Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane!

Ugh, I hope this is not the last of Tripp! I'm from the D.C. area and "the Exorcist steps" in Georgetown is a local attraction. Had Tripp taken a tumble down a flight of stairs after he jumped out of the window just like in the movie would have been thoroughly satisfying. The last time a soap character took a great fall down a staircase was Dorian on OLTL when Viki's alter Tommy gave her a great push.

I am glad Linsey Godfrey is cancer-free after she battled Stage III Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I find myself easily distracted by the visible tattoo located on her neck. What is so weird is that when Sarah got her memory back from the hospital after taking Dr. Kayla's 3-minute miracle antidote, Sarah Horton shortly became tolerable for a second. Now, the actress is back to being annoying as all holy hell. Thankfully, the tattoo on her neck helps me overlook everything, so I guess the tattoo serves as a blessing in disguise. I wish Maggie would have cut her hair sooner when Sarah was doodling around with crayons, but I'll take it for its worth. Dr. Rolf and Dr. Kayla Johnson should be in an antidote competition reality show as these antidote concoctions are dope AF. 

Nothing against sexual promiscuity, but two recent scenes with Nicole remind me how much of a whore she is. If she were more of an unapologetic whore, I would have more respect for her. The first scene was with Eric when he inquired about her relationship with E.J., and Nicole replied that she was not with E.J. but now with Rafe. As fast-paced and as these forgettable storylines pan out, thinking of the period of Nicole/Zander, Nicole/E.J., and Nicole/Rafe is quite the doozy. I believe all three instances occurred within one and a half months of each other, but not exactly sure. The second scene was yesterday when Sarah asked Nicole why she was no longer with Eric, and all Nicole had to do was reply that she was a whore, and that's it.

It is nice to see Peter Reckell again but rather annoyed at the audio effects used for angel Bo, as the show uses the same audio effect for flashback scenes. I clearly do not understand why he chose to return to the show. I do not mean to get far ahead, but Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso definitely had their reasonings back then, and I do not understand what makes it so different now. Hey, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. How many times exactly has this been again? Still, this weird vibe feels the same vis-à-vis Grant Alexander when he returned as Philip Spaulding on Guiding Light. 

When I was a teenager, I used to love murder mysteries on soaps, and as I got older, all I had to do to solve a soap murder mystery was figure out who had a contract with the show and those who didn't. Now, I have no clue, and I don't know if the writers are treating this TR Coates murder as a mystery or not. So far, Rafe and Steve know that the gun present at the scene of the crime was a police gun, but no autopsy so far. So, if the writers are trying to spin this thing around, perhaps revealing a different gun weapon was used to kill TR Coates, watch it be somebody stupid like Beth, lol! She was crawling on the floor of the hallway and seized her moment. And you know what? I really don't care.

    • Christian Streaty penned today's Day's script. https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-streaty/
    • Yes, they did.  I still have them.  I think there were three.  AMC and GH as well.
    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
