I didn't expect a change to be noticeable but I could definitely sense something different in the writing. (yes, roll your eyes at me all you want :lol: )

At first I was pissed off at Marissa's obvious discomfort with the reveal but on second thought, I found it very realistic and I loved Bianca's behavior through out all this. It's so obvious that Marissa ran back home to have sex with JR so that she could prove her straightness. I truly hope we are spared of any sex scenes between them.

I even liked Cara in this episode, she didn't cry once!

I really love how Marissa took the news but didnt like her assertation that she was straight and only liked men. I was hoping this would be the out for her to admit that she had been with a woman int he past and was bi. I really hope that didnt solidify the end of them

Is all Diixie ever do is sleep? When is she going to wake up?

HELL has frozen over! Glad to hear you admit it...lol. This is the second time in the last week that I read someone that was vehemently opposed to it a few months ago, liking them

First Minx, now Jamanda and JR. Can I get a Griffin? :lol: Are you sure you're not drunk? 1 o'clock cocktails will do that to ya

I don't think you will ever get her to say that! :lol:

I don't mind that. I thought it was in character of who Marissa really is and not this miss vixen "fierceness" we've gotten since the recast. Marissa should be a naive girl who basically only slept with JR and Scott and didn't realize she was working in a brothel. Not to mention that if Marissa had had some experiences with women before then she would've know that Bianca was lusting after her for weeks instead of being completely clueless.

So far, Broderick's doing great, imo! One day in and already there were more references to history (JR's stuffed toy, Dixie's flashbacks, Jake dressing up as a pirate) than there's been in several years.

I thought Marissa's reaction to Bianca's admission was very well done. Now I'm waiting for Marissa to start fantasizing about Bianca when she's with JR.

Tad/Cara were cute. It was the first time in weeks that Cara didn't get dramatic material to set off her tears. I loved Opal's offer to help Cara get ready since she was always ahead of her time with makeup and hairstyles.

I can't wait for Dixie to wake up and start complicating Tad's "marriage"!

Aww! LB came back with so much heart and family-oriented, character-driven scenes!

Trevor, Joe, Ruth, Adam, Palmer! Loved the flashbacks. Loved Tad and JR's scenes.

Loved Minx! Loved the short clips of the kids swimming!

Loved it all!!!

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
