Lily and Cane are killing me. Who on earth decides to become a mother when they are not sure they are going to live to see the child born? It's one thing when you are already pregnant, but to decide to get a surrogate and all that when you are on death's door is beyond selfish. Lily hasn't even graduated from college, but she must be a mother right now? Please. :wacko:

I think Mac becoming Lily's surrogate is going to become a Mac/Lily/Cane triangle. Is Billy going to get pissed off that Mac has offered to be a surrogate to Lane? The age difference between Christel and Daniel has been really noticable lately. It makes thinking of them as a couple a little akward. It's very depressing that this show gives Lily adult storylines. She never really had a young adult storyline. The closest was Kevin giving her an STD.

Is Amelia back from her maternity leave?

It was nice to see Neil and Jill at the hospital. Was Devon there or not? I missed a couple of moments of today's episode.

Early next year!!? You give them too much credit. I see a "Christmas miracle" coming our way. And if this turns into some kind of triangle there are just no words as to how offensive it's going to be to me. Cane is torn between the African American, cancer stricken, barren, mother of his child and the white, healthy woman who still has her uterus. And Mac is going to be a party to this? Hell no. Not unless Lily has a complete personality change and starts banging Billy between chemo treatments. *RME*

LOL

Here's the thing...obviously what I wrote is ridiculous...but I can really see portions of it happening. At the very least, "who shot Adam?". I think it's like doing the "easy" crossword puzzle in Monday's Times. Sometimes mastering a lower level of challenge is fun, LOL. Hey, a bunch of us called the babyswitch from the first mention of Ashley and Sharon's pregancies.

It was a joke, but I really do see some version of it happening.

Christel...all beaming today...is totally killing this story for me. Her fever was 104, right? So, she'd be exhausted, clammy... She can't play anything true. Not a thing.

Julia was right above. A parent who gets cancer (or the spouse of a parent who gets cancer) is instantly terrified that their child will be left without parents. NO PERSON on earth would be actively planning a baby like Lily was today. It is simply ridiculous.

I am going to say that there were a few things I liked about today's show:

- Victoria and Nick's chemistry. This is one of the few places Amelia can shine...and it was nice to see a bit of that after a loooooooong while

- Nick versus Billy. That's fun, and I hope it continues

- Jack sniffing around Chancellor, and Ashley's devious moves. Ashley is emerging as one of the most fascinatingly transformed characters

- Dr. Emily. I'm totally digging her (doppelganger be damned). I like that they might use her like Michael--as someone who occasionally drives story, but someone who shows up in lots of stories. She handled the counseling about the future with Lily very well.

But I'm disappointed as hell that Jack would kiss the therapist of the woman he damaged. I want Emily to refuse a relationship with him...because the opposite would be professionally unacceptable for as long as Patty is Emily's client.

So far, the Chancellor emotions are "off". When Chance was wheeled in at the end, not a one of the Chancellors felt like they had "true" emotions to me...not even Tricia Cast's Nina.

Nick had a line to Victoria, as he was hugging her goodbye:

"There will always be a place for you here".

I thought it was very much another coded message (just like Kay's discussion with Jack a few weeks ago, where they talked about the glory days of the family business being over): Amelia Heinle is BELOVED on that set. Even if the writers aren't inspired by her, she seems to have deep admirers.

It's funny, though...if Victoria is truly "permanently" moved to NYC, shouldn't there be a bit more emotion about her departure? It all seems so perfunctory. And yesterday's dialogue was all about Nick competently running NE...but all I have seen is that it looks like everything is turning to sh!t and Nick's in over his head.

Oh well. I'm super-intrigued by Ashley. What is she up to?? Is this new devious turn a symptom of her unhealed mind? I don't care. I'm now crackling-excited every time I see Ashley on screen! The post-"birth" Ashley is emerging as one of the most intriguing females on canvas. And, shockingly, Emily too! (IMO, of course)

Wow, the breakdown of Chance's stabbing was brutal!! You have a dude waving around a knife and Chance goes up from behind and tries to grab his shoulder? WTF!! Did you learn that in your police training or your army training? Don't you have gun? You fought in Iraq(?) and you let some idiot with a knife take you down? For real? LOL

I'm glad to see a business story again. I have no faith that it's going to be any good, I'm happy it's at least back.

I agree it was pretty bad. It doesn't matter that it was done to advance the plot. They could have set it up in a way that didn't make Chance look completely incompetent.

I think AH will be right back after her maternity leave. Nothing we are seeing on screen indicates otherwise to me.

    • 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.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • 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?
