Joe Mascolo was amazing today! What a great performance, I really felt for Stefano today..

Someone who wasn't and is never amazing, Galen Gering as Rafe! All he does is SMIRK with that one facial expression, and talks with his insanely monotone voice! He sucks! Sick of Rafe sitting on cloud 9, spewing his cocky arrogance everywhere. The way he was treating Stefano today was disgusting considering what he's going through right now! I just hate him.

I love when Philip and Vivian have scenes! They are very entertaining. Vivian's sarcophagus plan is outrageous but I'm loving it.

That Victor and Ciara scene towards the end was adorable, aww ;-)!!!

I know. Just seeing John Aniston giggling as he chased Ciara out of the room totally made me day. It was great.

I am really liking Stephanie at the moment and the way she is just so matter-of-fact about her scheming. Anybody else think eventually Ian will get a haircut and Stephanie will fall for him?

Especially when Philip pulls out the Kiriakis rage at Vivian. I love that Vivian has no clue that everybody in town hates her. I sort of feel sorry for her.

Maggie-Victor really is "magic." Sigh. They are arguably the most romantic couple on this show right now.

I also love how the Kiriakises and the DiMeras interact like real families without losing their bad-guy don't-mess-with-us edge. It's actually more compelling to watch than when they were just moustache-twirling Bond villains.

I'll be honest. I'm kinda FFing all this EJ/Sami hospital stuff. I stop whenever Lexie comes on, though.

It's CRIMINAL what they're doing to Lexie. She's a DiMera yet she's perpetually treated like a glorified day player. It's sickening. I wish she would go to another soap where her talents would be utilized but it's pretty much slim pickings. The only soap I could think of is YR but with MAB at the helm her airtime wouldn't be any better than it is now.

Fairly good episode today. I loved how when Will said he knew what Sami did, he actually knew what she did instead of a contrivance. I also thought I'd never see the day that Melanie actually showed some logic (i.e. telling Maggie she could understand if she was leaving town to see her daughters or going on the cruise she meant to go on with Mickey... but not to run away from her problems

I agree that they are wasting Lexie!! She's the Marilyn Munster amongst the screwy Dimera Clan... the writer's should play that angle up!

Higley hates Lexie and RJ was almost fired TWICE under her tenure. She treated her like crap on her first run and erased everything DiMera about her. The baby switch storyline was wrapping up when she first came in and RJ was GOLD in that storyline. Instead of anchoring that storyline by embracing her new heritage, Higley promptly bacburnered her AGAIN not before having her crawl on her hands and knees for the Brady's forgiveness. Talk about insulting. A lot of people hated Langan but he was the only writer who took RJ off the backburner and made her shine as a DiMera.

I think RJ could be great on AMC, but AMC has already met their Black quota with The Hubbards.

Loved Carly today lol!! She wasn't playing any games at all, she was telling Vivian and Gus how it is. Love Carly when she starts to go gangster on people, she was fierce!!! Vivian/Carly banter was hilarious.

Also loved when Gus got inside the coffin, LOL!! He was freaking out. Vivian decked out that coffin, there's even a monitor in there LOL...i am really liking this story, it's very bizarre!!

Maggie is hilarious! Loved the scene where she was telling herself that Victor was a good person then all of a sudden she snapped out of it. I am so glad she witnessed that Victor/Ciara moment.

What the hell are you talking about? Renee was not fired TWICE during Higley's tenure. She was fired TWICE in 2007 when Hogan Sheffer was HW, and Ed Scott was EP.

Secondly, Higley DID write for Lexie. The autism story was something for Lexie and Abe, even though it really sucked. The minute Tomlin came on board was when the autism was effectively stopped and Lexie and Abe were moved to the backburner. If you should be mad at anyone it's Tomlin. Higley sucks as a writer, but you shouldn't sit here and make up straight lies about a person. Please.

    • Keith D Robinson is 49. Maurice Johnson is 46.
    • I hope they give him more to do than just be a prick as you say. I can see how viewers would like him because the actor is so charming despite the character being such an absolute pain.    I would agree. And there was also the undercurrent of Raven and Draper sort of flirting with each other. The actors play that attraction and it worked so well in that scene. 
    • Daniel Cosgrove is PERFECT as the sleezy politician. This might be my favorite role of his. All of these people keeping Kristina’s secret is so annoying. I really want her to pay.
    • What did happen to Beth between 86 and 89? Did she have amnesia?
    • I actually thought he came off as younger. It's so hard to buy Martin as Nicole and Ted's son unless they had him when they were 12.
    • @chrisml Isn't remarkable that, on a soap whose brand is built on twists and mysteries, that Raven's last straw was as simple as Logan saying that she was incapable of loving Jamey.  In the episode when Raven exit's and leaves Jamey with April, I can remember feeling the subtext that Raven is also trying to talk herself into leaving him behind.  There's so much in that little scene.  She's trying to stick it to Logan for saying she was a bad mother.  She's both granting April's wish, and damning her with the old adage of being careful what she wished for.  And, she's hinting to Draper that she's going to boff his father. It remains my favorite scene, and it still blows my mind that was not the end of that episode.  
    • Oh lord not Drew just figured out it was both Nina and Portia that set him up. Willow WILL never leave this man. Ric taking the case purely just to spite Sonny is [!@#$%^&*].ing hilarious.
    • And in addition to Patti being de-aged, she was no longer a nurse, divorced from Len(fair enough) and her two children were not seen and barely mentioned. So basically she was a totally new character. For newer viewers it didn't matter but any loyal viewers would have been wondering about all the changes with Patti. Sarah Whiting always puzzled me. The writers finally decide to acknowledge Jo's family and do so by making up a never mentioned adopted teen. Why not just bring in Tracey, Jo's actual grandaughter? As for Liza, perhaps it would have been wise to rest the character when Sherry left. They were big shoes to fill and her Liza was so identified with Travis. I don't recall what was going on in the story at that time but if they knew Sherry was leaving, write it so Liza would leave town to care for an ailing Janet and take a breather with the character for a few months.
    • Ahh interesting. Yeah, that's sad for A-M. I will say, he and Nick became fast friends when Susan started working at Spaulding. A-M/Lucy/Nick/Susan had a lot of double dates in those 7 months. A-M was Nick's best man at his wedding to Susan, which now that I think about it, is odd that he wouldn't have considered Fletcher. I remember those two were so close at the paper, and even living together with Ben. Once Tangie left SF, Nick left the paper, and Fletcher/Holly were rarely seen... so I guess they felt that friendship wasn't shown often enough anymore (which again, lazy writing).
    • I honestly don't think Alan-Michael ever really had a friend on the show. Maybe Cameron or Samantha, but otherwise... *Cameron was a high school friend who ended up dating teenage Dinah after she broke up with A-M. Samantha is Phillip's biological sister, who A-M treated like a sister. Interestingly enough, they were born the same week on the show in 1981, but A-M ends up being older than her when she returns to town in '89.
