I’ll be honest, the Craig/Leo scenes weren’t as bad as I thought they were going to be. Yes, Craig is stupid but at least he didn’t come off like a selfish POS.

Tripp was breaking my heart today lol

But yeah, Johnny’s inner voice sounded pretty bad. It really did sound like he was reading from a script

Good show today. 

Poor Tripp

 I felt so bad for him and not for Allie at all. 

We deserved flashbacks of Craig and Leo meeting. If the show can afford a life-sized Duke, they can afford a chipmunk costume for Greg Rikaart. 

The Johnny/JoDevil stuff at the end was really bad. I actually laughed our loud. Johnny's voice pleading with the devil was just... oy. And as much as I like Johnny/Chanel, Johnny trying to fight the devil with his love for Chanel doesn't pack quite the same punch as Marlena fighting for her love for John.

I’m not familiar with BB’s work on GH or even as Stefan, really. Is he doing an accent for Jake? He sounds like he’s from Pittsburgh whenever he pronounces the “ow” sound: house=haas, down=dahn. It’s almost Scottish sounding.

Ohhhh! Leo's the smart-ass who would probably be throat-punched if he if he brought that flamboyant sh!t up in Marjorie Taylor Greene's congressional district.

That was not meant to come across as hateful or political, but I weirdly envision the Leo's of the world in all the sociological bubbles that exist where tolerance is not so kind.

This Renee story is so dumb.  At the very least can they explain why Sarah doesn't visibly see Kristen and Tony are years older than her?    I know LG is not a board favorite and she's not mine, but has she ever seen a PS Renee scene?  Could she at least try to channel some of PS's mannerisms?  I want to like this story a little bit because it's an actual throwback to history, but LG was the absolutely wrong choice for this.

Why are Kate/Roman pushing so hard for Tripp to forgive Allie?  Can they give the man five minutes to absorb the information?  And Roman comparing Tripp's situation to his/John/Marlena's was oddly not helpful lol.  Are Allie/Chanel John/Marlena in this?

Well tbf, Sarah wasn’t injected with Renee’s essence like with Stevano, so this really is just Sarah playing Renee as opposed to LG playing Renee. 

And I see that Tony got some of his history wrong today lol Tony didn’t realize that Anna was the true love of his life until long after Renee was dead.

This same shít happened with RC's Teen Jessica's story on OLTL and it's exasperating.

I like LG a lot more than a lot of the board. I blame the writing and stories.

Okay, but I would at least expect LG to infuse some of Renee's aura or haughtiness into the way she acting.  She was waving at and greeting Chad like a child.   I am probably not explaining this right, but if Sarah reading Renee's diary made her think she loved Tony so you would think she also picked up other Renee attitudes and habits.

I think LG plays Sarah and pretty much anything on Days all wrong.  It's always obnoxious and cutesy.  Of course there are numerous writing issues but LG isn't helping at all.

I definitely don't expect LG to deep dive and find all of the 40 year old clips of Renee and spend her time on that, but at least a few important scenes.  I know Sarah is mentally ill right now, but she's acting like a child almost.  Not like Renee at all.  

I have no idea if this is anything Christopher Sean studied, but he immediately felt like he had similar mannerisms and expressions as Drake/John.  It could be natural, but it felt like he spent time at least studying John/Drake.  The same with Stephen Nichols.  He doesn't need to do research like that-he's iconic already.   I would expect someone like LG to at least do the bare minimum and do the same.   Maybe that's too harsh though.

    • 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.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
