I loved Vail Bloom and Chris Engen

I don't know why anyone got up in arms over Adam and Rafe. Adam was a manipulator and that showed what he would do. I dunno, it never bothered me much. I saw it for what it was. I know some fantasized he was but I didn't expect them to ever make him so. It's no different than a man seducing a woman to get what he wants. Sure it probably sends the wrong message at the end of the day but eh ... Muhney's Adam was far more deplorable and it didn't help the actor was a skeeze and always looked slimy. Sorry to his stans but it's true.

I agree. My experience with obsessive character stans would be in regards to Nick, Sharon, Adam, and Victor (especially Adam). You say a negative comment about Adam, and it's lights out. lol. Not necessarily talking about this board but this seems to be the characters I see the most fights about. It's difficult having a conversation sometimes when it comes to these characters. 

 

 

 

Yes, they were a hot couple. I miss Rafe. I really liked him. And that plot twist with Adam sleeping with Rafe was a shocker in a good way. They dropped the ball with it once they phased Rafe out. Sad.

I liked Rafe too. The actor went on to do some things. Wasn't he in Pretty Little Liars or some show on ABC Family/Freeform? He's been around. I thought they completely wasted him after that. Shame.

 

So bad. You went from a maybe late 20-something/early 30-something Adam to a middle aged creep. And the stories they gave him were atrocious, doing the character no favors.

 

Hartley was a good in-between. I applaud Sally for resting the character and not really seeing the need to rush him back onto the canvas. I hope it doesn't have to do with Hartley being unavailable because I do think he's recastable at some point. Not right away and the show doesn't need him at the moment.

 

As for today, Nick was completely over the top blaming Sharon for being the one to upset Faith. Nick was the one who wanted to barge over there and drag Faith away, all worried about Sharon "brainwashing" her. I mean, Nick sounds like a moron for even thinking that. He can hate Sharon for keeping Oregano's kid away from him, that's fine, but he sounded ridiculous today. Sharon is being written as sane and logical. I know that's hard to fathom for the Sharon haters because she was written as a loon for so long but this is the Sharon I remember, mostly. And all stripper drunkard Nikki was doing was enabling her overgrown fratboy of a son. The writing didn't really do Nick any favors today. And that's the last I'm saying on that.

The Adam thing got crazy, especially when all of that stuff went down about MM. I lost a lot of respect for some of my twitter "friends" over that situation. I will never understand how some middle aged adults (who are old enough to know better) behaved online when all of that came out.

Yeah the MM stans were the worst. 

 

About the whole Sharon/Nick stuff. Does anyone remember a couple weeks ago when Nick came into Crimson lights with Christian and demanded that Sharon leave? Even though she was there first and her husband owns the place.. 

 

Obviously I blame that more on the sloppy writing because in any case it should have been Nick who left, but still that didn't do his character any favours. He looked like a total ass who thinks he can just boss people around anytime, any place.

The one positive thing I'll say is MM had chemistry with both Chelsea and Sharon, but the actor was too full of himself and you could tell he thought he was the sh*t. And after what went down backstage, he better not be setting foot on the Y&R set again. That would be disgusting and a shitstorm will start.

      Which is still a form of manipulation. Granted it won't work because Ted isn't interested in Leslie at all no matter how much she tries to make him look like a horrible person. When you consider the situation with Hayley it does make sense why Anita would take that approach.

      Another good one and great episode to start off the week. Confrontations, character moments, movement, and an awful lot of bubbles on display. lol.    I've found myself liking Sara Bibel breakdowns. And this episode might be why. I sense movement of plot going on. And Jazmen being on script duty has already become a highlight for me. So this episode dealing with more fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal was another good one. And even got a solid B plot moving in the Vanessa/Doug/Joey storyline...which I just said yesterday...has been the only one of the B plots...that has real build to it so far.    You are not a real soap pariah until you get dragged and a community treats you as such. So basically another old school soap vibe that Eva is giving me. Watching her trying to find her footing only to be read by just about everyone she has encountered has been great. It makes her so rootable. And she's played by an excellent actress. Cuz that quivering lip at the end with her and Anita...ooooo some of you all seem heated for Anita making poor girl cry even though it's her fault. That's great acting. Not to mention writing.    I also love that the side character got their point of view. I loved Mona moving about town trying to get info to avenge Nicole in a way. And she dragged Eva. She read Silk Press Sheila. And that 'enjoy the burn' was well-said. And did I see a spark with Mona and Randy? Hmmm. I don't mind.

          I also didn't mind that Martin/Kat scene. I enjoy their sibling relationship so far. And I feel like the right thing to do to keep them close as they support their mother. It even made sense that Martin would soften to the idea of Eva as part of the family given their brief scene at the start of this storyline. Meanwhile, NO from Kat. lol. And she's already questioning the DNA test...OF COURSE SHE IS. But again...that avail...her and Eva being the SAME age. Twins. I just felt the writers are really foreshadowing that heavy. Meanwhile, the SilkPress saga is far from over.   I love the parade of Ted Visitors. LMAO!!! I thought Dani vs Ted was pretty good. But I about fell out when Anita walked up in there like old school Sonny Corinthos. And I hollered with Anita wiping the floor with Ted with Dani in the background like Jason Morgan. Watch your step, Theodore. Anita was giving Boss Bitca and I was living.    That said...I didn't like Anita making poor Eva cry. But as was said above...the stuff with Hayley is still too fresh on the Duprees' mind. So sadly understandable, Anita set down the law.    Uh oh. Dani saw Vanessa with Joey. Granted they are not the BFFs, but I do hope that that means we are getting a Dani/Vanessa scene. And I loved that we got another step in the B storyline. Doug fighting (and failing) in his addiction. Meanwhile, Vanessa resisted hers. And Joey did not look happy.    And saying the best for last. I LOVE Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila. Ooooo Nicole got under her skin good. And I loved it. I also hollered at Silk Press couldn't even be fake nice for 5 whole minutes to her. DD did soooooooo good. The body language. The looks. The inflections on just the right words. I LOOOVVVE that confrontation and looking forward to more since she clearly verbally cracked SilkPress's face. Meanwhile, I was just as taken aback at Ted showing up at Silk Press Sheila's place. I also thought it was another fantasy. Nope. And then SilkPress put the moves on him and went just a little more cray cray in the coda.    Just such a great episode.

      Nope still in development. ABC/Disney are having their upfronts today though, so there's a very slight hope we might get an update.

      I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

      I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.
