From the first scene, today was an improvement over yesterday. The script was clearly worked on by real writers and not obsessed fans. 

I liked the little family bonding scenes with Xander/Sarah/Maggie/Fiona. I thought the dynamics between them and also Fiona’s alcoholism were built up pretty well. 

Brady and Tate’s drunken phone call was good too, but again, they should have had Tate realize Brady was drunk and be angry and upset about it, which in turn could have caused problems for him and Holly. He was too carefree about it. And about Theresa being sent to prison.

Same could be said for Tate/Holly deciding not to have sex. They should have had Holly be angry at Tate instead of her immediately realizing that she was just caving to pressure by Sophia. Like, why are they afraid to write good, internal conflict for Tate and Holly? Tate did look hot though

I wonder how Jamie Martin Mann would’ve played that scene. 

As for Chad/“Abby”, I didn’t see that much chemistry between them. 

But both cliffhangers were really good. They were definitely a good hook to get people to watch tomorrow.

Tate's probably just happy that he doesn't have to deal with his mom anymore and maybe he's even secretly hoping that he won't have to see her ever again. 

Also, what are they even doing with Holly and Tate? What was the point of that scene if they weren't even going to sleep together? Wow, these two are really boring, aren't they? Sophia is literally the only thing making them interesting right now.

Tate just continues to be the most laid back teenager on the planet.  So many things are going on around him and he's just hanging out with Holly.  JMM played Tate with more feelings?  More high strung?   I also still find Holly pretty unlikeable still.  She's was okay today.  I just find her very selfish.

I surprisingly find Fiona very interesting.  She's (so far) a character I actually want to know more about.  Although I can't believe sober Maggie didn't smell the champagne in Fiona's glass when Fiona actually handed it to her to hold.  My mother doesn't drink and I swear she can smell alcohol on anyone from 100 yards away lol.

I am not sure how I feel about Nu"Abby".  I thought it was incredibly pushy the way Chad took her to the mansion and tried to force her to remember.  Just buy the girl a hamburger at the Pub and let her breathe for a few minutes!

It is confusing where the roads are in Salem because everyone seems within walking distance of the square.  Do they drive onto the ferry, or is the island just for walking?  I mean, it seems like the only time we ever see anyone driving, we know that there will be an accident.

Same here -- I'm on the Diamond tier. I filed the email price increase when I got it. Hopefully, it won't show up on my bill and I won't have to spend 2 hours calling them.

The upper tier is called the Diamond tier. It includes over 150 channels, most of which I never watch.

I checked out moving to a lower tier, but that would have kicked in a charge for Peacock and a very low storage capacity for my DVR -- for a "savings" that made none of it make sense.

    • I have to admit I still have a nagging complaint about timelines - Why aren't we allowed to know how long Ted and Nicole have been married or how old Kat and Eva are? Or for that matter, when Anita last released an album? BTG is a new show with no SORAS or timewarping. MVJ and Guza are working from a fresh bible. There is no need to be so coy about ages and anniversaries, especially when most of the storylines are driven by past events.
    • It was an extremely rare interview even then - I was shocked when I read it (as mentioned I'd forgotten just how far in she went).  Malone was clearly hobbled by NBC and P&G, but re-using so many of his old stories and his soap bible instead of actually coming up with material suited to the characters or show did not help.
    • Seeing this trash get good ratings says nothing good about daytime audiences. It's embarrassing.
    • Cat does feel committed to being a goofball (the other term has been reconsidered in recent years).  I wonder, given her brother Aaron, if Cat was less attractive prior to the surgery?  Remember the 1973 movie The Girl Most Likely to?  My fanfic for the moment is Cat commenting on how people treat her differently now that she is gorgeous.  One assumes that pre-surgery, Cat never had two men fighting over her for a date.  So, it might be fun to see that side of the story.
    • It's probably one of the only conflicts the story will have, aside from Dante being upset with Lulu when the truth comes out. They really needed someone else who actually knows Gio is Dante and Brook Lyn's son and kept quiet.
    • So Cat wasn't a creation of Ron C.. but something that the strike writers generated? Perhaps the new writers will give her some layers and purpose on the show that doesn't revolve around Chad since isn't he on his way out next year?
    • Another good show today, but -- Why is super agent Joss holding that thumb drive in plain sight instead of stashing it in her denim shorts? Make it make sense. -- Dante going after Gio (in the previews) for Rocco's alcohol poisoning is lame and cliche, just a contrived way to drive a wedge between father and son.
    • Didn't he get all angry because the strike writers set her up to be Abigail? And he just went with the first thing that came to mind in order to prevent that?

    • That was an incredible interview.  I cannot imagine it ever happening with a performer currently on a soap.  I remember being extremely disappointed in Michael Malone.  I wish we had all of the backstage scoop on where things went wrong with him.
    • Go 'head, Brandon!! I was worried about this meltdown, but he's giving a pretty good meltdown. Knowing when to do it and just the right moment to pull back a bit.    These Kat vs Eva scenes. The best soap rivalry has the rivals have some empathy for the others though they dislike each other. And they are giving.    Yay! A brief SilkPress vs Dani moment.
