This suicide attempt better be the beginning of Madison's redemption. I am totally rooting for Frankie and Madison to fall head over heels in love. I hope that SG is sticking around. I am so sick of Randi. She is such a drip.

What AnnSS said.

When Madison grabbed Angie's arm? And Angie leaned in reeeeeeal close to her? Good stuff. Made me :) . SG is diving right in and going for it.

Please no to Liza and Jake as lovers. JL and RPG don't have that kind of chem, imo.

I liked MEK's work in scenes with Opal, it's just hard to believe Tad's hung up on Krystal.

I soooo loved it! I'm tired of her injecting herself into this situation. Amanda's right. It has nothing to do with Krystal. And yet, what does the skank do? Pulls out the "Well, when I was in your position..." speech from her ass yet again! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! WE GET IT, KRYSTAL! YOU WERE LIVING WITH DAVID!!!

Other than that, I was bored.

Yeah... I like the idea of Randi but.. It's not just that the actress isn't great--it's that the character has much more potential. Way back we were told she was sexually abused at home as a kid, she became a prostitute, did some porn, had an affair with a senator, is VERY easily prone to going ever so slightly insane--so WHY is she portrayed like a 1950s soap heroine--pure as snow who jsu thas bad things happen to her? it's just not true to the character's history and really misses so much potential.

Loved Tad and Opal (I was starting to kinda not like MEK for some reason but the past little while he's reallys tarted to endear himself to me again). For all hsi faults I dig that Pratt loves Opal--I hope that means we will see her in LA. I do agree though this Tad/Krystal thing is forced--I actually don't mind Krystal unlike many on here and I get why it's been pushed now that Taylor is basically off the show but the friendship/relationship with Taylor was one of the few things I was really liking the past month and its sudden dropping felt, even by AMC standards so obvious and quick (it happened over about two episodes during the endless dance marathon--one day it seemed like there was long term story future the very next, none) that this turn around isn't working for me.

I don't think Liza and Jake will be lovers--there's no charisma there. That said I would like it if they somehow started a plot to get Jake back with Amanda that involved Liza seducing David while thinking she was seeing Jake. I think that foursome whas great comic and dramatic timing and chemistry together.

I think Madison's suicide attempt was real also. SG portrays Madison as someone who is in real emotional pain unlike lightweight Randi. Pratt has a chance to build Frankie and Madison into a strong compelling couple. Unfortunately, Pratt is mostly a coward so he may keep Madison bad and keep Frankie with Randi. We'll see what Pratt does.

bc like Angie said, she'd turn it around and get Angie in trouble for supplying her with the drugs. Giving a large amount of pills to a person who just tried to kill themself makes it look as if you are assisting them. I didnt beleive she would have given Angie any evidence. Girl has been lying since day 1 and enjoys messing with them

I liked the conversation between Opal and Tad. This show needs the character of Opal. I hope Jill Larson continues.

Regarding Tad and Krystal, I don't get them as a couple. Didn't they marry out of convenience? How is it now that they could be soulmates? I guess I didn't see that turning point on screen.

    • 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.
