Scenes That Rubbed You The Wrong Way, But Had A Different Intent

I think he did it on purpose. He had a pissed off look on his face as he saw it, the suspenseful music cue started, and then moments later, he purposely flung his coat to the location of the picture frame.

Isn't it! :)

Yes, and I'm still wondering where the great stories are? While I will admit B&B has been somewhat more stable lately, I hardly find this to be one of the best eras of the show, but considering how that show has been most of this decade, anything can look good in comparison.

I'm just glad that Ronn Moss actually acted during those scenes with an appropriate amount of repulsion and did not kiss her back. I used to have a banner that read, first you were my father, then you were my brother and now you can be my lover. Perceived incest on soaps drives most people off. I work with a bunch of guys who don't watch soaps but went ewww when they heard that the actor who plays "Dexter" married his onscreen sister.

That wasn't why Liz brought that up. She did to shut up the twit who didn't know what the hell she was talking about in regards to Emily, Nik, Liz & Lucky.

She didn't use her rape to cover her cheating.

Something that rubbed me the wrong way, Rebecca using her dead twin's memory to scam Emily's family, then wahing about it once she got busted, and continually acting like a two faced bitch. Then Em's family falling all over themselves for this con artist just because she looks like Emily. At least Tracy wasn't buying that ish.

Plus anything with Jason and Sonny rubs me the wrong way.

I said that Liz brought it up bc it was GHs way of getting sympathy for the character. The writers have to know she's looking horrible in this story and going back to the rape, when she was her most vulnerable was a silly trick to get the audience to feel sorry for her. And yes Elizabeth DID use her rape to cover up her cheating. Rebecca was fired up and about to reveal to Lucky that she was sleeping with Nik. Liz blurted out the rape to shut her up which YOU just mentioned. For Rebecca to continue to antagonize Liz and proceed to expose her after that would made her look like the evil miserable bitch and taken some of that way from Liz. She knew what she was doing. Elizabeth has grown very manipulative and has been a pro at lying and cheating. She doesnt have Sam nor Lucky to hide behind to blame for her actions and she sure as hell doesnt have Rebecca. Nope this is all on Liz. GH can bring up the rape and every other horrible thing thats happened to her in the past, but its not going to erase or take away from what she's doing and thats acting like a tramp

I love that! It's fantasy and not meant to be a realistic depiction of anything. Erica Kane is according to AMC the worlds most beautiful, most famous, most exciting, dynamic, and challenging woman any man will ever meet. And every man will fall for her if she decides she wants them to. I love this unrealistic and cartoonish fantasy they concocted, and I think where AMC lost me is when they diminished Erica to highlight Greenlee. Suddenly there was a new wannabe in town but it just doesn't work because with Erica you can make allowances you can't for anyone else. She can scare a bear off, go to prison in heels, be a super model at 5'2", be called the most beautiful woman on earth despite a pronounced nose, and all of that. No one else can. Her allure is timeless, just like in Star Trek Capt Kirk slept with every woman in the galaxy, or Batman's belt can hold anything he wants no matter how big it is: it is just the way it is. Just about every character on soaps is more realistic than her, and perhaps that is one of the reasons she rose to the very top of the heap.

Nick and Sharon making a big deal out of Cassie and/or her drawing rubs me the wrong way. The way the writers use her memory to make "subtle" hints for her parents to reunite or for them to cheat on their significant others. The only way for the family to be perfect is for her to be their or her replacement, Faith. It's like they put Cassie on this pedestal and Noah is an afterthought. Like Noah himself isn't good enough for him.

I'm sure this is just me, but I can't help feeling Noah is second place to Cassie, maybe even third with Faith.

No, it's not just you. I'm glad you brought this up. I got that feeling earlier this year in particular and that's why I was hoping he would emancipate himself from them.

I was appalled that they used Cassie's memory to condone whoring around. That's what this was. It was not love, or fate. She was "loving" two other men at the same time.

The show should have never had them have sex during that storyline. It made both characters and their love look cheap. They could have gotten remarried and then had the miracle child.

I also hate fake, made up memories which viewers know did not happen. That damn teddy bear tree and all the endless recitations of the happy family Newman Christmases. I don't think so.

    • 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 (
