Amen. Nina's limited appearances was the best part of the week.

Loved the campy storyline. Reminded me of the 80s stories. At the height of L&L, they were on M-W-F and the b and c storylines would be on T-TH. Going by tat, once a week for Nina is more than enough[sorry MS, much as I like u, your character is just unwatchable]. I'd rather see Who killed Nina than Who killed Ava.

Sigh-less should be the killer, and Kaka should be accidentally killed in the crossfire. Wouldn't be against Morgan-Rosalie-Michael-Sabrina triangle as a C-story.

Also, would like to see Tracey in an adult story that doesn't involve Luke or Fluke. Maybe a new romance with a new chief of staff at the hospital, after Obrecht is released from her position.

I wasn't totally against the Anna-Leisl scenes, Obrecht insulting Anna, arguing over the man they both love, Nathan. Anna really needs a one night stand w/ Detective Woodcock-Cassadine before he is married off to Maxie and more baby rabies.

As always Kristina Wagner was beautiful this week, Jack's loss.

I admire MW's ability to commit to whatever she is being asked to play. She might go OTT sometimes, but she never, ever phones it in.

Nevertheless, as great as she is, I think her character is a real dead end (pardon the pun).

I don't know, but what I'm really sure about is that Sonny should not have another child and it doesn't make a ton of sense to give Morgan one either, right now. If Ava lives than fine, but if she goes, the baby needs to go too. However, it would not shock me if Ava dies and Morgan is the father. Then Kiki would help raise the baby, and it would kind of be a nod to Starr. I can see Ron going there.

I have one of the scenarios planned out: Michael has a romantic evening planned for Kiki, but she is weary after recieving a chilling memento from the Strangler (one of Sabrina's items that she had when she was killed), when the time comes Michael goes and texts her to go to the Metro Court, he has rented a room, unbeknownst to him the Strangler is hiding in the room, when Michael enters and gets the food all prepared he goes to grab something when his back is turned the Strangler knocks out Michael and drags him to the bathroom, Kiki goes into the room and she sees everything laid out, she receives a text saying that "a surprise is waiting". The Strangler sneaks up on her and wraps his/her hands on Kiki's shoulders, she thinks it's Michael, until the Strangler's hands are wrapped around her neck. She tries to fight back but it turns out the wine on the table she took a sip of was drugged, she takes her last breath professing her love for Michael

Can we stop telling each other what we can and cannot post? When did criticism become something posters got called out on and told to 'stop watching and go do something else'? Come on, we're better than that. I'm not telling anyone who reasonably defends the show to basically shut up and not post because I don't want to read it. A message board is for back and forth debate. The good, the bad and the ugly.

This.

And it makes me sad because I like MW and what she can do. Ava, like every other character, got shoved down viewers throats and I was pretty sick of seeing her (like Nina and others now). Ron just has no clue about balance.

I also sort of saw the writing on the wall, literally, and when they keep adding 'high profile' (excuse me while I laugh) "stars" like Stafford and Miller ... someone has to go. I also think/hope Julian is done but Ava would probably go before him, even though it should be the opposite.

Think of the money they could use elsewhere if they cut pointless characters like Franco, Silas, Sabrina, Kaka, Felix ... yeah they are cheap but still, money is money.

Yeah. I get that and agree with you. But there's a difference between someone reasonably discussing their love for the show and someone trolling for a reaction with the same type of post day in and day out, week in and week out, month in and month out (seriously it's old). Who?

;)

I miss Kevin and Jon Lindstrom too. He's aged very very well. IMO he's always been underappreciated.

Is he taping?

This.

It wasn't the worst week of the show, for numerous reasons, but you summed up the problems.

And see folks, praise is given when praise is deserved.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
