ICAM, DeeeDee. I wonder if the new biological connection between Rex and Jess will shift the dynamic between the two sisters. Some time ago I'd blogged about that possibility. It should be used as a plot point to reignite that old rivalry (the love-hate thing that Jess and Nat have had going for a while). Rex was the only person Natalie could ever truly count on and now she may be 'losing' him, to some degree, to Jess. Jess has always had Clint, Bo, Asa, Viki, and her brothers. Roxy, Rex and Jared were the only three people in Nat's life she didn't have to share with Jessica. Now Jared is dead, Rex is Jess' bio brother (which shouldn't matter, but it will) and Nat rarely sees Roxy. Nat tried to remove Jess from the Buchanan clan, Tessica nearly killed Nat on a couple of occasions. Nat tried to hurt Jess with the news about Chloe, and later changed her mind.

The only thing Stacy and Gigi have between them is a lust for Rex, one I understand less and less as the show goes on!

Give me the Buchanan sisters any day of the week.

I think they ruined that potential story by already driving Rex so far away from Natalie. He is rarely interested in her life. She cares about him but it seems forced now when he notices her. I still remember how completely uninterested he was when she disappeared last year.

Unless JPL improves and the writing improves for Rex I think he's going to automatically drag any story down.

I hope you folks are already bracing yourselves for Kim and Clint makeout scenes (Kint/Clim/Klit??), who doesn't see where this is going...

And I hope the girl playing Kim is taking her vitamins and doing her chin-ups, because I predict HBS, and even ES, destroying her in confrontation scenes. For some reason, I imagine Dorian rooting for Kim, a young schemer dupin' the Buke and making Viki and Nora eat their little hearts out.

Since...ever.

Todd's done the best he can.

Just look at his life. His original soulmate, Marty, was taken from him by that whole gang rape misunderstanding, which was mostly Powell's fault anyway, since Powell is the truly evil one. Then Blair tricked him into marriage and out popped some brat who is never happy. Then Todd met his true soulmate, Tea, who understands him and loves him, and gave him this wonderful daughter who is so much like him.

Todd was so weighed down by the desperate golddigger and her mouthy brats, but after Marty helped him find love again last year, he's gone from strength to strength with Tea.

All he needs is a chance, and he will never do wrong by Tea or his daughter.

It is pissing me off that this Mitch storyline is going to be turned into a John storyline. WTF did that happen??

PLEASE give me more Viki and Mitch in scenes together. Their scene today was short but damn it was good. The chemistry between Viki/Mitch is that twisted but great kind of chemistry and I want to see MORE. I feel so bad for Charlie, and it doesn't look good, he is going to be hitting that bottle again, but I think he might have some help from Mitch getting there. :(

Can't believe I am going to admit this but I am interested in the Clint/Kim thing coming, but could they at least leave Stacy out of the mix.

Ok this is my favorite post in a very long time. Sadly, if I didn't know you from around here, and I saw this post on some other board (which shall remain nameless), I'd think it was entirely genuine. You captured the essence of the perfect Todd seen only by the few.

Another great episode. This show is really on fire. Loved the Charlie/Viki/Mitch scenes today. Brian Kerwin has to be one of the finest male actors I've seen in daytime in a long time. He possesses such a natural almost real like quality that you forget your watching an actor. I can't wait to see how this story unfolds for him and Viki. I hope we can expect to see more of them now.

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170.

    • I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (
