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).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicate  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ‘unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tells  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that Steve  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
