Maybe she went home & Changed clothes?

Cutter and Blair also changed their clothes too since its on the same day as yesterday and last thursday's episode! Why would they change their clothes if what they had on before was fine?

In one part of town (Jeffrey and Matthew) it was the same night, same with Todd. But I don't get how Dani would have left the dinner, and then went back to Shelter when she was already there with Tea, Victor and Jack. Wouldn't they have known she stayed at the bar? If not, she went home and back out again?

i think it's the next day...

It was the same day.

The continuity was way off.

Again, I think this is symptomatic of the half hour format. They go for more plot and have to make certain leaps to make it happen.

I must be too old to appreciate the club scene. Every time they go there, I cringe.

JMO, KM always had the raw talent. She had some heartbreaking scenes during Tea's cancer and hands down the best emotional reaction to learning TSJ was Victor instead. The scene where she chokes up and accepts him as still her dad was amazing. I agree with another who said she always reacts to dialogue even when just in the background of scenes. Her face has always been very expressive and she always nailed the Toddian sarcastic eye roll.

It's hard to like or dislike Destiny since all she's done is dance around. We need some scenes explaining her emotional state to judge her IMO.

I found B&N cute but I'd rather see them discussing Matthew and Drew situation. I feel like the show needs to do a better job explaining what happened this past year. Like with Cutter, how did he get out of jail and why does he seem to owe shady characters so much.

On an edgey show, I rather smiled at the oldie I got you babe montage. Poor Téa she wants to cherish having her husband back from the dead but is so scared inside. I feel fear driving her every step of the way.

Overall I found the Shelter scenes really sleazy today and too much the focus again.

KM's Dani is so much more the dark sardonic Manning child that I always envisioned Starr becoming before either writing destroyed her or KA lost all her natural acting talent trying to be an ACTRESS after middle school. Still not sure what happened there. Sad to think KM was wasted on that terrible Nate. Glad she is part of this reboot. I remember her signing on the first go around too- she seems to love her character and being part of OLTL.

Agree need to see Destiny outside Shelter with Drew and find out what happened with Matthew. It was obviously a touchy subject with him when Dani made the family man comment so I feel like they have to tell us more beyond "Been there. Done that. Had the baby." They showed some chemistry though so my interest is piqued.

I squealed over I Got You Babe. I am more in the demo that is supposed to like all the club crap they are playing but this was far more awesome. Reminded me a little of how Scandal has worked Motown into like every episode. I can't remember the last time I heard an actual recognizable song on a soap. I miss the 90s when that was a mainstay. How did they afford Cher royalties?!?

I'd say through their deal with universal music group, but the song falls under the ownership of Warner music group. So...smart people.

no it's still not on hulu I tweeted them about it on twitter

I won't buy it on itunes lol. I can wait

LOL Maybe I'm just jealous cuz I can't watch them at 3am--but the first page of this did make me kinda laugh--I don't think Hulu not posting them in the middle of the night means they deserve complaints about not having their act together... :P

Re "inconsistencies" I thought Jeffrey left to his room yesterday--not the apartment, which would have fit with today.

The scene where she chokes up and accepts him as still her dad was amazing. I agree with another who said she always reacts to dialogue even when just in the background of scenes.

That was me who said that about KM--but I agree with you, obviously. I think, while she continues to improve, the huge improvements many are seeing are simply down to her having decent material.

I loved the montage. OK what was Nora's last job on the ABC OLTL? Is she just back to being a private lawyer? (I don't think she was DA anymore) Gah, I've forgotten a lot of trivial material like that.

I took Tea getting but of bed as more her worried and wanting to check on Dani and then deciding not to--but...

The club scenes were decent, I thought. I sorta expected Cutter to at least recognize the girl who ODed on opening night and freak out she was there. Riff Raff was pretty bad but I can handle him if he only does the occasional episode--his character served a function and I've seen worse guest stars.

I actually like the Rama/Vimal open marriage thing but I do feel like it's being played maybe too fast. They decided to have an open marriage within a 3 minute scene. But I know they still sorta have to figure out the pacing (which, as I've said before, overall I do like.)

I actually kinda like that Matthew is a douche (to use one of new AMC's fave words) but still kinda likeable. He obviously cares about his friends, etc. And honestly I can relate to being shot down at the bar and then immediately going online as soon as I get home lol.

Cher's stuff is licensed to many labels (they had a really hard time doing one of her recent 2 disc "Best Ofs" due to that) - so maybe one of the music companies PP has their deal with own some of her 60s stuff?

I'm fine with the Destiny/Matthew stuff coming out slowly--well or at least at this speed--it's only been 6 episodes. Although I admit I kinda thought to myself "She's at the club *again??*" despite the fact I think even young single mothers should go out and have some fun :P. The club dynamic is interesting to me--it's true that when I go out clubbing I often bump into good friends but don't always hang out with them more than saying a few words, but it just seems kinda funny (and perhaps more realistic and less typical soap) that so far on OLTL they all seem to go alone or with another friend and then act surprised when they see someone else there.

Nora was Llanview's DA when the show ended on ABC

Ah, OK, I thought she was demoted again but wasn't sure. Could she be a radio DJ at the same time? :P (And why does the very idea make me flashback to Malone's obsession with having radio DJs on his OLTL--though I kinda liked it.)
