A very good episode today. Ashely should have slapped the taste out of Abby's mouth but I did love her selling her stock to Jack. I did feel like she should have sold them a lot cheaper to Jack but hey whatever. I just love Abby sticking it to Tucker.

I am disappointed in Olivia in partaking in this baby mess. And Neil is tripping being so obvious about things. I mean I wish MAB wasnt going here with them but at least it's been pretty good so far. And I am glad it gets the Winters something juicy to play.

FINALLY My dear emmy award winning Bryton McClure, or simply Devon is getting something to do. I really like the Dynamic they have set up With Devon/Cane/Lily/Daniel.

And Looking at tomorrows preveiws it seems like its going to be good again.

I am liking this Cane and Lily thing. This time around I guess. i can really feel the love between them. Cane made some comments that he is not real. I'm dying to see if this kiss today will boost ratings for that date. Let's test the this so called Lily and Cane theory out

You can really tell it's sweeps.

I think it does count on a soap, otherwise we wouldn't have a cast. :lol:. I'm not saying I want Billy to do 10 years of hard time. I just want to see him do his time in GC lock up like the others have. He doesn't even have to be off screen. He can do the kind of on screen time Adam and Phyllis did.

Yes but I thought both Eileen and Marcy played it very delicately during the argment. If Abby was getting loud and somewhat hysterical, it is because this is the first time she has come out and said that she HATES Tucker, and to her mother no less. She knows Tucker did her mom wrong and her mom will not believe her. She is frustrated and terribly hurt because for a long time it has just been Ash and her. They were a tag team. She is Ashley's cherished only living child.

(And the way Stephen Nichols plays it, the way Tucker treats Abby... sometimes I wonder if he hasn't entertained thoughts of "going there" with her. No wonder Abby is skeeved out).

ED, for her part, does not play it so much as Ashley putting Tucker ahead of Abby's feelings again, but rather Abby's spoilt-child shenanigans have been tolerated thus far but asking Ash to dump her fiancé is a step too far. She probably feels Abby wants to dominate her life and choose her relationships for her. I think any parent would feel that this is a situation where compromise has to be made and their child needs to grow up and adjust.

I am about ready for Abby to expose Tucker. I love SN as a rule but, man, is he not needed on this bloated show.

Which is almost exactly how her mother treated her.

Also Ashley has no reason not to believe Abby. It's not like Abby is a liar. A schemer yes but a liar no. It's one thing for her to be irritated at Abby for the Naked Heiress stuff but it's another for her to dismiss her child's legit concerns about the man she's about to make a permanent commitment to altogether.

Plus Abby's supported Ashley through one bad choice after another (despite her issues with her mom's choices at the time) over the years including a marriage to her biological father (who treated her like trash) & a "friendship" with her brother (that nearly drove her insane again).

If I was Maura West I would be so creeped out at having to talk dirty to Victor. EB doing his closed-eye grunting and going "Mmmmmm. MMMMMMM. I'd like dat. A LOT." Gross!

And then Diane has to go and whore herself out to another aging blowhard. Gah. Did Maura piss Rauch off or something? I thought he liked blondes.

I liked Abby and Deacon's dynamic. If this was old-skool soap, they would build a random, grudging friendship between these two. But as it is MAB, I fully expect OMGZ TRUE WUV and a quickie wedding next week. Probably filler on the episode where Sharin' decides to thank the Indiana Jones Chronicles guy by blowing him in the barn.

ETA: I thought it was cool to see Devon after, what? two years? But they immediately wrote him as borderline obsessed with Lily. It's not as egregious as the insta-triangle between Neil, Sofia and not-Malcolm (seriously though. Can you imagine Olivia having ever been married to that idiot? Having ever lusted for his bod? I can't). But it is almost as out-of-nowhere.

He probably thinks this is to quote Carl, "hot stuff".

I feel sorry for Abby, even though I never really bought her and Daniel as a couple. I may even have sympathies for Daniel as Lily chooses you know who over him.

      The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

      Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.

      I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.

      As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.

      I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.

      So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
