The low episode guarantees (and lack of money to up them) makes flow on this show terrible, besides the obviously high count Flynn and Miller have. No followup on Tripp or Hattie dragging Mar away. (Obviously we get some later in the week, but still ...)

Watching today for first time in over a week. Can't say I'm on the edge of my seat but the show has definitely improved. The pacing is so much better. Things are actually happening. 

I'm enjoying the little shade from the triangles: Justin/Adrienne/Lucas, Gaby/JJ/Lani, and even Marlena/John/Kate. I hope these kinds of scenes keep up.

The last two episodes have been good. I'm enjoying the family connections that are being played. There are meaningful conversations, subtext, history is brought up.

 

I LOVE that they had Lucas there for Jennifer today. I'm so glad someone remembered they are related. Those were very nice scenes between them. Loved Jennifer breaking down.

 

Chad and Andre was nice too, although I hate he's Andre, Thaao's basically playing Tony.

 

Kate's hatred of Abby is ridiculous to me. Add some context to it. I know she favors Gabi but she looked awful Tuesday imo.

 

Hattie cracks me up. It's nice to have some comedy, as ludicrous as the doppleganger thing is. And I loved the cliffhanger of Mar in the straight jacket and John leaving her a message.

 

I even enjoyed FauxRo and Eric and Maggie wasn't as cold talking to Nicole. It's nice to see them used as supporting talk-tos. It works.

 

I think the flow sucks though. They should have had John, Marlena, Hattie/Marlena follow up on Tuesday and Eric/Brady/Nicole on today instead. But whatever. It just hurts the flow a bit IMO.

Finally started watching this show again with yesterday's episode. What the hell happened to Morgan Fairchild's face?!

HD is not helping a lot of these folks. But hey, at least the Hernandii are being downgraded.

 

I haven't started Season 2 of Queen Sugar - did they dump GV from it? He was good.

I wish they'd make Paul the unrepentant flirt/manwhore he was when he first arrived in Salem. It was refreshing to see a gay man (of color, no less) on one of these shows with an unapologetic sexual appetite, and CS played that so well. Dude is hot and has so much charisma. Too bad they made him into a generic policeman and lapdog for Sonny.

    • Poor Philip. I appreciate how seriously his and Xander’s scenes were taken though. It felt like real drama and not like a big joke. You could actually feel Xander’s pain and anger. It adds another dynamic to the Kiriakis family storylines and I’m looking forward to the effects that this is going to have across the canvas. I can see them weaving Kate and Roman into this storyline as well. And it would be really nice if this somehow helped cause conflict for Stephanie/Alex too, especially because of what Alex did today. With any luck, Stephanie will be furious about it.  And I’m glad that Sarah has Maggie to confide in about her secret. I also liked seeing Steve and Shawn (and their matching jackets

      ) continue to be on the case. Kevin, revealing everything to them is another interesting turn in this storyline. Plus, it seems the writing has improved for Shawn as well. 
    • TBF, I don't think we've seen her interact enough with the "have-nots" to know if she is or isn't. It's possible, but I don't think you can say that from her interactions with Eva and Silkpress.
    • You're right - though I did confuse his name with an actual actor who was on Dynasty.

    • "Might" is not "is". And I was talking about the specific case about her attitude to Eva. 
    • But she can still be a priveliged elitist. She might have the same attitude to anyone from 'the wrong side of the tracks' whether they had an agenda or not. Nicole seems to be an outlier in her family.Her parents, kids and sister seem to think themselves above reproach.
    • Damian's clothes have definitely been a specific look -kinda reads 70's pimp to me . I guess it's a trend?? but it seems more suited to Holden. JR is 51  and I guess Damian is supposed to be a little younger but it looks a little odd on him in my book. But at least they're trying. The men's clothing has been bland/generic for years-either suits or basic casual stuff interchangeable  b/w them.
