Well not Sweeney's hair or makeup.  She has had  dirty hair, face, and clothes this entire run so fair.  Her hair is currently pulled back in a messy bun with a black rubber band Jen gave her (probably Missy Reeves own) lol, so they are saving cash on that.

The show continues to be good and I am looking forward to seeing a lot of the upcoming storylines play out.

 

I enjoyed today's episode. I like how Will is letting people know that his memory is coming back. So far he's doing it one person at a time. I liked how he called Eric "Uncle Eric" and how Eric was happy about that and realized something had changed with Will. I enjoyed them spending some time together talking. I also like Will and Sonny being kind to Susan and looking out for her well-being.  CM is doing a good job right now as Will and I am enjoying FS/Sonny as well. 

 

The only thing I don't really care for in these past few episodes is Belle being OTT  mean and nasty in regards to Sami. Don't like how Belle is putting the shooting soley at Sami's feet considering the circumstances and how she's not really blaming Kristen as much as she should. Especially since Kristen drugged Sami and (albeit very shortly and temporarily) kidnapped Claire in front of Belle. I can understand she's upset about Marlena being shot, but I think she's being too harsh with Sami. Looking at upcoming spoilers, I believe that Belle's behavior may continue and play into an upcoming storyline involving Marlena and her family.

The scenes between Sonny and his mother (Adrienne) when he talks about his relationship with Will make me cringe. They’re creepy and skeevy.

 

Adrienne is so over-the-frickin-top about how much she loves Sonny and Will together that it’s ridiculous. She practically licks her lips at the thought of them being together, while Sonny has that goofy smile plastered on his face. God, Freddie is awful.

 

The Kristen scenes with Brady didn’t work for me. I know we’re all giving S Haiduk rave reviews for her recast, and although I think she’s been a great find as Susan, her Kristen reall6 has me missing Eileen Davidson.

 

i just don’t see an6 chemistry between this Kristen and Brady. None.

That's pretty much what I said but you went into more detail. Couldn't agree more. Still behind watching the wedding scenes.....its so way over the top but good....too bad not all of Salem is there to witness it....

 

Will and Sonny.....Sonny is one selfish SOB....once again it's all about him and what he wants. Sonny wanting Will to tell him how much he loves him....barf.....I actually ff the wedding scenes that never happened with Chandler's Will.......Will's relationship with Sonny is toxic......I don't see the chemistry anymore that Sonny and Will use to have. They are going to pair them again for the small fan base they still have left instead of making Will more like Sami and have him explore a new relationship with someone else since Paul is a goner. 

 

Btw....Sonny's double chin is showing up....time for him to hit that gym........

the production on this show is so bad it looks like they moved the crew here to St. Louis and filmed at my apt. complex.  "well, wit the next Incredible Hulk film's budget being slashed, we can't do the Hulk out, so we'll just have Mark Ruffalo stick a picture in front of his face, spray paint him green in jeans that are a size too small and have him make grunting and roaring sounds as he Hulk smash crap....."

Belle, enjoyed her in the beginning. now she is grating on my nerves. no blame to Eric, no consideration that =Sami had been kidnapped and drugged......it's Sami caring about Sami. 

Will/Paul/Sonny. dogs sleeping is more exciting than this SL. 

the cast seems to be trying but the writing IMPO needs ALOT of work. time for Sheri to take over or just outright cancel the show.

I actually like Stacy's take on both Kristen and Susan.  Her version of Susan seems more like a character and less like a caricature (I always viewed Eileen playing Susan as just playing the character for fun without any sort of depth), while her version of Kristen is cold, mean, and scary.

I love her Susan. Stacy's added depth to me. I can't put my finger on it but she's totally won me over as Susan and I'd love her to keep playing it (not on contract; Susan is exhausting but I'd love Stacy to be Susan and Eileen to be Kristen)

 

I'm still not sure how I feel about her as Kristen. Eileen will always be Kristen to me. But Stacy is doing a great job! I'm so torn on this one. I'm not saying she's bad; just preference. But they made an excellent choice in Stacy. Overall, I'm satisified

I kind of felt the same on OLTL and GH (especially GH) when Ron wrote. Everyone seemed just a little bit worse .... it's odd.

 

They're making up for no energy by suddenly chewing scenery and being hysterical. Where's the middle ground? lol

      I'm anticipating most of the cast at the Nice location for a few weeks a la the Tuscan villa for Victoria and Ashland's wedding. I don't know why they bother. I'd rather see the money going into more regular home/office sets. This party has been a bust. No secrets revealed, break ups  etc. Ugly decorations and I'm going to slam the costuming again. Just the guests heaping praise on  Nikki  like she's achieved some magnificent milestone rather than just getting a year older.

In the loving arms of his wife, Dr. Marlena Evans, John took his last breath at the end of the June 2 episode, after suffering devastating internal injuries during a lab explosion. The iconic character went out as he lived — a hero. Sensing the fans’ devastation on Monday, Marlena’s portrayer Deidre Hall posted this simple-but-powerful message to fans on Instagram: “I know.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Now coming into June...well...   I knew it was coming but I didn't like the start to the next round of Dani/Bill/Hayley. As the 3 A plots from the start of the show (The SilkPress storyline and Martin's Secret being the other two), it needed to be benched for a while to develop those characters and allow other characters and storylines to grow. 3 months in, Hayley is the weak link, Dani is still divisive, but not boring, and Bill has been making his mark with some plots faster than others. So last week seeing the story starting to loop back around to them with Hayley's potential pregnancy, I honestly had mixed feelings.   I get it. The SilkPress storyline is currently in aftermath/next turn mode, so it has to be moved into a C plot position. Moreso if we want to keep the very talented Miss Trish around. And I love how clever the writers are being with the storyline. They give us enough in the episodes and are still playing out beats to keep the appetite fed. I don't feel like anyone is being dumbed down to keep her around. And Trish is giving nuances in her alone scenes with NuTed. I shouldn't care for a clear psycho, but she be selling it. That said...I wish they had given us a little more of the Martin's Secret storyline in the last week of the month though I loved the game of cat and mouse Bill did on Martin and Smitty to keep the storyline alive and active after it had a nice build beginning of May and vanished for a week mid-May. And it appears like it's about to go back to the backburner as an A plot which of course leaves the A plot of Dani/Bill/Hayley.   I am probably in the minority as someone who is not anti-Dani here and even she annoyed the heck out of me last week. In character true, but I just felt like there was a way to get all of that across without it feeling like...as I've said before...one step forward, two steps back...and have it feel organic. I liked Hayley got a little bit of edge with her, but she still ain't no match for Dani. And it reminds to be seen if we should be going back to that well of a story yet.   Now about today's show...   And I thought Tracy was bad! lol. But YES. Sharon has been worth the wait. And so has Anita's story! Finally having TT in the limelight. This has been a nice slow burn for me and a nice B plot. And the actress is good. The wig is giving. And her holding what Anita's secret is over her head and threatening to tell Vernon....Ooooo...that is what I was waiting for.    And speaking of bad...I thought Eva vs Kat was a great rivalry. But I am loving the rivalry that is growing with 'Nancy Drew' and Silk Press Sheila! They both get good licks in and are so cunning with each other. And I definitely have liked that since the anniversary party, that it has been growing. Now that Kat has been proven right, she has not backed down. And neither has SilkPress. And we got a 'Ms. B@tch' moment, too? LOVE. Eva coming up with a trump card was delicious and so 90s Sami Brady. GOOD. And the coda with Jacob and the expert...YES. The Silk Press storyline has been the best paced on the show so I love that the aftermath of the anniversary party continues to be so...barring one flaw...well for me. Not enough Nicole's POV.   And I like the C plots on display. And by that, I mean Chelsea with Vernon. And it made me wonder what the writers have plan for her love life now that the throuple is over with. I was watching her and going awww.   And of course the mystery man around Martin. I am starting to wonder if he really even works at the country club given how he made a run for it. That would be a twist.    Speaking of Martin...good to see him in scenes with his father and mother.    I'm getting used to NuTed.    I felt the last episode of May was a bit of a letdown, but this was a very nice recovery.

      Unless they cut him, I'd think he would stay. Surely, he didn't choose to return because he expected high quality. I figure he gets to work when he wants and spend a lot of time doing his own thing and being with his family.

      The writing for Liz and Lucky is indeed terrible, but if JJ signed a one-year contract he may be gone in a couple of months anyway. Perhaps they’re just cutting their losses.

      That would be his older sister Stacey. She was the center of a big story back in the day. Nola was out to snag medical student Kelly Nelson, who she thought would provide her with the life she craved. He was in love with a girl named Morgan. Nola plotted to get pregnant by him, but couldn't manage to get him in bed. So she seduced Floyd, who thought she was in love with him. When she knew she was pregnant, she got Kelly drunk and made sure he woke up next to her in bed. Kelly believed her when she told him he made her pregnant. They were about to elope to Las Vegas, but her mother ratted her out and Kelly abandoned her. She almost married Floyd, but jilted him at the altar. She went to work for Quint. When the baby came prematurely, Kelly saved both of them. She named the baby Kelly Louise to irk Morgan, who was now married to Kelly. When she fell in love with Quint, she had a change of heart over all the trouble she had caused, so she changed the baby's name to Anastasia Louise, shortened to Stacey. Quint was a devoted stepfather and Henry treated her like his own granddaughter.  After Quint and Nola leave SF, I believe Stacey is never seen again. Which is odd, you would think they would have brought her back with Nola and J, but they never did.
