Speaking of folks disappearing, what happened to Angelica McDaniel's twitter account? 

 

I don't normally check for her (or care to) but last night, I was curious as to whether she'd post something about Kristoff St. John and there's neither hide nor hair of her on the platform.

@Faulkner Call me a cynic, but some of these corporate-driven remembrances strike me as self-serving of the bottom line.  CBS is now sending out a Kristoff-themed hashtag #picturesforKristoff in which they are using it as way to promote themselves and sell people their All Access platform, which I find distasteful.  I'm not going to speak on it anymore though.

I guess Instagram is where some folks go to hide from the scrutiny of twitter.

Thanks for the 411.

Perhaps it's a case of hindsight being 20/20 but Kristoff looked tired, somewhat haggard in his final episode.  He was professional, though he wasn't given much dialogue.

 

The show itself, the actors are clearly trying (Cait Fairbanks still seems to lack emotion) and the younger set might be more interesting with less superficial dialogue and scenes but the whole show seemed hollowed out.

I can't believe they are still in the J.T. storyline.

 

Welp, I guess I'll tune in on Friday but honestly, that's it for me, at this point. 

It wasn't just the realization that I was watching the last scenes of Kristoff (the only reason why I returned to watch) that were so marginal but I struggled to stay engaged with the rest of the episode as well.

I was glad that Neil's last scenes today were happy ones where he spent time interacting and supporting a couple of his loved ones. I wish we would have gotten more episodes/scenes with him. They could have used him a bit more and showed him during a direct fallout after Fen showed up late to the performance to watch Ana sing in his place. They could have used another episode for that same evening. But I think they will jump at least a soap day (and multiple episodes) until we get the characters (minus Neil) addressing that.

 

I thought that Ana's performance was cute. She has nice energy and I think that her version was better than Fen's. I wish he wouldn't have been late to the performance and they would have done a duet together, lol. He could have gotten excited during the performance and brought her up on stage with him, (maybe even letting it slip publicly that she was the songwriter) and they could have sung together. It could have given them an opportunity to get closer to each other. I would have enjoyed that and I would prefer that to them having conflict due to them possibly competing on Devon's record label.

 

Lola didn't respond as poorly as I thought she would about the pictures, but she is still  very annoying/immature/insecure. And overall her behavior is exhausting to  Kyle.  I thought he explained/carried himself as best as he could when she was crying about Summer wanting him.  (Minus failing to make the conversation more private so the rest of the young people didn't hear it.) I do think that her behavior will push Kyle into Summer's arms. And IMO Summer's reaction wasn't that bad today. She wasn't trying to rub the pictures in Lola's face as  much as I thought she would and actually seemed to be bragging about both Kyle and Fen. She made a comment to Lola about needing to watch "our men" (due to other women possibly wanting them after seeing the photoshoot.) It kind of sounded like she was claiming Fen there. I wonder if her hanging around with him is all about biding her time before she can get Kyle or if maybe she might also be trying to give Fen a bit of a chance.

 

I wonder if his conversation they had the other day about her using him actually resonated with her a little bit. I prefer Fen/Ana be together, but I actually do think that Fen and Summer kind of look good together and I see some chemistry between them. Also, I think he's definitely over Lola now. Summer coming back helped with that and It doesn't seem like he wants the type of relationship that Lola has with Kyle.

Oh man....that really hit me where Neil talks to Devon about how important it is to keep taking his medication and continue to get help with his depression. The irony of that scene is so sad. As someone who's dealt with depression/anxiety issues, It broke my heart.

      I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.

      Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol

      Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170.

      I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

      Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss.

      I wonder whose brilliant (
