A few things: Before we dump Diane, an affair with Alexis. Supposedly NLG has wanted to play a relationship with a woman for years. Diane about to exit would be perfect. They each would be shocked at first. Then in thrall. Both intent on secrecy. Almost getting  caught.  Risk taking, getting off on the danger. Both coming back to men. I have now forgotten what the other things were.

Absolutely loving Ava, Scotty, and Jagger as a team. Anyone as anti-Sonny as they are instantly get my support even though I know it will always end in them losing.

James listening in on Willow/Nina is such an interesting little twist now. Also Willow is never going to forgive Nina once she realizes she’s been opening up to her while Nina also sleeps with him. So messy I love it.

-- I do not want to see this. No thanks.

-- The Who Should We Cut lists are interesting, but by the time everyone weighs in, there's no one left on the show.

-- In other news, why is Cyrus back? I know Frank loves Jeff Korber, but come on. Kill me now with the "good guy with a Bible" stuff.

Yeah I was not happy to see Cyrus again but his scenes with Laura and Kevin were fine.

So Lulu has Liver failure…I guess we’re headed for a transplant that wakes her up. Once again I much prefer watching Laura fighting for her family as opposed to the Heather crusade.

Loved the scenes with Dante and Rocco, they should use Rocco more often he and Danny are the best of the teen bunch IMO.

I enjoyed seeing Sam back in the mix. I really need them to get over whatever Kelly Monaco bias they have because she makes the Davis girls dynamic more interesting. Same with Dante, Jason, and Drew and her lack of presence is felt badly IMO.

Jagger is really going under the bus man, oh well lol. Alexis and Sonny made a fool out of him in court and he looked crazy having a meltdown in front of the judge because he was too stupid to put evidence together before Kristina’s arrest. Then that last scene with Ava was just creepy.

I enjoyed Ava and Nina’s scenes but it makes no sense for Ava to admit to her she moved evidence around after Kristina’s hotel window flight into the pool, or for Nina to be such a willing ear after Ava helped isolate Sonny at the end of Nina’s marriage to him. Its obvious thus regime just wants to reset them back to friends. I peeped what MW and CW did with how they played the beat of Ava telling Nina she knows she’d never hurt a mother and child and kudos to them for selling the material as much as they could.

I’m glad Molly and TJ fully addressed their issues too those were good scenes there. I also thought Sonny and Kristina scenes in the opener where he took responsibility for Jagger going after her because of his predator behavior with Karen were good and the stuff with him and Alexis in the courthouse and at the end at her house taking care of Kristina.

Really solid episode overall the show is working much better as a whole.

I’m so happy Molly and TJ are now realizing this was all Kristina’s fault.

Also now that Jason is back to completely being Sonny’s errand boy, I can confidently say I much preferred SBu as Harris on Days.

Jagger arresting Kristina in her wheelchair is an AMAZING cliffhanger.

    • I really didn't start watching the show until season 12 when I was a teen, so I only caught the last three years. I LOVED the show over all though...even that part of 13 that was a bit messy! So, it's been a treat streaming the previous seasons on Plex. I'm amazed at how well so much of the writing holds up over 30 years later. Far better than a lot that we get today! For the most part, stories move along at nice pace with good twists and turns! I just finished season 11, so I'm finally picking up where I started watching all those years before. When I started watching as a teen, Laura had already died, so while she was mentioned pretty often, I didn't have much background with the character. CM was an amazing actress and had chemistry with everyone. So, it's a bit of a headscratcher that they didn't seem to have any idea of what to do with her starting at around season 7. Her scenes at that point are mostly short, brief, and she has very little true story right until the episodes where she's dying in 9. I wonder what it was about the character that the writers couldn't figure out what to do with her. Also, Ben's exit storyline was a bit confusing for me. I never really got who this woman was who was stalking him and this "secret organization." The whole plot seems like it should be on a different show. Michelle Phillips and Nicolette Sheridan have really fun mom/daughter/frenemies chemistry. I remember having a huge crush on PP's Michael and being disappointed when he was written out at the end of season 12. 
    • mayoclinic: Symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and how severe they are can vary. People with the disorder can: Have an unreasonably high sense of self-importance and require constant, excessive admiration. Feel that they deserve privileges and special treatment. Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements. Make achievements and talents seem bigger than they are. Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate. Believe they are superior to others and can only spend time with or be understood by equally special people. Be critical of and look down on people they feel are not important. Expect special favors and expect other people to do what they want without questioning them. Take advantage of others to get what they want. Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others. Be envious of others and believe others envy them. Behave in an arrogant way, brag a lot and come across as conceited. Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office. At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they view as criticism. They can: Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special recognition or treatment. Have major problems interacting with others and easily feel slighted. React with rage or contempt and try to belittle other people to make themselves appear superior. Have difficulty managing their emotions and behavior. Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change. Withdraw from or avoid situations in which they might fail. Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection. Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, humiliation and fear of being exposed as a failure. --- Or maybe Leslie simply has Soap Villain Syndrome.
    • Ambryn Michelle and Trisha Mann-Grant are easily the most charismatic actresses to grace daytime in a longggggggg time. This show wouldn’t be as good without them, IMO. 
    • whatever she has is far worse. Narcissism is just a symptom for deeper issues.

    • What is it? I already know Ambyr was electrifying.
    • The show isn't great right now, but I do hope it can stay on, unlikely as that may be. I guess at least it's better than this time last year. I will say it doesn't really feel like Shortland Street anymore.
    • You guys are going to die when you watch the first scene of today's episode.
    • True. We agree here. She is far from done.
    • Jacob's brother is named "Luke" and their mother is named "Darlene", for the sake of specifics and all.
