What a dreadful week of episodes. I spent the entirety of Thursday's episode cleaning my kitchen and just had it on as background noise. An impromptu Bonnie/Justin wedding? Really?

My fast forward button got a serious workout yesterday with Ben and Ciara. We get it, you're pregnant. And what a shock, they're in bed making out again. When is VK going to leave yet again? This latest stint of hers is lasting way too long.

At least they're starting to use Shawn and Belle more. We got a peek of shirtless Shawn looking sexy in bed.

Team Abby. This Gwen stuff is for the birds. Jack looks so dumb.

Susan is back.

No EJ on my screen this week.  No wonder it sucked so bad.

I had a crappy week and found the Halloween episodes to be so campy and out there - it was a great guilty pleasure. I missed the 'Nick' years - um, why would DAYS get rid of BB - he has complete presence.  Same with MM. Poor VI - Deimos was such a rotten character - even VI couldn't salvage those scene. Credit AZ with the best + most realistic reaction.

The Gwen reveal writing was horrific. Once Abby spouted out what clearly was the truth, Gwen should've owned it and flipped it: 'I was so distraught after I lost my baby. I came to the mansion to tell Chad the news, but you, Abigail, ripped into me. After I fell, I was still in shock. Dr. Snyder took advantage of my post-miscarriage trauma, blah, blah, blah.' That would've worked far better.

It was strange that the whole reveal was done in two episodes - no real build-up - immediately after that WTH all 4 in jail story. Sometimes I just don't get what they're thinking. 

Kristen: Are they trying to make us hate her? It was illogical for her to throw a tantrum after EJ's letter. Kristen's not stupid - she knows the business would be hurt with EJ taking her case. He's not abandoning her. So we get more bad SH scenes where she crumbles paper, throws her hands around and get irrationally hysterical. This is 100% a writing choice. It could've been so much better having Kristen tell Chad how much she appreciates her brothers supporting her even after all the bad choices she's made.

Gwen's entire story has been odd and disjointed. I thought the character and the actress were a breath of fresh air when she first came on, but she's been on a steep downhill curve since she got involved with the Devereauxs. I like all the actors involved in the storyline, but the writing for them has been terrible.

The better choice: Gwen stays pregnant at least for a while. Chad moves her into DiMera mansion, which sends Abby to Boston (for MM's leave). That would've spared us the Dr. Snyder dud. PT/EoB have done best they can. Gwen mixing it up with EJ, Johnny, Tony, Anna couldn't be worse than what's been on. Throw in Stefan/Gabi dropping by.  Bonus: Gwen tries to make amends by taking care of the kids in Abby's absence. EJ welcomes Xander, his old friend, back into fold and that's how Gander connect.

I'm sure a lot of people on this board can write better than what we've seen. The problem, for me, is that the storyline itself is not necessarily bad, but the filler that's put in, in order to pad the storyline out sometimes comes off as lazy, or just plain bad.

Brady's dream was kind of hot, I'm not gonna lie

As for Ben and Ciara, they once again have a chance to tell a story that can have actual conflict between the two of them, but I won't be holding my breath.

Yeah.

As of now, Andre is Stefano's son.

MarDevil telling Brady to show Chloe how hard he was for her and [!@#$%^&*] her was

This is why I can't take this possession seriously.

MarDevil telling Brady to lay Chloe down on the conference table and show her how big his "feelings" are was hilarious. Brady's face

These scenes were definitely the highlight of today for me.

LOL at Chloe disinfecting the table.

Johnny apparently is covering at the bakery. I'd rather see that than half of what aired today. He'd look cute in his pink apron.

Rafe is an ass. I hate him. Seriously, how could anyone like this character?

I FF'd the Ben/Ciara/Susan mess.

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Anita vs. Leslie, bring it!
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
