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.

Bo is the youngest of the Brady kids.

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 you don't wish Tripp was related to you lol

I liked Hope/Harris today too.  They really do have chemistry.  I think Steve is doing a good job with this character.  It was a little too Jason Morgan lite at first, but he's definitely doing more now. 

I liked Marlena's outfit today.  She should dress like that more often.  Much more flatter than her usual suits.

Good episode today!

I guess I had never considered how scandalous it was that Caroline carried on an affair with Victor while having three small kids at home.  And then stayed married to Shawn for decades afterward with the plan to never tell him about Bo's conception.

Kayla's tearful response to Victor's letters is confusing knowing those facts.

Talk about a character who got an unjust romantic revival.  Victor's treatment of Carly, Kim, and Kate was pretty gross.

I agree and it always seemed like such an odd pairing.  Given Victor's choices for partners over the years, I have a hard time imagining him going for someone like Caroline.  And by all accounts, Shawn was a good husband and father.  Very scandalous!  

I also agree Kayla's reaction was a little odd, but considering the words were about two actors that have passed away, I'll give her leeway.  This seems to be filmed right around the time JA died.  I also think it might be sad or bittersweet to hear someone profess their undying love to your mother even if that man is Victor.

If Tripp was my brother, I think I’d need some therapy sessions with Dr. Evans 😂😂😂

I just really liked that act though. He dropped everything to go be with Joey. That’s really admirable 😊

As for Steve Burton, him finally acting in a different style is why I enjoyed it so much. And you can tell he enjoys working with Kristian Alfonso. Him doing something different allows him to show his range as an actor. Yeah, he’s not the absolute best. But he’s far from the absolute worst.

Lol!  

It was a nice act.  I like Johnny, but Tripp is the catch here. 

I have always thought Steve had more range than what he was given as Jason.  Even when he played comedy with Spinelli and Brenda, you could tell Steve had ability outside the stone cold persona and he once again proves he can generate chemistry with his leading ladies.  Idk, he's probably not the greatest guy, but he is a decent soap actor.

Well tbf, you can use this to describe a lot of actors 😂😂

Very true.  SBu is just a little more publicly obnoxious lol.  But you know we both have a little bit of a soft spot for him🤷‍♀️🤣

The ISA is a very confusing agency.

They're a secret international spy organization whose offices have huge signs on the buildings so people know where they work.

And today we learned that they write press releases about using shock therapy on US military personnel in order to deprogram them.

Not very sneaky...

The Bo story is just horrible. I wish they hadn't brought PR back for this mess. His acting is atrocious too.

Hope and Harris are so painful to watch too.

So far the Kayla letter reading has been zzzzzzzzz

Ron always ruins any favorite character's return with lousy writing.

At least Chad and Tripp looked hot today.

I've always thought new Stephanie was beautiful too.

The Marlena scenes were muffled today. I wonder why some scenes are like that.

But it was nice to see Brady go to her to see what could be done about his horrible child. I do hate all this talk about there being nothing that Brady can do about it because that’s crap. 

Btw, I don’t really see any chemistry between Chloe and Xander. 

The Steve/Kayla reunion was nice, but there should have been more. They spent most of their scenes talking about Bo.

Epic failure on both accounts.

Whoever is in charge of sound is dropping the ball.

I felt since yesterday that the Steve and Kayla reunion was a mess and ruined.

Bo kidnapping Kayla and now Steve is ridiculous!

I can't believe Ron has seemingly bungled Bo's return. 

So is Bo just brainwashed? Seems like an easy fix.

I can't believe Steve has the audacity to talk about the subject of poor while overlooking Kayla's flanel.

I just wonder why it’s only one set of characters and scenes that sounds like that each episode
