I am no Melissa Reeves fan, and in fact, I find her reprehensible.

Still, Cady McClain is NOT Jennifer Horton. She's just not. Everything about her performance is overdone and overbaked. The truth is, she's awful in the role. That meltdown was out-of-character absurdity.

Oh yeah, I just realized how stupid it is that Kayla examined Abby, and didn't notice that she doesn't have any visible signs of plastic surgery or physical trauma from an accident.

I'm willing to accept a lot, but it seems like Chad's only motive for believing this is Abby is that he needs more help with childcare now that Julie is busy.  

And why is everyone treating Jennifer like she's a kook for not buying this story?  She may be a drug abusing, accident-prone, philanderer, but she's always been a smart cookie. 

Also, happy 73rd birthday to Mike Horton #9, Wesley Eure.

As far as I am concerned Cady could be on the show 5 days a week, every week. Personally I think she is more Jennifer Rose-ish, the more she is on. Like not playing the part for months is an impediment to the acting. Where the more she does it, the better she is at it. Honestly, I will also say that holds true for Matt Ashford, as well.

Now I have watched the show. I had 0 problem with  Cady but I did really hate the writing! There's no way in heaven or hell that Jennifer would have left & returned to Boston!!! My rose is Jennifer Rose. I think she was realistic. My thorn has to be whoever wrote this mess!

Finished yesterday's episode.

What aired yesterday was not what was in the promo video. I think that is why it was taken down from YouTube.

What we saw was an edited episode from the original promo video. Shame they did it.

Wayyyy too much Body and Soul today. It felt like a Jamey episode too. Y’all really want this on The Gates?

And that’s a big Hell No on whatever may happen between Alex and Chanel. Not only because it’s stupid af, but because they’re missing huge opportunities for actual good storylines, with Johnny/Chanel and them dealing with the miscarriage. And for Alex, him coming to terms with not being Victor’s son and being pitted against Xander. I had a feeling Ron wasn’t gonna put his two straight boy obsessions against each other, but it’s still a huge missed opportunity. Btw, what was the point of Alex and Theresa even getting married if Emily O’Brien was gonna be sent packing almost immediately? 

I also found all the meta talk about young, sexy characters on soaps absolutely hilarious because at the same time that’s happening, the lead characters on Days are a 50 year old manchild and a 40 year old fuckboy

    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
    • no argument here! and as she was singing, i kept wondering how many verses ‘amazing grace’ had. looked it up: 13 — 13! — and i think she must have sung  every one. 
    • Yasss, ANITA!!! GET HER!!!   Awww at Smitty calming Martin down.   'Oh, you're the one leaving.' That face like stone. Go 'head, Nicole.    Eva vs Kat...the gift that keeps giving.    
    • 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). You could see how hurt and annoyed she was. I'm surprised he thought she came up with the baby story herself. She and Charles Keating did a good job with the material but it was absolute hokum. Even if they loved Carl and Rachel (and clearly they did), I don't see them coming up with stuff that, frankly, read like Geocities fan fic. 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. It was also fascinating reading her comments about Rachel being in her, fighting back against the writing, and how she had to try to mediate. Reminds me of Marie Masters talking about how hard it was to say goodbye to Susan when she'd been with her for 40 years. That subject is always compelling, that duality. And it reminds me of Eddie Drueding's comments a year or two earlier about Rachel losing her drive. Clearly Victoria saw her the same way.
    • 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.
