One thing that was made crystal clear in those flashbacks though-- the sands of Father Time have not been kind to Cane.  He has really aged, and not in a good way.

How quickly you forget the grandpa man boobs we saw of Cane a while back. That was scary looking.

There is no excuse for him to let himself go. He is an actor and knows that shirtless scenes are part of the business and he needs to stay in shape.

Paul is literally the dumbest person in town.

Not to defend this hot mess storyline, but my grandma had dementia and in the nursing home she constantly threatened to stab the nurses there. That's how a lot of people are who have this horrible disease

Paul acts like he hasn't known these people for 30 years real time.

Whatever is wrong with Paul has transcended every writing team for 10 to 15 years.  He's been a crotchety old man for years.  He's a younger Victor Newman and we don't care about the character.  He's that crotchety and nasty.

I meant to add this in my earlier post about catching up.

 

Jeffrey Todd's return after Newman investigation should have brought him to ask Paul for a job. Since Mac is divorcing him, he has no business being at the Chancellor Estate.  The last time Paul was a reasonable character was when he was working with JT and the late Detective Maggie. I still don't get why he married the Bug when Katherine died.

Maybe we were supposed to get more scenes with Abby, but Melissa Ordway had her baby early...the amount of flashbacks was extreme. 

[Faulkner]

That sounds plausible. 

 

I skipped today because I was spoiled about the excessive Lane obnoxiousness.

Remember the days when a legacy couple got a fabulous, lengthy montage full of flashbacks? Set to music, perhaps the couple's theme song?

 

Also, and totally random, where's Noah??

[Soapsuds]

He was on the other day. I don't even know why they bother. Noah and Nick are nonexistent at this point.

I've been fast forwarding so much, I must've missed him. Yikes. 

 

And that's not to say that everything is garbage; it's not. The Abbott storyline keeps me tuning in. But the Cane and Lily hour has made some days difficult to watch, much less care.

[Soapsuds]

He had scenes with horrible actress character Tessa at Crimson Lights. Later, Mariah shows up and Noah asks why she is ignoring Tessa.

Up until the past couple of days,I think these past couple weeks have been the strongest since MAB was in her early honeymoon phase. Granted, MAB so offended me that I pretty much stopped regularly watching between 2010 and 2016, so take that with a grain of salt.
