She needs something different to do. Hopefully,

Kristen will play a part in that storyline.

Agreed.

He does take them too far, and because of that, I don't really care what happens to any of them. Leo, Kristen, Gwen, Ava, Gabi, even Allie lol I'm tired of all of them.

I liked Gwen as I thought she was nice, but then, seeing her live in that meth motel with the ship painting and tacky wood wall paneling, I immediately lost interest in the character. For the love god, that room even had a 4-inch full-size foam mattress topper that was placed on top of a king-sized bed. Tack-o-rola.

So, Cass left Bay City and become the Salem City Council President. I hope he's still married to Lila

I have to admit Eric and Sloan have chemistry. And I do like that they drew a parallel between the two of them over them both losing something that meant so much to them.

A good episode overall, but who the hell wrote Rafe and Jada's scenes today? Half the time I was cringing.

The Cass Winthrop reference was the level of "in-joke" that works for me. If you caught it and got the reference, it was a fun little treat. If you didn't, it was just a name said in passing. At least they didn't bring the scene to a screeching halt like they usually do so that Abe and Paulina could have a random, ridiculous discussion of how Cass used to work in Bay City and had done business in Oakdale and Springfield and, oh, remember that lady Felicia he used to hang out with...?

I meant to put a comment under the pics but I guess I didn't. 

It's just interesting to see the stills/screencaps.  In his youth, GV was a model, and he seems to still know how to pose.  But that's how it looks when you freeze the frame and there is no sound - I don't think he intended it that way, LOL.  He can't help being gorgeous in the stills.

But I realize he was acting the role of a hungover angry man. And when I watch the episodes this week I see someone who is just angry and spiteful, which I hadn't expected from Eric.  I found it sad to watch, but GV said an interview that he wanted that type of challenge.

It is interesting that in contrast to Sami and Brady, Eric seems isolated from his mother and father.

Has he told Roman or Marlena about the abortion, or his troubles with Nicole, or even that he was arrested? 

Brady would have been crying in John's chest all week. I mean they can't even get Brady to move out of the penthouse for more than a few months at time.  Meanwhile, Eric doesn't seem that close to his parents.

Good point.  Although, I have never felt Eric was super close to Marlena or Roman.  Maybe it's because GV never truly clicked with them and Eric was gone for so long.  We watched Carrie/Sami/Belle/Brady grow up or at least watched their teen years.  Eric showed up as an adult and has always felt more removed and independent from his family.  I don't even buy his bond with Sami.   I'd almost say it's part of his character, but I doubt the writers have that depth.

    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get. While I agree with those on here that he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.

    • Ah! Good to hear. Isn't it especially odd to think that house fictionally exists not far from the Karrs?  Or, that it was designed non-fictionally by the same person who designed April's place?
    • Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. Strange and awkward, and I don't know what they're doing with those fades.   -- Finally, had to laugh at how many Emmys this board passed out today.

    • Not unless they live in an apartment complex.

    • That was bad. Product placement is fine, but not here, not now. Besides, no one carries their damn detergent to the living room.   Completely and utterly disagree. I thought Brandon Claybon was excellent today -- maybe his best performance since the show started. No recast needed.   Not unpopular with me. That didn't work. The montage was good, but 5 minutes of Amazing Grace? With all those verses? No. What kind of family breaks into a loud version of Amazing Grace after what just happened??? None. Anita's lecture to Leslie was great. Ending the show -- a really good episode with crackling dialogue -- like that was a mistake.  
    • Today, was a fantastic episode. I loved everything about, including Ainta singing, Amazing Grace. I love the family dynamic of the Dupree's so much. They remind me of my own family at times. Martin & Smitty have come leaps and bounds from where they  started. I genuinely felt a connection between them I can't wait to watch it deepen. Dana/Leslie/Sherry/Ana is a piece of work. Her speech at the Dupree's about her "concern" for Eva and then locking her out of their apartment??? She is pure evil, but I love it. I can't wait to see where the Eva/Kat story goes. There's so much potential there. As for Ted, I need to see Keith Robinson in the role before giving my true critique of Maurice Johnson.
    • I don't recall that we ever saw the exterior of the Madison house.  BUT the interior is definitely Mission Revival.  It has a wrought-iron staircase, and all the doorways & corridors have archways.  I watched a few old episodes over the weekend from that period and really noticed for the first time how uniquely Mission Revival the set is.  
    • I know Daphnee's back hurts, because she was carrying Maurice through those scenes! Still not loving the idea of replacing the actor, but he was giving very little.  Brandon's scenes with Leslie did not hit the way they were supposed to because I was busting out laughing.  One thing I enjoy about this soap is how it plays with the nuance of good and evil. Kat vs Eva and Anita vs Leslie. There are some things that Kat and Anita said that makes it hard to root for them and how the Duprees can be family over everything to a fault. It almost makes them come across as entitled and unlikely at times. And while what Lesile and Eva have done is wrong in different ways, you can see that hurt and sympathize.  Now, what I don't get is what Lesile thought she was doing expecting the Duprees to accept Eva with open arms. Honey, Eva is a Richardson not a Dupree. In the Dupree world, she's Ted's problem unless they choose otherwise, because there ain't a drop of Dupree blood coursing throught her veins (unless we learn otherwise in some twist). Ted is lucky if they don't disown his ass.
