Agreed. There's nothing wrong with them -- the actors are doing pretty good work, the interactions make sense, etc. -- but maybe that's the problem. There's absolutely nothing grand or intriguing about this pairing, at least as it stands. Same goes for Will and Gabi. They seem like level-headed kids, they're sweet together, they make a nice couple. If I knew them in real life, that'd be great. But it's not particularly entertaining or memorable. I certainly don't feel a sense of great longing in either situation.

I think this is the problem with couples today. I see so many people saying how this couple is not realistic and that couple isn't blah blah well who wants realism on a soap opera. I can go out to my local restaurant and watch realistic young couples having meals and such. I think Chad and Abby had potential with the whole Dimera/Horton conflict but that was so played down They could have had CHad wrestling with his demons so to speak and Abby staying away from him because of his origin and had some push pull there but aside from their initial meeting, there was no conflict. Its all been perfectly nice and pretty but not compelling. I like the actors together a lot but I am not sure there is any way to reset this relationship at this point but the new writers can figure that one out. I think Will and GAbi are coma inducing and I like the actor who plays Will a lot.

Haven't seen today's episodes yet but just read on the days45online Twitter that the rewrites actually don't start until August 26th, not the 19th. Guess that tweet by Marlene (Wrapping up old storylines air 8/19.) was a little off.

Happy to hear that because I was beginning to get worried after stumbling across a disturbing spoiler for the 19th, that's hopefully rewritten by the 26th! ;-)

Damn. Carly came out of hiding and will now go to rehab. Hopefully I can get a few more Carly/Quinn scenes in the near future. Their scenes were once again the highlight of the show.

I didn't like how Brady went over the edge by calling a hit on the Dimera's. He was always on the edge (ie. beating the crap out of EJ who deserved it), so him calling a hit felt wrong to me.

Boooooo!!!!!! I was looking forward to Friday. Now we have to wait 2 more weeks. sad.png

Gotta love the convenience of this coming out just days before the re-writes were set to begin. Really now? For this reason alone I have a tendency not to believe it. Clearly there are people out there who get off on bamboozling the audience about storylines and all of the ifs and whens that go along with them.

I had to appreciate EJ and Sonny ripping off Chad's shirt while tending to him post-gunshot.

Also, Dimitri is an even bigger idiot than Marco. He shot at Chad while Chad was standing incredibly close to someone from the family that employs Dimitri?!

Taylor when talking about the shooting: "It could have been me. It could have been me!" If only!

OMG, how sanctimonious was she calling Nciiole sick and insinuating how stupid she was for not beleiving that Brady was behind this. Pot calling kettle black? She thinks now bc she knows the truth about EJ, she has a backbone and can start calling people out on the same behavior? Can they rewrite it as her being dead on the 26th?

Taylor: "You know whats not fair? How I fell in love with your husband and didnt even know who he was and once I did, I didnt walk away and chalked it up to bad luck..." Is she kidding me?

The last 2 segments with Carly, Quinn and Vivian were so good. Its a shame that this story wont be sticking around bc Im seeing the potential others do

I seriously think the writers are setting Taylor up to be some kind of mentally ill whore. "I could be bad, too, EJ!!!" She is completely off her rocker. I loved her telling Brady and Nicole, "I'm done!" because it was completely ridiculous.

DH: So you think you guys can bash me on the boards and get away with that? *evil laugh* I think not. *writes manically* Behold, my finest masterpiece. A Taylor-Made hot mess. *tears up* It's like looking in a mirror.

HIgley is the one allegedly who wanted TB in the role. Probably because she can't write a good heroine to save her life. Look at what she's done to Jennifer and Hope. Well she can't write a good villian either(see EJ and Stefano). Actually she can't write anything. Problem is I have no idea what or who this incarnation of Taylor is supposed to be. In the end likely psychotic which fits with the actress and some of the WTF'ery over the past couple of months and flip flopping. A fitting end.

I really hope Nadia/Chloe gets a decent exit. Hopefully she commits to reforming and goes to Chicago to be close to Parker.

    • 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
