I was surprised that Tripp actually dumped Ciara. I thought she would be the one to end things. I think one of the reason why the Tripp, Claire, Ben, Ciara quad isn't that interesting is because Claire IMO doesn't have any chemistry with either guy. If she did, it might be more interesting. I think that Ciara does have chemistry with Tripp and Ben. I also think she has chemistry with Wyatt.  Claire OTOH doesn't have chemistry with any of them (including Wyatt) Though, I do think that Claire fit Theo. I think it also doesn't help that she comes across more immature than all of them.

 

 

I don't think that Sonny intends to stay away from Ari for long.

I found today's Thanksgiving episode funny and not in a good way.  Outside of Sarah, Eric, and Will it was like burning off guarantees for little used contract players.  And lol at John and Marlena too busy getting it on to have Thanksgiving so Will has nowhere to go.  Bro, you have a daughter and are related to half the town.  You don't need to spend Thanksgiving with Justin and Adrienne.  I am so glad Shelia got the invite to Doug's but I guess Hope and Ciara's got lost in the mail?   I can buy the absence of Chabby and crew and Jarlena, but no Brady's?  Kinda lame..

 The Thanksgiving show was blah. People having a Thanksgiving meal at a nightclub because the show has no budget. I'm starting to find Will annoying.   Eric & Sarah are both boring. The way they dress a young man like Will is laughable. Here's a pic of Will. Will's outfit is from the Fred Rogers Winter Collection.

I am right at the part where the therapy guy is flirting with Paul. I hate when they pull crap like this......guy leaves but he'll be ok because someone is already hitting on him....blah....like I am going to forgot how they completely just dropped Will and Paul for an annoying mama baby sap called Sonny. Sonny and Will are old news......it was time for Will to move on but instead they ruined it by putting him back with boring Sonny.

Doing some binge watching to catch up. Everything with Marlena, Hattie and the Halloween episode were fantastic. Mimi and Bonnie's return was halfway fun. The show in general feels light and fun in places, which is such a nice change from GH.

 

Some of my negative thoughts: 

  • Why is T-Boz still around? Was she really that popular? Am I the only one who doesn't think she's a very strong actress and is relying on her sass to cover the holes in her acting? Did Valerie disappear as a result of Sheila still being a thing? Vanessa A. Williams has a certain charm that will be missed.
  • I am about to catch heat for this. I can understand why people love #Cin so much, mostly due to desperation of there being no better options and the fact that they're both hot, but I am not overly feeling them. They're both competent actors but to call them some huge supercouple seems...premature... based on the scenes I've seen. Some of their "eye twinkle" stares seem very forced to me.
  • What the f**k is growing on Tripp's face?! 
  • I haven't liked any version of adult Abby but I'm so happy Marci Miller is out the door. She is as dull as dishwater. I think I literally fell asleep during scenes with her and Tyler Christopher, who also looks pained to be here. And the worst offender is Billy Flynn. What the f**k happened to him? I remember him being half-decent years ago. He's obviously extremely disengaged from the show and the material. When does he leave? I'm legitimately shocked that Chad and Abby are still leading characters, let alone a leading couple. Gag me!
  • I don't know Linsey Godfrey from a hole in the ground but she is a really poor fit for this cast. I think she's an Emmy winner but I don't like anything about her acting choices or the character of Sarah and desperately want her to go away already.

Also, I was very depressed to see the actress who plays Claire is still deathly skinny all these months later. I'm very worried for her health.

Nope Linsey hasn't won an emmy but I think she fits in great. Very good recast IMO

 

I don't get why the show lags behind ratings wise when it's so much better than GH. I'm SHOCKED that someone called what Stefan did to Abby "Rape" given ReRon's writing. He himself blocked people on twitter when they called it that in regards to Tessica on OLTL

I think Linsey's a great fit for the cast, personally (as Sarah? Well we haven't had Sarah since like 1991 and I haven't seen quite enough to form a true opinion yet). And I enjoy T-Boz. I'd rather it not be at the expense of Vanessa A. Williams though. 

 

I agree with @alexisfan07 on #Cin and lol I've said the same thing about what's growing on Tripp's face.

I wonder what type of budget they have for Wardrobe and what they get these clothes from. I  have wondered about wardrobes in general for the soaps. Sometimes on Twitter, I will see Tweets that say stuff like "How to purchase Sharon's dress on Y&R" and maybe one day I will click on some of those tweets to see what money is being spent on clothes for some characters.

 

Granted, I know that Days doesn't have much of a budget but I feel like they could dress Will and the other men better on this show.(And women like Lani) This outfit is not most flattering outfit for Will. (Though, I was glad to see Eli in a suit on Thanskgiving and I thought he looked good in it.)

    • 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. I know. Hardest day ever.”

    • 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.
