Awwww I got to see some Ashley after all!!! My reaction was just like Tucker's. I was not expecting to see her. And those Tucker/Ashley scenes...were soooo good. THAT was what had been missing since the start of this alter storyline. That back and forth. I also liked that Ashley was able to apologize to him. And she even tried to make amends with Audra. 

 

And there it was again! I said there was a scene a while ago where CC and BM looked like they had a bit of a spark as Alan and Traci. And there was something that the director was doing where they kept zooming in on Alan while Traci was talking after he was asking about Traci as a person that made me go hmmmm. Could they finally be giving Traci a new love interest? 

 

And okay Victor...you have my interest piqued. It was already there with his scene with Diane last week. Now he wants Michael to get closer to her. Clearly, we are about to get another round of him vs Jack. And since Victor wants Cole to get close to Kyle, I take it to mean I might actually be interested in the lame Kyle vs Diane story.

100% agree to all of this after catching up with this week. I wish the show would scale back on the ridiculous business stories.

Diane/Kyle makes zero sense and is terribly written when it could be written so much better or at least have some psychological meaning behind it, something JG could never do. 

I admit Friday’s twist ending with Audra and Victor was a nice one but honestly would have been more impressive 20 years ago under a better writing regime. 
 

Ashley’s DID story was wrapped up too quick on Monday ugh. Like I mentioned elsewhere the Alan/Martin and “childhood trauma” twists were abrupt, ludicrous, and not fully explored at all 

I noted it the Summer and Sally scenes were nice…but over freaking Chloe…? Sally has a better friend in Audra. Seriously we should have some real drama between these two like Summer approving of Sally’s work but making final edits behind her back.

And thanks @Taoboi

Honestly, I don't know why they're bringing them back. There's really no story for Danny and Christine, and I think their Romeo and Juliet days are long over.

If it's just for more sabotage from Phyllis, that's just more Phyllis character destruction.

See? I knew I was going to struggle to watch once Ashley exited stage left.

 

Did I like anything?

 

Well...I liked seeing Summer and Sally getting along. 

 

I liked seeing Chance.

 

And TSJ is still looking good in his clothes. lol. And I enjoyed the episode I watched today where Tucker finally told Audra what was going on with Ashley. And Audra threw no snark. 

 

I loved Cole in his suit and Victoria has been great good all week. Cute little moment between them. 

 

So I guess other than that, I've enjoyed watching Victor weave his web over Cole, Michael, Kyle, and Diane. Cuz...VICTOR. That said...the Battle of the Newman Kids...AGAIN...yeeeah, NO.

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.  
    • It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with Eric,a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he smashed into a mirror, dying of glass wounds. So there was a supernatural element. I wonder if the Brody character in the credits was Eric Brody?
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience? 
    • That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you
