Thanks Piper.

Sounds kinda dumb lol. :-)

He woke up like it was nothing. Just popped open his eyes

OMG really?!? Lol

Seeing CG and HK on the same episode makes it oh so obvious who needs more air time!

Kudo to the writers for having Marissa grow up in an orphanage - that just saved her some major pain from TGVN

I did like the Jack reveal to Victor.

I love GT, but the writers have completely forgotten who Phyllis is - she's not the type to sit by Jack's bed, get other people to do her sleuthing (Ashley, Nikki) or be 'alone in that big house without Jack.' WTH? Phyllis would be taking numbers left and right. Oh, and I'd love to see Phyllis bang Stitch - I think SC/GT could actually get some steam going.

Unlike Sage, there is something intriguing and genuine about Marissa. SP is impressing me so far. Oh, and she is far more beautiful than even this cleaned up version of Marissa.

Burgess (Meredith) Jenkins is an okay actor, but he's cast in the wrong role. Heinle continues to irritate me.

I appreciate the use of vets, but this regime is ignoring four that should be more prominent:

1. Obviously, Jill, as I know I repeatedly post, but the fact is, Jess is needed. Jill should have spent one scene with Marco and said..."Hold It right there!!! I don't know who you are, but you are definitely not Jack Abbott"

2. Devon..Yes Devon, he's been on for over ten years. He was finally getting story, and "boom" he's nowhere to be found..I realize Mischael Morgan has been on leave, but wouldn't it make more sense for Devon to continue playing story while Hillary was working at Jabot's NY office. They could have had skyped conversations to fill her episode quota, and it would not have been so awkward. Devon is back to a Wednesday Winters, and Bryton should be on more often.

3. Camryn Grimes. I know she was on and off as ghost Cassie, but she's been around since 1997. Mariah showed she had a lot to offer, but UpChuck has been too busy pushing Bummer and Scabby and ignoring Mariah. Her backstory may be jumbled, but Mariah was infused with a backbone and a killer sense of humor that are not even shown.

4. Finally, Tracey Bregman...wasted in the Michael is dying story. Either put Michael in the ground, or give him a new story, But Lauren has always been a force. She had chemistry in a couple of scenes with Scott Elrod, Lauren/Joe/Ashley would certainly be more interesting than what either lady has going right now.

The vets:

Victor has become every character Joe Mascolo has played since 1982.

Nikki has three mantras: a. "I need a drink"

b. "Victor, I need to be away from you"

c. "Victor would never do that"

Jack is relegated to "coma of the month club"

Michael is dying...he's whining...he's sorry

Neil quits. Neil lies and signs forged papers. Neil quits. Neil wants to save the day.

Nick..I'll never wear a suit again...I'm reporting to work for Newman...

Victoria has been lousy since the word "reliquary"

Billy flip flops

Avery never mind

Sharon/Dullan had mild chemistry from his arrival...Sharon Case continues to shine through all of her personality changes/bi-polar episodes, etc...

Paul shouts a lot, Christine ...meh

Newbies/Young crowd

Kevin is nearly 40..his creepy relationship with all of these young'uns reminds me of his pedophile days...

Summer/Kyle/Abby need an acting coach

Stiffy Stitch is boring and lacks chemistry with co-stars

Justin Hartley and Gina Tognoni are fantastic as recasts, even though Phyllis' story makes her look foolish.

MCE does her best with her material

+1 Well said, Slick

My thoughts exactly. That's been bothering me for a long time now. Phyllis is no shrinking violet, she should be out there looking to kick some ass. GT plays that very well.

I really didn't want to like Marissa, but she's growing on me. As long as they don't make her some weepy sap in the end. Sage CreepyFace is useless.

Peter Bergman is channeling Tony Geary acting at its worst.

So...Jack awoke from the coma, insisted on keeping it a secret, only to be bullied by Victor?!?!?

That's ridiculous.

Victor has absolutely no remorse for what he's done and turning it around on Jack?!?

Yup. Victor is apparently heartless now. Jack's balls have been permanently cutoff.

Ridiculous.

Ridiculous.

Yet yesterday he was acting all macho after being in a coma…LOL…this soap is the pits.

Don't wish Stitch on my Phyllis

Marisa and Noah

The rest meh.

Stitch is ok but he needs to be more recurring

I can't stand new Noah…never liked the recast just blah.

Summer wins back to back Emmys but she needs an acting coach? lol! Oh well, she can always fall back on her great looks!

I am so disappointed in Phyllis now. Being saddled with Jack has turned her into such a bore.

Or her built in clause thanks to Michael Muhney. She needs a coach.

Emmy winners:

I think i've said all I needed to say about my hatred of Victor on that survey, but today was totally an example....

for someone who has just as much power behind the scenes, but most interesting, does agree with his twitter fans when they say Victor just gets meaner and meaner each new year, you would assume Braeden would ask to play those scenes toned down, but I guess a check is still a check....
