Okay... so it looks like Theresa plead guilty so she is definitely looking at some sort of prison time. I don't know why Andrew is still hashing out a plea deal; I thought that would've been resolved by now. I don't know if part of that plea deal includes reducing the charges to misdemeanors, but if she actually has plead guilty to felony charges, that is going to go on her permanent record and some places of employment won't even hire her because of her felony record. Depending on the state, she won't be able to legally own a firearm or even vote. So yeah, not looking too good for Theresa right now. Either way, I highly doubt that she's going to want to do anything that's going to land her right back in prison, so hopefully this will scare her straight.

I’m not really sure about them merging John’s storyline with the Abby storyline but I am still interested in it. Hopefully, it’ll be better then when they merged Connie’s with Bobby-Everett’s.  

Speaking of him, Stephanie opening up to Kayla about him was really nice. They really should have more scenes together. 

As for Brady/Alex, them suddenly becoming all buddy-buddy seems like the wrong move. They should still have some animosity towards each other over everything that happened with Theresa. Add in the way that each of them feel about Xander, along with Brady sleeping with Fiona and you get a pretty big mess/war between the three of them that could be really good to see. 

Same goes for Alex giving up everything to Xander so easily; it seems like the wrong move and also is cutting off the potential for more storylines and to add more layers to existing storylines.

Agreed.

Ron, and the scab writers too, made a really big mistake by not playing up what this all did to Alex and Justin’s relationship, a lot more than they should have. That needed to be one of the most important dynamics of that storyline, and should still be going on.

And a proper Brady/Theresa/Alex triangle seems like a missed opportunity as well, especially since Brady and Theresa spent that night together. 

That might be RSW’s portrayal more than anything lol 

Well, look who the head writer is (was)

Darn RonC! I fell for it again.  He's always got a good setup for a mystery and then poor follow through.  There aren't enough clues to actually solve the crime, so as an audience we are always twelve steps behind.  And the characters get distracted by random stuff, like John calling Marlena, rather than answering the questions that we want to know.

On a positive note, I'm glad that they specified that Xander doesn't have the inheritance yet.    At least the ridiculousness of some random drunk guest at a wedding isn't being used as the sole excuse to hand over an entire family empire to a bastard child. 

But, how long has Brady been running around town commando?  And why wouldn't he go home to put on some drawers before going out to the bar?

And, gotta love a soap town, Connie, Stephanie, and Alex are all able to move into fully furnished apartments without one box or a bag.  All the knickknacks are in place, and no need to even buy a new shower curtain.

Today was one of those days with the mostly boring storylines. 

I thought Johnny and Chanel were sweet, but they deserve a lot better than this Body and Soul crap. Honestly, everybody does. 

Btw, was it just me or were they doing some of kind of Johnny/Gabi chem test at the beginning of today? I actually wouldn’t mind that, mainly because of EJ’s reaction to it lol 

I don’t mind Alex/Stephanie 2.0 either but I still think they’re missing an opportunity for Alex to be the villain, to somehow get back at Xander for everything that just happened. That could cause conflict for him and Stephanie in the future. He would just need another character to talk with about scheming, like Sonny or somebody. Btw, Sonny’s gone? Just like that? 

And as for that final scene with Connie/“Li”, I rolled my eyes so hard, I think I saw my brain.

I had an idea, kind of wild. If Theresa got all the way to the airport gate before she turned herself around & returned to Salem & the site of her ignominious crimes, what if at that gate she suddenly became afraid of running into ... GWEN!!!!

I am so confused as to how Stephanie easily got her old apartment back when Chad had to bunk with Maggie for months lol.  If it was vacant this whole time why didn't he and the kids live there?  And why does Stephanie need an apartment big enough for 4 people? 

Today was boring.

I honestly don't care about this Ava/Stefan stuff at all.  I think Ava is mostly useless.  I love TB, but why is Ava still on canvas?  Tripp is gone.  Harris is gone.  She should have left when Steve did.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
