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.

      I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.

      Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.

      Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.

      I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.

      So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows.

      The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.

      So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.
