So is Sarah Locke a battered wife? Because the actress literally plays every scene no matter who is in it like she’s terrified for her life.

I don’t feel like she loves Rey at all. Between the writing and acting, they should’ve just annulled their marriage.

I couldn't said it better myself!!!

That's how she plays it and I can't tell if it's intentional or bad acting lol. It could have worked to have him play a charming man and then slowly reveal his nature.

 

My biggest advice to JG would be: SHOW, DON'T TELL. He spent months having characters tell us this guy was Ruthless and sooooo scary. It's lazy writing. It's supposed to give him insta-vet status so we understand that he's Victor level because we were TOLD. Why not portray some nuances and let us decide for ourselves?

Huge problem with this show.

[Forever8]

A problem with this show in the words of Elvis Presley - A little less conversation a little more action,

So let me get this straight, not a single character is going to mention the age difference between Sally and Jack? They all just hate Sally and that’s their only issue with it? 
 

This is so unrealistic. Are they trying not to hurt Bergman’s feelings or something?

[Faulkner]

I wonder. But someone could conceivably say, “Don’t you think you’d have more in common with a more mature, experienced woman?” It doesn’t have to be, “Bitch, your wrinkled ass is too old for that girl!”

That's the elephant in the room between Jack & Sally. As I said on Twitter yesterday Sally was a kid when Shemar Moore was hosting Soul Train. While Jack was a grown man when Soul Train premiered with Don Cornelius as the host.

Like I’m pretty sure every single one of his ex wives could either be Sally’s mom or grandma.

Exactly.   How could it NOT be mentioned?   I was in the "vault" last night watching an episode from 1981 in which Kay Chancellor (age 53) was planning to marry Jerry Cashman (age 33).  She told Liz Foster, "He makes me HAPPY!"  Liz said, "Don't you think you could be happy with someone a little closer to your own age, Mrs. Chancellor?!"    But we're supposed to pretend not to notice that Jack Abbott is social security aged, and his little friend ain't.

It's such a bizarre relationship in general. The whole relationship is them sitting in the coffee shop talking about something they just did and how cool it was.  They went ice skating, bought a car... oh, and once they opened the scene with lipstick on him so they must have kissed! Then she brought him a wrinkly sample shirt yesterday and he was excited, like he's not a millionaire executive....

“It’s embryo transplant day” is not a good way to start a soap episode. Sorry not interested. 

 

It would be wonderful if someone challenged Jack.  He can tell them that men of his means can date a young hottie. That would shut up Phyllis at least for a minute. 

is Rey dying? The last episode I watched he didn’t feel good and now he’s in the hospital.

Has age differences ever been brought up between Victor and one of his former much younger lovers? In the past 15 years?

[FrenchBug82]

 

While I think the emphasis was more on the fact she was her friend, I am pretty sure Victoria brought up the age difference between Victor and Sabrina back when it was a thing

Why was Elena dressed like a character straight out of a Jane Austen novel?
