LOL YRBB. Billy is Jack's brother.

I can't help it. I love all the possibilities for a love potion. I think Abby is going to use it to get Billy and Vic in the sack, and probably Stitch and Ashley. One of my favorite movies was Love Potion #9.

Don't hate me.

Immensley is a great word for it. I can't BELIEVE I'm rooting for Phyllis and thinking unkind thoughts about Sharon and her shenanigans. That has never happened before but I just love nuPhyllis. Today she was talking about how Summer had the rug pulled out from under her when she learned Nick wan't her father and that that was probably the reason she married Austin, a felon. That sounded like a signal that Phyllis is going to be very perturbed when she finds out Sharon switched the DNA results. Can't wait.

Herpes?

And don't ever stop. Love Nikki when she's drinking but I hope she not driving around town. OTOH maybe she could rear end someone interesting.

If Joe and Dylan are going to be in the same scene, face to face, Dylan needs to stand on a box. The height disparity today was so distracting! Dyan was gazing up at Joe like he was waiting for Joe to scoop him up and give him a kiss.

Victoria the romantic victim heroine. Gag me.

What crap with Stitch! Just so that they can get a cliffhanger and an episode or two out of it, they drag Jeff out of the crypt. Spare me. I was genuinely scared for Kevin when Stitch went up to his face. He wouldn't stand a chance.

I can't help it -- I love Mariah. Making her so different than Cassie was a wise choice. Still doesn't justify all the crap that got her to be there.

I was thinking how utterly useless the payoff to the Ian Ward story was. It was on for 26 years and all they could do was a quick arrest and a few lines from Nikki? Pfff. [!@#$%^&*] off.

How I loathe off-screen convos. "Summer told me that thing you did with the papers" was Nick's way of explaining how he knew things he shouldn't. Also, apparently Sharon told Mariah about what happened with Isadora? Ugh. The convos/interactions between characters used to be the show's bread and butter. But maybe it's for the best that they skip a lot of them. It helps with the pacing and the show would have been even more boring if they did all of it (if that's at all possible).

YAAAS at Phyllis showing up at Sharon's. NO at Nick doing his fratboy shtick and convincing Sharon to marry him on Halloween, although it's probably not going to happen anyway.

Austin: Waah wah WAH.

Summer: Wah wah WAH WAH.

Both: Waaaaaah.

STFU, bitches.

LOL I think I meant great grandfather. Or at the very least, a brother born very closely to Jack lol

lol, Stahp.

It's not that I enjoy that all Nikki has been reduced to is being a drunken ho and being Victor's whipping post. I think it's pathetic and unimaginative. BUT the show is so bad, it sorta kinda makes it look better than it really is.

I'm sure the new lab will be where Victoria spies on Stitch and Ashley getting comfy. I just can't with Victoria anymore and her poor me attitude…she needs to get over herself…bitch aint all that.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, that seems of touch in 2025. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
