Brittany Underwood needs to be watching her ass. Frons clearly has no interest in her though she is an RC favorite, and it also seems clear to me that in six to eight months they will torch this fledgling Ford and Langston reunion and put him with Jessica as the ultimate redemption while Brody, I don't know, kidnaps Bree and blows himself up. Brody was also an RC favorite, but so was Natalie who might as well be wearing a "PERPETRATOR HERE" button, and so was Jared. David Gregory is decent, but not good enough for ANY OF THIS. IT SUCKS.

I hope she does go. She has been getting worse and worse since Ford came along, but Ford/Jessica? Ew, I'd rather him get paired with Gigi or something. I don't see why they would tie a character like Ford down with a baby, I really hope Brody is just the father of both.

Kim Zimmer works. She even works with Rex. They click. I like the idea of this nouveau riche looney tunes bitch being Rex's mother and making everyone's life hell from time to time. And I like that Viki and Charlie are continuing to have airtime. This story is far from genius, but it is the only one fully holding my interest, along with Clint's reign of terror.

Agreed. Rex isnt getting on my nerves around her, but boy do I hate that damn accent KZ is using.

I really like Brian Kerwin, I hope he gets alot out of this but I dont want him as Rex's father, I wanted him as Brody's, but he has enough paternity problems as it is.

I'm pretty sure Rex is Echo and Clint's, which I could get behind if they both remain very adversarial with him. I think there is a lot of mileage in Echo making Rex and family's life hell for years, and Clint trying to groom Shane out from under him, as opposed to Matthew where I like aspects of the tale but think Matthew-as-jerkweed is terribly forced to prop Nate.

IA, it's looking more and more like Echo and Clint are Rex's parents. Of course, with this being Rex, that could change this time next year. ;-)

Because I can:

Anna and Sadie do the timeless soap opera coffee klatch

For years, Lillian Hayman fought against later dialogue writers who took one look at her and assumed Sadie was Mammy from Gone with the Wind.

ETA: Oh, hell, just watch it on YT.

Thank you for posting this, I hadn't seen it in a while. I saw an old photo of Lillian, I guess from her last years on OLTL, dressed up as the Statue of Liberty for a costume party or something. I thought it was very sweet. I know how condescending that sounds.

I think any paternity story about Rex will fail (as his other paternity stories have done) if it is about Rex. If the story becomes about how poor Rex needs Bo as a father and why can't Bo have a good son like Rex instead of a jerk like Matthew, then the potential is squandered. They really need to remember who Clint is IMO for any story he's in to work. Silly things like Clint snapping his fingers while Ford gets a boo-boo are amusing but they come across like he's about to menace Penelope Pitstop.

I will agree that Kim Zimmer is actually working on this show for me. The cynic in me would say it's just because so much of it is close to unwatchable, but...

I like this new harsher Ford, but I agree with Carl--things like the Ford scene and the way he's starting to have his finger in so many characters' fates, is making me fear he's gonna be the next Eli (just like Eli became the next Mitch, etc).

Oh and word to those who say Vicki wandering around town and making chit chat about art (bad art, no less) just seems so wrong... shouldn't she be wringing her hands? I mean frankly I'm tired of people doing that--and I realized today how beyond ridiculous it is that these characters are constantly kidnapped--yes EVEN on a soap--but it didn't ring remotely true to character. Maybe she was just distracted by her nonchalant skin cancer removal. (No, I know people get questionable patches of skin removed all the time, but that line still seemed odd to me--not knowing Erika Slezak's situation and I'm sure it was connected to something that happened to her, but)

I'm starting to like Hannah as a psycho somehow even LESS than Eli as a psycho. Never thought that would happen. What a waste-and not one that's remotely entertaining or intriguing to watch happen.

I'll cheer the day Brittany Underwood is fired. Jason Tam's underapprecated talent propped her for years. She's plain awful now and except for her ability to strip and do sexual gymnastics with David Gregory, I see no chemistry. Meghan Fahey is another very talented actor who is going nowhere on the show. Hannah could be an interesting, intense character but I'm just tired of the way she's written. I thought they were going to "Marty" and redeem her; and maybe they still will but I doubt it.

Kim Zimmer has alot of dynamic energy but don't want to see her owning the show for months. So far the balance is there, so I'm cautiously optimistic. As for Echo being Rex's mother, ho hum. I much preferred Roxie. Loved their interactions.

Darren makes me wish I was 12 years old again so I can beat him up. What a dork.

Furthermore, I couldn't care less about Density's birthday -- get her the hell off my screen, please.

Can Natalie just give birth already? This stomach holding is ridiculous.

LOL@Matthew confronting Nate outside. Matthew looks like an overgrown 7th grader, who Nate could easily take apart.

Um....

is VIVIAN Destiny's mother?!? She seemed awfully concerned over Greg- yes, they had a relationship briefly around the time Greg and Rachel were being toyed with as a pairing- but I didn't think she would react like she did... like she was losing someone she really loved. If Greg and Vivian knew each other when they were younger and she was pregnant- they gave the baby up, but Greg couldn't do it and had his parents adopt her?

There was that motherly talk that Vivian had with Destiny a while back about having sex- I always thought that was strange.

Also if Greg isn't in the picture anymore since TT is leaving- it might be interesting for Destiny to discover that Vivian is really her mother and struggle with the death of her father... I like Vivian, so I wouldn't mind it. And she's paired with Shaun so I guess she will still have things to do! Especially as Llanview's OBGYN.

Matthew: Don't mess with me, I'm the new Clint.

Nate: Get off my damn lawn!

Matthew: Are you talking to me?

Nate: When I was your age I had to walk ten miles to my abroller!

Matthew: My dad's the chief of police and my mother...

Nate: My mother was named Whistler.

Why is Natalie the one interogating Greg? I foolishly thought this Eli story was on its way out--only to suddenly realize (duh) that it was gonna play into November sweeps. SIGH

If Greg was ready to cause the death of people all to hide the fact his sister was his daughter, then he's stupider than I thought.
