I liked Lola at first.  Now over the past couple months they've made her a pathetic, sad, brat who "people will never understand".  Kile needs to move on...for good and stop the apologizing and trying to win her back every other week because she decides she's unhappy again.

Over the course of the last year I've realized that RC Cates is just arrogant and ambitious in his scoring. He likes to create new and wants to leave his  mark. That's the only  reason I can come up with for why he hasn't used more old stuff in the past. Hilary's death should have had Nadia's theme. Instead he created something. He may have been given the green light to use certain old stuff. But I don't think it's all been off limits

The indication to me was exactly that — that it’s been off limits for a good while. He’s still writing new stuff (which he links on Twitter thru SoundCloud) but it distinctly sounds like YR.

 

i think he was told NOT to use the old stuff until recently— meaning when Mal left.

And your point is? I wasn’t talking about the main theme of the show but the old music cues.

 

Look, either Cates and co. were told it was ok to use the old cues again or they were ordered to use them again. How you get that Cates is arrogant is the question.

Nadia Theme was also used in 2011 when Phyllis lost her baby and 2015  when Christian was born 

 

Also noticed on todays eppy, the music in the Phyllis and Nick scenes is the same music they used for them 12 years ago

Lola is an insufferable shrew. This character is awful. She doesn't deserve Kyle and has me rooting for Summer to get with him. (If only to keep Lola away from him) I hated the way she barged in to the cabin. She should leave Kyle alone after dumping him yet again for a stupid reason. He is single now and doesn't owe her any explanation as to what he was doing with Summer.

 

She didn't give him an explanation for hurting him by making out with Fen in front of his face. She's a hypocrite who needs to be alone until she decides she wants to grow up and is ready for mature adult relationship. I doubt it's the case, but I would like to see her and Kyle broke up for good or at least long term.

 

IMO, Kyle was a bit harsh with Summer and I think he will apologize/soften towards her.. I believe that he will realize they have more in common than he realizes and will continue to be drawn to her. If he has to pick one of them, I hope it's Summer and Lola has to live with that. 

She pushed  away a man who treated her very well for no good reason.

      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 guess, according to Mike Manning in the Michael Fairman chat, he was almost Derek

      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.
