I dislike Victoria, but the ice queen attitude makes sense given who her father is. I wish the show would truly address the double standard of Victoria being called cold, yet Victor being tolerated. 

 

I don't want to go on a rant, but a lot of soaps have a steady history of characters tolerating truly vile behavior from a male character ((Victor has done downright evil things)) while criticizing strong and ambitious women ((Victoria, Hilary, Jill back in the day). Not that those women don't deserve to be criticized at times, but are we really going to believe they are so god awful when someone like Victor is not only tolerated, but called a victim whenever karma hits him?

HOLY [!@#$%^&*]!

 

I hate that they have Sharon falling for Nick. Morrow and Case will always have excellent chemistry but why can't they just stay friends.

 

The Dina scenes were so sad. Poor Ashley sitting there while Dina remembers a childhood memory but literally has no recollection of her as an adult sitting right there with her. I like that they've removed the silliness from the story but it suuuucks. I want Dina around for years and she's just getting worse and worse.

 

The JT/Victoria story was good today. I don't know if I believe JT's apologies. He's been a huge douche since he returned and I just can't see this ending up being an isolated incident at this point. And that proposal just seemed so manipulative.

I thought Victoria's/JT's scenes were well written too.  I thought those scenes were well written and that both Thad and Amelia did a good job in those scenes. I thought they came across as very realistic .I bought them as a couple in an unhealthy relationship that has turned abusive, even though Victoria doesn't fully realize that yet.

 

The writers having her slap JT helped clouded her perspective of the situation and caused her to blame herself more than she should for what happened. It was like she was equating her behavior with JT's, even though JT has been worse and will end up being worse. And her also trying to use the idea of "honesty" to make their relationship seem better than what it is. She's acting like the way JT is treating her is mostly him being honest, when it is really controlling and abusive behavior.

 

I also wonder in what other ways he might harm her physically. I wonder if he will flat out hit her or do other things like push her, or cause her to fall down somehow and injure herself without striking her. If he does the latter things, I could see him trying to spin those things as not being abuse. Maybe he will do something to her and try and paint it as an accident or something.

      5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.

      The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.

      So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???

      Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)

      Oooooo I like these. I like we are on the same page about Little Brownie Man. And I hope to remember this at the end of June to see how much of it came to pass. I definitely feel that the Eva vs Kat story is about to reaaaally get going.    As for the B/C stories, it's funny you mentioned the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story first. Because out of all of those, it is the only one that has enough structure and build to it that it could keep going as a B story that could eventually climax. I think the only POV we don't have in it is Joey's at this point because Month 2 put in the work to give us Doug's and Vanessa's and they are now circling each other and their relationship. And we still need to know Joey's endgame.   Why we gotta pick on Jacob and Naomi? We need that goody good couple. lol. They talked about how they got together. Mind you, very briefly. But we do need to know a little bit more about both. Something I was hoping we were getting by having them in their own stories....him with the crooked cop, her with the lawsuit...but it didn't turn out as hoped. Hopefully, that won't be the case with June though.   Yeah, I want to see more of THAT Ashley.  I finally had to break down and explain to my manager why I keep laughing every time I see the bottle of Febreze at work. The product placement definitely be working.

      That is a specific example where I would agree with those fans so I would be critical of the execs doing so. I frankly think that "caring" in this regard is not conducive to dialog. Basically you point out its very subjective nature. What is caring to one person might be callous disregard to another. I suggest it is a trap & we fell in it!

      Does anyone know of a place where I could watch older episodes of RC??? I really would love to watch more of this show, and I would decide if I would join the save River city campaign, I HATE when soaps are killed, but sometimes you should let them go too
