yes I loved when Lexie had her way with Hope. But Like you said it went away instantly.

TOday was a good episode. I don't know how I feel abut nu Taylor. But like some one else she sure could use a burger or two.

I loved how this Safe plot is coming to head and it seems it's going to draw in a lot of poeple.

Say what u want, but Dena sure knows how to involve many characters into one plot. SHe did the same thing with The baptism of Parker, with the Caroline Kayla angle. Can't wait to see how all this plays out. It sure is getting good.

Welcome back, Tamara Braun!! I thought she did great on her first day. It is no longer painful to watch the character of Taylor! Is it just me or when NL was in the role didn't it just seem like the show was going in slow motion whenever she was on screen?

Taylor & Lexie wub.gif Suddenly I'm enthralled by their relationship. TB & RJ work very well together...I really enjoyed their scenes. One thing, I wish there could've been more emphasis in those scenes on Theo being missing. It seemed to be all about Taylor & EJ. For that moment Lexie almost seemed to completely forget about Theo, which I really disliked.

Great work by Peter Reckell today, loved Bo's stern plea to Leah. I'm liking how this is turning out & how it's tying in with the whole Rafe thing. I agree with aMLC, I like how this is bringing in a lot of characters.

lol @ Ciaras line "cross my heart and hope to die". And I just LOVE how upset with Theo she got over him not wanting to lie!! WOW..

I love psycho little Ciara! She is such a little bitch.

And even though the writing for Taylor is still tripe, the recast really does make the scenes less painful. AllmyDaysatGH, you nailed it with that line about all NL's scenes feeling "like the show was going in slow motion."

I was imagining those Taylor and Lexie scenes with NL still there and all I could imagine was a lot of unnecessary breathing and gasping..With that said loving having Tamara back but as someone pointed out I was really put off how the scene turned into Taylor/EJ talk..Totally unrealistic for a parent with a missing child to start asking questions about her brother's love life...

I know and agree!

I am trying to wait for more but I don't see her as this greater thespian. I don't think she has the "look" for Taylor I liked Natalia's Taylor I don't get into the breathing and all that because I have witnessed many actors who do that on screen. I liked the demure Taylor NL presented this one looks like she's been through the school of hard knocks and looks older than Nicole. And first off I'm not seeing any heat between her and EJ but I didn't see heat w/her character w/Sonny on GH. I did see it with her Carly and Alcazar but that didn't last but for a minute before they got shut down. I didn't see her as Ava so I don't have to go through the silliness of her coming back as another character which I think is absurd...

.. I'll wait it out .... but I'm trying to get my mindset on EJ leaving Nicole for her (even though its an arranged marriage) and thus far I just can't see it.

I thought they were going in a different direction with Taylor? I guess not, cause I swear I remember reading that JS said there wasn't any change with the character despite the recast

TB doesn't sell demure or innocent and that's what Taylor is IMO. I don't get the hype about TB, she's highly overrated. I thought NL had chem with James, Ari, and Renee

Melanie...what a brat! Oh Maggie, you love Chloe more than me. Wahhhhhh! Oh shut up! Im glad Maggie shut her down and put her in her place.

LOL at Stefano. The Brady women only cause problems fopr Dimera men, in regards to Ciara and Theo. Speaking of which, Theo got a bit bratty with fake Rafe yesteraday. He better watch his tongue

I'm sure Taylor won't be as demure and innocent once the whole Rafe thing comes out and she finds out EJ's involvement in it all. He's one of the main reasons her mother was killed. EJ (& Stefano) unknowingly hired some bat crazy man with a severe criminal past to take over Rafe's life, and he ended up causing a lot of unwanted damage on the side. I'm sure the "change" in Taylor is to come, I was not expecting for it to happen instantly.

I know DAYS sited their reason for recasting Taylor as wanting to take the character in a new direction, and I believe that, but I also think there's another reason as well and that is that they realized how abominably awful Livingston turned out to be in the role & they had to take action 13 weeks in and replace her immediately.

I love that she saw the kiss! Finally! This is going to be great...

Damn regular Rafe for miraculously swimming back from that ocean. Couldn't he have drowned?

Loved Kate/Stefano/Chad/Abby today

Love at first sight :lol: :lol:

IA though he's ready to get a divorce and everything just like that...I mean he says I didn't expect her (Nicole) to fall in

love with me...but they share a bed and all that so?

I'm not seeing anything "spectacular" that's all I'm saying. She looks painfully shrively to me like she's hungry :lol: I just want to hand her a happy meal. I am enjoying several storylines though and I am glad they've been found out but can't wait until she (and Nicole) finds out EJ's role in their mother's death

...I always like Chloe scenes she cracks me up for some reason...esp w/Victor.. also glad the FakeRafe storyline is moving along. Not sure about Daniel and Jennifer's storyline yet...Melanie? I don't know I'm still indifferent to the character. But I like the new DiMera

Dario asking Melanie out wub.gif My heart!! That started off as the most perfect scene. DAYS used the perfect music cue to. I hate that things went south after that! I really wish Mel had accepted. I was hoping for some growth in their relationship but instead it just stayed the same, I think it even got worse...damn Brady. He is ruining this!!

Daniel & Jennifer...it just gets worse. Downright painful scenes between them. I literally start to get mad while watching them. I'm so disappointed in Jennifer for kissing him...

Loved the Chloe/Justin scenes. That guy who approached Chloe ohmy.gif I could actually see them together. That was very random though. I'm glad Chloe didn't accept his offer to go out to dinner. Who knows who that guy is!! I'm sure this won't be the last we see of him...

I know EJ & Taylor did not sit & have a wine picnic in the woods (or was that a beach?)?! angry.gifangry.gif SO selfish!!

LOVING Nicole!! This is the Nicole I like the best. Scorned, heartbroken, revenge induced silent bitch on wheels!! I cannot wait to see her bust EJ & Taylor and make them pay!!

Poor Nicole! EJ and Taylor are revolting and I hope they get whats coming to them. Looks like Nicole will be out for blood and I hope she gets the proof she needs.

Love Adriene being used to talk to Carly

Theo sure forget about Rafe being mean fast. I expected him to rat him out. The fake guy has a way with kids

Recast Dario if they want this pairing to work. The actor is dreadful and has no chemistry with Molly Burnett who herself is such a natural actress. She literally carries him in all of their scenes bc that can only happen for so long before he starts dragging her down

Im getting sick of Chloe's whining. I like her but the pity party she constantlyis throwing is irritating. I wish she'd get off her ass and do something with her life instead of drinking and crying, looking like a pathetic fool

    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
