There has been a lot of whiplash trying to watch lately with a few of these storylines, and I’ve gotten confused myself over a few things especially of the back and forth between Kyle, Tucker, Audra, Billy etc.

Speaking of Billy I also felt like I missed something with him now working at Chancellor-Winters. I mean I know Jill asked him to come but I didn’t realize he’s already there and now suddenly beefing with Devon. Did I miss something again?

Sharon’s launch party was decent, and I see CG is already back from maternity leave or filmed this before leaving…?

Sally back with Adam…it gives me heartburn to think about all that character went through only for it to come back full circle…what the hell was the point Josh Griffith?

Phyllis/Summer and Phyllis/Christine scenes make me smile as both one upped Phyllis today.

Look at Chelsea making her monthly appearance to remind us she’s still exists and hasn’t gone the way of Elena yet

Wow!! I was a bit surprised/confused when she appeared in today’s episode. 
 

I also forgot Mariah worked at Jabot as we hadn’t seen here there in forever…..Diane seemed a bit sad Mariah left. I hate that kind of stuff because we’ve never really seen Diane and Mariah interact much before. A shame because I had wanted Diane to make friends with other outsiders back in 2022 with characters like Mariah, Imani etc.

She doesn’t which is unfortunate. Back during AD’s 96-01 run as Diane she at least made friends with Michael (to Sandra Nelson’s Phyllis jealousy!), her assistant Marissa Barton (played by MAB’s sister) and  Brad, while it was during Susan’s first run she reconnected with Michael and Marissa and also made friends with Isabella.

 

At the time when Imani was still on the show I figured her and Diane becoming friends would be an excellent counter balance to Phyllis and Amanda lol. And I always liked SW and AL scenes I would have enjoyed Diane becoming like a second mother to AL’s Summer just to make MS Phyllis head explode lol.

Josh Griffith has an aversion to drama LMAO. Any other soap writer would have capitalized on AL’s Summer and ZS’s Audra having a nasty feud yet for some reason JG didn’t even touch it.

I'm behind as I have been in a power outage for days on the Oregon coast due to this latest storm. That's why I'm "Beachstorm". lol

Started watching yesterday's show and I can't even believe what Sharon is wearing. WTF? She looks like she's from Caesar's Palace or at a toga party. Good grief. And the boob spillage was not at all attractive. 

Then my electricity went out again a couple of hours ago so I am now on generator power for the time being. Oy.

Phyllis is so psychotic and pathetic LOL.

 

Lauren: “I know how important a sponsor is to someone in recovery. Fen is very close to his. In fact he and Trey spent Christmas with him.”

Translation: Trey got the below shocking view of Fen and his sponsor on Christmas morning when Trey opened up the guest bedroom’s door @Soapsuds

Haha

I thought the same when Lauren mentioned Fen was very close to his sponsor and spent Christmas together. I was ok that's why we didn't see Fen at the wedding.

I'm shocked they mentioned Fen and Trey too.

I loved seeing Colleen on Friday's show too.

Yes we have Christine vs Phyliss again. 

But Phyliss is acting ridiculous and Danny is acting stupid. Danny falling for this Phyliss business is beyond dumb.

 

I hope that's not the last we've seen of Colleen.

I also enjoyed the Lauren and Nikki scenes this week.

    • I apologize in advance for asking y'all questions about who half these people are or what they're doing as I reenter this show after quite awhile.
    • Speaking of that story, it led me to this scene, which was part of a story I despised (it was one of the reasons I would skip wide swathes of the show at this time), but is another reminder of what a good actress Kim Zimmer was when given the material. I was a fan of Edmund's in spite of the many bad things he did - I think I was mostly just a fan of DAM, but I did often feel sorry for Edmund - but this story is one time where if Reva had put a cap in his ass, I would have been perfectly satisfied. There are so many stories Edmund survived that by many rights he shouldn't have...again, credit to DAM here. Maybe he had his own version of the Bradley Cole stans. Good for them. I always thought Mark Dobies (RIP) and Kim had some decent chemistry, even if the relationship was one of many discarded for "always." This for me was Beth's absolute dumbest story, which is saying a hell of a lot. I wonder how Beth Chamberlin felt about it. She always had chemistry with DAM, but chemistry was not enough for her to wander around that cardboard castle for months enabling and being such a smug princess.

    • Not much happened today, but there were a lot of good scenes. It was nice seeing people have someone to talk to about everything that’s been going on, especially Chad and EJ. I liked that Chad was there for him after what happened with Johnny yesterday. EJ convincing Chad to vote for him at the board meeting could lead to something interesting happening as well.  I also enjoyed seeing Kayla, Julie and Maggie all going head to head with Xander. The writing seems to have improved for all three of them.  NuRachel did a good job too. Just the way she delivers her lines sounds less evil than the other one did lol I still think that there’s something more to what she told Brady and Kristen. And I’m glad that Brady ripped EJ too. It was very well deserved, and I hope it was the first time of many. Belle was a little stupid in that scene though.  Btw, I didn’t expect the fate of the hospital to be all up to Brady lol  And, we got an update about Bo. It would be nice to see it though. I’m enjoying all these storylines, but too much of it seems to be happening offscreen. 
    • It's those Shayne genes, as Reva is also healed from blindness about 5 years later.

    •   That was such a moving little surprise. I remember reading some comments over the years about why the show never paired them up, but even beyond the clear reasons why, I kind of prefer it this way. I'm so glad their friendship was remembered and seen as meaningful by the show.  Jenny's death is one of the few of a major character that stuck. The impact was never what it should have been because Greg stopped being a major character not long after her death, but it still shows the strength you can have on a soap if you allow a character who meant a lot to so many (characters and fans) to stay dead.  (no comment on the Jenny doppelganger plot)

    • Wow, he must have gone to a really good school for the blind if they taught him how to see again.

    • When Dylan returns briefly in 1997, his blindness is gone. I think they did briefly acknowledge this but I have not seen the episodes since they first aired.
