How about not suggesting anything to Josh?

I completely about her breast cancer story…we should be thankful that the Pandemic break essentially killed it. 
 

I do think Sharon could have at least befriended Diane to give her something more to do as a talk to Diane and actually be the one person in town friendly to Diane. After all Sharon herself was pretending to be dead around the same time Diane had passed, had her own turbulent past with Jack and Phyllis, and both of them are arsonists. Otherwise Sharon is pretty much a modern day Aunt Liz from Another World at Crimson Lights.

I admit to feeling disappointed, but I think I see it a little bit different than the rest of you all.

 

I really cannot believe that Nate confessed already. Nate vs Devon has really been the storyline. And it had the potential to be a real umbrella story with everyone that it dragged in. The reason he did...his love for Elena...seems plausible BUT the execution was just flat after the buildup. It really could and should (and spoilers seem to hint it is not over) until at least November Sweeps. Unless now the storyline is going to turn into a Tucker story...

 

As for Tucker...Yeah, I can see it with him and Ashley. But I'll take Eileen Davidson anyway I can get her.

 

Was not expecting Adam to trick Sally into a date. When it comes to revenge, I would have expected anything, but that. Nice that his talk with Tucker made him take a softer approach.

Nate vs Devon is my favorite story on the show. The Winters/Barbers/Hastings haven’t had a story this juicy in a long time. Lily saying to Billy I thought we were different from the Abbott’s and Newman’s filled me with joy because they are finally giving this younger generation of the Winters/Barbers/Hastings the type of writing the Newman and Abbott kids constantly get.

Although you're right about Devon's hypocrisy, overall I thought the writing/logic for Devon was much stronger than it was for Nate.

Nate's "No one listened to me" is a really lame comment from someone in a business like C-W, and expecting to make autonomous moves is ridiculous on its face. Likewise, Nate lost me when he made a case that Devon's relationship with Neil was the problem -- I honestly could not follow that logic at all.

Devon not only had the obvious arguments on his side, but the writers gave him good dialogue. I don't think they fared nearly as well with Nate with one exception: when Nate talked about how Devon stole his life and career as a surgeon when he messed up his hand.

It really has been a minute since they had a juicy story.

 

And it all started with Nate and Elena sleeping together and Nate losing his hands...so to speak. And regardless of what Nate or even Devon have said...the subtext just seems to be there in the face. All we need is a Olivia visit but alas...

Hmmm...is that some chemistry I just saw between Victoria and Nate?

 

I'm always done for some feuding so Sally vs Summer could be something if her and Nick become serious. And thank you, Cameraman for 10-17.

It's funny it's been mentioned in the threads that CBS has been having promos/episodes being posted wrong. My tv system has been all over the place with what is airing and deleting episodes at chucks even when the episode just aired a day ago rather than its usual up for a week time. So in the interest of specific scenes I wanted to see, I'm caught up to this week. lol. 

 

LOVED the Nate vs Devon fight in the apartment. I loved that they had it all out. And it felt like it was ALL out...besides letting Devon know that VICTORIA was behind the takeover...and I've been saying that it goes all the way back to Nate, Elena, and Devon hurting his hand. Just...hmmmm. Yeah, they both had points, but what IT REALLY WAS ABOUT WAS THE FACT ELENA LEFT YOU FOR HIM AND YOU KILLED HIS CAREER. If anything they could have gone deeper with the resentment on both ends. 

 

THANK YOU, CAMERAMAN.

 But lord...Adam and Nick on the roof was just par the course. I do admit though I am curious at how messy this will get. Especially now that Victoria is throwing Nate into all the work drama. She's single, too, so...

 

So about that next turn in Diane's story...so basically it was Tucker that got us her return because he set her and Keemo/Allie on a collision course with each other which would lead back to her return and a chance to get Tucker closer to Ashley? Did I get that right? I liked seeing JH...though I cannot remember if it was mentioned that when the Feds started to close in if he was arrested. Perhaps he will pop up again as well. I have liked that slowly but surely the Abbots are learning about what they think Diane is up to.

 

Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about the takeover story now that the best part of it (Nate vs Devon) might not be a part of it going forward. It sounds like Victoria is still going to go after it. And Tucker is waiting in the wings...though he claimed to Devon he wouldn't.

 

Speaking of Tucker...I like that Allie is trying to be the bigger person, but she clearly is going to have to give Audra a good Ashley Abbott-style slap. 

 

Hmmmmm...Jill. She was great on the computer screen, but she is overdue to fire back in town. 

 

And just to add to the set conversation on the other page...in terms of Crimson Light...I wouldn't mind it being used like how Jabot kids and teenagers use to use it for a hangout. But of course we would need kids or teenagers running around, but alas...

It’s amazing how much more interested I am in Tucker now that an actor I actually have enjoyed for many years is in the role, age appropriate or not. I’ve never been emotionally attached to Stephen Nichols on DAYs and his Tucker was so unmemorable that I blanked out everything about his run outside of being Devon’s dad and Katherine’s son.

TSJ plays seething anger so well and can switch it on and off so well. The scenes with Diane at Crimson Lights with Diane were captivating today.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
