  • "Your lollipop licking cousin." Maura West delivered that line as if speaking for the audience, and that is brilliant.
  • So, this nobody prison warden is part of the Pikeman dealings? And is working for Cyrus Renault? Holy [!@#$%^&*]. These writers are brilliant. But, I wish someone like Alcazar were behind this. But Cyrus can/will be redeemed if he offs Mason and his lollipop licking ass.
  • Spencer & Trina do nothing for me. Sorry, but they do not.
  • These writers are giving Ava Jerome her TEETH back, and you can tell in how West is delivering her lines. It's brilliant.
  • Maurice Benard's son can go, please. I'm totally not into him being on the canvas.
  • No. Do not open the pool. That thing is DEADLY. You would think Olivia, out of everyone, would want the pool closed.
  • Upon debut, Cameron Mathison impressed me as Drew Cain... then they shaved his face, made him Ryan Lavery in Port Charles, and put him with Carly, with whom he barely was connected to once Jason Morgan returned to Port Charles.
  • West is supreme, and I am thankful this regime is giving her some meat to sink her teeth into, despite having to carry others around her. But Ava should be more frontburning, than supporting.
  • Yep. Just as I called it, Olivia is falling for Eddie; Lois will come back and interrupt that. Ned will come back, and she won't want him anymore. She'll want Eddie back. This is a mess.
  • The warden looks so fricken familiar... but I cannot put my finger on it.
  • Glad the truth is finally being told to Sasha... it was about time she was told. And let's hope it results in Gladys' downfall.
  • Good on Trina for valuing education, and not allowing Spencer to pull her away.
  • So, Tracy does NOT know Blair? Interesting!
  • Carly being so smug. Ew.

To me, Sprina was magical for a while. Lots of angst, lots of yearning romance, lots of chemistry. The writers RUINED all of that.

This is one of the worst decisions a soap has made about a young couple in years. I understand drama and conflict, but the story has basically put Spencer and Trina is different stories and different worlds, eliminating almost every chance for us to see that chemistry.

Instead we get Esme carrying around Amazon Baby Ace and Spence turning over his life to them. What a waste.

Point taken! I predict there's gonna be another Molly & we're gonna like this one. What the heck are we gonna call her, though? PneuMolly? NextMolly? GotItRightFinallyMolly? ThanksFrankMolly? Yeah, I will have to eat my hat if we call her Haley. I know! Summer is finally done, right? FallMolly! 

I was told two conflicting things that may be of interest. 1. Nicholas was supposed to be gone doing that movie & that movie schedule changed & they had to write him back into story. (And we can all say how lousy they did that job.)  2. No way was that movie ready to shoot.

 Seriously, she just needs to leave Trina alone.

And as much as I tire of Frank not letting go of OLTL, I'll admit that it was nice seeing Blair again and to find out what she's been up to since 2012-2013.

Crossposting, hooray!

Just to be needlessly anal: For the sake of audience exposition, Tracy seems to be unaware of who the Cramers are, which in terms of ABC Daytime soap continuity, where characters always kept up on this kind of stuff (pre-lawsuit), I have a hard time buying. Tracy is a shark. She would know about Dorian Lord and the other power players in Llanview as a matter of principle, and she also used to have a less than above-board business relationship with Llanview's own Marco Dane when Gerald Anthony crossed over in the '90s; she would've looked into him too. She also researched everywhere Rae Cummings had ever been when planning to take her and Skye down when she came back to the Quartermaine family fold in 2003 (a task she quickly accomplished, clearly with great relish by Guza whose writing made it eminently clear he could not stand the crossover). I'll just pretend Tracy was dummying up for her own cards-to-the-vest purposes.

She also would know Starr, Michael's college sweetheart, but I would hardly blame Tracy for forgetting Michael's one other live girlfriend exists.

In any event it's nice to see Blair even if the GH fans don't deserve to be put through all this. I have no need for KDP to share scenes with Roger Howarth's latest failed character though. I can't stand the cutesy stuff with Howarth and Patrick Gibbons as is, and making Blair and Franco share scenes would've been even worse than Austin tbh.

    • Good Morning, this is still funny to me but I totally enjoyed what makes up "DemetriKane" so unnecessary, who cares?!!! Glad you like the Emma Peel derivative story.   
    • Christian Streaty penned today's Day's script. https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-streaty/
    • Yes, they did.  I still have them.  I think there were three.  AMC and GH as well.
    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist.
