I think they need to bring Mick Cain back on a regular, full time basis. He was cute as hell, and I thought he could act. I tuned in today for the first time in a while, and I'm gonna watch again tomorrow... I like this thing with the "Dare" line. Underhanded corporate backstabbing always piques my interest. And MY... Rick Hearst looked scrumptious today, black turtlenecks are very flattering for him... I wanted to sop him up with a biscuit. I'm just going to say it. The only thing that REALLY REALLY bothers me is that Jack Wagner at this point looks 5 years OLDER than Lesley Anne-Down. Am I right, here?

I'm a bit offended by today's episode... all this snickering about 80's style, and acting like it's some bunch of tacky stuff. Today's fashions will be looked upon 20 years from now as dull and lifeless. Their "bad" fashions that Eric and Ridge designed were basically good gowns with bad elements... mainly the belts and the shrug on Steffy's dress. Take the belt and shrug off of Steffy's gown, and it would look like something Bob Mackie would do. Simply take the belt off of Brooke's gown, and it's perfectly lovely. When it came to Donna's... relace the skirt with a long, straight black velvet skirt W/slit, and you'd be ready to roll. I don't like how they are acting the entire gowns are bad.

Yeah...other than that first design, complete with fugly boots, these dresses seem rather common, not horrifically bad. Brooke's dress was a horrid color, and looked dated, but not ugly.

And why are Nick and Sandy so shocked her rape kit was never tested? Have they never heard of shortages, backlogs and cold cases? California's been inundated with economic problems for years. You'd have to have your head buried in the sand to expect every rape case gets treated like it's on CSI.

I'm hoping that Dumb and Dumber lose their little game of sabotage. I'm really tired of their elitist attitudes, if they were such good business men they wouldn't have lost the company in the first place. I'm not a fan of Bill Spencer but I want he and Katie to win this one. As for Steffy -- she looked like a hooker in that dress, Donna's dress was two sizes to big for her and Brooke looked like the middle aged sex-pot she is.

My question is why are these two civilians allowed in the evidence room full of un-tested rape kits in the first place. Nick and Sandy both acted like they had a right to be there. Even in the world of fictitious soapdom THAT'S UNTHINKABLE.

I was appalled when they were about to start touch thngs but thank god the detective told them not to touch that

I think I read something about her rapist going to be revealed. I mean, really is it supposed to be someone we know? This thing happened 5 years ago off screen. To think that Nick is now super detective out to crack the case is ridiculous. I see a repeat of the Katie storyline here with Sandy falling in love with him bc he's standing by her. Nick will most likley cheat on Bridget and the two will divorce as moves on with pregnant Sandy

I watched her whole show. It was terrific. If you can believe it, the oldest woman she made over is 11 years YOUNGER than Joan. Just goes to show what some discipline will get you in life...

Hush your mouth! Joan Collins IS Glamour personified. She is the best of the best. Her generation really understood the art of presentation.

I have a different definition. :) She is trash Hollywood glamour. Real Hollywood classy glamour for me is Head/Adrian/Givenchy/Plunkett/others and all those divas of black & white films: Garbo, Crawford, Dietrich and many others. The iciness, mysteriousness, sophistication and stylish costumes coupled with black & white photography and other factors made a difference.

Joan is all flashy, colours, over-the-top. I like it, but prefer just a tiny bit more the refinement and restrainedness.

    • 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.

    • 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.....
