I remember how they did the Samatha-Evans-kidnaps-Marlena-and-takes-over-her-life-in-Salem story way back in 1977. It was widely panned, poorly written (by Ann Marcus, another fan of camp) and not acted convincingly. Are we now to have another lookalike kidnapping Marlena (who's been abducted 7,987,362 times) and trying to take over her life? Personally, as someone who thinks ludicrous low-brow camp helped kill the soap opera genre in the first place, I say...no thanks. I'd rather watch reruns from 1976, LOL.

Just finished watching Friday's episode. I liked the Roman/Marlena/John/Kate mix with Andre coming in at the end. Yes, the story is over the top but if it allows these five vets to mix it up then I'm okay with it. 

I find Abby and Andre's friendship interesting. I hope Ron keeps that going. It kind of goes against what I would normally expect yet it works. 

Do Eric and Chloe have a romantic past? I found their scenes interesting. I haven't watched most of Chloe's time with the show so she doesn't annoy me like she seems to others.

Considering the alternative is Hope/Rafe, I wish it were. 

 

I like that Lucas is getting more to do. I'm hoping he has a fling with Ann.  I'm hoping Eve comes back and makes a play for Justin.  Another thing Ron has done is make Claire immediately likable again.  She was written as so shrill for awhile there, which is why the audience seemed to turn on her. I hope it's not too late.

One of the things I like about Bonnie and Hattie is they are just enjoying themselves and reveling in the wealth.  I guess I just like seeing people having simple fun once in awhile. If I found myself in prison for a few years and then ended up with millions of dollars at my disposal, I'd be hitting the mini bar too.

 

I also like that the show has sidestepped having these characters rape their counterparts sexual partners. At least so far and I hope it stays that way.

I don't even count any of Andre's past doings before 2015. It's so convoluted, at this point, the person before was DeAndre or Phony, and Tony will pop up alive soon and it'll be revealed they were quadruplets whose mother also birthed Susan, Mary-Moira, Thomas & Penelope.

 

Side note: Catching up on the past few weeks... I wonder why Morgan Fairchild shifts herself around like she's 400 lbs? Whether she's walking or just dramatically turning, you'd think she was hauling around sacks of potatoes under her blouses.

Same here. I like her overall.  They gave her some terrible material with keeping Nicole's baby from her, but if she's sticking around I'm hopeful she'll go in a better direction. As for Nicole, I'm ready for that character to take a nice long break. 

 

Anyway, I have no idea how Ron's run is going to pan out. All I know is that before I got to his material I had 15 episodes waiting on my DVR. Now I have one.  Watching doesn't feel like an annoying chore I keep putting off.

      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.
