On the one hand, I think it’s nice to see couples happy but on the other hand, it does get a little boring sometimes. There’s no reason why Wendy/Tripp/Chanel/Johnny shouldn’t have their own young quad storyline. Ron and co. had the chance but they didn’t take it. I’m hoping that the scab writers find a way to bring them all together again.

Tripp and Johnny did look hot though lol

And I am liking all the hinting that Valentine’s Day this year might be pretty big in Salem.

I’m not really sure about Theresa falling off the wagon though. I don’t mind it happening or what it could lead to, but (I sound like a broken record lol) it really came out of nowhere. We should have seen Theresa struggle with it this whole time, between all the stuff with Konstantin and with Tate. We’ve never really gotten the impression that that was happening, even though she does have a lot of reasons to. There’s definitely someone on the scab team who isn’t as good as the rest. I’m gonna assume that it’s Fired Guy. 

And yeah, Brady was pretty dumb for not realizing that Jada would need a warrant

So I have recently done some complaining about shows teaching us about Scottish culture & other things but today I loved Tripp's nerdy doctor information about human touch & about oxytocin! 

 

Things are coming together, being sized up, etc. 

 

I even like the way that the cop shop is being written. Rafe has gained IQ points & Jada is at the top of her game. Even Harris is better under the scab writing! 

So, today was another good DAYS

I don't know... maybe this whole drug thing might be the writers' way of basically giving Theresa an out when the whole Alex paternity comes out so that perhaps she somehow escapes any amount of accountability for what she did and maybe when she does eventually get written off the show, instead of going to prison perhaps she winds up going to rehab in order to get clean and sober. I mean if that happens to be the case then it's a lazy cop out but it wouldn't surprise me at this point.

I agree; like I said, it's a stupid, lazy cop out. Why even have her go on drugs again after what... an entire decade or so of being sober when it's more than likely going to be a short-lived story? They just as easily could've had her go on a drinking bender like Stephanie did and it would've achieved the same purpose. Damn, these writers really like making Theresa out to be so pathetic and weak, don't they? If it's so easily for Theresa to relapse then I guess it wouldn't surprise me if it turns out that Theresa actually fell back on drugs periodically during Tate's childhood. I mean, the writers are already trying to convince us that Theresa and Brady were using drugs during Tate's childhood anyway...

2.7/10 - points for copious shots of Johnny's ba dunka dunk

So, Theresa is high as a kite, but somehow Jada knows (a) it is ecstasy and not some other drug (b) she hasn't overdosed, although she's been sober for years, and (c) the drugs are not tainted like Holly's.

How does Jada know this information? 

Also, is it romantic to realize that your teenaged stepsister's OD means that you have to appreciate every moment and propose with a high school graduation ring?  Doesn't Johnny or Chanel still have the ring from their first wedding, or is that considered tasteless?  And does this prove that Johnny never graduated from college?

    • I have to admit I still have a nagging complaint about timelines - Why aren't we allowed to know how long Ted and Nicole have been married or how old Kat and Eva are? Or for that matter, when Anita last released an album? BTG is a new show with no SORAS or timewarping. MVJ and Guza are working from a fresh bible. There is no need to be so coy about ages and anniversaries, especially when most of the storylines are driven by past events.
    • It was an extremely rare interview even then - I was shocked when I read it (as mentioned I'd forgotten just how far in she went).  Malone was clearly hobbled by NBC and P&G, but re-using so many of his old stories and his soap bible instead of actually coming up with material suited to the characters or show did not help.
    • Seeing this trash get good ratings says nothing good about daytime audiences. It's embarrassing.
    • Cat does feel committed to being a goofball (the other term has been reconsidered in recent years).  I wonder, given her brother Aaron, if Cat was less attractive prior to the surgery?  Remember the 1973 movie The Girl Most Likely to?  My fanfic for the moment is Cat commenting on how people treat her differently now that she is gorgeous.  One assumes that pre-surgery, Cat never had two men fighting over her for a date.  So, it might be fun to see that side of the story.
    • It's probably one of the only conflicts the story will have, aside from Dante being upset with Lulu when the truth comes out. They really needed someone else who actually knows Gio is Dante and Brook Lyn's son and kept quiet.
    • So Cat wasn't a creation of Ron C.. but something that the strike writers generated? Perhaps the new writers will give her some layers and purpose on the show that doesn't revolve around Chad since isn't he on his way out next year?
    • Another good show today, but -- Why is super agent Joss holding that thumb drive in plain sight instead of stashing it in her denim shorts? Make it make sense. -- Dante going after Gio (in the previews) for Rocco's alcohol poisoning is lame and cliche, just a contrived way to drive a wedge between father and son.
    • Didn't he get all angry because the strike writers set her up to be Abigail? And he just went with the first thing that came to mind in order to prevent that?

    • That was an incredible interview.  I cannot imagine it ever happening with a performer currently on a soap.  I remember being extremely disappointed in Michael Malone.  I wish we had all of the backstage scoop on where things went wrong with him.
    • Go 'head, Brandon!! I was worried about this meltdown, but he's giving a pretty good meltdown. Knowing when to do it and just the right moment to pull back a bit.    These Kat vs Eva scenes. The best soap rivalry has the rivals have some empathy for the others though they dislike each other. And they are giving.    Yay! A brief SilkPress vs Dani moment.
