people over.

Ugh! Marissa... Mabe... Grimace... I know I'm not the only one who saw her :D all through that ConFusion scene with Scott. It was nothing but squinty eyes and TEETH! This character is boring, having no backbone at all. At first, I thought she was going to get one when the Martin Morons were trying to use her to "spy" on David, saying she doesn't share the same philosophy... but oops! I was wrong. More crying and whining and talking about her dead parents.

This light-bulb moment out of the blue made me snort. Jesse definitely pulled out some "dumb genius" to put all that together.

Madison was an awesome dangerous mess yesterday. I think Frankie kind of likes her. At least Maddie has some life/spark in her, even if the spark is from The Crazy. I agree, R that the character is useless in Pratt's eyes in the longterm.

There are many things I don't like about Ryanica. One positive note for me is that Cam dials things down in scenes with Erica. Less spitting. :)

Too soon for me to say about Brot and Natalia.

Liza/Kendall/Zach/Box/InvisiMommy=Very Tired.

I loved the Emma played Team Kendall. Ha!

Zach deserves it for scaring Emma and making her scream at the mansion by threatening to get Annie jailed.

Brot & Natalia are certainly more entertaining so far than Ryan/Erica or Zach/Kendall have been. ITA that they should have gone with Erica/Zach if they wanted to write a cougar story for her since there is at least some chemistry there!

Jesse has become a tool and it's difficult for me not to just ff his scenes.

I ff'd through Liza finding the hollow wall. I can't believe how many times Kendall has come out of that room with Liza around and not been caught. It's just ridiculous!

    • 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.
