Oh yes! 

The tables and chairs in the middle of the square , used to have waiters that would bring you food/coffee. I think it had a name @JAS0N47 does that still have a restaurant name?

Perhaps the square is now just the square (indoor mall) with tables and chairs (like a food court) where people eat takeout from Sweet Bits?

I enjoyed Friday's episode. I mean, it wasn't mindblowing or anything, but compared to Thurday's episode, it was significantly better. So yeah, I agree that the show feels like it's written by different writers or something. Like, the "pros" are in charge of the storylines involving Marlena, John, Meghan, Steve, etc., while the "rookies"  who want their 5-minutes of fame and more experience are in charge of the sh*ttier  storylines. Sh*tty storylines like Paulina/Sloan/Chanel or Stefan/Gabi/Li. Oh, another sh*tty storyline is Johnny/Wendy/Tripp and I am tired of seeing the flanel. It's like the wardrobe department went into a merchadise store where they had a "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" kind of deals. Enough with it. It's been done and it needs to stop. 

The reason why I didn't care for Thursday's episode was because it was flat as a pancake, especially the whole scene with Sloan and Paulina at Horton Square and the townspeople involved. It was just dumb and the acting didn't help either. In a strange way, I had an instant connection to the movie Dirty Dancing where Jennifer Grey's character said: "I carried a watermelon."

 

But, I try not to judge.

Did they really bring Ciara back just to let the audience know she is once again an incubator for a serial killer's baby? That girl is as useless as ever. And RSW has no business playing two characters. My god. 

The Li actor is hilariously bad (but pretty), so naturally he's on almost every day. He and Gabi have the same scenes 5 days a week. I'm glad they randomly inserted Trask into this story because otherwise it's a chore to watch. 

The Sloan actress is right up there with Remington. Absolutely dreadful yet they keep giving her tons of airtime and dramatic material. She and Eric are painful together. 

Wendy is bland AF and I don't care what guy she chooses. 

Gwen and my boy Leo need to go. It's past time. 

Not even gonna say anything about the Bo Kiriakis/Hope/Jason Morgan stuff. 

The show is not good, but here I am still watching and paying for it.

Finally caught up.

This show is really bad.

The Bo stuff is just horrible. The ending with Steve was a great cliffhanger but the storyline is just horrific. Involving Alex in the mess made zero sense. I guess Ron has to get his gay male fantasy of RSW involved in every possible story. 

The Stephanie and Tripp scenes were nice.

It was great seeing Andrew.

 

As for Thursday's show.....I have no words...but

Why didn't EJ confront Gabi and Stefan?  The story stinks anyway so I shouldn't even care.

Oh and the Sloan Peterson story has got to be one of the worst acted and written.

Tripp is such a good big brother. I wish I had a brother like him

I’m glad that they’re weaving Chad and Stephanie into the Bo storyline. It should have some more younger characters in involved in it. 

The scenes with Victor’s letter seemed kind of random at first, but then I ended up really enjoying them. I thought it was a nice little tribute to Victor/JA. I wonder when they were written, before or after he passed. And I also wonder if Mary Beth Evans’ tears were real. I’m looking forward to her scenes tomorrow. 

And I also enjoyed Hope and Harris today. This was the most un-Jason like he’s ever been and I’ll always like it when an actor acts in a different style than what they’re used to, like Drake Hogestyn at the pride party in BS2 .

It was good to see them just having fun. 

Also, was the Taverna owner played by the guy who played the janitor in The Breakfast Club?

I know trying to apply logic to this plot is a fool's errand, but, if the Thomas Banks information was just a red herring, doesn't that negate Megan's plea agreement?  So, why would she risk getting what she wants by giving false information?

@Noel I was also questioning the age of the house.  Assuming that Victor lived there last after he impregnated Caroline with Bo, it must be around that many years old (50?).  Because he clearly left at some point to start his business.

But, I always forget if Bo is number two or three of Caroline's kids. Did Victor want her to abandon Roman (and Shawn) to come live in a shack in Greece?  No wonder she returned the letter unopened.  I'd rather live above a fish market than in that one room shack (even if it has its own wine cellar).

Also, I'm intrigued by this side plot of everyone remembering Hope throwing plates at the tavern (which seems very un-Hope-like) when she said it didn't happen.  If this is about Princess Gina, then it is an unbelievable amount of times to return to that well.

I like to refer to it as the restaurant where Jennifer fell out the window. 

Yes, yes, yes. Their Salem stuff (as opposed to Beyond) is weak sauce. There really is no viable couple to root for. 

And please, let's just cut our losses with Stefan. The only thing interesting about him is Vivian and she's not here.

    • There are details through the thread, but yes, as mentioned, she hated Ellen Wheeler, and lambasted her for crying a lot, for her decisions with firing and Peapack, etc. Back in the day she also hated Pam Long, who created Reva and gave Reva all of her best material. The producers or writers she liked most seemed to be those who saw Reva in the most generic of molds, although she likely doesn't see it that way. She was OK on OLTL; I think @Vee could probably give a better summary. She was earthy and added her usual hard work to some trash material. There was nothing special going on, as yet again with patron saint Carlivati it was all plot, no character, and he cared more about writing for a cutesy child character.  You're right about what they could have done with Reva. Reva, Erica, and any women who are in story long enough face this problem. The biggest difference is Reva was allowed to age (even with the post-menopausal baby), which Erica was not.
    • Cali was the only Paulina for me on AW.  Was Judi Evans such a “name” that Cali was fired for her?  Judi basically played an entirely different character.  She could’ve been Nancy!
    • They were great together. Barbara was way too high maintenance for any man. You know Henry divorced her a$$ after about a year.  And, here’s an example of what I was talking about…
    • I watch every day as well, and I am enjoying the show. There's always room for improvement. TBH, things are much different from what I expected reading the character breakdowns. That could be a good thing! I'm willing to let them find their groove and figure out what kind of show it wants to be. The core and underlying theme. -I echo what a few others have said: The show is lacking in real romance and cross-starred lovers. But that tracks from (MVJ) experience cause the bell soaps are not good with romance IMO. -I have a feeling it's being built before our eyes, but we're missing that rival family. -I would prefer more variety of storylines. Good ones that could weave together the whole town.   -I struggle connecting to the male characters. So I hope they get a clear handle on them soon. Most of them feel underwritten and one-note. -Find a better purpose for Naomi. I fear she will be the first Dupree dumped. I completely agree. June's story does nothing for me. And what if she turns out to be Tyrell and Samantha's mom? They are very close to leaving high school. why should I care? If she turns out to be related to Hayley also, what's the long-term story, and why should I care? I believe Hayley can work on her own as a vixen. Does she need a sounding board? Sure, but you can accomplish that with an outsider's friend group. I didn't think I would be saying this, but I would entertain Kat having a forbidden affair with Jacob. Both Naomi and Jacob need something to do other than case-of-the-month storylines. 
    • That would really just be a redux of the Leslie/Eva story. I really hope they don't go there. My guess for the storyline with Anita that we have "never seen before on daytime" is that it may be a "me, too" story. Anita did unspeakable things to get ahead because of some disgusting producer, and the other person she left behind was a boyfriend who cared about her very much.
    • Reva and Zimmer needed strong adversaries/scene partners. It would dampen the negatives associated with the character and Zimmer's self-admitted excesses. I think that's why she was a bust on SB. I don't know how she did on her return to OLTL because I was not watching at that point. The problem for me with Reva is the same situation with Erica Kane. It ended up being variations of the same storyline year after year. I think if the show had truly broken up Reva and Josh and put them in other viable relationships it would have freed up the characters to have better storylines and character growth. Instead, it's as if the characters were stuck for decades.
    • I am still behind and know what upcoming week you are talking about.

       And I know I'm not ready and have not been since the official news. That was my first couple on that show. You won't be alone.    When you put it like that...same. Like I say in the thread when I'm more interested in what people are wearing than the stories...red flag. No momentum. Just stalling.      lol.
    • Y&R: 10% good, 90% garbage time BtG: 90% good, 10% garbage time
    • Valid question. Decades ago I didn't understand how this works, but then I learned.  But I never saw her as a romantic lead anyhow. I still dislike rapist Chelsea on Y&R.  And that show pairing her with her victim was just awful.
