Maybe she could become a meth addict then? That would shoot her up even a few more levels!

As funny as David is and as amusing as Schulenberg is as Jo, I just am not in the mood for another story about David and Dorian having wacky relationship woes with a comedy backdrop. Ron Carlivati went to that well at least five times in the last six years. I'd rather he get back into more active scheming, either with Dorian or with Rama and company - the early stuff in May where he was basically Dorian's consiglieri was a lot more interesting for me.

I'm not sure how much she even knows about him and Kim/Aubrey, Alex, etc. I hope they don't abandon the Cutter thing when they move into whatever new story they have planned for Nat - I think their dynamic is really intriguing.

Love that description for David- the silliness amuses me always but yes that's the best use of his character. It seemed like they were getting that and then fell into the temptation to go for all laughs with Tuc- he's hilarious so I get it but hope they get back to balancing it.

With all the old serious legacy characters people are constantly mentioning, I think Kim is actually the past character who would most effortlessly & logically fit right back in now between where Clint is currently & to anchor Cutter more. Too bad Amanda is busy but honestly I could get behind a recast if they got a good actress.

I don't mind David getting up to his own things sans Dorian - like a caper with Rama or whatever - but it has to be more than this reality show thing, or that has to lead into something more substantial. The stuff with the other agent last week was really good and also made David reflect about himself, but I thought it would lead to something different.

In other news, Jesus Christ, Clint looks like the walking dead in the preview for next week on More. Really, really bad. Good job, makeup department.

I actually think Tonja Walker is equally likely to appear as Alex - she's very close to the show's current BTS crew. Whether or not she's in that "Tainted Dreams" thing, it wouldn't take much for her to pop up here as well.

I liked Jeffrey and Michelle snarking at each other, but you could've cut into both that stuff and the David stuff - his lines were hilarious ("I need neither food nor drink", his sense memory, etc.) but it wasn't necessary. I wanted a lot more of Cutter and Natalie and their date, which was neat but brief. They started having a conversation they really need to have. I'm not sure how much she even knows about him and Kim/Aubrey, Alex, etc. I hope they don't abandon the Cutter thing when they move into whatever new story they have planned for Nat - I think their dynamic is really intriguing.

Rama also needs more to do.

I'm not even going to comment on Viki and Natalie going on and on about Viki losing "everything" with that five mil. That is far from everything she has - and they semi-acknowledged that a couple weeks ago when this all went down, so they need to stop circling that idea. I just hope the Banner story continues. It's at least on pause at the moment, but I have faith they'll continue playing with the paper since both Jeffrey and Destiny work there. Jeff also needs more to do on the show outside of hopping all over his friends. You know we're in a strange new world of soaps when I find myself looking forward to more Paolo Seganti, Marnie Schulenberg and

Ron Raines.

As for Seganti, yeah, the Dani and Bandini stuff was nice. I just hope they don't move it along too fast.

I have no idea what the deal is with Dean Trayger. I thought he'd worked at Shelter in some way - wasn't he the one who introduced Cutter to their new security in Week 1? Now he's a real estate guy? What is his situation? He's an interesting actor but he is kind of a fourth-stringer to consider putting with Téa, character-wise. But I'm not against them playing with it for now if it gets FL more to do. I did enjoy Blair and Téa (and Dorian) drinking at the bar, though - I spotted a SN episode from 2011 a few days ago with the two of them doing just that back at Capricorn and was just thinking that I missed it.

Decent episode, but still kind of meandering. Next week looks fun.

Dean is a drug dealer that was hired by Cutter to work at Shelter. Cutter's boss Blair thinks Dean is just a "regular" there, but Cutter hasn't told her that he's drug dealer working for him at the club!

I think the good looking guy that Dorian/Tea/Blair were talking to is involved in the tattoo organization... just a feeling I have.

I don't remember a single scene ever saying "you are a drug dealer we hired to deal drugs at this club." Nor anything else you describe.

Dean is not one of the tattoo people, because we didn't see that mysterious tattoo on his arm when he was only wearing a t-shirt at the exercise class last week, and Dean told Cutter the tainted drugs that both Dani and Briana took didn't come from him, they came from Jason Murray, who's actually one of the tattoo people!

Cutter asked Dean if he sold any drugs to Dani on Shelter's opening night during the second episode of OLTL 2.o, and Natalie saw Dean give a stash of drugs to one of the club's DJs after Cutter lied to her about not having any illegal activities in the club, and before the blackout occurred at Shelter. Cutter also asked Dean if he knew of any tainted drugs that were sold on the streets that might've killed Briana after Bo told Cutter that Briana died fro an OD from taking tainted drugs. And at Briana's memorial service at Shelter, Cutter told his employees not to have any drugs around the club during the service, and Dean told Cutter at the service that the drugs Briana took didn't come from him.

Yes, thank you, Human Encyclopedia. What I mean is he was not hired to deal drugs.

Cutter was the one that hired Cutter to deal drugs at his club! He was the one that introduced Dean to Dusky at Shelter along with his other employees, and when Dean introduced himself to her, Cutter chimed in saying that "he'll get you anything you'll need", covering up the fact that he is a drug dealer! Dean was also the one that told Cutter that he was hiring Bruce from the Llanview Police Department to provide "security" at the club!

And probably drugs.

Between these Cutter facts & the AMC thread insanity, I would like Dean to give me those drugs

@Soaplovers: I already mentioned in one of my previous posts that Dean IS NOT one of the tattoo people!

Prove it. I'm going to go buy some cyanide while you do.
