Damn that hairy chest and pecs. I love his backside too.

Those shorts must have been Xander because they were big on him.

Gwen and Alex zzz zzz zzz zzz zzz

I was laughing at the fact Talia/Colin's entire set of scenes were done in their underwear.  They looked good, but that must have been super uncomfortable for them lol.  

I don't know why Alex/Gwen even started if they were just going to immediately end it.  I guess to give Alex a good guy edit?  But there aren't any stakes here.  Gwen might be bummed for a few days, but she'll be fine.  Also, it was a real stretch to compare the relationships of Stephanie/Alex to Xander/Gwen.  Even if I hated Xander/Gwen they were going to get married.  Stephanie/Alex hooked up one time-not the same level of heartbreak there.  

The Chloe/Brady/Leo/Xander stuff is stupid.  The story is all wrong, but I do think PT and NB have chemistry.

Overall a dull show.  I felt bad for Chanel and I don't really get why Colin wants Talia to break her heart again.  She's already broken hearted over a romance.  I don't know why Talia has to date her.  Just become Chanel's best friend and confidant.  I can tell I have been more sad over friendships falling apart than like half of my romances lol.

Leo is an embarrassment. There is no reason for him to be on the show.

This show is so damn stale. Its awful. 

What happened to more edge to this show?

You apparently haven't seen Jasper Newman(Colin) short film.

He appears nude in it.

So I doubt he was uncomfortable.

The ending was disgusting!

Carlivati ripping off YR with Adam a straight person seducing a gay/bi person for pure cruelty.

I actually was thinking more about the actress that plays Talia.  She seemed uncomfortable just hanging out in her bra while being forced to seduce a woman to be mean when she's not even bi or gay.

Leo literally does the same thing every episode.  Make bad jokes.  Spend money.  Ogle at straight men.  He's not a character.  He's a walking joke.  And, let's be honest, I don't particularly like GR, but the man can actually act and is being wasted on this wacky stereotype.

I thought of that after I posted: Ah, yes, boarding school.  So he can come out a disgruntled, angsty teen. 

(I'm not ready to accept seeing Chloe as the mother to a teenager, but Belle/Shawn's kid is like nearly 30 at this point, so...)

Yep.

Chloe can afford a boarding school for her son, but can’t afford a place to live. Unless she’s pulling a Leo and having Craig pay

That’s what I was saying. Now that they’re streaming, I wish they would go deeper and grittier with their storylines, instead of doing the same stuff.

Brady should give Rachel a beating. He could fall off the wagon as a result or Rachel could be taken away by CPS. 

Alex should be changing his life not because we gotta have Ben/Marlena 2.0 but because he got an STD or something or suddenly realizes that he’s a sex addict. 

It could be so good if they’d do more with each story.

In other news, Marlena, who once f'ed John on a conference table during a party, in order to console him over the death of Isabella, within view of her daughter, and just last week avoided calling the same daughter to tell her that she is back from the dead because she was having canoodling in the tub, is advising Alex not to use sex as a distraction.

I actually assumed Parker has some sort of trust from Daniel and Chloe's just not touching that.  She mentioned she had a savings and that's more than anyone else on this show says, so I'll assume Chloe might have money put away specifically for her child. 

Eh, I am going to give Marlena on pass on that because I don't think that reflects on her ability to assess someone else for her job.  I am not going to deny evidence suggests Marlena might not be the best shrink, but I don't think she's wrong about Alex.  Honestly, I would find the fact Marlena gets kidnapped, possessed, dies, etc several times a year more concerning because she misses a lot of appointments.  Screwing John on a conference table is one of her least offensive actions.  This woman actively could not tell her husbands apart for years.

She's more of a Dear Abby than an Anna Freud - all advice, no analysis - makes me wonder if anyone on the writing staff has been in therapy

While I agree, (to paraphrase Rizzo from Greece), that there are worse things she could do, it did screw up Sami for many years

I'd feel MUCH worse for Sami if she didn't blame Marlena/John having an affair for all her own poor actions for decades.  And if Sami still didn't bring up to this day.  John and Marlena have been married 25 years and Belle is about 40 now lol.  Get over it!

Laura and Kim have also been on the psychiatric staff throughout the years and were literally institutionalized at different points.  I'd actually say until JER the writers tried to take Marlena's job seriously.  After that it became a joke.

    • 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.
