I think it is a given that Kayla is not very good at taking DNA samples.  So, I don't trust the results.  But, if nu-Abby turns out to be Gwen (given Leo's phone call), I'm going to have a mini-fit.

Also, I feel like today confirmed my new conspiracy theory.  Streaming services need viewers to watch a certain portion of a show to certify it as being watched.  So, I think that is why they never start the episode from the cliffhanger.  For example, today, we didn't see the fallout from the accident until well into the episode.  I think that they are burying the resolutions so that we have to stream it long enough to count as being watched. 

Finally, it is another example of my favorite game, “What time is it in Salem?”  Drag race is over, Xander is waiting for the final ferry, Small Bar had its last call, but Kayla is still in the office seeing patients and the hospital lab is open and doing DNA tests.

I fast-forward watched the last 3 episodes and thank God... that this show's got new writers coming in couple of months. I was not aware that Bradley Bell was not the worst, but... I guess I was wrong. It's laughably bad and cringe and... feels like a porno without the sex. Disturbing.

Billy Flynn was really good. It takes a lot to make something decent out of that absolute mess -- pretending that might be Abby. How did BF keep a straight face?

Was glad to again get a chance to LMAO at Kayla's doctor skills as she did NOTHING while telling Xander to leave the room and with Sarah lying there like a stiff. No one's checking Sarah, but Kayla does prepare a shot to give her. LOLOLOL

I think I'd have to try out both of them before making a final judgment on that.

I made it to August and this Connie character is really trying to make sure I don’t get any further. Why do we have a serial killer who is so campy and annoying. I should be scared but it’s not like they play her as a serious threat. Of course RC would make a serial killer comic relief.

Sarah is in some sort of crisis almost as much as John and Marlena trade off getting kidnapped. I’m slowly getting caught up and I actually laughed in the episode where Jack and Chad discover John. The show literally can’t think of anything to do with two senior citizens except continuing to have them kidnapped

The fact that both Marlena/John reacted so casually to John being kidnapped again is funny to me.  Sure, they both were mildly concerned and discussed it at the Pub.  Marlena was honestly more concerned with Leo's behavior than the entire John kidnapping.

I wish the show would delve into a real health issue for John/Marlena.  Something more realistic.  It seemed like the show was thinking about it with John's aneurism/brain issues a few years back but it was all dropped.  I think the DHs would do a good job in that type of story but it might be touchy given their own ages.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By chrisml · Posted

      I've watched more episodes, but I wanted to make one short comment before I made my longer post. Someone on the show loves dressing men in ways where they have plunging necklines and show lots of chest hair. Not complaining but I think Chief Marceau (sp?) and Logan are the only two who have not shown their chest hair at this point. I have now watched episodes 6077 to 6090. I'm up to September 11, 1979. Nancy and Mike have returned from their vacation. Ann Flood is another wonderful presence. She's only had a few scenes, but I already like her. They're worrying about Draper and his lost job offer in New York. The truth is slowly coming out. I can't say that I'm invested all that much. I still don't care all that much about Draper, but he's no longer bellowing and whining so it's all good. He has had some nice scenes with April and there was an uncomfortable confrontation with Margo. Draper and Logan's scenes are where I like him the best. The two actors play well off each other. Also, Draper and Raven have an interesting thing in scenes. I wonder if they hook up at some point. They always give each other weird looks during scenes. Is this foreshadowing? Hmmm. The Raven of it all. MY word Sharon Gabet is amazing. How did she not win the Emmy? Was this going on during the Judith Light time? Gabet owns every scene. Raven and Eliot's scenes crack me up. Gabet and Lois Kibee are giving masterclass acting scenes in their moments together. I never wanted their confrontations to end. Kibbee's Geraldine has discovered Raven doing something she should not be doing and that confrontation was pitch perfect. The later scene with Logan was shocking. He does something that I've rarely seen on soaps. Such good storytelling and acting. I also liked how April and Draper were drawn into the madness.  Paige/Tobias/kidnapping/Steve: This is the one storyline that suffers because I came into the show late. I'm not connecting to it as much although I enjoy it. Steve and his low cut shirt amuse me. Calvin is such a cute and bright presence. I thought they were writing him off, but he's back  so apparently not. Marceau seems to be leaving but I hope not. The actor is wonderful. Deborah has come back in the episode I just started so Frances Fisher is here. I will say the actor playing Tobias is excellent. I think he was on another ABC show I watched but I'm not googling.  Nora/Owen/Eddie/Brian/Paige: After a week of non-stop Nora, the movie storyline has not started full force yet. It's more about Nora's drinking and Brian and Paige's feelings for each other. Nora is becoming more manipulative as she lies to all of them so they will make the movie. Owen revealed Brian's secret which I accidentally guess from the first episode, but I actually don't think it's true. Eliot/Margo: Margo had a fantastic scene with April where April confronted her about the real relationship she has with Eliot. Mario admitted the truth. It's so refreshing when characters are intelligent and honest. It makes their mistakes even more heartbreaking. They're not idiots. Eliot is such a fabulous character. He's an absolute slime and yet he's one of the most compelling characters on the show. So nice to be hooked into a soap opera again.

      Joss can go, permanently; killed off, body bag and all, and never ever return.

      I was under the impression that it is always wrong to post private email unless there is some threat of bodily harm. But I think your doing so brings up an interesting point since it shows that I had known about the illness/disease since the prior April if I am wrong & you are right & my point was to break the news why didn't I post it ages ago? My reply is that my point was never about scoop or breaking news.  Somewhere in this onslaught you've said I posted about some actors having an affair. I have zero idea what or who you're talking about.  You mention a cast member's medical condition which about a dozen people discussed & someone NOT ME began the discussion at least a month before I joined it.  Is everyone who took part in that conversation based on having concern for the actress in trouble or just me? There are definitely things that are not true ... and they are not lies told by me. Probably they are things being misremembered.

      Lol.  I still believe there is a place for Joss on the canvas.  This just isn't it and I am not sure Eden McCoy is the right choice for the role.

      I haven't read it since high school--but it has stuck with me and is a pretty important book (as a kid I did always assumed it was related to the Wells work too

      This would be a weird comment to make about the face of the show if it wasn't damn accurate. In the 90s she was mostly confined to her own orbit with her daughters and Cass, aside from a few stories. Her relationship with Rachel was pretty weird too. A case of tell not show. They seemed to be there for each other at big moments (weddings, funerals, etc.) and proclaim how close they were, but rarely interacted outside of those. I only remember one storyline they had together - the Lucas lookalike - but that was more about their significant others' animosity if I'm remembering correctly. In hindsight, it was pretty strange how little Rachel, Felicia & Donna - all around the same age give or take - had to do with each other for the last decade. The actresses were all top-10 in longevity for the entire show and made it to the finish line, but never meaningfully mixed it up at the end. Even Donna dating Rachel's son didn't lead to many interactions between those 2. I can understand JFP's reasoning for getting rid of Donna, even if I didn't agree with it (she was my favorite of the 3).

      It's called being pro-active.. something that soap operas have failed to do in the last twenty to twenty five years. The Duprees are not a compelling family.. .a lot of telling and not showing.  I'm actually more invested in the non-Dupree characters then the Duprees right now.
