I guess that’s what we’re supposed to assume now. It just feels weird. Almost like it’s being written by a different writer 

Those Chad/Johnny scenes of them talking about a Dimera curse was such a missed opportunity 

I think Eric said that St. Jude was the patron Saint of suffering 

Out of those three, Stefan really is the weak link. It’s like he tries to be a tough guy, but deep down, he’s really just a bumbling sad sack

No. St. Jude is the patron saint of seemingly-impossible miracles happening.
(I don't know what Eric said today, but that's who St. Jude is.)
That's why St. Jude's Children's Hospital has that name.  In hopes of cures of diseases.

I studied this because my close family member was unable to have children, and then miraculously she got pregnant.  She gave her son the middle name Jude specifically for this reason.   

Sometimes called the Patron saint of the impossible, for hope when all seems hopeless. etc.

Yep

We now had to believe that Susan and Dr. Rolf were lurking around and waiting, even though Ben immediately took Will’s body and dumped it as his apartment. 

But at least that storyline was told with obvious good intentions lol and it brought Will back so I didn’t mind it.

The Maggie/Julie scenes were nice… until Konstantin showed up. Dude really does drain the life out of every scene that he’s in. Hopefully, the spoilers about him are true. 

And whoever was asking about the Horton house set, I think it’s the exact same set, not a new, smaller one. The black paint and curtains on the French doors are a little ugly lol but everything else looks nice. 

Kristen was a bit of an idiot today but I guess her dumping Alex is in character for her. The woman’s only loved two men in her entire life and as much I’d love for her to finally get over Brady, I like that she’s not being changed for the sake of storyline. I do like how messy this whole storyline is getting though and I’m looking forward to tomorrow when Alex probably finds Brady and Theresa.

And, I also liked the Chad/Lucas scenes even though Lucas being skeptical about Abigail possibly being alive was stupid, considering he went through the same thing with Will.

Today's show was a snooze fest and lots of fast forwarding. 

The Maggie and Julie scenes were the best part of today's show.

Is there a purpose in keeping Alex?

RSW has not improved as an actor and isn't even eye candy anymore.

Do you think Ron or any of the writers know what's in the Horton time capsule?  Julie has been talking about that thing for months and there has been literally no movement in that storyline thread at all.  They.........still can't get it opened lol.

Theresa/Brady came a little out of nowhere for me.  

Ava/Harris having a rift was weird too.  I know Steve/Harris are leaving, but Ava's has done about 20 worse things in the time they have been dating that Harris has easily forgiven her for.

Yes, Julie & Maggie, good, always is. Kristen surprised me. With Clyde's allegation I find I have to know more. I wonder now that he's been apprehended if John & Steve are about to be in trouble. Mostly I muttered throughout the whole show. I am so sick of Konstantin. Whatever. Carry on, I guess. 

BTW, I asked AI what St. Jude is the patron saint of. I was thinking that it's of lost causes. Here:

St. Jude, also known as Thaddeus, is the patron saint of lost causes and impossible situations. He was one of Jesus’ original twelve Apostles and is believed to have written the Letter of Jude in the Bible. His popularity among Catholics likely stems from his association with helping those in desperate need. According to tradition, St. Jude miraculously healed the ruler Abgar V of Edessa, which led to his patronage of lost causes12. If you find yourself facing seemingly insurmountable challenges, St. Jude is often invoked for intercession and hope3.

Today felt like when you come back from vacation, and someone was using your office for a meeting.  You have to tidy up, get rid of unwanted stuff, and get your head straight before you can move forward.

One tends to think RonC didn't want Kristen and Alex together (it doesn't fit the vibe, because his romantic partners are always obsessed with each other), he's got to craft an exit for Harris, and he needs to backtrack to his original idea for Theresa.

It reminds me of when the Dobson's returned to Santa Barbara in the early 90s and admitted that they hadn't watched any episodes while they were gone.  I mean, he even forgot why they named the baby Jude.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
