What IS the plot here other than "Diane's alive"? She explained why she did it and where she was. Have they hinted at more? Or does this writing team think her mere existence is enough? A month of Jack announcing to Genoa City that Diane is alive does not constitute a story.

At this point I wouldn't be shocked if she turns out to be in league with Flashman Bock (Ashland, since they keep saying his full name constantly to the point of it becoming gibberish) and they both end up written out simultaneously to resume the test pattern magic of this show. But they could very well keep her on permanently. I'm not sure they know what they're doing with her either. And where is Allie?

Honestly...?  I don't believe they have a real agenda for Diane beyond her resurrection.  They're just hoping it'll be enough to energize the rest of the characters and the audience, too.

But, that's just my opinion.

Same.  Either way, I don't feel like SW/Diane is back to stay.

All the stories feel like this, the set-up seems to be the story. Then they just talk & talk about the set-up for months, and then it fizzles out without any climax or resolution.

They are still in the same place in the Ashland story. Ashland lied, we found that out months ago, but they keep rehashing it like it's new information.

    • The timeline on Days of Our Lives is verging on absurd in the best way. Tate yelled that Johnny has been stringing him along for “months,” which is technically true—after all, they first discussed the adoption in March, and now it’s May. However, within the show's internal timeline, EJ was shot just two days ago, meaning Amy met with EJ, Paulina, Johnny, and Chanel at most four days ago. So when Tate starts swinging at people for backing out of parenthood, it really depends on which universe we’re inhabiting. That said, I appreciate how cleverly the EJ mystery is unfolding. They neatly closed the glaring loophole everyone spotted yesterday: the SIM card wouldn’t capture the shooting, because EJ pocketed it beforehand. I like the momentum in how suspects are being methodically eliminated. (Cough cough, like the little girl upstairs whose mother refuses to send her to therapy.) Meanwhile, setting aside the online component, I thought only men were being auctioned off. Now Cat was on the block too? And Chad somehow didn’t keep up with bidding on his phone? We understand the intent, but it would have been far cleaner for Cat to simply run into EJ while picking up a blouse she left behind at the mansion. On the other hand, I hope they don't pursue a drug dependency storyline for EJ. He’s only misused medication once, and even after previous shootings, he was never depicted as reliant on painkillers. His past crimes were never fueled by addiction, and tying sobriety into his character now feels misplaced. This isn't so much a criticism as a reflection on my experience watching the episode. As Marlena maintained a stoic front with her self-absorbed children—each eager to discuss only themselves—I found myself anticipating a quiet scene of her breaking down alone in her office. It wasn’t meant to be; I can’t fault the writers for not filming the scene I envisioned nine months after the fact. Yet, Marlena’s solitude stayed with me. She stands surrounded by family and friends, but as the pillar of strength they all lean on, she is left with no one to support her now that John is gone.
    • Today's episodes of GH and BTG showcase that when you have great writing,production, and performances, you achieve  great soap opera. Bravo.

      I thought it was the doctor that freed her from the closet
    • The show must have edited/rearranged scenes, or else the spoilers were wrong.  This is what was spoiled for what aired this week: Monday, April 28 – Episode #044 Naomi struggles to gain the trust of her new client. Ashley and Derek adjust to their new living arrangement. Leslie launches her latest scheme against the Duprees. Tues., April 29 and Wed. April 30 BTG preempted due to CBS live coverage of UEFA Champions League soccer. Thursday, May 1 – Episode #045 The Duprees kick off Ted and Nicole's anniversary party. Eva tries one last time to keep her mother in check. Kat inches closer to unearthing the conspiracy that threatens to shatter the family's big night. Friday, May 2 – Episode #046 Ted and Nicole's anniversary party is a night the family won't soon forget. Ashley and Derek juggle the messy realities of moving in together. Bill braces for his part in Ted's deception to come to light. ---------- The changes: Monday April 28 Naomi and her client were not in the episode. Instead, Chelsea met with Allison from her threesome. Friday May 2 Thankfully no Ashley and Derek.

      Thanks for the heads up
    • That tidbit of Leslie giving Martin a brownie at Orphey Gene's and then telling him when he was little she gave him brownies was soooooooo good.   Fantastic show today 
    • Best episode of "BTG" since its premiere. I thought it was Andre.
