Well, of course my opinion matters to myself. It's why I change the channel if I don't like what I see. LOL!

Which is why (so Toups doesn't come after me with a chainsaw) I didn't change the channel during the Phillip/Chance/Nina scene today. Because I liked it. :)

I like this new Ashley, but I wonder how long will it take until she breaks down again because we all know it will happen once she learns the real paternity of Faith. It's stupid how all these women need to be victimized all the time.

I found there was much to admire on Wednesday actually:

- I liked seeing P3 and Nina, and I liked that we finally got a hint of some of the complexity of the Chance resentment.

- I liked that Chance had a backbone with Chloe. I also liked seeing him in workout gear, LOL.

- I thought Bergman did a great job..."Am I being fired?"

- Emily seems more and more interesting, and I liked her interaction with Bergman and Davidson

- The show is moving RESOLUTELY to business storylines, so I am intrigued by Kay taking Chancellor public

- There is a promise for Neil to be in the thick of this, and he was the only watchable part of the Winters for me yesterday. I cannot watch Lily-Cane, and I'm irritated by how facilely they resolved Devon's romantic crisis OFF CAMERA

Beyond the Winters/Cane, I find myself a little perplexed by why Kay suddenly needs to "make amends". And I am groaning that her lost offspring is coming back into the mix. The show needed to take a break from that for a while.

I wonder if Katherine taking the company public means she will lose Chancellor via some sort of takeover or other collapse (she is a woman, after all).

I do like the brief focus on Chance and his parents. I wish Chloe weren't involved, as I often get the feeling this is all about her (and EH tends to get more of the focus in the soap magazine piece about these episodes). I like EH and I like Chloe a lot more when she isn't in the needy stalker role but I'm sorry they didn't do more with the Phillip/Nina/Chance relationships outside of her.

I worry about the same. At least they explicitly addressed Jack's Jabot debacle...implying it would be avoided. Clearly, Kay having an undivided 51% or even 60%, or limiting the public shares to non-voting stock, would all be fixes. They acknowledged the economy, but I find the property of an IPO in this climate quite implausible.

My fear is that this will be used to bring Kay's lost child back into the fold...and this won't be a nice person.

So are you expecting someone to take over Chancellor and then we find out that this is her long lost child and they are going to ruin her business out of revenge for being given away at birth?

I'd hate to see that, although I would hope this might throw her and Jill together in a positive way, as they fight to save the company. Then again, if it's a man, then he might win Jill over and get her to work with him against Katherine.

All of this could be a very interesting, long storyline...if it was written by someone like Harding Lemay. With Sheffer and Rauch, it scares me.

Yes, you offer a compelling rationale for why Kay wouldn't let this rest. And, for the show, it makes some sense that they'd want to get this person in place before Jeanne becomes too infirm to launch the story.

      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.)

      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?
