Yeah, people aren't attracted to who they aren't attracted to. Xander is not sexually attracted to Leo or men. I'm not surprised by what happened. He played Leo in pure Xander fashion. It seems like might end up being a theme with Leo trying to force himself on men who don't want him,  first Sonny, then Xander and

I think that Leo is mostly entertaining, but maybe they could work to soften him up a bit and not make him so desperate and constantly going after men who don't want him. 

 

Also, on another note, I have liked recent episodes I have seen of this show. One of my favorite scenes from last week was Marlena telling Haley that she while it may sound unprofessional that she cared about her. I thought that was a nice scene, and that Deidre did nice work in that scene trying to get Haley to open up about her secret.  (Even though I don't really like Haley.)

 

I also like Kyle Lowder as Rex, (though he was my favorite Brady).Though he definitely has some issues staying faithful. I think he looks good and I liked seeing him interact with Chloe. I also actually kind of like him and Sarah together.  I wonder who he will end up getting paired with.  Sarah has annoyed me, but I do like her chemistry with all three men, (Rex, Eric, Xander.)

After decades of seeing desperate women chasing and scheming to get men that aren't into them... it's kind of refreshing to see a gay man doing that (I know plenty of gay guys in Chicago that do that.. so it's realistic).

 

Marlena was always best when in counselor mode so no surprise she had a good scene with Haley.

 

So the story is that Rex cheated on Sarah... and on the never seen as an adult Noelle Curtis (daughter of Neil and Liz)...hmmm. interesting.

I know...it's hard to root for Rex. I mean, Sarah's sister, too! Damn...

 

Although an interesting twist (but they won't go there) would be to explore if Rex has a sex addiction. Just something on WHY he really cheated on Sarah...twice!

I am enjoying Melinda Trask having a larger role. The way she called out Abe/Hope, etc for being completely incompetent...she's completely right! As a police department, they're horrendous. They couldn't be trusted with writing jaywalking tickets.

 

Not sure I'm buying Jack's "I came back from the dead last week. So, now let's run for mayor!"

Trask is a hoot, as Laura Kai Chen has this deadpan, robotic delivery that makes me chuckle. I do wish she were more integrated into the cast to see other sides of her. I’d rather see her than Kate (hides from the Koz fans).

 

Speaking of Kate

Trask for mayor!

 

I'd like to see Eve team up with Hope to take down Ben. It'd be a lot more entertaining than watching her try to manipulate Jack.

 

Sarah's hair is getting worse with every episode. She looked like she got caught in a rain storm today.

 

The chick who plays Haley is a way better singer than Claire.

I feel like the show is on a real creative high right now... not that it's necessarily "good"... but RC is playing with the structure of the episodes and character dynamics are finally being mixed up.  The Brady/Chloe/Rex/Sarah/Eric/Xander/Leo/Sonny/Will situation is the kind of risk taking this show needed, even if it's not quite working.  And I'm thrilled with Jenn/Jack/Eve.

This would actually make sense. Eve is the type of character who would be fighting to the end to get justice for her daughter. 

I agree that we really don't need Jack and Jennifer to end up back together so quickly. That would be boring as hell. Been there, done that. It would be a twist if Jack NEVER got his memory back (unlike Will). That would actually free up the character for a lot more story potential without being chained to the "supercouple" status with Jennifer.

Lol I laugh about it, but only because it annoys me so much that I’ll scream if I don’t laugh. Why would Jack want to run for office when he’s clueless as to who he even is?  Why would the town permit It?  NONE of it makes any sense. 

 

It’d be more believable if gay Leo ran on the platform of a gay bar in Horton Square and won in a landslide.

    • HAHAHA. Yeah, that's my bad. I misread that line. Sorry about going into "Unnecessary" detail about my username. Anyway, I love the story behind your Username.    reading on my phone...

    • Completely agree with you. I think Bonita Brisker has been really good as Sharon. What Anita did was obviously awful, so she doesn't need to reign anything in. We're getting a good look at someone who's struggled in life compared to Anita "We're the Duprees!" Williams.   -- Anita is starting to look foolish for dredging all this up just so she  can get her ass back on stage. Is she so delusional she doesn't realize how she hurt Sharon and Tracy? -- Anita's line to Vernon "How can I expect Sharon to forgive me when I haven't forgiven myself" struck me as really selfish. After all that with Sharon, Anita again made it all about herself. -- Does anyone really believe Anita wants equal billing if the Articulettes reunite?  -- Colby Muhammad continues to be a standout. Her Kat more than holds her own with Leslie. -- The writing was very good for the father/daughter scene between Ted and Eva. It wasn't so good between Ted and Martin in their father/son scene. It didn't play like family to me, especially when Ted referred to "my wife" when talking about Nicole to Martin. -- Overall, a very solid show today.    
    • I honestly do not see the point of Max coming back again. Zoe does not surprise me. I've been waiting for that since Bionic Woman flopped in the US, frankly. I'm not against it vs. some other pointless returns. Some returns work and some don't, some are just there. Like, am I grateful that Kathy is alive? Yes, absolutely. Do I love any of her stories? No. But she's not utterly destroyed, she's just there.
    • I think Frank probably wanted to try for Jonathan with Kate Mansi. I actually can't knock the idea of a Lucky/Kristina affair or flirtation on paper, as a romantic obstacle to LNL2, but not with the characters in the places they are at present or have been over the last few years. It would be a mistake to do right now and would poison the well. I think Jonathan probably made it clear when he came back that he wanted what had been promised to him years ago with Elizabeth, and between his not being one of FV's preferred focal leads and Liz being a grudging afterthought if she's not with one of his OLTL stars, I suspect FV was content to leave them where they are vs. where they should be, which is central on the show. It's like I said a few days ago: A lot of this is how Lulu has always been. But back in the day the issue was that Lulu (and Carly) were deified for it, whereas now it's that Lulu is just used as the heavy because FV has a preexisting favoritism for Setton/BLQ. And that's a waste of a key character and talent, namely Alexa Havins.
    • Melanie Smith was very difficult to replace, but as KMH did last for a long time, she clearly managed to do so. I preferred Melanie, but the main issue with Kelley is I just think she was horribly written for most of the time. Initially the writing wasn't horrible, it's more she was not the right choice, but over time the writing genuinely became awful, and unplayable, with a few exceptions (I think her pairings with Chris and Hal worked and got to take her in some new directions).
    • Coming into June and...   TRASH. Or as I like to say for moments like this...HUNNI, WHAT IS THIS?   Outside of seeing Traci come home...and then...Ashley...not a darn thing is going on. So they are clearing stalling now, aren't they? It really hit me during the Phyllis/Daniel scenes. It was feeling like a B&B scene where two characters have the same repetitive conversation. And I have not seen Phyllis/Daniel scenes in that light lately so yeeeeah NOPE.   I did like the touch of Traci arrived outside of the Abbott mansion door and taking a breath and looking around. Very aftereffects of Martin. And I liked her and Diane having their conversation about Martin. I wished JG had allowed Traci to stay in town to deal with her feelings about Martin so at least we are getting some follow-up on that.    And same with Ashley and her talk with Jack. I will take Eileen Davidson anyway I can get her. Dare I say...will she be around for the Dumas reveal?   Outside of...   Kyle, Claire, and Harrison in a park IS NOT a storyline.   Sharon having to use the phrases (and in text) with Nick dinner as friends IS NOT a storyline.   Giggly Heffa giggly-heffa-ing around town IS NOT a storyline.    With Damian MIA and my love of Eileen Davidson...I might just go on break until the Dumas reveal if this is how we are starting June. 
    • Dragging this quote over from the Texas thread just because it shows a reference to Bay City as a fictional location at least as early as 1981. It doesn't quote Gail Kobe as saying it directly but the point she is making about the Houston setting of Texas does seem to take it for granted that Bay City is not real.
    • It's too bad they couldn't get access to the old music cues from the 80s and 90s, to run with the flashbacks or in the current scenes. That would have added a lot. Imagine if they had played the old Roman and Marlena theme.
    • Wonder if any of the Beyond the Gates people were asked. Admittedly, the show hasn't been on long enough for any of those actors to get much interest.
