Yeah, I am not sure about that.  I thought that would go somewhere, but it didn't at all.  Maybe it still will? I think they are still married? The pacing of the show is awful.  Nicole/Xander hooking up was super random too.  They haven't had scenes for months.

Well, the Kristen plot seems to get all the airtime.  Are we ever gonna solve Charlie's murder lol?  And Nicole could have been a normal human being and just called Eric back.  Or went to visit him.  Or anything other than what she did.  Clearly the show has no idea what to do with Xander without Sarah.  Same with Ben.

And the Kristen story is aimless too. As she tries to cover her tracks, she impersonates or imprisons someone new seemingly every other day, and the story gets further and further away from her initial plan to keep tabs on Brady and Chloe.
 

It almost feels like RC puts a bunch of scenarios in a hat, pulls a few of them out each week at random, and calls it a show.

It does feel like that.  And some stories are interesting.  Charlie's murder, Jan, Allie/Chanel, Paulina, Sami/Lucas, etc but they are dropped for long periods at a time.   I just don't even know why Kristen is wasting all this effort on Chloe.  Just trust freakin Brady.  He has shown to be dumb loyal to Kristen.  He's not John panting after Marlena like in 1997. That was a "legit" reason to scheme.  John would have left Kristen for Marlena. Brady has been bending over backwards for Kristen and turned Chloe down. Anyway...whatever.   The show is very disjointed and the masks are awful.   Like why is Kristen in her Kate mask today with Xander?  Is it a guarantee thing for Lk?

I’m just happy everyone knows about Kristen now. Hopefully the dangling Sarah plot gets taken care of as well. Still not sure why Rex hasn’t told ANYONE that Sarah never left with him. I guess his parents never call him.

What's with the Sami fat jokes today?  I love Lucas and Sami, but Idk, she might be sensitive about her weight since she had an eating disorder back in the day?  Also, maybe Sami and Lucas could have used one of those many wine crates to get out....

I am also really confused why Xander is so poor.  I know living at a hotel and drinking their entire mini bar is not cheap, but he had a job for a long time.  He could also take Sarah's ring to a jeweler or the pawn shop to make money instead of trying to sell it to random people he interacts with. 

Dear God, can Lani turn Kristen in please?

Heck, AS is very outspoken about her own struggles with her weight. And I love BD/Lucas and I totally "would" but it is not like he has not also visibly been having the same "struggle" these past few years (I can say it; I have been too!).
Not a fan of using the topic as a punchline not just in context of the show and no matter the character but in general.

Lucas was lifting Sami up in the Secret Room to get out through the ceiling and he made several references to her being heavy and hurting his spine.  He called her a "baby hippo".  It was in "jest", but it felt very awkward, especially knowing how fans used to make fun of AS's weight.

Yeah, I am not usually that sensitive but Sami/Ali both have struggled with weight issues, and it was in "fun", but it was uncomfortable.  I know they are fictional and the actors seemed okay with it, but the show didn't need to go there.   I usually love everything Lumi but that stuff made me cringe.

I don't doubt for a second that AS has enough pull on the show that if she was bothered, she would have had it nixed. Heck, they wouldn't have even tried to insert it in the script.

But still, I think you are right that it is not something that is in character for either of them and it is cheap and not particularly funny and therefore not worth going there.

I am sure AS was fine with it. It was said in an obviously joking manner and Lucas did say he was out of shape.   I just felt like it was unnecessary to say to any character, especially a character like Sami who has had body image issues.  It's just not a very Lucas thing to say.

 

I had to laugh at Nicole saying sleeping with Xander was the worst thing she ever done.  I can literally think of like 10 things off the top of my head Nicole has done that were worse.

 

Allie/Trip are really boring.  I think I am rooting for Allie/Chanel.   And is Chanel going to get the hots for Eli?  The show really has no idea what to do with Chanel lol.  But I like her.   I think someone said on another board the actress is 30.  If she is she looks super young.

    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. (did not see Naomi?) -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black tee, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party but perhaps they arrive later.  The night is yet young.

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
