I'm curious to see where they're headed with Oliver and Ally, of course she'll get into modelling it's just weird that they've watered Ally's character down so much - she was bipolar, she could get aggressive and then she could not stand Taylor's sight... All of that characterization has been wiped off in a matter of a few weeks. That's a shame, but we'll see :)

Its a shame they got rid of Aly's edge. They could have had so much more story with her hate of Taylor and Thorne and Taylor's relationship but they wrapped it up in a week.

However I'm loving Aly and Oliver more than any other couple on soaps. I'm just hoping Brad doesn't get bored of them anytime soon. Their a nice contrast to the other couples on the show, who basically are the same.

I hope so!

Funniest. Sh*t. Ever.

This was soooo corny. On any other show I would have hated it. But Spectral Darla was behaving exactly like the real Darla did. And to have her in gear - priceless.

The whole Medieval stuff has been suuuuper corny but I loved it as it woked for the characters feautured in this mini arc. Oliver and Aly are adorable. Has been AGES since I liked a couple this much.

Not a big fan of either "Ratie" and "Brill" but the whole chopper incident aka "he fell into the Gulf" is a fantastic old-school storyline. I love it that Bill is having zero regrets by now and is intent on saving his own a$$. I'm curious as to how much longer they will be able to get mileage out of the Abu Dhabi remote. It's just two more weeks until Paris and/or Monte Carlo, I think...

Thanks for the info on John Forester; I either couldn't recall that history (or didn't know it). IA about Justin he's not a bad guy perse' just Bill' right hand so? This is the first thing I can recall that he' done something this shady. He does go MIA for large periods of time. Had no idea of his relation to Olivia/Dru.

As for Marcus, he didn't have much after marrying Daizy before then he had the storyline with Amber and his daughter Rose...then they disappeared...I saw a similarity in Daizy/Thomas storyline and Rick/Maya' I didn't expect much from these interracial storylines.

I'm still not that jazzed with Aly and I'm a huge fan of Thorn and Darla... Being their daughter and Oliver just makes her tolerable for me if it gets him some air then she serves a purpose. For some reason I can't explain, I've always liked Oliver from his very beginning when he was stuck in Hope Hell; IA too about the medieval sequences; corny, but sometimes corny works.

Also like Wyatt (who I give a rat' tutu about) and Liam brotherhood although laid on thick; which makes me too think something will be coming up.

Poor Maya got thrown under the bus; I just didn't get where this Rick thing sprung up from left field esp with her being engaged there was no build up to "being a Forester" ... I get characters can flip into story at the spur of the moment without a grand build up into it...but I do get her motivation for trying to sabotage Oliver after he wanted to ace her out... she needs a storyline.

Mya popped up from out of nowhere because BB was trying to meet their every 5 year black quota. This is the story they should have told for Mya last year when all this happened. If they wanted to revisit it, there should have been more build up - or A build up. It's ridiculous how Kim can be on 21 out of 21 eppies, but they drive thru everything else. Absolutely ridiculous!

Marcus' exit? Black people don't get exits on Daytime. Keep them off screen long enough and one day when we learn that they are officially gone, we ask? That person was still on the show??? Come on guys, you know how this goes.

The guy who plays Marcus (Texas Battle) is acting on some television show that films in South Africa for a few months out of the year. (It is something that seems to be syndicated worldwide).

I see Pam/Oliver/Aly/Charlie as being written Spectra-like.

Oliver and Aly's story seems to be over now. Bell is bored and we won't see them much for the rest of the year. Too bad, they are by far the most exciting couple on this show.

Justin is interesting to me. He needs to be more prominent. I thought he was supposed to have scenes with Donna, who would be trying to seduce him to get the truth out of him. Were those scenes cut?

I'm not that into writers injecting humor in characters that are supposed to be sexy (read: Deacon) and situations that are supposed to be dramatic. Watching this week's promo I'm just worried that's the route they want to take.

That being said, when are Katie & Deacon going to do it?

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
