The dialogue Nina had about how men view women vs. how they actually can put their money where their mouth is made me think of horny old PM in the driver's seat tbh. Not that I am complaining. It was uncharacteristic and a refreshing perspective.

And yes, that is a taste of how Cameron used to be in his golden days. There is a reason he used to be very popular on AMC before the rot set in BTS, and why he became a successful TV host. I've never had a problem with CM, it is the writing and choices that trigger his worst acting impulses and make him unbearable to watch sometimes. But he's hot again with the beard and a more breezy and fun approach to the character, which is how he should be used.

I think the teasing of Kristina’s mistrust and suspicion of Ava is interesting foreshadowing. I think Kristina may unravel Ava’s plans against Sonny, or Ava may do something that causes Kristina to miscarry (and ending this unnecessary surrogacy storyline).

Didn't Faith do just that with Liz or someone else back in the 2000s? Ava's bangs and slutty sheer blouse are giving Faith Rosco to the hilt, right down to swanning around Sonny ready to get him into bed.

Meanwhile: Maybe it's me, but those Heather scenes with Kevin and Laura last week were genuinely good and touching IMO. The Tracy stuff has also been wonderful across the board, as others have already touched on.

Yes! I've always though of Ava as alternate Faith! Not sure which one of them I like more.

I am surprised to see the support for the Drew/Nina scene, lol!

Where are they going with Carly/Jagger. So far I see Carly's rescue as a catalyst for Jagger to soften and drop his leverage on her....dare I say romantic intentions pitted against Jason???

I'm calling it now: they are going to re-tell the Jagger / Jason / Karen storyline with Jagger / Jason / Carly. I am calling it. Classic soap: re-telling of a story in modern times, with a bit of a different take.

It was a brilliant quote and definitely felt like classic soap. Totally a Mulcahey move in what felt like a Korte-filled episode.... if that makes sense? And the beard HELPS him as Drew. The beard holds the power... but still, the writing choices from Van Etten & O'Connor, as well as the strike team really dampered his work as Drew for me.

I do not need two men fighting over Carly lol.  I have a hard time believing one man would tolerate her let alone two.

Still giggling over Drew's shirt and the goodness of Nina/Drew.  I can't wait to watch Sonny and Carly's heads explode when they find out!

And I know everyone loves Maura West, but some of those faces she was making were right out of a Saturday Night Live parody like someone noted earlier.  I just find Ava so campy, in mostly a good way, but I am not sure if it's intentional on MW's part.

I keep saying this! @DRW50 called it Fire Marshall Bill from In Living Color years ago and Maura has no chill with this stuff, God bless. Her 'poker face' during the Connie mystery days was hilarious. I love it.

She’s straight out of a Dynasty drag act I saw a few years ago, lol. 

But, tbh, some of the styling choices for Ava recently have reminded me of what I saw of Louise Shaffer’s turn as Stephanie on SEARCH.

Ha! Ha!  That is an accurate assessment.  Kate Mansi had the same WTF expression I did while watching Ava/Sonny interact.

EWWWW.  To the Carly triangle.  I feel like we already watched various versions of this nonsense for years and I still don't get why anyone would want to deal with Carly.  Unless these guys just really find good hair extremely attractive.

  I swear MW could be a silent film star.  Her expressions are so OTT.

I am not terribly familiar with her ATWT work, but from what I have seen she was slightly more subtle, but Ava is practically a cartoon character, so fair enough.

      And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too.

      Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?

      That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.

      I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.

      A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.

      I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.

      I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.

      Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

      Your daily (or nightly) thought

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.
