That's pretty damn despicable what Zen and Aiden have done to Annie (and for the very reason they haven't been able to get any evidence against her). Hint, hint maybe she's not guilty. Here they go and add another felony (kidnapping, etc) to the pile. Besides, throwing a hood over the head and kidnapping Annie the clincally mentally ill woman with a history of psychotic breaks and work her over is such smart scheming. :rolleyes:

Annie was also tortured and screwed around with by Crazy Dr. Sinclair. Aiden knows that, too. Guess his jilting or his love of desire to be Zach's boy toy is too great to resist. Guess this is where AT started complaining about Aidan's turn of character.

Thorsten plays Zach as so "can't be bothered" when interacting with Kendall a lot, imo. AM plays Kendall quite differently. The hammer scene fell flat as a pancake if they're trying to establish some building feelings between these two. I realize Kendall is supposed to be more certain of her feelings than Zach, for me it's TK's acting choices as much or more than the writing.

If I think about it, they've all apprehended people like this in their pasts, so I guess it's not totally OOC for Zenaidan. Profoundly risky, stupid and cruel for them, yes. After all the other "plans" to get Annie's confession? Just tedious for me as a viewer.

I enjoyed Colby and JR, Colby and Liza again.

Still can't see grown-up Liza confessing all her personal secrets and sins to her legal assistant Mabe. No sale.

Francesca, back and bitchy as ever.

I can't see Adam Chandler having a wedding at a casino. Bring back the PV Inn. Casinos aren't for every occasion, AMC. Well, if one can call two slot machines, a few potten plants and some ugly, I mean ugly wallpaper a casino.

That line Cheap quoted was funny and I admit I laughed at Erica's sassy kiss on Ryan in front of Annie. *ducks* Annie and Ryan made good sparring partners without Ryan bugging too much.

Yup!

Ryanica is equally as repulsive and irritating as Zendall!

Yeah, this is right up Zendall's alley based on all the crimes Zach has been committing to prove Kendall's innocence. I can't believe no one behind the camera objected to Zendall & Aiden mimicking the torture from Abu Ghraib, though! :o:ph34r:

I liked all the scenes with JR, Colby, Liza & Mabe. As far as Liza confessing all to Mabe, I bought those scenes. I like that Liza has a female confidante and friend, even if she has to put her on salary to keep her around.

ITA about Adam having his wedding in a casino, which just seems tacky!

I absolutely agree about the imagery. Abu Ghraib is exactly the first place my mind went when I saw that hood and I don't need to see it on my soap. Even if the show is depicting a kidnapping, I don't care to be reminded of some really awful facts of life just for the sport of it.

I imagine that association may get worse in upcoming days as we see what next will be done next in the name of cleaning up Zach and Kendall's messes and possibly Aidan's revenge.

It's where my mind immediately went to as well. That's why I said they've solidified themselves as being the most disgusting couple. The minute Francesca said Annie was nowhere to be found, I knew Aidan had kidnapped her. And then cut to the next scene with Annie in the hood, and I immediately went to Abu Ghraib. Tad, Zendall and Aidan are now nothing but selfish torturers in my book. This makes it all the easier for me to do a dance of joy when Aiden, Thorsten and Alicia disappear from my screen this winter... because I absolutely loathe each one of their characters. How much do you wanna bet all those delusional Zendall fans are squeeeealing with delight... "This is sooo romantic! First Zach murders Kendall's brother, now he helps torture a woman! :wub: "

:rolleyes:

    • 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.
