Watching the actors playing Curtis and Curtis's father eyes glaze over as they recite this dull as dirt dialogue is torture. They sound so bored. I barely understand how they're all related but thank god Aunt Stella is here because those two plus RoboJordan are like watching paint dry.

As I've said before, Curtis has sounded like an Epcot greeter for years. He is beyond boring and his father is worse.

I will say seeing four black women in a scene together was a sight to behold. I can’t remember the last time any soap had four black women on at once. I guess GH is it, but before Portia joined the show? Passions?

OLTL had Rachel, Destiny, Layla and Vivian Wright (who dated Shaun) on at the same time in '09-'10, not that I thought much of most of their stories. Vivian was a recurring role but frankly it's about as substantive as most of what they give Jordan or Stella.

Okay big points to OLTL that none of those women are related.

"The role of Nikolas Cassadine will now be played by Adam Huss."

The most beautiful words we've heard! And the "will now be played by" make it sound permanent!

Woof, Adam Huss is not gonna cut it permanently.

This is kind of ridiculous, but did Nikolas call Caroline because she has access to some memory erasing drug like the one she used on Liz? Or, just because she's unethical so he might be able to rely on her support?  Don't the Cassadines still have access to whatever technology was used to erase Drew's memory (or was that too expensive)?  It just feels like this Caroline callback is unnecessary, especially because Nikolas spent months protecting Esme's fetus and now he wants to inject her with some untested drug.

It reeks of a last minute let's-get-rid-of-Nik story and we'll worry about the logic, motive, and response later.  But, maybe that's just because we're privy to the BTS drama.

Spoiler

I going to predict that on Friday Heather will see Nik trying to harm Esme, she'll hook him, go on the run with Esme, they'll bond when Heather helps her give birth, they'll switch the baby with Willow's and try to resolve the plot by framing the hook on someone else - maybe Ryan or Dex

Woof indeed. Coloma barely passed muster. Not to be too superficial but Tyler Christopher was achingly beautiful and dark and brooding...these two, especially Huss, ain't cutting it.

Spoiler

BTW Victoria and Nate kissed today on Y&R. A white woman and black man have now kissed on the most conservative soap left on air.

While Spencer and Trina can't even admit they're more than friends. Make it make sense.

Nope, too much!

If Nik gets hooked I hope its not fatal but enough damage that he needs to recoup elsewhere until a permanent recast can occur.

Well, I take it from the chatter that that means that Nik won't be killed off. 

 

At least for now.

 

So does that mean AH is finishing off the storyline or...just for now though? I guess time will tell. 

Yeah, that DNA test website storyline was definitely another one that was changed half way through. 

And why is Trina even giving that trashy, heartless whore the time of day? I hope Trina cuts her out of her life the moment she finds out what she did to Cam.

This. Not her ethics. 

 

They actually did foreshadowing with this a week and a half ago. It stuck out in a scene between Nik and Liz because they had not touched on Liz vs her parents since Jeff left town. As soon as Liz mentioned it and left and the camera panned to Nik's face you knew the wheels were turning.

Well, she finally knows. Cam didn't really want to talk about it but Spencer couldn't abide her being in the dark when they are supposedly best friends & roomies. She was entirely startled, maybe even as bad as shocked.
