Well, we know where I stand on week to week. BTG usually has a problem when they go against that. It always works when the week has an A story going on with good developing B plots going on as well. This week just felt like B and C stories going on with nothing to center the flow which an A story would do. Thankfully though, it all felt coherent enough that it really wasn't bad. In fact, it flowed from one interesting thing to the next. Martin's Election to the Articulates/Devon Winters plot thread to the Hayley storyline, it wasn't boring.
I found the Martin Election night very intriguing. I know it's been discussed here how the Duprees are too 'always getting along' etc. etc. etc. For that reason alone, it stands out more when they are not getting along. The stuff with the Smitty Framing storyline I felt was already doing a good job of causing tension between Martin and Naomi as well as Naomi and Jacob. And that is certainly true between Jacob and the rest of the family. But I was disappointed that Jacob and Naomi appear to have quickly resolved their growing issues. So I was VERY glad that Chels started to have an issue with Jacob now. Naomi vs Chels? I was not expecting and I would love to see more of this family tension. This story if it keeps going...which looks that way...could be just the thing needed to cause serious cracks in the Duprees' unity. If the writers go there. So watching the tension continue to grow and NOT being quickly resolved...well fingers crossed.
I think everyone knows where I stand on the Devon Winters/Articulates story. So FINALLY seeing him in the flesh...and Lily along, too...I really enjoyed. And for once SilkPress actually humbled herself. Good. The writers IMHO have finally humanized Leslie enough for me. I would have hated it if she went to that recording and turned back into Cartoon Leslie. And her forming a connection to Lily was nice. I've been playing catch-up on threads so I still feel Dante Green is her father and that's really why Barbara was kicked out and Baby Leslie was abandoned. But...we will see.
The quips. The shade! The crashouts! How she steps to EVERYBODY! A day with Black Kristen Dimera is always fun. So I've enjoying Hayley sticking it to Bill. Am I'm supposed to feel sorry for him? I DON'T. What IS bugging me is that while I love Hayley's selfishness I can't believe she doesn't see with her con artist mind how the baby is her ultimate trump card. Thank God, she has Randy.
OOooo...I thought it was interesting over the last couple of weeks how Naomi kept mentioning how she had not been able to get ahold of the tape of Smitty to prove it was doctored. I knew there had to be a reason for that. And now we know that Martin's oppoenet got ahold of it. And then JOEY got ahold of that. So now he has one up on his sister...who is the one really behind the frame up. Still...I respect how they foreshadowed something was up with the fact Naomi still doesn't have a copy.
In terms of C plots...Kat vs Eva will always be the gift that keeps giving for me so I enjoyed their back and forth.
I also enjoyed seeing Deanna and her confronting Randy over him working for Joey.
So Ty/Franciska/Jessica have completely fallen off the backburner, huh? smh.
I enjoy any moment of seeing Caroline and watching her dynamic with Bill.
I know that the Hayley storyline needed to take a bit of a backseat, but I look forward to this week to see her wreck more havoc.
