I think they're both quite good. Until Spencer comes back from the dead we can see her mourn, scenes with Ava, scenes with her family but of course, all the scenes of their romance will be MIA. 

I'm looking forward to some #Kraze stuff. Which reminds me, apparently somewhere unknown to me, they are calling them Blistina. I mean, that sounds clinical, in need of medication. Or maybe it's people making fun of them?

As much as I hate Nina/Sonny I just don't feel like this is the dealbreaker for them.  After years of the show telling us how compatible they were it feels like a letdown to their fans at least? If they exist.  I guess Nina could go back to Valentin, but that feels like a fate worse than death and I still don't think Nina was wrong in the SEC nonsense.

Me neither, but who cares? Any excuse to end some of these boring couples I'll take. Nina and Valentin can leave together or perish in a house fire for all I care.

To be clear I don't think they were committed to Sonny/Nina being over before the HW change or are currently in what's onscreen. I think they may have been playing with Lois, Anna, Ava, Valentin, whatever. But going forward I think anything goes.

If Drew was played by someone other than Cameron Mathison, I would push him and Nina together.  (Yeah, Drew falling for the woman who turned him into the SEC sounds crazy, but if written properly, it could work.)

No, I agree it's such a weak breakup. And I think under D&C anyone else in the mix may have just been spoilers/complications for Sonny and Nina, who knows (despite the writing team clearly despising Nina!). But hey, I just don't care so long as I'm watching something new lol.

I'll let @Darn describe his reaction to Drew spending years in supervillain torture vs. a few weeks/months in lock-up, lol. Drew's behavior re: Nina lately is truly psycho. He was going full Wrath of Khan on her ass with Michael the other day. You would think she killed Oscar.

Like I said, pairing up Drew and Nina sounds crazy, given the circumstances.  But, like I also say, an audience will go wherever you want them to, so long as you take the proper steps to get them there.

Oh, I don't doubt it's possible. But I honestly find both characters superfluous. My only interest in Nina is playing to CW's strengths and writing a psycho arc for her to exit in a blaze of glory, preferably losing her marbles over Brenda - Nina came on this show batshít insane and that's how she can leave. Drew, I've talked about the dilemma with him as a blank slate and how he could be recast into anything with the right actor. But I'm so tired of what CM's been doing that I need him to be gone for at least a little while too lol.

I will add that Brook Kerr has been killing it as always and deserves a much stronger male partner onscreen. Be that an old or new Justus as I suggested or whoever else, free Portia!

    • This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.
    • YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.  
    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.

    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
    • I've already stated that I don't like Doug being written as this meek and submissive. It was so lame watching him leave her like that. Vanessa can divorce him, but she then needs to get her thot ass into therapy. She's not only having sex with every guy she runs into, but is now having  sex with a skeevy perv on a poker table. I'm going to give the BTG some credit here. For months, many on this board were delighting in the Vanessa/Joey flirting and what they saw as chemistry. I think we're now seeing what the writers always intended -- that Joey is a disgusting POS wannabe mobster.
