Selena Wu opened her mouth & out poured, "The negative publicity you will receive for exploiting a grieving mother, ..." And, instantly, Haven stopped her diatribe against Deception & said something like "Of course." through gritted teeth. Selena Wu rocks!

And, Cynthia Watros can cry & weep & wail & gasp for breath with tears everywhere, like the best of them. I thought it was just like Nina to make it all about her. And, Sonny took a new step on the romantic emotional courtship when he said, "You won't ever have to be alone. I will be with you."

I heard that Morgan Fairchild was hand-picked for the role. Figures as she was perfect! She called everyone either "Honey" or "Oh, Honey" or Yes, Honey". That way she can get your attention without having to learn your name.

I enjoyed today's Rorina's scenes. Trina looked pretty today in her dress. They continue to style TA well. I liked that her and Rory got to bond a little more and that they kissed a couple of times. It's been a while since she's really got to kiss anyone, it was nice to see her have that romantic moment today with him. And I liked that Spencer showed up and witnessed them kissing. I still like Sprina, but I like Rorina as well. I hope they pick up the pace a bit more with this storyline and continue to develop this triangle.

I also enjoyed Sam/Dante today. They continue to be comfortable with each other and have easy chemistry. It was nice to see some romance on the show today. This show has been really lacking regarding romantic moments lately.

RC even gave Luke a DID storyline.  Which was absolutely ridiculous and such a waste of a story actually exploring Luke and Bobbie’s past with their parents.

The show is just so boring.  As has been the case repeatedly with the current creative team, there are bones of good story there, but it often gets detailed by FV pets, wasted time away from actual favorite characters, and pairings that make no sense.

I really like both Sprina and Rorina and I hope that triangle gets kicked into high gear once Esme is found out and Spencer finally kicks her ass to the curb 

Austin just needs to go away. 

And I love Britt not having any time for Cody's crap.

WHY ELIZABETH'S ILLNESS SHOULD NOT BE DID
 
First and foremost, neither Frank Valentini nor Ron Carlivati should ever be allowed to touch on the subject of DID. The horrendous Jessica/Tessica/Wes Messica One life to Live story which completely rewrote the character of Jessica's childhood-- that took place on screen- speaks volumes about their ineptitude.  Abby/Gabi on Days shows the same, as well as Kate /Connie "Fuckaneri" nightmare on GH. Then there was Fluke.  Viki/Niki on OLTL was the gold standard in 1995. but any of these examples are the gold standard of how NOT to do a DID storyline.

If anything, the writers (not #firefrank) should dig into the obvious throughline of Elizabeth's life. Abandonment and Loss. Here is a character that has lost everyone she has ever been close to.
 
Jeff and Caroline Webber- dropped her on his step-mother's doorstep.
Sarah- left for California
Stephen Lars   in jail in Tennessee for the death of barely a character Maggie Wurth
Lucky   left her more than twice
Laura-  catatonic for years
Emily     dead
Jake kidnapped and presumed dead
Nikolas presumed dead and barely acknowledges her since his return
Franko-- dead
Jason     buried under rubble
 
And it goes on and on.  The character has been left behind and/or abandoned as a throughline to her character.
Please, not another round of DID.    Not in the INCAPABLE hands of #firefrank....

    • I’ve been enjoying the pace the show has taken recently. Things don’t languish as long as they have and if they are drawing something out, like Gio’s adoption, it’s hasn’t been as excruciating. Also, my nosey nature would appreciate less interaction with posters I have on ignore so I don’t have to click on “options”.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
