Didn't get to see it all as there was breaking news in my neck of the woods.

I did see several continuities issues from last episode to this episode.

1) This is still supposed to be Halloween night (or at least the early morning after), but Tad is no longer in his get-up and everyone else at Fusion have no costumes.

2) If it is supposed to be Halloween night or the early morning after, how is it the JR has a support meeting at this hour of the day?

3) Zach's message to Kendall was much shorter last episode and today it was a sentence longer.

Daran Little is officially gone from AMC, as of today.

Yeah, it is strange that JR has a cancer support group meeting in the middle of the night and that everyone at ConFusion decided to ditch their costumes before the party ended.

You really didn't miss much in this episode. Adam had a prolonged flashback to shooting Stuart and Scott explained why he covered for him because he wanted justice, not revenge, and he felt Adam had suffered enough. Near the end, Annie basically told Adam her reasons for covering it up, which were similar to Scott's.

That damn Jesse refused to arrest Erica & Ryan for gaslighting Adam and breaking into his house even though the law should have been on Annie's side. Ryan figured out after Annie left that she was covering up for Adam instead of herself and he revealed his theory to Jesse & Erica.

I can't stop ffing through Kendall/Zach so I have no clue if Aiden did anything to stop their communicating again.

After learning of his friend's death, JR told Marissa he doesn't want a child right now and had a little hissy fit when she & Tad spoke to his doctor and found out what happened in group. At the end, Tad told JR he's in remission.

It was the 2nd script by Chip Hayes this week. Rebecca Taylor wrote 3 last week so I hope this isn't the new pattern because some weeks are going to really suck!

That's my concern. It's turning into the Chip Hayes and Rebecca Taylor show. While I enjoy his one liners here and there, Chip Hayes is clearly not strong in dramatic writing. These last two days of Adam's revelation should've been much more emotional than what was aired. Neither of them do emotion.

Moving on.

Jesse's an !@#$%^&*]. I simply don't like him. I think I would if he wasn't a corrupt cop. Then again, Jesse being a corrupt cop or not, it wouldn't change the incredibly annoying, hammy, over the top, extra to the tenth power acting choices Darnell employs. Simple things like the way he tilts his head back and looks down his nose at everyone. Puh-leeze, dude! :rolleyes:

Zendall's a joke. Nuff said. Why Aidan would want that pass around ho named Kendall is beyond me.

Wow! Ryan develops a third of a brain... and right on time, too! On time for him, meaning a day late and a dollar short.

I love how Tad smacks the drink out of JR's hand, it crashes and spills to the ground, and then they all leave without paying. Yeah, right! Let that happen at a real bar or nightclub!

As for this Stuart Shooting, I was kinda hoping we'd get a play by play of what the other characters were doing while they were in the mansion and on the grounds that night. I mean, I was expect a lot more, what with all those people scurrying around and splashing water in JR's face and all... What was Erica doing, for example, that had her walk into the hospital with mud on her shoes? What was Zach doing while he was there? How about Tad after getting beat up and before he got shot in the head by Calamity Jesse? So many loose ends just left dangling. Too many for my taste.

Same here. But I think it's too late for this now. The reveal is over.

I don't think any soap can top Who Killed Will? It was brilliant. Considering the fact that some of the suspects were newbies (Craig, Gloria, Steven), it was still riveting and suspenseful.

Michael E. Knight looks good with grey hair and he looks so much more healthier than he did a year ago.

I don't understand the random Aiden thing either? I guess this is their way of writing out Aiden?? Or maybe this is their way of showing how Kendall has been redeemed for sleeping with him the first time --- she's a different woman and only loves Zach and won't sleep with Aiden this time...blah :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.
