I'm just baffled at the lack of what's the word for it? I guess when it comes to storytelling, I miss the good ol' days of soaps. With this Eric, Donna, and Quinn stuff, I'm not getting any falling action or resolution to the actual story. Or, was there a story besides a container of honey?

The "better family"?? What? LOL  Comments like that is very stan wars-y.  Taylor just tried to be friends with Sheila.   "Celebrate infidelity" - like Eric cheating on Quinn, who was cheating on him.  The countless times Ridge cheated. I'm sure Steffy cheated before too.  Thomas had his psycho phase.  No family is "better" than the other.  And what's with the constant name calling/bashing of the Logans in every single post?  It's another stan wars-y thing, so please try to reign it in a little.  I'm not saying you can't criticize certain characters, just try to be less stan wars-y.  I didn't like the Taylor vs Brooke or Forresters vs Logan back-and-forth here a couple weeks back.  SON is stan wars free zone.

Sheila literally cut her toe off to fake her death and yet she's hanging around Deacon?  Why? What does she need him for?  Did I miss something?

LOL! Perhaps she's sexually frustrated. I think a fellow poster questioned her financial resources and so far, she has mentioned that she has a lot of money to help Deacon financially, but I don't get it either. Hell, we just saw Hope barge in there unannounced. So, I think it's time that a lightbulb finally flicker inside their brains and realize to start locking the front door at all times. 

I don't know the name of the restaurant where Deacon works at, but the management needs to step up their game. If Ridge wants to get all Barney bad ass, then he can do at the privacy of his own home or at Deacon's while Shelia sits on the toilet taking a big ol' poot.

If I were customer at that establishment, I sure wouldn't want to hear some blathering lunatic flap his mouth while I'm trying to enjoy my fish tacos. That's just plain harrassment right there.

Steffy cheated before too??  LOLL.  She jumped in bed with Why-not ASAP because Liam didn't return a text. I remember that much about the pre-Adam and Eve thing/bump on the head accident/oops I'm actually off to Australia to see Ivy home in the plane bathroom.

You’re the one who brought up the Logan’s infidelity. LOL  I’m just saying one family isn’t “better” than the other.  They’ve all done crappy things.  To say one is better than the other is absolutely ludicrous.

I know I'm the drolling down trodden drum because of my negativity but - I've said, Sheila can never be killed off, so there's no interest for me there.  They've made it so they can never be without her - they need a character to dumb everyone down, and that's what they do every time.  To me at least, she literally looked like they do with Clark Kent and Super girl too....they put on a pair of glasses on and no one knows who they are. 

Although I was tired of Quinn, and I don't really watch often, Rena kind of deserved more than that if she's gone.  I'll have to look up today's episode and see what they did at least on that front.

    • 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.
