Ahhh

So, he's her depersonalized super-ego.  Who knew Carlvatti's team was so Freudian?

Regarding today's episode:

  1. Can you imagine Fiona's minibar bill?  I paid $12 for M&Ms in a hotel room last week.  That explains her motive to reconnect with Xander.
  2. Good to see Mark is a soap doc.  He's an OB-GYN/Neurology/Geneticist.  Small town docs can't afford to be specialists, they have to do everything.
  3. Also, the scab writers may have been better at dialogue, but the WGA writers are back to being horny.  We haven't seen this many love scenes in months.  And, there was zero reason why Tate is working out in his underwear.

I see your point.  I took it more as Sarah being positive and trying to be strong for those around her.   And because she's a Dr. she's aware of what she's facing.  LG was probably a bit too giggly with it all, but LG makes some strange performance choices sometimes.

The performance and the writing were odd.  Holly & Sarah eating donuts and being coy about her teenaged love affair, while Sarah hadn't seen her baby since being in a near-fatal car accident, was more than a little weird (to quote the modern vernacular).

I am pretty sure Xander brought Victoria to Sarah the other day.  

It was strange Dr. Mark Greene went on and on about Holly/Aaron's prom date.  Like Sarah cares.  Weird for a grown man to shame a stupid teenage girl about something Aaron didn't even care about and was low stakes, petty drama.

It would have been much more natural to just say Holly was his brother's prom date and Holly could have explained it if Sarah wanted to know more.  It was creepy Mark was that invested lol.

I am hoping we learn more about her and her life.  I'd be mad at Tate/Holly if I was Sophia too, but it's a pretty extreme reaction to try to destroy Holly and her relationship.  They were bff for years, right?  And Sophia just had a crush on Tate.  Teenagers are ridiculous though, so maybe that's normal lol.

She definitely needs a backstory, especially if she's gonna stick around.

If it were me, I'd probably say something about Sophia being neglected by her parents. Or being bullied at school and that Holly was her first true friend, or so she thought. She could've explained all that to Tate and then tried to seduce him later

In the past, one of the ways writer's used teen pregnancy was to prove that two people had sex.  But, given Allie's pregnancy, and the fact that this crowd are supposed to be high school juniors, I hope they would avoid that issue.  So, I wonder if they could employ more modern storytelling devices such as social media or AI to tell the Tate, Holly, Sophia story?

For example, Sofia could start liking Tate's posts on Instagram (Dimera-gram?) or using AI to fake interactions.  Anything to avoid another unwanted baby, and the inevitable discussions about parental responsibility.  I always think that X (formerly known as Twitter) is the Phoebe Tyler of today, with all the instant judgments about people's lives, and the desire to promote a perfect image.  So, I'd rather see it used more often. 

Also, where's next week's promo?

    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them.
