" The One" for what? The One she going to give her heart. That means it room for her to get to know him a little bit better. She didn't mention love but I won't put it pass TIIC to have Chloe say it tomorrow that she loves him. I thought she was going to say it when he was in the hospital. When he had his eyes close & she was talking.

Damn. Amber being all sexy and breathy with that baby voice? Shuddddddddddddddder. Make it stop!

Loved Phyllis hissing at Amber. Now there's a soapy rivalry I can get behind! But then Phick did their usual sex-solves-all-our-problems mating dance and I got deja vu again.

Not feeling Billy & Mac's break-up. And Mac not a viable candidate for surrogacy? WTF? Was there ever anybody so rational, clear-minded and do-gooding? She's the perfect candidate! Still, given that it's for that bimbo Lily Spock, gotta question Mac's brain power here.

I covet Dr. Lookalike's tie-collar shirt. Jack is such a horndog, though, lol. One sniff of a woman's backside and he sells everybody he cares for down the river.

Wow... Vail is actually alive and shot a scene! It was nice to finally see her today. It's hilarious watching Leblanc try to act all butch. From the previews, I see my worst fears about Phillip are about to be realized. he's shot 20 episodes? You bring back a character from the dead for 20 FUC$ING episodes? You could have had him haunt Katherine's nightmares and gave him that much screen time!! And after all the SOD covers, interviews, publicity. If it was Maria's plan to snag a few extra fags to watch her show, it DIDN'T WORK. And of course, Nelson is acting like it's no big deal, when in July... the whole Phillip return was the best thing since sliced bread according to him. Where's his outrage at the writing off of the first openly gay contract player in daytime? He mentioned it like a footnote. ...Oh, I'm sorry... he hasn't got time for outrage, he's too busy jerking off to pictures of Forbes March.

"Putrid" but not necessarily out of character for the underdeveloped "Kate" aka Chloe. Not that I should comment I havn't been watching or reading the sumamries but, there is much to be developed about Chloe's fast infatuation with these men. Why does she "fall" so quickly? Obviously there is something to delve into there but I don't expect much to come of it more than using it to reach some inane plot point with the most ineffective pace

I agree. I have never really understood most of her motivations or feelings for any of these men. It doesn't help that I don't think she has had strong chemistry with any of them, although I wouldn't have minded her with Cane, with the right story.

I think she's probably still supposed to be in love with Billy. Knowing Y&R, she will sleep with him the night before she marries Chance.

WORD.

It's nasty and done purely for shock value. Not only is he hiding that he stole her baby, but this hack writing team is trying to force romance on them? It's a little bit too much, and too soon.

Muhney and Case have no chemistry, AT ALL. They can't sell this (not that Muhney in particular can sell anything with his "acting.")

They're trying so hard to make them work so when the reveal comes out that he gave Sharon's baby to Ashley it would be more intense, but it doesn't work. They didn't need to go there for a good reveal.

I don't buy Adam having romantic feelings for Sharon, they've been friends for what, 2 months? I did believe at one point that he loved Heather, even though he used her. You're telling me he can completely disregard his feelings for Heather and develop feelings for Sharon in the course of two months? Also, they were trying so hard to force that Sharon could never get over Nick and love another man the same way a few months ago, so now she's suppressing that and can develop something with Adam, of all people? Talk about sh!tty and inconsistent character writing and development on this show.

It's like they've been writing the character of Adam a little differently to suit this horrible recast, and it's still not working...

    • 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 (

      ) idea it was to do an almost complete rip-off of the "who killed Tom King"-storyline. That's some quality style writing right there.....
