Love today episode! Vets everywhere, no: EJ, Sami, Rafe, Nicole, Mel, Stephanie, Chloe, Phillip or Daniel! Love the stefano and Vivian interaction...............took almost a year!

I can't wait for Vivian's reign of revenge to begin!! Since she's gunning for Nicole, maybe she can finally interact with Sami again. I seem to recall in the 90's that Sami and Vivian worked together. True? False?

Ah, yes. They did. Good times!

Didn't Sami blackmail Vivian into working with her during that time she had drugged Austin - was it Vivian who got her the drug? I can't remember.

So, i know the pink tone has been discussed here before, but i honestly never noticed it on my tv until the HD switch.

look at this cap of the episodes off of hulu-

damn, no wonder yall complained so much!

These last couple of episodes were really good. It is amazing what no Nicole, Sami, EJ and Rafe does to raising the quality. They seem to literally make the show worse. I haven't really been following Hope in prison, but is Ty Treadway buying illegally harvested body parts or something? I don't really know what this story is about.

I haven't really noticed the pink as much as the blue - that colour is really popping. Actually the entire show has great colour.

I love Vivian! She is so over the top. I love her talk with Stefano. She is so much fun.

I think Nicole is generally great, but she just as easily fits in with the Kiriakis stuff. The other three... take a damn nap.

All we officially know is that Dr. Walters (Treadway) has some relationship with the Warden. When he needs an organ for transplant, he gets in touch with her. It's unclear if he knows that she and Lee are killing prisoners to make it happen, but that phone call was our first solid indication that he's up to something shady.

I'm hoping that the whole Jen/Ben (ew) thing is just a way to get Jen pulled into the story so that she is part of Hope getting out of prison...

I agree about Nicole... she's a character that can fit into any of the stories currently on the air. For whatever reason, the show doesn't think to interact Sami with any of the other characters even though she has had history with most of them. Shame...

I too hope that Jennifer is involved more in the prison story! Maybe she can go undercover, help Bo/Hope crack the case even pretend to be interested in Dr. Ben just to get dirt on him and expose the prison story

Still on the fence about the prison story except that it looks like it is picking up steam at last (much quicker then some of the other clunker's... i.e. Sami/Rafe/EJ). Still trying to figure out the point of the story. It's either to restore Hope to her former self totally or just to reunite Hope/Bo. Hopefully it's both and not just to reunite Hope/Bo. We shall see.

I think the prison story serves the purpose of actually making Hope serve prison time (this regime has been pretty good about addressing consequences for characters who commit crimes) while also giving her some Hope-ness back AND getting her out of prison early. You know she'll bring this organ theft ring down and be rewarded with a commuted sentence.

I would love to see Jennifer sing "Jenny From The Block". I didn't realize his name was Ben.

I realized it as I was typing that post, and I was simultaneously amused and horrified.

And that's perfectly fine. At least we are seeing a major character actually paying for their crime. That in itself is a reward in this story.
