I love Jaime Lyn Bauer so Monday was a treat! It’s funny how much I’m in love with this show, but hate aspects of it so much. Thursday and Friday’s episodes were PAINFUL with the heavy focus on the rape and Ben/Ciara who put me to sleep. Then you switch to the Devereaux story or Kiriakas drama of even Rafe/Nicole and I’m invested. I will say, for someone who hasn’t liked Rafe OR Nicole in years, they surprisingly work well together. 
 

Going back to the Gwen story, I am shocked we still don’t know the truth. They’ve done such a good job keeping this a secret. It’s unheard of that we’re watching a story unfold in real time like this. I can’t wait for today’s episode to see what exactly Laura’s involvement in. I’m still not sold on Gwen’s mom being dead.

I've enjoyed the Gwen storyline from the beginning and it was great seeing Jamie Lyn Bauer as Laura again, but having Laura be the one who paid off Gwen's mother was a really big mistake.

 

Today's newly created flashbacks seemed so random and out of the blue. Did Frank Valentini come up with the idea for them or something? Plus, this might be a little nitpicky, but how was Laura able to keep sending checks to Gwen's mother while Stefano, Peter and Kristen were wiping her memories and trying to drive her insane again? 

 

That was the wrong choice for this storyline

Those flashbacks were incredibly campy, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy them. Emily O'Brien did a pretty good American accent as Gwen's mom Tiffany, and Marci Miller's Missy Reeves impression was hilarious, as was Cady McClain's take on Jamie Lyn Bauer's fluttery affect. 


I still would have rather had someone on Jack's side of the family secretly paying Tiffany off, but I thought they gave a plausible explanation why Laura would do this.

I gotta admit...the 90s hair on Flashback Jennifer and Flashback Laura made me laugh out loud. It was a little much, but it was fun at the same time.

 

I've almost completly forgotten Melissa Reeves ever played Jennifer. Cady works that well for me. I soooo hope she stays.

    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
