While not one of my favorite characters, Felix can be tolerable when used with the right characters. His friendship with Carly makes for great scenes. With Lucy, I like them, too. Send Sabrina away and utilize him as a B or C level character like an Amy Vining. Using him as a supporting character works for him. Side-eyeing [sanctimonious-ass] Robin is uncalled for, as she did not purposely hurt his friend. These scenes make him look like a jackass. He needs to evolve and grow up a little bit before I would pir him with anyone.

Lucas hasn't even gotten here yet, so before he gets thrown into anything, Cartini need to [and I know how hard this will be] watch the writing for Hogestyn's Lucas when Tony died and go from there. The character was well conceived, and hopefully won't be ruined. but we know what will happen there as Carnes will probably enter the scene on the phone with Bobbi while in bed with three other guys in tight black boxers!

And I think JZ looks good right now. But her hair should be shorter.

I really enjoy Bobbie envolvement. She just fits right in. Lets hope Jackie is not done taping. She taped quite a bit for January, i guess we will see her for 5 more episodes this month. :)))

LMAO! Julian's caution sure did last only TWO episodes. As soon as the plot called for it, Mr. Big Boss Mobster answers the door in a way that allows him to be easily overpowered/killed. Nice.

Is there a reason why Carly can’t just remove the gag? Wait, don’t answer that. And Heather pulls out that damned knife again and raises it as if to kill Carly. Bitch, who you kidding?

WHAT?!! Franco has a FRAMED picture of him and Carly naked in bed? The [!@#$%^&*]?

I love how Carlos uses an accent for different words (and then speaks the occasional Spanish) but, when he pronounced Puerto Rico, he said it like an American. HA! You’d think all those r’s in there would be a field day for him. BUT… I am not going to lie… when he told Sabrina he loved her so much he was willing to raise her baby as his own, it got me. It got me.

Why did they throw away Robin finding out about Sabrina's pregnancy? That should have been a whole cliffhanger and subsequent episode of reaction by itself. But, no, instead Patrick tells her how great Sabrina is for sacrificing herself. How one-sided can the writing be?

Carlos's devotion to that saccharine princess did touch me a bit, I'll admit. The actor is so over the top - we're talking the knob being stuck on "Gospel Play" - but he sells it. He's consistently entertaining, whether he is good, bad or ridiculous.

The Franco/Carly sex selfie - framed in the room - is so disgusting and such a bizarre, insane touch that I can't imagine who thought of it. Are they trying to sabotage the pairing?

    • Same. And looking sooooo good. 
    • Yeah this episode was actually really good. I loved SINN together against Looney
    • I can forgive them not writing a lot for Quint/Nola at Van and Billy's first wedding, given that Lisa was hugely pregnant and the other story going on was Tony's medical crisis. But yeah---Nola and Quint barely even speak to Van for that last year-plus. Not even after little Billy's born (although Nola and Van do have a nice scene, which is one of the few that they're just nice to each other) or the fallout of Van's addiction, and they flippin' leave when Billy's in a coma or right after being in one)  Even Henry goes to story Siberia. They gave them a big, new set and the promise of some Billy/Van/Nola/Quint family squabblin'--and NADA.  How COOL would it have been to see Nola side with Van and put Reva in her place? But no...NOLAROBICS. RME. Reva really needed someone outside of Josh to tell her like it was. Instead, Billy's head cheerleader. And Jon's calling him "uncle Billy", which just about made me gag.
    • 5-12   Well, as much as i've been enjoying the highs of BTG, I guess I should try to play catch up on my other soaps...lol.   I actually liked this episode. But I guess it could be because I felt there was a lot going on. Bill and Liam's talk. Luna attempting them inroads with Finn. Steffy comforting Hope over Liam. Sheila thanking Bill for helping Luna. Even a decent cliffhanger with Steffy walking in on Luna and Finn.   I know I said it before, but I don't care for the Liam storyline, but the acting has been good.   
    • I enjoyed Santa Barbara from the beginning. Mainly because it was so fresh and different than the P&G soaps I was used to watching.  But there is no denying that it did not hit its stride until 1985. The writing, casting and production all finally came together. Unfortunately backstage drama then slowly destroyed the show and for me from 1988 onward it was a completely different show than the one I was a fan of. 
    • Oh, really? That explains why the reveal episodes...the majority of which Zimmerman did the breakdowns for...hit perfectly. Cool! I really loved that. Background music and all.     
    • I guess I should appreciate Clifton's devotion to his craft, but this comes off as so pretentious. Nothing about Liam's story (or B&B, for that matter) is high art.
    • To me the product placement normalizes these folks. Your bound to see household products around no matter how immaculate someone's house may be.  I was just thinking about her as Yvonne on AMC. Yeah, would love to see her. 
    • There's also the soap opera conundrum: once characters get everything they want, they tend to stagnate. Nola got everything she wanted. One of the things that was really interesting about her was that tremendous need for things out of her grasp. Once that was resolved, there wasn't much left for her to play. Maybe Long could have found something to replace that, but since she wasn't created by Long, she probably preferred to focus on the needy character she created: Reva. They were still significant stockholders. They could have punched back. Vanessa forced to team with the brother she resents. I can see it working.
