Hahahahahahaha!!!! God, I wanted Victor to destroy his world at some event, but noooooooooooooo Chelesa had to jump the gun. 

 

And good to see on here that SC will be getting something since the collective Spoiler Thread is too much spoiler for me.

It was definitely uneven, but fingers crossed.

Indeed. Wake me up when the latest pointless quad from Hades is over with. Maybe it would’ve worked better if a crazed Chelsea made advances on Adam but he refused, yet Adam at least let Sally know, and a disgruntled but forgiving Sally at least tried to cover up for Chelsea’s sake and sanity would’ve worked better IDK. Maybe. 
 

As it stands now, Sally should set her sights on a new man, Billy needs to be reeled in by Lily on his leash, Chelsea needs to check into Fairview for an extended stay, and Adam can dive into his work but realize he has deal with a legal/business matter that involves Heather.

-- Does ANYONE care about the aftermath of Adam sleeping with Chelsea? I don't care about ANY of them.

-- I hate to criticize child actors, but can we stop praising this kid who plays Connor? He's just not all that good.

-- More sets mess. Nikki went from breakfast with Victor at the GCAC to having coffee at Crimson Lights. Victor went from the GCAC breakfast to having drinks with Neil at Society. Chelsea and Adam are arguing at the park? It all sucks so bad.

Ans Nikki, who went from the GCAC with Victor to Crimson Lights with Lily, is now ar Society with Victor.

Are you kidding me with this??? It just gets worse and worse.

They seem to only write about one mental health problem and then start the same storyline with a different character.  I tired of the Connor story weeks before it ended and now I am tired of Sharon's mental health issue.  MOVE ON!

Who praised the actor named Connor? I thought everyone was over the OCD storyline PERIOD. Did I miss something?

 

That said...coming into September...

 

Courtney Hope ROCKED those reveal scenes. Out of everyone in that horrible quad, she was the only one I felt sympathy for. And I continued to be right since Billy stormed his entitled a$$ into Adam's apartment out of clear spite to tell on him to Sally. Billy can go jump in the lake. Chelesa can STFU. But Adam/Sally...oooooOOO...those were some good scenes. I didn't like the coda (that Adam might actually having feelings for Chelesa again), but I felt everything that CH was throwing down as Sally. 

 

I live for any moment involving Tracy. And I continue to love her love life with Alan. And now she's staying in Genoa City. It should be fun.

 

Turn, turn, turn. That's pretty much how I'm feeling about the Sharon. Time for an epiphany.

 

 

I like your idea better.

 That said...I did love watching Courtney Hope tear into Adam as an enraged Sally. 

 

Yeah outside of Nick...I wouldn't know who to aim Sally at next myself.  But oooo at revisiting Adam and Heather.

And entering September continues...and saying that...

 

So I was on point with this Sharon storyline. I thought that this might involve Daniel somehow. And it looks like Sharon has some buried anger at him. Not what I was expecting, but hmmm. And watching the Cassie parellels...well...surprisingly did not bother me, but this will never be writing on that level. 

 

Good on Lily for fighting for her position!!! And look at who she will going to this week to help. Oooooooo YES, PLEASE. Destroy Billy.

 

To the Friday cameraman...THANK YOU.

    • 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.
