The devil stuff I expect to be bad.  I was more disappointed in Jan/Shawn/Belle.  While the whole situation of Shawn getting Jan out to LIVE with her own victim on house arrest is absolutely ridiculous, I was letting it slide because maybe Eric would have some intelligent advice for Belle.  NOPE.  Instead he equated it to his situation with Nicole and wishing he forgave her.  I was really hoping for a nice discussion with his sister about the time a very similar situation happened to him with Kristen and the shame and embarrassment he felt.  Shawn is a bonehead for allowing Jan to live with him, but, man, he's got no one on his side on this.  I just don't know how Ron & co miss the most obvious beats in how to tell a story with nods to actual history.  I guess I should be glad he remembered Eric/Belle were related.

I have to laugh at the ridiculousness of Ron's stories to make things happen from the silliness of the possession story to now this. No one in their right mind would invite his assailant  to live with him.

There was pretty much a 99.9% chance the Possession Part 2 would be awful.  I am not shocked it is.  I am just shocked it is so bad.  If Ron would have kept the original idea of the Possession and kept the theme that JER had throughout the story it may have been okay.  If Ron made a love story about someone willing to give their soul up for the person they loved at the core at least there would be something viewers could hold on to about good vs. evil.   This story is about chained up hunks, skipping person to person to cause the most petty problems, and a baby I don't care about at all.   The Devil stayed gone for 25 years, but came back for Cin's kid?!?  No wonder the Devil can't take over the world.  At this point, I would gladly take both Ben/Johnny shirtless in that crypt.  At least I would enjoy the eye candy!

The Jan stuff isn't even remotely realistic, but at least it has potential to be soapy.

So, is there any truth to the rumor that went around abt. 2 wks ago that Corday asked him to revisit the demonic possession s/l? Of course, even if it were true there is a lot of room to wiggle around in, in how it got revisited. Short? Or Long? Serious? Or Goofy? Scary? Or Ludicrous? Fast-paced? Or molasses-paced?

    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits.
