I'm doing my best to remain spoiler free for the shows I still have the stomach to watch so I lOVED not knowing what to expect. What a great big WTF! I don't get the motive, either, THO'... it does seem odd that Eli was so quick to help Tea get away from Ross. He kicked Ross aside without so much as a blink of an eye. Has he been building up some sort of twisted plan that will snare Starr and eventually get Dani caught up in all of this in as a way of huring Todd? I like the twist so I hope the writers don't goof this up. It has potential.

You're most likely right, but it would only make me root for Eli, as long as he doesn't hurt any of 'the kids'. If the writers do something crazy, like tie this back to Mitch Laurence and Rex, or some other disappointing link, I'll have to root for Tood to take them all out. Don't do that to me writers.

+1 I hadn't thought of it that way. The writers seem to treat this as Blair's comeuppance when she runs from her relationship with Todd immediately into some other man's bed. What crud.

Blair and Eli are one of the only working couples on this show - I count maybe three or four, or five (Viki and Charlie, Bo and Nora, Cris and Layla, Brody and Jessica). They were a surprise hit with the audience. Matt Walton is hot and can act. So what do they do? Make him Spencer Special Dark. Now we know why I watch on YouTube these days. Unbearable.

Given the increasing level of contempt for women David seems to have on every return (the latest being hee hee, ha ha, let's have Matthew go find a hooker), I'm not that surprised. I just wish David could stay away.

I don't normally watch but was alerted that David and Ford had a great scene together with the fur flying, and they were funny. How bitchy can they be??? David Vickers is always funny and he going on about not everybody can be sexy like he can only for Ford to tell him he was last year's model..it is like something out of bad Dynasty fanfic and that is what made it so great. I think this is the first time I really have seen Ford in a scene, and how can people dislike him??? He had all his disses lined up in a row and had David in a panic about a sagging diaper effect in his speedos! What more do people need?!?

It made me think back to the end of David's first run, when they had that weird story where Kelly used him to get back at Dorian and Joey and then he tried to force himself on her and she hit him over the head and thought he had died and all the rest. If that story was on now would it be how David was just trying to prove his love for Kelly?

On the show these days, with a few exceptions, if you treat a woman badly (Rex, John, Todd, Ford, etc.) that means you are a hero, and the true victim. If you treat a woman decently (Ross, Eli, Sky, etc.) that means you are actually psycho and/or evil and you're just a big con. You can tell who the real men are by the way they openly treat women like garbage.

      That's what happened with Hope Williams Brady on DAYS.  Started as rich princess, went to the police academy.   Became a cop.  Now consults for the I.S.A.

      I know Curlee/Demorest tried to give Roger a conscience in regard to raping Holly, and Zas is magnificent in those scenes with Alex. But he kinda ends up blaming Adam and the fact he (well, really the writers) ignores raping Rita and being responsible for her and Ed's child's death make it less than convincing.  I do think during 89-93 they were careful to not whitewash his past with Holly, but his occasional bouts of conscience always seemed to be overridden by his obsession/lust for her. The only purely good thing I can ever recall him doing is helping Maureen during the blackout, and even then, had she lived, he would've found a way to call that favor in. I've kinda resisted saying it, but it's kind of clear to me Long was determined to have her own version of Erica Kane, and God help us all, it ended up as Reva Shayne. Although at least Kim could act. (Sorry LaLucci fans) Honestly, I'm not even sure CBS soaps ever a character as larger than life as Reva.

      Regardless, I'd still like to see more episodes from the 80s...there is very little of Charlotte Greer, Kirklands and Greenberg's out there sadly.

      A black family having a white maid would be a good subversion of stereotypes. Also want to say that while the overall show has many flaws, the biggest one that's legitimately stifling is the lack of a rival family.

      I also do not like the bits I've seen with Delia during Labine's 83 return. I am glad when she came back for the last time in 1986, she allowed Delia to move on from Frank.

      Thanks for the well-detailed reply. I'm fairly early in my viewing, so I have some time before it goes nuts. Thanks a lot! @kalbir and @DRW50 thank you so much. I am just approaching 100 episodes, so I'm good for now.

      The Duprees as the main family isn't the problem, but the fact is that over 3/4 of the cast are Duprees.. so it limits coupling potential and also keeps the canvas too closed in. Too many female Duprees and no hetero, nor gay, male Duprees is also a problem.   I also agree with @DemetriKanethat the male characters are one note, and not very layered/interesting... outside of Bill, that is. To me, I would have focused on either Nicole's family and dynamics or Dani's family and dynamics instead of trying to introduce/develop both families at the same time.  Nicole's family is more developed and interesting with loads of storyline possiblities then Dani's family right now. And because MVJ and co decided to feature so many Duprees... we're less likely to be free of any outside characters like Ashley/Derek since they're the non-Dupree part of the canvas.

      I can not see Kat as a police officer and do not want that for her. Thats not her passion nor does she care about that stuff. The stuff with Eva and Leslie is specific to her life and wanting to protect her family. Her "detective" skills have more to do with her business background, which makes her very analytical and pay close attention to details. If this show had a corporation, she'd make a shrewed businesswoman and CEO I definitely dont want to see her sleep with her cousin's husband. That would be too much of a Hayley redux which ironically you dont want with the Sharon/Hayley theory

      I would make Jan, Ashley's mom, Anita and Vernon's maid. It would lock in to why Leslie would choose to befriend both her and Mona. It also gives Ashley a connection to the Duprees and explains how she befriended Naomi. I would have had Derek start the show as a cop to explain his connection to Jacob. Kat needs to realize that she is MADE to be a detective. Have her go through police training, making the appropriate comments about the uniform along the way. Have her prove she is so much more than a rich princess, even to herself. Then, when Jacob's partner is proven to be dirty, Kat is assigned as Jacob's rookie trainee. At the same time, Naomi does finally get a case she can follow through on. Her client is a person that Jacob arrested. This puts them at odds because Jacob knows this person did it, as does Kat, but Naomi only sees the extenuating circumstances and believes he deserves a lighter sentence and a second chance. THAT is when Jacob will turn to Kat in frustration and she will lose her virginity to him.
