I was pleasantly surprised by Nina’s scenes today. I was expecting her to immediately want Sonny back but she stood her ground and realized she and Sonny weren’t really compatible and was okay moving on. I still think she should be more pissed at Drew but her scenes talking about him and Sonny with Maxie were great.

Natalia convincing Sonny to get back in the label business to help Blaze…um okay I guess. I liked the Brook Lynn stipulation he gave her at the end.

Jagger was highly annoying today yapping to Jason. Of course he missed out on capturing Valentine, what a fail FBI agent. Anna’s smugness at the end was funny but I wasn’t buying any of the Vanna nonsense. He set her stupid ass up and she fell hook line and sinker. Hopefully this is the end of this Pikeman story since the constant start and stop ruined what could’ve been an interesting plot.

They have to stop regurgitating Gio’s backstory and give Lois something better to do. Lois was one of the first people Carly met in PC they could have given them a more interesting scene. I’m sick of seeing Joss and Gio at the pool barely working, get these characters into some real mess already.

Nina, as usual is all over the place. She is completely over being mad at Drew it seems, but that's Nina. She can't hold onto that kind of thing with a man. The closure between her & Sonny was so good although I can't figure Sonny out. He is seeming more like a man who is completely on his meds now! I wonder if Clement the pharmacist didn't refill his prescription at 100% instead of what Ava "NotMrsCorinthos" said to do. 

Natalia, so annoying. She's a bigot & we should get to hate her but they have her come up with a plan to save Blaze's musical career. At least Sonny stipulated that Brook Lynn has to be in charge since it's his money. Of course, Sonny doesn't care about money, only power & getting sex every now & then. Natalia's his new mark for that. 

I think this is it for Pikeman. But, it's amazing how inept they can make Cates! 

Jason went directly - do not pass go - to Carly!!! And, said, WE are free!" We, he said we.

You all were not kidding. That was juicy AF.

 

I knew it was a matter of time (if they were going to go there) that Willow and Drew would kiss. But what I was not ready for was that Willow clearly started that. And SASHA walked in on it?? OOooooo MESS!!! And just as Drew and Nina seem to finally be acknowledging their feelings, too. AND Michael and Nina called a truce. That was all just great soap. Honorable mention to Sasha talking to Nina and how deep that conversation was.

 

Meanwhile FINALLY!!!! Cody finally told Mac. Given it has been going on for two years, that was great. And the direction was good. The confrontation. And yes, JJY can still get it. lol. And count me in on everyone else who said that this pervious writing team have rebooted Maxie nicely. I loved her scene with Cody.

 

While I liked the Portia v Laura scene, I admit that the main part of it was bad optics because it felt less like the other times when Portia was calling out people and making total sense and more like having someone look crazy to look crazy. Though I do love seeing Portia on the warpath.

 

That brief scene with Tracy and the senator has me worried. They are not about to kill off Monica, are they?

She really can. If Ava was in anyone else's hands, I really don't think I would care as much. But I love watching MW work. All the way back to her as Carly on ATWT

 

That's just it. Starting out...and why I loved it...was that the writers (or PM) were allowing all the characters find out about it slowly. And from there they were showing the characters' reactions and feelings. At the time, it felt like Laura was all over the canvas, too, so it's saddening to see her in hit-and-miss appearances at the moment. 

 

I agree with you. I also feel the decision to do so was done long before it showed up on screen because I felt it was extremely well paced for what it ended up being IMHO. 

 

I admit that I'm wondering this as well. Until it's mentioned, it feels like Heather's story has vanished. Up until Portia vs Laura at the Qs...was the last time it was touched on Curtis seeing Heather in prison or when Trina called Laura out in her office?

 

Same.

 

Same. Though I would like to add in Alexis's storyline to get her license back which I also felt progressed naturally as well. That and Finn exit story, I mean.

Yasssssss!!!! They finally made it back around to Ava, Sonny's meds, and the doctor!!!!

 

It goes without saying that I loved MW in those scenes. Ava is at her best when she is playing the villainess. And she had to throw some shade, too, cuz Sonny is always wife-ing up, ain't he? lol. As much as I like Ava to have the wiggle room of a conscience, I also like it when she ACTS. Well...schemes. And her vs Sonny scene...ooooh Ava was playing him like a fiddle. And the timing of Wagger at her door...delicious. 

 

Not them playing the beat of Sasha messing with the second DNA test. So 2 for 2 this episode on the plot points coming back around. If looks could kill, Felicia would have seen Sasha ash. 

 

Cody walking around shirtless for most of the episode. Perhaps it's the heat here...but I don't mind. lol. I DID mind Drew in that jacket, but he's been giving bubble butt in slacks most of this week so far so I was looking forward to more.

OMG yes. I just watched the 7-10 episode and she was giving me life with how she was playing Ava. It's making me miss the days of Eileen Davidson as Kristen Dimera on DAYS watching her. 

 

Knowing what she's planning, watching Ava basically set Sonny up pre-custody suit was a thing of beauty. Her body language. The subtleties in her voice. The looks. MW was GIVING. Sonny thinks he's entrapping Ava, but in reality...hehe.

The way, in the early days, she would slither around was... so perfect. I remember a scene, opposite William deVry's Julian where she proclaimed she was a Jerome, and then proceeded to stroke her own wrist and it was just... masterful. She played every beat then and she plays it now.

I'm disappointed we did not get more Eileen Davidson vs. Maura West on The Young and the Restless when West was Diane. That would've been magic.

She just knows what she's doing; she's a woman in a man's world, and she's playing it her way.

That she was. And she definitely do now.

 

While I thought she was miscast, that was no fault to MW who really did good with what she was given 

 

No one could ever accuse Ava of not being a ballbuster when need be. She for sure was playing it to the hilt.

Today's show was very underwhelming. Anything special in the writing is long gone.

The scenes with Anna and Valentine were particularly flat and silly. Something shocking would have been nice, like her actually turning him in or shooting him. Valentine is such a failed character; to ruin Anna over him is sad.

    • When I was a kid, I would watch DOOL with my mom. I remember Denise as Susan so well. And later, of course, on GH. How sad to hear she has passed. RIP.
    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
    • I was thinking that June could be Kat's mother and Eva is Nicole and Ted's.
    • You won't even miss her because Nola will be dominating the show till Raven comes back. Literally... there will be no boring second. Nola is just starting. You won't believe what will follow. Haha. And then as soon as that storyline is finishing up, Raven is back in top form.
