I feel like Hannah was barely used and halfway out the door long before she actually left.  With C level pairings with Taggert and AJ.  I doubt she would have been used as well.  She was one of those characters that seemed doomed from inception and it seems like LV was hired for her looks more than her experience.

Yay!  A Brenda mention?  Even in the most vague way and a possible sign Lois and Brenda might still be bff?  I can't catch it till later, but I assume it will make me happy.  Thanks for the heads up.

I feel like it's been years since Brenda was mentioned by name.

Good show today

Nina vs Ava was fantastic. CW did a great job playing Nina realizing just how badly Ava’s been playing her then Maura West with the heel turn midway basically gloating, delightful to watch. Nina finally got to be played sympathetically as well with that last montage

If you had told me in 2005 Sam would be trying to keep Jason away from their kid I wouldn’t believe it but thats the kind of perspective shift I love that only soaps can do. Their scenes with Danny and Kristina were great

I’ve always felt LW and MB’s best chemistry is when Sonny and Carly are fighting. Sonny’s feelings of betrayal are 100% valid 

More Willow and Drew chem testing hmmm….I liked him bringing up Nina in a not so negative way. I really want a nasty love quad with Nina/Drew/Michael/Nina that ends with Michael becoming a sloppy drunk like his daddy and Drew causing havoc like a real Quartermaine.

I actually love that the cast is large, I just think half of the canvas is uninteresting and should be replaced with more dynamic characters. Cody, Sasha, Finn and his entire family should be the first to go. Bring in some young hospital interns, some teen girls for Jake and Danny to fight over, new guys for Trina and Josslyn, etc

He's very hot, but I'm tired of FV puffing up random dayplayers and recurring parts and just adding more and more for them because he can't be bothered to hire new unique characters for valued veterans or other folks tbh. I want a real hire. And they can maybe give that PCPD guy a purpose and pairing that doesn't feel like it's just a stopgap for Rena.

Obviously, I haven't seen it yet, but it would seem more normal to just refer to Brenda by name as the Face of Deception in the 90's instead of her best friend just because Maxie would naturally know this information and what their relationship was, but whatever lol.  

 

Yeah, I have no problem with Lois working for Deception, but she seems quite fulfilled with her career.  I'd rather her and Brook Lynn figure out something in the music business they can do together.

I still think they should have Jake go for a teen boy. Non-actor Aiden and his Easy-Bake 'fro are not story-ready!

The Willow/Drew stuff is finally starting to feel intentional after being very weird for a very long time lol.

I think there's still elements of that, lol. They've been making relentless sport of her ever since MB clearly pushed to be paired with her after Nixon Falls, it's been a grudge played out onscreen and as we've discussed here over the last year or so, even as someone who doesn't care much about Nina it got very tiresome watching her cry and moan and be humiliated everyday. But PM's team has wisely returned Nina to some of her roots - histrionic, spoiled, manic socialite fluttering around her various businesses - and CW plays that to the hilt. CM also plays very well with her as Drew. There's more of a sense of fun and mischief to Nina's character now.

      Last episode with Stephanie's script.

    • It is clear the secret involves some sort of roadside incident so it could have been a police stop. And tge Duprees support a police foundation could one of the clues that Martin's secret involves the police.
    • Hours later, I'm still wondering, what was EJ's plan in going to the hospital today? Does he think it's like a car dealership, and you can simply walk in and make an offer? That's why I laughed when Steve said that Dr. not-Rolf comes and goes.  One gets the sense the people in Salem randomly leave their offices, midday, to talk to relatives and co-conspirators.  I understand, they don't use the phone on soaps.  But, the amount of walking these citizens do in a day is remarkable.
    • Look how long it took to finally write Jack an age appropriate long term relationship with a woman he’s had history with since the damn 80’s. 
    • This Sarah/Xander Lake Geneva weekend getaway trip will either be where Xander finds out that Sarah knew about the Phillip situation, or an emergency happens that prevents them from going.  Brownie points for the Lake Geneva mention since that's the getaway for a lot of people that live in northern Illinois/Chicago. EJ is kinda hot... though I never thought that about him when the previous actor played him.  I do think a Dimera owning the hospital would be interesting since the Hortons/Brady's have always had a rivalry with the Dimeras... and carrying that over to the hospital would be organic.
    • In the "things you miss while FFing" category---that 'ho Lillian Raines wanted Ed to keep the affair up and sneak around? Flippin' WHAT THE HELL? Mo should've cut the bitch.
    • Absolutely. And I think Eden could play that in a reduced role, or until a recast comes round. I would easily give her a brainy comic love interest in the Spinelli vein regardless of who is playing Joss. I do think Eden works very hard, and can do certain things well. But I would at the least downshift her and then consider writing her out and bringing on someone else. She is not a lead.
    • I am a couple days behind, but is it just me or do some of the glimpses of Martin's nightmare look like a police traffic stop?  
    • IIRC, there was fan outcry when viewers realized Donna was going to be killed, although someone more in the know might have a better idea. Donna was always more popular with viewers than she probably should have been, which I credit Stuart for. I do agree she would have been easier to write out than Felicia or Rachel.  Cass and Donna dated briefly during the Malone run (late 1997). http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/cassd.html AW should have invested much more in Quinn than they did. All the pieces were in place for her to, at the very least, have a steady build in importance the way Jessica did on ATWT at that time. AW had moved away from usual patterns by bringing Henrietta and Quinn into the show to diversify the canvas. What always bothers me is the comment an AW person gave to SOD after fan complaints over Quinn's death - essentially, they did not know Quinn had any fans. Says it all.
    • I like that the Martin story hasn't been frequent.  The nightmares are airing only periodically.  Each time, we viewers see more of the accident or whatever happened.  I think we might (or at least I might) be annoyed if we saw the nightmares too often.  At this point, I've become more curious, and so, when it's finally revealed, I think the timing will be just right.
