We know it wasn't Hoagie & it wasn't Goutman, so that rules out one HW & one EP. I'm sure it wasn't Laurie Caso so there's another EP. Leaves John Valente & FMB. FMB came from ABC. We called her tenure the ABC-ification of ATWT. Black & Stern had no idea what they were doing. Les Moonves recommended them which shows that he didn't know what he was doing either. 1995 was when P&G did the executive shuffle & sent the EP from one show to another between AW & ATWT & GL. Jill went from GL to AW. Valente went from AW to ATWT. Laurie Caso after 40+ yrs with the company got left out in the cold. Who's left? And, it is some writer before Hoagie came in & Barbara was in good shape again!

I ended up FF’ing through some scenes lol couldn’t handle the screen chewing and non-performances of this Jordan mess.

@YRfan23 this whole thing reminded me of the Sarah Smythe story the show did in 2010, and that’s not a good thing.

Nate and Audra totally should have staged takeover of Newman with Tucker in the absence of the Nemans.

A bit off to see Billy, Nate, and Audra fret in Crimson Lights when really it should have been Sharon, Summer and Adam while they filled in a clueless Abby.

This Jordan/Eve plot has more holes in it than a bathhouse on  a Friday night in 1975!

How did Jordan get poison into the bottled water?

What happened with the private jet crew -are they just hanging around the airport?

Newman Security strikes again-the whole family heads out of town and nobody is alerted.

And the baby switch- wouldn't the parents of the dead baby missing a baby?

If Eve was sickly wouldn't she be under strict observation. How would Jordan gain access? And how could she look after a very ill infant?

They should have made Jordan a former nurse, that would explain the hospital access, caring for a sickly baby, and at least a little about administering the poison.  They could have explained that over the years, she had been fired from multiple hospitals for doing inappropriate things. They should have also had a throw away line about the private jet and the crew.  A few details similar to those thrown into the script here and there would make this plot much more believable.

Victoria, Victor, and Nick have been gone from Genoa City less than a day, maybe only a few hours. They took the private jet from Genoa City, Wisconsin to whatever airport is nearest to wherever Jordan lives in Oregon.  Jordan and Claire haven't changed clothes since Jordan's first appearance.   This sequence of luring, traveling, capture, poisoning, stabbing, antidote, police arrival, and arrest ... has played out in a few hours of character time.

wtf?
