I enjoyed today's show. I think that the best scenes were definitely the ones at the Tan-O and Sonny with vision/Ghost Mike. Jax works in the Tan-O scenes and I think he actually went easy on Nina (though she was frustrated by the stuff he was saying) all things considering. His displeasure at her lies is going to be nothing compared to what she's going to get from other people, once they find out she knew Sonny was alive didn't tell anyone and on top of that didn't tell anyone about Peter except Obrecht who is now missing. She is really going to get it from all sides. Phyllis is upset with her as well, though, I think she will be more forgiving towards her than others.

Cynthia Watros is doing a really nice job as Nina and you can see Nina unraveling as Sonny/"Mike" is trapped in the burning bar and things and reality is starting to come crashing down around her. She kept switching back and forth today from calling him Mike to Sonny and Phyllis called her out on that. Telling her she seems unsure of what she should call him. It also doesn't bode well for her that Sonny's vision/dream of Carly is what motivated him to wake up and fight for his life. Vision/Ghost Mike also was pushing Sonny towards Carly. I think that's a sign that Sonny will want to reclaim his life with Carly and will end up being furious with Nina when he finds out about her lies. (Though, he still may have feelings for her as well).

Also, regarding the wedding and the guests, I continue to enjoy Gladys. I like her with Vincent Novak. It would be interesting if they fell for each other and actually got married. Maybe he ends up helping out Jason/Carly in some way (like turning on Cyrus) & they grudgingly call a truce with each other. It seems like they did that already, but Jason/Carly could find out about the plan he hatched with the other families/Cyrus and that could put them on the outs again. Brando didn't want any association with him, but it would be something if he fell/actually married Gladys.

Also, it was nice seeing Bobbie again and Trina/Cam interacting together. Cam/Trina's brief scenes today were cute and highlighted their chemistry and the friendship that used to be shown more often.

Jax and Nina could have easily pulled Sonny out of the burning Tan-O together, but her pulls her out.

Just checked the dates, Sonny went over the bridge on December 18, it’s now September 16 meaning the Mike amnesia plot took 9 months

. The Bold & the Beautiful probably would have horrendously wrapped this up in two months.

I know. I am just being cheeky at B&B's expense

I didn't mind the slow pace of this particular story until now because I like a slow burn when the payoff ought to be there at the end which seemed like it... but the last few weeks have been unsatisfying and I am now pessimistic it is going to be as worth it as I had assumed, sadly.

The extreme dragging out of the Jax/Nina stuff and Carly/Jason’s wedding reminds me of old school soap plotting, but not as interesting.  They are trying to do soap again, but it still lacks something.

As ridiculous as James Reilly could be, he at least knew how to make an endless day interesting.

I see that Jason's kids didn't get an invite to the wedding.

This wedding is so cringy and dull. I don't care about the drama with Vincent Novak. And we have Spinelli giggling like a schoolgirl as Carly walks down the aisle. Yuck.

Nixon Falls was much more interesting today than the wedding. Things are happening. Nina is totally in the wrong but I'm not even really that mad at her because Cynthia Watros is just really good. It was good to see Max Gail. LOL at Sonny's first memory being him smashing barware. He's back, now let's get him to the wedding ASAP so we can have a hell of a Friday cliffhanger tomorrow.

    • Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season.
    • thank you for uploading the rest of season 12!!! I hope i can get them soon the links down! Thank you again for posting the B&B classic episodes to revisit!!!!
    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
