Friday's show was such a terrific watch with Laura, Spencer, Cyrus, Esme and Ava.  That last scene between Esme and Ava in particular was a heart-wrenching cliffhanger. 

They need to keep Nina like she was in today's episode, a little unhinged, a lot angry and very vindictive.  I'm so sick of her being a whiny doormat and punching bag for all the insufferable and loathsome characters that attack her constantly.

Carly taking over as editor of a fashion magazine is so ridiculous.  Every job that character has had (except as a nursing student when she came on the show) has been completely unbelievable.  Having her run her mother's diner was the perfect fit.  She should have stayed at Kelly's/Bobbie's.

If this was the Guza or Carlivati years there is a fair chance Carly might tank Crimson, lol. They prioritized other women at times. And we all remember her uh, storied time at Deception (though I honestly really liked the idea of polar opposites Laura and Carly working there, with Sonny basically having bought her the job).

I liked Carly running Kelly's/Bobbie's.  I didn't even mind her stint at the MetroCourt because you could assume Jax was doing the work and he taught her enough to be competent.    Running a magazine in 2024?  Like it's easy with a half a nursing degree?  Lol.  She doesn't even have Maxie or Lulu there to run it by default.

Carly owning Kelly's/Bobbie's is one thing. She's a great owner of the business. But for them to waste Carly slinging coffee and burgers was just too much. Sure, it was a transition for her to switch from hotel owner to cafe owner when she was in trouble. But she's a force in this town whether we like it or not. Send her up the scale again to running Crimson. Hopefully it will be part of Drew being ran out of town for Jason's return.

So who do we know is probably leaving? CamMat/Drew? Spencer for sure. I'm sure Nina's not going anywhere.

I'm sorry, but as much as I love and miss Bobbie/JZ, I really don't understand naming Kelly's after her, especially when her occupation was as nurse.  Couldn't they have dedicated a room or wing of the hospital to her instead?

I get what you are saying because I didn't really have a connection to Bobbie being a big part of Kelly's.  Ruby had a much stronger presence there and while Bobbie may have currently owned it I don't really associate her with it.

That being said, I am fine with it and thinks it's a nice gesture.  It just doesn't make the most sense.

    • I guess it's because the stories on "Hotel" tended to be very...melodramatic, lol?  I mean, it seems like every episode had long-lost lovers reuniting or people finding out someone they knew and/or loved was dying.  And then there was the time Anne Baxter was strung out on dope, lol. Brandon Stoddard must've envied what the other Brandon (Tartikoff) was doing at NBC.
    • Given some of the things that have been said I am going to quote the preface to an analysis I researched & posted about the desired demos when JFP was EP of AW. And, that is more than enough about that, from me.  
    • The thing that I am stuck on is that the in studio scenes in Egypt started airing in mid-October. It seems very strange that they would have planned to have a couple of weeks of studio scenes airing before they started showing location footage. Normally even though some scenes in a remote-infused storyline are in studio, they would start airing a mixture of studio and location footage at the same time. I suspect they had put Arizona in their back pocket well before the Achille Lauro (hence Hawk arriving in September) and possibly moved up the Egypt in-studio action so that the remote Arizona piece unfolded during November. The Achille Lauro may have been the final straw but I would bet it was not the first time they considered the risk. I have found one somewhat contemporaneous reference published on October 19th but pinned to an October 7th* "diary entry" mentioning that the location shoot in Egypt had been changed to Arizona. "International terrorism has its effect on daytime drama, too. Another World producers had scheduled an elaborate and expensive location shoot in Egypt this fall, But with the serious military attacks and hijackings going on, they decided to play it safe. They are going to Arizona instead. The cast members involved were disappointed but understood the decision." *Undated, but specified as the Monday before Melody Thomas's wedding to Ed Scott. But of course it's possible that the first draft referred to Egypt and was revised after October 7th to mention the cancellation before it went to press. But even making the decision the week of October 7th seems tight to get the Egypt scenes to air on the 17th/18th. I would love to find something from a daily news cycle that would be clearer about the dates.
    • So, Maxim, at this moment in time Evan is under the (mistaken) impression that, for no good reason, Rachel murdered his mother, in cold blood, and his ulterior motive for coming to Bay City is to get vengeance for this wrong that was done to his family & him.  Now, Rachel never murdered anyone. Janice had the knife on her & she pulled the knife on Rachel in the fight they were having. The reason they were fighting was because Janice had been poisoning Mac. So, this sets out the difference between the Frame family version of events & reality as the rest of us know it to be. Also no one in Bay City knows Evan is Janice's son. He goes by Evan Bates, not Frame.

                        Janice Frame is Evan's mother. Janice & Mac were together. Janice was up to no good. Mitch was helping her. She was slowly, little by little, every day, POISONING Mac. She was almost successful. In St. Croix, Rachel & Janice began what was literally a physical fight. They fell into the resort swimming pool, continuing to fight each other. Somehow, I guess Janice had it on her, there was a knife in play but Rachel kept Janice from stabbing her & got it away from her & they continued to struggle until Rachel stabbed Janice, which was a death blow. Mitch did a 180 & helped Rachel get Mac to the hospital. He was so weakened by the poison he could not even stand unassisted. It took both of them together to walk him to the hospital but it did save his life.  The St. Croix remote was SO beautiful, but so dangerous & scary. Also action-packed. Hooray! Maxim's backSo, I just got home & this is what I found waiting for me. I wrote this several hours ago. I guess I neglected to hit send.
    • Thanks @skylark and @DRW50!
    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Earlier I made a long reply but it doesn't exist. Crap.
    • I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.
    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
    • Hehe, twi/x actually x, formerly Twitter. Typically I find 2 sources for "crazy fan rumors" - the wrong parts of FB and x. Oy.
