Yeah, Caroline was definitely the type of Mother-in-Law with a thumb so hard on her son's neck that their wives had to pretend to like everything she made. 

I mean, you can't tell me that Hope, who grew up on the cooking of Robert LeClair, was really down for Caroline's chowder.  And, I seriously doubt that Roman's cooking is any better.

I actually am shocked someone like Kate would put up with Chowder and a room above the Pub.  Although I will say I really like Clam Chowder, so I am not judging.  I don't ever think Roman was exactly the best choice to run the Pub, but it's just by default I suppose.  Someone like Kim would work a lot better.

I know this is well trod territory, but Kate and Roman are an especially odd coupling given everything that she's done to Sami.  It is ironic that Sami still hold a grudge against John, meanwhile her beloved father married the woman who almost got her executed on death row!

That being said, I like the chemistry between the two actors and I enjoy their love story.

I don't think Sami approves of or even likes Kate.  Sami has genuinely always been against it.  It's easy to ignore when she's not around.  I think the show just really likes to hang on to the John/Sami rivalry and plays it up.  I also think you can put a lot of it on John being part of Sami's childhood trauma and she in particular likes to blame all her bad choices on that.   I think the show cares a lot more about John/Marlena vs. Roman/Kate.  Not Kate, the shows seems invested in Kate, but just Roman in general.  I don't personally think Roman ever gets a strong point of view on Kate's misdeeds or much of anything lol.  I have often thought it was incredibly rude John/Marlena have date nights and anniversaries at the Pub as well.  I know bygones and all, but seriously? 

 I actually don't mind Kate/Roman either though.

Today, I actually found the Whitley story interesting. Too bad it couldn’t be like this more often. And I still don’t the point of all the Body and Soul crap. Glad that that’s over. 

And I was glad to see Stephanie call Alex out on all of his crap. She was definitely written intelligently today. Just because Alex is hot doesn’t mean his behavior is ok

I might have had some sympathy for him, but it always comes down to RSW’s portrayal. He still has some trouble playing sympathetic. 

I still hope this storyline continues like this though. No one has to be dumbed down in order to make it work.

I was glad to see Lani. She's sorely missed on the show.

Glad I missed all of the Whitley story. Glad it ended today. The ending was so anticlimactic. Deidre acting today was awful. The apartment is filling up with gas yet everyone is calm about it and apparently it doesn't take anyone down.  No one bothered to shut off the gas or call backup to help out. What a mess.

Alex aka Ben 2.0 is still stalking Stephanie. They should've just fired RSW. He is useless on this show.

I'm just so glad it's over! They're still going to have to play out Abe's status. At the bare minimum he's going to be confused. If he is over his amnesia then it is just going to be explaining the kidnapping & hostage situation. 

The actress who plays Jada is so good at all the cop stuff. From entering with gun drawn to reading of Miranda rights, she just nails it all. 

Yeah, finally Steph lit into Alex. When she speaks up, she makes the right points. Alex the jerk who is in therapy. What an effin joke he is.

If they had to keep RSW I have no idea why they just didn't keep him as Ben.  Ciara and Ben could still have their happy ending, but we just see Ben a lot more.  VK can film her usual few weeks and Days can just spread out her appearances and say she's off visiting Bo a lot.  Sonny and Will did it for months.  Maggie is still married to Victor and in stories without Victor being in her scenes.   Now, I have no idea where you go with Ben as a character, but it seems a heck of a lot easier than creating an entirely new annoying character for him and just hope the audience likes the character and doesn't think it's extremely jarring. 

It's been months and pretty much everyone on this board agrees Alex sucks.  If I were Days I would just quietly cut my losses and fire RSW or bring Ben back.  Obviously we wouldn't see these changes until 2025, but it would be nice to know it was coming.

      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.

      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.

      It does seem cheap and lazy for this show to have just one family. Passions was heavily criticized but it was nicely structured with a total of four families.

      I think it was definitely a surprising reveal in the storyline. I had a hard time appreciating Evan because I couldn't get behind his interest in Amanda. But that's because I never thought Sandra Ferguson made her a compelling character (although to give her credit she occasionally had decent emotional scenes with Mac or Rachel).

      I'll even go further... I'll make her re-think BeLief and create a new patent. Brooke needs stuff to do. Anything other than beg or be in her panties. We need her to be creative. But sadly Bradley has a very low opinion of these characters. To him Brooke is nothing more than sex and scandal... or a pathetic doormat. Ridge is nothing more than a chauvinist pig that needs to pit women against each other to feel like A MAN and Steffy is nothing more than her father's guard-dog. I don't even want to open my mouth about Hope. She is such a fiasco in my opinion... I will not suffer if they kill her off. Bradley pooped on her character and now it's too late to fix it. Annika is great and I would hate to see her go, but slutty Hope was not her thing. The vibe was missing.

      I've seen Jason interact with Mitch and annoy him. That's as far as I recall. I didn't even have a slight idea that Evan had a vendetta against Rachel... That came as a surprise to me. I thought Evan was Iris's dog and that's it. Now he's definitely more interesting.

      Thanks for these. I can't recall -- did Evan's vendetta have any position on Mitch, or was it all about Rachel? @Maxim have you seen any Frames intreracting with Mitch in any way?

      Uh-oh. Today just might’ve been the first Paula/Jeanne stinker. I have a feeling whose fault that might be though. So, Doug III is getting a job at the Pub?  It’s good to see him interact with other characters. I enjoyed his scenes with Roman, even though the talk of Frankie and Max seemed a little random. And it also could be really interesting now that Tate knows. Days really need to start pushing their rivalry again. We need some follow up from the punch. Tying it all to Holly, to Sophia’s pregnancy, to the guys that Doug III owes money to could be good.  But yeah, wayyy too much Leo again in today’s episode. Seriously, has anything changed with this nothing character? I thought it was all Ron’s fault, but maybe Greg Rikaart is (partially) responsible for Leo being so insufferable.  And yeah seriously, Rafe needs to throw all of these people out of his house. Including Gabi

      But I do wonder who’s the mysterious voice that Gabi overheard with EJ on the night he was shot. Based on yesterday’s episode, I have a suspicion.
