I am loving Annika these past few episodes. This girl is bringing it constantly - she deserves a proper storyline. JMW too. They BOTH need something MORE. Bradley - just copy/paste some of your father's storylines from the 80s and let us enjoy something, don't try to be original, doll.

I'd love to see Steffy and Hope in stories that gave them more to do than bicker with each other or fight over the same dullard of a dude (Liam, Finn...yada yada). Both actresses can do...and deserve...a LOT more! I am enjoying a feistier Hope. That poor actress had to cry in about almost every episode for....years! It's nice to see her do some fun things for a change.

Watching the show today...I thought that Carter and Hope would look hot together if they could craft the right story. God knows LSV is someone else who deserves sooo much more than they give him!

Katie needs a hobby. Being jealous over Bill again is a yawn. I still don't know WHO Poppy is... she's so ill-defined, but I'm hoping she is messy and a bit underhanded. Luna needs a edge badly. She's TOO perfect.

I could care less who killed the homeless rocker dude and Hollis (as handsome as he was). It's soooo contrived.

Yes to all of this. And Poppy's 15 second scream because someone was opening a door was... why a lot of people think soap operas are the worst of the worst on TV.

I am not feeling any of the new characters. Any of them. They are incredibly underdeveloped. This is a problem Bradley has always had with trying new paths and new personalities. He just can't do it most of the time, bores of them easily and always has to go back to basics which is opening Brooke's legs. Or some boring triangle with Liam in it.

One thing that irked me about the script is the complete lack of realism in the past few episodes. Luna coming in from outside, seeing Will for the first time in flesh and asking "Who are you?" was absolutely absurd, SINCE NuWill's photo was standing just behind him IN A FRAME. You can't tell me that Luna and Poppy HAVEN'T looked at the few pictures that are framed in the living room. I mean... if they haven't... then this is idiotic. Idiotic writing. Reminds me of Poppy asking Katie who is this... when she met her, all while she was sleeping and practically living in Bill's house. Katie's picture is also up there and even if it wasn't, just a QUICK google search about Bill will show you who she is.

So, yeah, Bradley once again writing, like we are 13 year old.

I thought the SAME THING. Dude's picture was sitting on the mantle! Are we supposed to believe that Luna never noticed it, or Bill never showed it to her? It shouldn't have taken much for Luna to put 1 + 1 together to come up with it's Will standing in front of her. Poor Luna is not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.

Bill's "mansion" looks like it's six feet wide.

Right! And how are we supposed to care about these characters when they are written like that? I mean... and even if the picture WAS not behind him, out of sheer respect to your newfound dad... and family... why wouldn't she look Will up on google or facebook. We are not living in the 1980s anymore. The plot holes in this show are like the Mariana trench.

CM has some of the same tics his dad has in acting. He has that same frat boy vibe his dad has too.

Why is his mouth/facial reactions half crooked?

CM doesn't pass as Bill's son look wise. 

Yes I watched

I was curious

DID Luna accuses Poppy of killing the homeless guy after finding the mysterious backpack and letters claiming she's the daughter of a homeless guy.

Seriously Bill treated Katie like sh!t! Why would she care about him?

Finn is a wimp. He does nothing for me anymore.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
