"He doesn't murder women... that's a plus." Theo and Ciara

I hope she never gets her memory back. Ben is so damn crazy and annoying. It's not romantic, it's creepy.

 

I love how Marlena is just like, "Yeah I have one patient tomorrow and it's Ben." The poor people of Salem aren't entitled to doctor-patient confidentiality at all.

I thought today's episode was pretty good. With the big reveal with Paulina. Wanting to turn HTS into Price Town. I'll miss Precious Way. I hope the recast works. Days really should update HTS. But i doubt Days will. It's an overused set. Days only uses the same spot. Poor Theo is going to get hurt in the CIN drama. Then shipped back to South Africa.

I'm so sick of the town square... I say bring on Price Town! 

 

I just remember one time years ago they literally had treadmills set up in the town square and people were working out there. I don't remember what the context was, but it was so ridiculous. They use that set for everything.

Lol Marlena was all serious about being on duty and then violated HIPPA like 1 minute later.  I did enjoy the Jarlena stuff though.

 

I do think it's a little weird for Theo to want to marry Ciara already.  But it's probably because their entire 'relationship' has been off screen.  

 

Ben comes off like a psycho.  If I were Marlena I wouldn't advertise him as my patient lol

I have a slight hope that they might actually refresh the set considering they did have a random DiMera mansion make-over. However, the most obvious problem with the set is that they obviously have a limited space and that's really what needs to be adressed with the set.

Price Town sounds like Super Walmart. Who wants to see junk everywhere? I don’t. 
 

Besides, the entire project being done undercover by Paulina is absolutely ridiculous. No building ordinances? No votes by council? No involvement by banks? No deals made with HTS stores?

 

And how did Chanel and Allie get a loan when the place is about to be torn down in the middle of the night? The whole thing is just stupid.

I have to be honest I was really curious as to what Pricetown would sell?  Is it like a Walmart or more classy like a Target?  Is it like a Ross/TJ Maxx?  Can we imagine Marlena/Julie/Kate hanging out near such establishments?  

I say this a lot but wardrobe (especially Ciara's) bothers me.  VK looks great, but she continues to wear things that are not only seasonally inappropriate but way too sexy and dressy for the occasion of seeing Ben.  She looks like she is going to a club.  Gabi/CB has the same problem.   I get they are young, hot girls, but throw on a dress that is at least appropriate for the situation.   Lani, Chanel, and Claire all manage to look trendy and cute without the overt sexiness those two bring.  Idk, it's probably silly, but the way Ciara dresses is not how the character is even supposed to be portrayed so it bugs me all the time.

Nah. No thanks.

I think if the original Town Square were restored I'd be happier with it. But it has been diminished to the restaurant and sometimes the Alice & Tom plaque, with an occasional look at the Salem Inn.

There is, however, a gap in this demolition: what about everyone who is staying at the Salem Inn? Their sh*t is just going to be demolished? Especially since the Inn was never in the Square to my memory.

The original set was HUGE and was actually said to be easy to use. I guess it wasn't so easy they had to demote it to nothing. I mean, even the plaque changed its position. It was never at the edge of the Square. It was in the middle... now the restaurant seems to be in the middle of the Square.

Visually she looks like she will work.

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.
