Tripp's never really had a clear identity throughout the show and different regimes so I am not surprised.  

But the fact you have Sami and EJ's son, Marlena and Stefano's grandson doing a whole lot of nothing is disappointing.  He should be an epic legacy character and Johnny is just...there.    Definitely not taking the canvas by storm or anything.

Ewwww Maggie. You can do so much better than Konstantin. 

I liked the conversation that she had with Julie. Her being lonely does make a lot of sense and I actually it could be a good storyline, if it wasn’t for Konstantin lol. 

And I’m also glad that Julie got to have scenes with Eli before he left. 

I did kind of like Harris/Ava too. To me, it starting to look like Ava’s finally getting her edge back. She’s not a psycho villain but not a pushover victim either and I like that.

And even though I don’t like the storyline, I’m looking forward to Steve telling Marlena everything about John.

I agree some of Maggie's dialogue was really good.  Unfortunately, Konstantin is not where it's at lol.

I liked the scenes with Marlena/Roman/John/Eric and Eric explaining Sloan's behavior.  I know this has been Roman/Marlena's dynamic for years, but they don't seem like they were ever married or had kids together.  Deidre Hall looks like she can barely stand to hug Josh Taylor and I think it's funny.

I still think TB/SBu have good chemistry.  I don't mind Harris/Ava.

I just don't get Steve not telling John or even Marlena whatever he knows years ago lol.  It makes no sense.

I disagree. I think for most of his time onscreen he has had a very distinct personality. The only thing is that it's Mama's Boy! And, culturally they were valued once upon a time because they were good boys instead of bad boys. But, today they're just sort of sore thumbs or holier-than-thous or even goofy guys. Never a plus!

Eli's return was filled with questionable logic.

  1. Why did they choose to stay at the mansion instead of a hotel?
    1. You'd think it would bring back bad memories because Lani shot Stefan there.
    2. It's awfully nice of Stefan to forgive Lani so easily - oh yeah, they've never resolved that...
  2. I assume Julie called him about the fire, so why was he still clueless?
    1. Between this scene and Roman finding out about Abe's recovery, it seems like nobody in Salem ever uses text messaging.
    2. I get that they need to show us things visually, but I don't feel like streaming demands this much repetition.
  3. Did Lani, Eli, and the twins pack enough to just move to DC, or do they have to go back home first?
  4. What did Eli do to his hair to make himself look different?
  5. What's Lani going to do for a job now that she's a convicted felon?
  6. Did Lani run into her old friend Kristen at the mansion?

Well, I guess we'll never know, because I doubt we'll ever see them again.

Tate/Holly was the best part of today.

I like the conversations that each of them had with their parents. And the reasons why they’re doing the things that they do could have a pretty interesting impact on the canvas. I hope Tate ends up being the angry/messy good guy that we all wanted Tripp or Johnny to be. I think the actor can really pull it off.

Harris vs EJ could be interesting as well. 

As for John/Steve… I wonder who came up with this storyline that didn’t actually happen back in the 80s lol

To quote Godfather III, “just when I thought I was out, they dragged me back in”

John's frustration over still not knowing everything about his past really moved me today.  Even the fact that it is a retcon didn't bother me, because we can have empathy for John based on the idea that we didn't know this information for the past 40 years either.   I thought that they creatively conveyed the horror of not knowing what one was capable of in the past within the limits of what the actor can portray.

I can't help but think that someone else shot Katerina.  I assume it is not Konstantin or Steve.  But, it is an intriguing mystery.

On another note, does Tate really live at a halfway house, or does he live in the interrogation room at Salem PD?  Because why are his parents only visiting him at the precinct?  And, why does Jada leave other convict's files in the room?  (I know they don't want to build another set, I'm just kidding).

Harris v EJ is cute, but it is ironic that Harris tries to take the moral high ground, when a year ago he was holding three old ladies hostages in a cryochamber

And yet, this is another week when Sloan and BobEtte just live in limbo while we watch three conversations take up an entire episode of the show.

    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.  
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 Loved her. I've never seen her Doctors work. 
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 I just loved Valerie on my early '90s TV shows. This one gets me. 
    • I assume they did at some point during the finale...
    • Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.
    • I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.
    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex?
