Now I'm wishing she would ask EB for his favorite curse word, or what MTS hopes to be the first words she hears when she arrives in Heaven.

Well, I can't say that Audra is wrong. Tucker/Devon are wash, rinse, repeat these days. But I would be down for Tucker taking Billy down. He is overdue a fall.

 

I really can't believe that Jill gave (most of) her control over to Billy. I was glad that the writers spoke what most fans would say in the form of Esther...who has Two jobs. How does she have the time to be receptionist at CW and manager over at Crimson Lights? I was surprised to see her. Still...it better not be the last time we see Jill.

 

Vicious Lily with Daniel was fun to watch.

 

Ashley and the battle of the Alters continues to be my main storyline. It occurred to me that I cannot believe none of the Abbotts really have a clue when the wardrobe speaks for itself, but I have to give credit to the costume designers because when Southern Belle Ash is out and about, it's not the the clothes aren't things that Ashley would wear, but they are very bright and colorful. And that's a line to walk and I feel that it's subtle so I do like it. And now 'Cain' has said it on-air...DID. But again...all this over a small argument in Paris??? Just smh.

 

I continue to enjoy the Audra/Sally friendship. And interesting backstory about Audra wanting to be an artist. Makes more sense to why she would have liked Noah to me.

Ashley’s alters do everything in their power to act nothing like normal Ashley and the Abbott’s are just completely unaware

 Her own daughter still has no clue.

LOL personally I’m ready for it to end. Had it be written in reverse and had better plotting, it may have been an exciting May Sweeps as we would have just been finding out who Jordan and Claire are after months of committing various minor sabotage acts towards the Newmans without raising suspicions.

 

Due to end of the school year work (giving and grading final exams is worse than taking them lol) and got a bit behind @Taoboi but I was so happy to see Nate & Audra sharing scenes again from today’s episode that I caught.

I don't know, nothing about the Nate/Audra pairing gives me lasting new couple vibes. Just feels like Josh Griffith decided to throw attractive people together for a little while.

Worse is that the "business story" stuff continues to be awful.

No one does any work. We never see any products or hear about what they do. All we get is board member infighting about changing the name of the company and about who's in charge. None of it works, none of it makes any sense.

Okay, I thought that was a more decent week than I feel the comments I glanced here said. I just think it's a shame that the momentum from Billy's power play was lost weeks ago because Devon and Lily trying to power play past Jill was awesome. I was surprised at how much I was expected. And it would be nice to see that friction continue between Devon and Abby who have been without drama for long enough. And she should be bothered that Devon and Lily only assumed she would vote for them. It was a good use of Abby's history of being split between two families...something they really don't do with Abby often enough if at all.

 

Lord at Audra being so insecure. If she knows Tucker as well as she thinks she does, she knows how important his relationship with Devon is. So her fits are just that...fits. But any excuse to jump Nate's bones I guess...lol.

 

Finally!!! Kyle standing up for himself with Summer. Let's keep this going. Cuz MM and AL are giving.

 

I found this...and Ashley's storyline...great and flowing. So the Jordan storyline popping up on Friday was so jarring to story flow. No matter how much I love Victor torturing that witch. 

 

@soapfan770 papers!! lord...I don't miss that. lol. But I understand. Work and finishing my latest has keep me away from posting, but keeping up as best I can.

    • 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!

    • 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.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
