I agree with you guys that Tate might be the most unrealistic teen.  He is way too nice considering everything he went through.  He forgave Holly in about a minute.   You would think going to jail and then a halfway house (?) or whatever it was would have harden him a bit.

I also like how Holly is such a mess.  She's way more interesting than Tate.  I'm sort of glad TV teens don't talk like real teens - none of us, or at least anyone over 30, would understand all that slang.  LOL

And Belle. My girl was mouthy as hell as a teen not in the same vain as Sami & Holly where Marlena & Nicole are justified in knocking them into next week but she had mouth.

But you know who didn't play that [!@#$%^&*]? Bo. I remember him grabbing Shawn up a couple times especially in the church during the JT/Issac story. He grabbed him up by the collar of his shirt like I raised your ass the last thing you're going to do is disrespect me & your mamma.

I always thought Marlena had the Black mamma vibe in her based on that scene with Sami after she was exposed at her almost wedding to The Human dumb bell that was Austin. Sami was salty and jealous of Carrie marrying Austin and Marlena being supportive of them. She finally pushed Marlena to far that was the 2nd crack in the jaw Sami deserved. Mar Mar always came across as I brought you into this world and I will take your ass out to. I got to credit to Dee Hall cause she has this firey commanding force onscreen that makes me believe she is that type of mamma.

Ok, why is this old douche harassing two teenagers? Seriously, Leo’s got no business being involved in Tate and Holly’s storyline. 

I did like the Johnny/Chanel scenes, even though I still wish the whole pregnancy storyline was given to other characters. Chanel’s animosity towards Paulina would be more interesting if Johnny was on Paulina’s side, which would put him at odds with Chanel. Hopefully, the job offer Johnny got today and the fact that he kept it a secret from Chanel will lead to something interesting. 

As for Eric/Nicole/EJ, they were pretty good today but I think they’re missing an opportunity to not make EJ the full on villain. Maybe instead of going to Sloan and telling her that he’s taking the baby, he should have called up his hitwoman and ordered her to kill Eric. Or paid one of the homeless guys that Eric and Nicole are working with to do it. That would have really raised the stakes in this storyline

It is confusing that Johnny and Allie are twins with different fathers.  Especially since they seem aware of their separate paternity.  But, I guess if Roman is Allie's step-Grandfather, Johnny could have been raised to reference him as part of the family...

    • I really didn't start watching the show until season 12 when I was a teen, so I only caught the last three years. I LOVED the show over all though...even that part of 13 that was a bit messy! So, it's been a treat streaming the previous seasons on Plex. I'm amazed at how well so much of the writing holds up over 30 years later. Far better than a lot that we get today! For the most part, stories move along at nice pace with good twists and turns! I just finished season 11, so I'm finally picking up where I started watching all those years before. When I started watching as a teen, Laura had already died, so while she was mentioned pretty often, I didn't have much background with the character. CM was an amazing actress and had chemistry with everyone. So, it's a bit of a headscratcher that they didn't seem to have any idea of what to do with her starting at around season 7. Her scenes at that point are mostly short, brief, and she has very little true story right until the episodes where she's dying in 9. I wonder what it was about the character that the writers couldn't figure out what to do with her. Also, Ben's exit storyline was a bit confusing for me. I never really got who this woman was who was stalking him and this "secret organization." The whole plot seems like it should be on a different show. Michelle Phillips and Nicolette Sheridan have really fun mom/daughter/frenemies chemistry. I remember having a huge crush on PP's Michael and being disappointed when he was written out at the end of season 12. 
    • mayoclinic: Symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and how severe they are can vary. People with the disorder can: Have an unreasonably high sense of self-importance and require constant, excessive admiration. Feel that they deserve privileges and special treatment. Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements. Make achievements and talents seem bigger than they are. Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate. Believe they are superior to others and can only spend time with or be understood by equally special people. Be critical of and look down on people they feel are not important. Expect special favors and expect other people to do what they want without questioning them. Take advantage of others to get what they want. Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others. Be envious of others and believe others envy them. Behave in an arrogant way, brag a lot and come across as conceited. Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office. At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they view as criticism. They can: Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special recognition or treatment. Have major problems interacting with others and easily feel slighted. React with rage or contempt and try to belittle other people to make themselves appear superior. Have difficulty managing their emotions and behavior. Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change. Withdraw from or avoid situations in which they might fail. Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection. Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, humiliation and fear of being exposed as a failure. --- Or maybe Leslie simply has Soap Villain Syndrome.
    • Ambryn Michelle and Trisha Mann-Grant are easily the most charismatic actresses to grace daytime in a longggggggg time. This show wouldn’t be as good without them, IMO. 
    • whatever she has is far worse. Narcissism is just a symptom for deeper issues.

    • What is it? I already know Ambyr was electrifying.
    • The show isn't great right now, but I do hope it can stay on, unlikely as that may be. I guess at least it's better than this time last year. I will say it doesn't really feel like Shortland Street anymore.
    • You guys are going to die when you watch the first scene of today's episode.
    • True. We agree here. She is far from done.
    • Jacob's brother is named "Luke" and their mother is named "Darlene", for the sake of specifics and all.
