Today's episode was good. I like that this show has a lot of storylines going on but I liked that this particular episode focused on the Nixon Falls/Jarly Wedding coinciding. And the Juxtaposition of scenes as things were unraveling in Nixon Falls with Nina & getting underway with Jarly's wedding.

Speaking of Jarly, I am no fan of them and didn't think they had romantic chemistry. But they did look genuinely happy today and their kisses today were much better than their kisses days ago when Jason admitted his feelings to Carly. They looked happy and like they really wanted to start their live together. It's going to be interesting to see what happens now that Sonny remembers who he is and wants to go back to Carly.

I could tell even before I saw the preview for Monday's episode that Sonny was about to start yelling pretty soon there with Nina, lol. He just had that seething angry look he gets when he's about to go off and yell. And that he did in the previews. Nina really has deluded herself into things can just pretty much be the same as they were before Sonny got his memories back. She's in a for a rude awakening. Jax/Phyllis are trying to reason with her, but it's not getting through to her. Maybe her conversation with Sonny where he expresses his anger at her lies, will help snap her back to reality. I have been enjoying Jax and Phyllis in these scenes at the Tan-O.

Jax fits in as someone who cares about Nina and who is trying to help snap her back to reality and prepare her for the major storm that is coming due to her lies. Phyllis has also been great. Joyce Guy is very talented and does a good job of showcasing Phyllis emotions as she tried to help her deluded friend, while balancing her own fears/belief that Mike had died, on top of still grieving her own husband who has recently passed. And then realizing that Sonny was a completely different man from Mike and coming to terms with that. She was just excellent all the way around and I hope she ends up in PC

And it looks Madame Wu went against the plans of Mr. Novak and Mr. Buschema. It looks like she confirmed to Jason what was about to go down. He may have been the one to switch the bombs, because he caught wind of what was going to happen. He was shown telling Spinelli this week that something needed to be done, it may have been related to the car bombing.

I thought that today's episode was the most believable this version of Jarly have ever been as a potential couple. They actually seemed happy together and like they were into each other. 

Also, another thing I didn't mention in my last post was Joss comments about her & the teens views on marriage and her fearing she would be alone. I thought that was interesting, she is dating Cam, but mentions Oscar as being the love of her life and fearing she will be alone for 60 years now that he's gone. I wonder why they had her say that comment especially since she's dating Cam. Or they going somewhere with that or was that just to give Michael a chance to say he would consider marrying Willow & hinting that might happen later.

I thought it was interesting that they had her say those things specifically. She could have just mentioned the teens being skeptical of marriage due to their parents failed marriages and left it at that. But she actually brought up Oscar as the love of her life and worried that she might end up alone for sixty years. She was acting like she wasn't dating Cam. Also, earlier like a couple/few weeks ago I believe she referred to Cam as her friend even though they had already started dating.

And around that time Carly referred to him as Joss's boyfriend. This was around the time that Jax/Carly had that dinner with them that was filled with tension between CarJax. I wonder if the show is foreshadowing something with Joss's comments or they just wanted her to provide an opening for Michael to say he might marry Willow.

I see that some people are concerned on places like Twitter about her comments possibly interfering with Sprina's developing romance. But I don't think it was related to that. Especially since Spencer just admitted that he liked Trina to Joss. But maybe it may have something to do with a potential upcoming storyline for Joss.

    • I really have no problem with Kai as a character or with the actor. The problem is putting together two very nice people -- Kai and Trina. Neither of them has a bad side, neither of them has a devil on the shoulder, neither of them is impulsive. I think that's a problem in a soap relationship. Yeah, I agree. All this freaking out might make sense if Lulu wanted to do a tabloid expose on BLQ's LOVE CHILD. We have no indication that's the case.  
    • So Sonni would have somebody to talk to who she wasn't conspiring with (Will or Alan)? Alex kept telling Sonni how important her friends were...when she had virtually no friends. Instead they created loyal servants like Jane and Vera to give Alex people to play off of. They did that with Iris on AW, but Vivien was mostly there for comic relief Alex keeping Marah's paternity a secret was absurd. But I still love the scene between Alex and Alan where he convinces her by reminding her how they protected each other from their abusive father. Chris and Bev ATE that scene. Unfortunately, that took place only a few months before he exited the show...always thought they could have built on that, explored more how being Brandon's children screwed them both up. Maybe even used it as an explanation for the way their relationship could constantly swing from hatred to love. Instead of it being merely dictated by the plot.
    • The first one is Cass Winthrop dressed as Krystle Lake on Another World (not from his original creation of the character to hide from the loan shark Tony the Tuna, but at a romance convention trying to find out what had happened to Felicia who was missing). The second one is also Another World, Jake McKinnon as Doris although I don't recall what his purpose was.
    • I know there was one brief scene in the summer of 1989 where Lillian did mention Calla.. but in relation to her past relationship to Ross and it was to Roger while he was a patient at Cedars.  I think he was trying to pump her for information on Ross.. and for some reason, Calla's name came up.   I could see perhaps Beth mentioning that her mother Lillian was visiting Calla.. but not exactly giving any sort of details as to the going ons in Calla's life off screen.

    • They're neither great nor terrible AFAIK, but it is more a question of the streaming numbers in this day and age vs. actual TV airings. The Chibnall era reminded me much more of the crisis years, but I do think it's a very real possibility now as well due to the streaming bubble collapse affecting the show and its prospects.
    • ANYTHING to get her off the screen..she COULD have been interesting if she and Van had a few face offs..(there was a mild one of her going back to work...but I wanted something meatier "Bitch, I am Vanessa Chamberlain and I don't take advice from someone who followed the..career path you did!" I did like Alex's outright disdain for her.
    • Thanks @Vee for the commentary.    I haven’t even watched this season yet after  I couldn’t get past the couple episodes last season…like it was too Disneyified for my taste, although I did think it was a least better than the Chibnall era (but so is a lot of things). I’ll probably go back and binge it now. Hoping this season ends on a high note. I did read the ratings are terrible. As it stands I’m beginning to feel like what long time DW fans felt with S26 in 1989.
    • Yes, they are all on contract. Next.
