Here's my problem with the Theresa/Konstantin scheme.  It has been at least six months since they tricked Alex into believing that he's the heir, but I still don't know their plan for stealing the money.

Is Theresa supposed to marry Alex and Konstantin marry Maggie, and then divorce them and get half?  The inheritance was received before the wedding, so it wouldn't be community property, and how do they know that there won't be a prenup?  Or will they try to embezzle it after they're wed?  Why do they need to be married to do that?

As a viewer, I need some clues to stay involved with the plot.  Otherwise, I am not invested.  Let's subvert the impulse to react that the writer didn't know the plan, because the resolution is always part of the pitch for a story.  So, that would be an uninformed critique (apologies for my tone, I'm a bit ornery today).

I would simply disagree with the idea of it being hastily done. I understand that we're not currently witnessing the efforts of the writer who composed the story. However, they've had ample time to incorporate dialogue between Theresa and Konstantin discussing the intricacies of their plan.

But @AbcNbc247 I appreciate you humoring me on an ornery day.

Right, I mean, Konstantin has told us frequently why he changed the will, so we know his motive, but we have no idea how he's planning to profit from it.

On second thought, until today I thought he was just messing with Victor's loved one's out of spite, not for financial gains.  So that might be a scab issue.  Because originally it was just about avenging a wrongdoing against Victor, and only recently has there been a discussion about trying to get some money off it.

Chad/Stefan was the best part of today. The two brothers teaming up to finally put an end to Clyde would have been great. And I like that they spoke about everything that happened with Abigail. They really needed to have that conversation and I’m glad that they did. I just wish it had been a little longer. 

Those scenes today also got me thinking of how different Days would have been these past few years if people had actually liked that storyline lol

And, I don’t know what they were trying to do with Jada/Harris but I don’t mind it. A Jada/Harris affair or pairing could be pretty good. If it was tied into everything with Stefan/Ava, that could actually be a pretty good mess. 

And it would free Jada from Rafe

Here's our Dee, this month, at a convention, signing an Elektra Woman board game. Probably your typical club room recessed lighting & she looks fine, much better than she does on the show! She looks soft, not harsh or stern, or odd. So since that kind of lighting is nothing special, it just illustrates how dadgummed bad the show lighting is.

Agreed on the Chad and Stefan stuff.  I like that they're using this experience as a lesson for Stefan to learn about the importance of family.  It was so silly when they were drugging each other, and icing Chad out for no reason.  I like that a rivalry has been set up between Stefan and EJ, but it is not as extreme as it was in the past.

Meanwhile, have Paulina and Leo completely forgotten that they know each other?  It was odd that Stefan suddenly referenced his past with Abigail, but Leo seems to have completely forgotten his past with the mayor.

    • nothing. The story was put on the backburner while they focused on other stuff. I think thats one of the issues i have with the show in that it sometimes struggles with balance as stories will disappear for weeks and then reappear (Chelsea's throuple for example)
    • I HATED Infinity (I could care less about Kyle Sampson and his hanger ons and the dumb Lujack video, and Mindy and Kurt were strong armed into being a fave couple and married off way too soon (Jeva didnt get that big of a wedding.) I did like the Fishing Mystery (despite the changing of history..it was murky enough that it could be fudged) and the Cabin mystery started out good ..I thought Tony was hot and I liked Annabelle, it had supernatural elements but they did not overtake the story (i.e. Reva traveling through time..) and I love a gothic mystery.. however, it was bizarre that nosy Nola wasnt in the mix...she barely seemed interested that her sister in law was psychic, there may be ghosts in her brothers house, etc.  I don't know if there was a behind the scenes issue with Brown and Kobe, or if Long just wanst interested or felt tied up writing for Quola.  I would have had Quint blow up in the cabin instead of Hillary but..The big problem that the end result was...boring. Okay so there are black Spauldings..and they disappeared...so what now? Not only was J gross...(I can't believe the actor IS actually just as obnoxious as J) they made Chelle into an airhead horn dog going after her cousin. Yes, by adoption but still her cousin. I wondered why she was not calling Nola "Aunt" when she first arrived, and they barely acknowledge each other ( I would think Nola would glomb on to mothering her sister's daughter, especially with Stacy not in town, much to Ed's chagrin) but it was in service to...this??? Wait until Chele gets all horny for an angel...oyyyy! No one else in town reacted to Nadine's death,, cause Deas had to have his big dumb over the top reaction scene to Deenie's death. I can't imaging watching that scnene and thinking he was a good actor!
    • Happy to see this!

        I know, I'm getting the sense they expected Beaty to stay if they were going the rehabilitation route with Abby. A few weeks ago, when Michelle was dressing sexy for her date with J, she let Abby try on a dress and Rick then taught her what dating was like, and she went in and kissed him. They were clearly setting up the Abby/Rick story, but then suddenly it has pivoted to Rick falling back in love with Annie and trying to convince her not to go to Josh since he and Reva are secretly meeting at the cabin (Annie is getting unhinged here). But with Rick focused on Annie again, it would have left room for Abby to work with Brent, had Beaty stayed (at least this is what I'm assuming based on what I'm seeing). Rick is also now in Blake's orbit - they both just got in a bar fight post-Ross/Amanda kissing and Annie rejecting Rick's advances. They're together and Blake is now coming onto Rick while they drink... uh oh.
    • She is truly in such a delusional state that it's hard to know what's true but I'm sure there are some easter eggs in there. I am very curious to see how they utilize Leslie now that everybody knows who she is. If they do go with a connection to Anita in someway that would definitely be interesting. Anita was the first and only person so far that Leslie seemed intimidated by. 
    • I do get your point about the Q's stuff with Lois back in the day.  I will say there were a lot more Quartermaines and a lot more stupid, corrupted plotting in the 90's.  I think the show went out of their way to make Lois seem almost naive, unprepared for such an insane family The whole idea that Lois had to move far away from Ned and PC to raise Brook Lynn was a bit flimsy for me as well.  I mean, no judgement, but BLQ still got knocked up as a teenager lol.  I appreciated Lois was also hard on Sonny back then.  Lois could clearly see his flaws even if she loved him. Yeah, Sonny, Carly and Jason don't really deserve human connections with anyone but themselves lol.  I always have wondered if the show did want to re-pair Jason/Sam and whatever happened with Kelly happened.  
    • I might've somehow missed it but what happened to Jacob's partner Detective Marcel Malone? And Jacob's shiny bald headed daddy Chief Elon Hawthorne as well?
    • Agree to disagree. I think both Jason & Carly do human connecting pretty much all the time. Sonny is different. And I think Jason's return is pretty clear. It was, and is, about Jason's capacity for self-sacrifice & his capacity to dedicate himself to a thing or person or whatever in a very singular, possibly even extreme way. Steve has tried to make the point to fans that Jason would have possibly done this for other people, not just for Carly. If I try to follow that to some conclusion, I ask myself who? Danny? Yes. Jake? Yes. Sonny? Yes. Sam? I'm not sure. Liz? I think so,  probably. Monica? Definitely.  Any other Q? No. Spinelli? Strong maybe.  What do you think?  One thing that helps me think about it is the speech he gave when he talked about getting the new ink. (tatooed arm) Valerie Cooper? Or Spencer?
    • After Season 1 they jumped to Season 25. I queried why but they didn’t reply. They’ve also added the episodes to their on-demand section too (as well as live streaming them)  Oddly, some S25 episodes are the longer 21-22 minute edit used for international distribution, but the majority appear to be the shorter US edit. They also blur out the B&B web-address at the end of the credits which I can’t fathom why. They’re also very diligent in ensuring the ‘BBL Distribution’ slide is cut from the very end too - there’s an abrupt fade out of the music which typically would overlay into the distribution credit.
