You don't often see someone on screen with acne scars - everyone has "perfect" skin.  I'm someone who's been cursed with bad skin and it's something that's never going to go away, unfortunately, so when I saw AnnaLynne on screen with those scars, it made me proud of her because I know how insecure one can get and how emotionally draining it can be at times.  Thank you, AnnaLynne, for showing your strength by not letting those negative thoughts and feelings get in the way of you pursuing your acting career.  Thank you for showing something real about you.  It means a lot.

Connie and Melinda, Skip

I’m glad that Jennifer was smart at the beginning and immediately suspected that something was up about “Abigail”. A mother always knows.

Too bad that Jack and Chad managed to change her mind. The writers should have had Jennifer keep having those doubts. Not only would it have been a good dynamic for this storyline but it would have kept Jack and Jennifer on the canvas and a part of it, which they really should be. 

I will say that Jennifer’s meltdown seemed a little out of character though. 

The Gabi/Stefan/Ava confrontation was good too. Cherie Jimenez conveyed the anger and the heartbreak pretty well, even though I wish there had been more heartbreak written into the script. I’m curious as to where they’re all gonna go from here, especially Ava, since she basically has no part anymore.

Back from vacation 4/10

Gotta love the classic trope of Connie confessing everything to her dying victim.  Going on about 'here's why I did it', and 'here's how I did it'.  As if explaining the motive and opportunity to the audience will help this ridiculous story make sense.  It still feels as if we are blowing through plotlines, but if Connie survives this twist, I am going to be very annoyed.

I'm also consistently amused that faux-Abby (Fabby?) was stuck in a rundown apartment, but she's got a heck of blow out hairdo, and some banging outfits.  Didn't anyone notice her using her Amazon-prime account to buy a Dyson Airwrap and some form-fitting dresses and robes?  Why doesn't anyone in the soap universe own a set of luggage?

I also thought nu-Gabi knocked it out of the park today.  To me, she is now officially just 'Gabi' and I am dropping the 'nu' from all further references. 

The specificity of Boston feels so random.  We've re-established that they are close to Chicago when Johnny talked about jobs in entertainment.  Yet, there seems to be an hourly shuttle between Salem and Boston where Jack, Jennifer, Bo, Hope, Shawn, Belle, Ben, Ciara, and their two kids lives.  That's a lot of characters in one place off-screen.  Do Mike, Nancy, Joy, Chloe, and Parker live in New York or Massachusetts?

    • I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore. 
    • My favorite moment in SOAPDISH is the HW taking the star to the mall in NJ to improve "morale"!! 
    • Oh no! The shoulder pads! I will mourn them when they're gone. Please tell me the head pieces and hats remained!?
    • Shout! TV has now added season 26. Not sure what the reasoning for that was, but maybe it was the one that was ready to go... 
    • It's AWFULLY hard to tell.  But out of the (approximately) 16 weeks so far in 2025, Bryton has only had about 12 episodes.  That's significantly less than 1 per week.  Once the actor drops down to less than 1 per week for an extended period of time (such as a 39-week cycle), I start thinking there's no contract in place for him or her.  Surely these folks aren't tying themselves down to a show for a guarantee of 1 or 2 episodes a month.   If I counted right, Bryton has had 21 episodes in the past 24 weeks.  They're either (a) about to kick into high-gear & work his ass off to meet his minimum guaranteed appearances, or else (b) he ain't got a contract that guarantees him squat.  
    • These contract guarantees of 1 ep per month are ridiculous. How can you even have a story if your character apprars 4-5 times in a month? It's sad.
    • It's hard to tell with some actors appearing on average 4 times in a month whether they're recurring or just on a low guarantee contract. Someone recurring  like Beth Maitland can be used a lot for several months then disappear. So the monthly tallies aren't enough to go by.
    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.
