So I’m on last week, I’ve been zooming through to get caught up. Is Brady off the wagon now because of what Theresa did? Seems like an extreme reaction. 
 

The Devereauxs still trusting Kayla to handle anything medical for them is hilarious.

Body and Soul plus Connie running around town is way too much camp for one show. 
 

I’ve been enjoying Xander’s mom.

There’s something entertaining about Jack who himself has died and come back several times, now having to worry about his daughter who also has come back from the dead before. This show has made death so meaningless.

How does Leo not know who Hattie is?

Again, this feels like an episode making fun of us fans.  What if Phillip was born in 1995 and was a teen in 1999?  Lol.  Who would buy that?  Ugh....

The only "joke" I liked today was Leo reading Kim's book.  It obviously went too far, because of course, but it could have been a subtle nod to history.

I actually do like the idea of a lot of people in town working on the soap.  It can make for drama and connects people that aren't usually connected.

Honestly, the jokes are what make it so awful.  If they treated seriously it wouldn't be that bad.  Yes, it's ridiculous that half the town is going to be acting in this, but it really does bring characters together that don't usually interact at all.

I would prefer more people working at the paper, but Xander sold it back to Jack and I guess that's a wrap for it?  Lol.  Eric and Nicole are gone, Everett is dead, Xander gave it to Jack, and I am unclear if Leo and Stephanie still work there.  So that leaves Chad.  

It's weird how they built the Spectator up as the place people worked at and now have abandoned it for a soap.  I suspect this Body & Soul stuff won't last past Ron.

I appreciate this take because I agree that there is something intriguing about grouping a small cast into a singular workplace for interactions.  It provides some conflict for Johnny and Chanel that doesn't involve a baby.  And there is an opportunity to see characters share scenes that have rarely interacted in the past.  We have no idea what Titan and DI do, so this is a much more understandable setting, and it feels like a low-cost approach to establish new motives. 

But, it elevates the most obnoxious voices on social media.  RonC seems tortured by the responses to his writing, and it makes it feel as if he is chronically online like a teenager being bullied in high school.  There was pre-existing conjecture about his animosity toward fans, and these "jokes" do nothing to advance sympathy for his reaction.

I am not sad Bobby/Everett are gone, nor do I really care about the ending.  During the entire episode Jada/Stephanie were watching him die the show could have just wrapped it up.  Just finish the story.  It's so lazy to just kill him off without any conclusion.  That's more annoying to me than not knowing.

I really don't mind the premise.  Like you said, it's much easier to understand than what Dimera Enterprises does.  

I don't even mind a few jokes.  It's the entire story that feels like a mockery of the soap industry and the fans.  It's so strange Ron would even want to go there.  Does he hate his job?  Did he want to get fired?

I finally saw those episodes of Everett’s death last week. I couldn’t believe Jaida and Stephanie sat there being hysterical for an hour instead of ya know trying to save his life.

I like the twist of Xander’s mom hitting Sarah, but man is Sarah ever happy and healthy for more than 5 minutes before there’s another crisis.

    • The Cosby Show recorded in the same studio in Brooklyn. AW had had more black characters for a few years after Quinn first appeared. Not all of them lasted a long time, but we had the Morgans (Bob, Henrietta, RJ, Mary Sue), Quinn's brother Ed, Abel Marsh and his twin Leo Mars, Roy Bingham, Lily, and finally Carter and Grant Todd.

    • It is clear the secret involves some sort of roadside incident so it could have been a police stop. And tge Duprees support a police foundation could one of the clues that Martin's secret involves the police.
    • Hours later, I'm still wondering, what was EJ's plan in going to the hospital today? Does he think it's like a car dealership, and you can simply walk in and make an offer? That's why I laughed when Steve said that Dr. not-Rolf comes and goes.  One gets the sense the people in Salem randomly leave their offices, midday, to talk to relatives and co-conspirators.  I understand, they don't use the phone on soaps.  But, the amount of walking these citizens do in a day is remarkable.
    • Look how long it took to finally write Jack an age appropriate long term relationship with a woman he’s had history with since the damn 80’s. 
    • This Sarah/Xander Lake Geneva weekend getaway trip will either be where Xander finds out that Sarah knew about the Phillip situation, or an emergency happens that prevents them from going.  Brownie points for the Lake Geneva mention since that's the getaway for a lot of people that live in northern Illinois/Chicago. EJ is kinda hot... though I never thought that about him when the previous actor played him.  I do think a Dimera owning the hospital would be interesting since the Hortons/Brady's have always had a rivalry with the Dimeras... and carrying that over to the hospital would be organic.
    • In the "things you miss while FFing" category---that 'ho Lillian Raines wanted Ed to keep the affair up and sneak around? Flippin' WHAT THE HELL? Mo should've cut the bitch.
    • Absolutely. And I think Eden could play that in a reduced role, or until a recast comes round. I would easily give her a brainy comic love interest in the Spinelli vein regardless of who is playing Joss. I do think Eden works very hard, and can do certain things well. But I would at the least downshift her and then consider writing her out and bringing on someone else. She is not a lead.
