Re-pairing Spinelli with Maxie helped both characters out (for me).

I have always liked Spinelli/Maxie.  I think it works now especially since Spinelli is a bit more mature and not so hyper and out of control.  

There was just a time when if I had to hear one more Spinelli "nickname" or "quirky" antic I felt like punching a wall.

I agree with all of this!!!!

Spinelli was firmly in my turn off my brain and find something else to do when he’s onscreen camp for the majority of his tenure. The mature Spinelli with Maxie works.

I didn't like him, quite a lot, for a long time. Now that I have realized - took me way too long - that he is on the spectrum, I see him totally differently. And, so, now I like Spin! 

BTW, in case anyone was wondering this is Day 191 of Jason's Return.

-- I NEVER thought I'd get CLOSE to liking Spinelli again after holding actual contempt for the character. Like others here, I've done a 180 on him.

-- Like others here, I am so done with Diane. I do appreciate that so many people hate her.

-- So glad that we're seeing so much of Liz these days.

-- Why didn't Anna tell Carly to get her ass out of Isaiah's room when she questioned him?

Fingers crossed that it is not.

I know folks give NLG a lot of flack for her online antics, and sometimes it's deserved, but she's been hitting it out of the proverbial ball park with these scenes. 

Oh she has mos def been on fire. Even when she's just reacting. I love me some Mama Bear Alexis.

Yeah, this version of that couple is divine. Because they FINALLY grew up enough...and are still enough of their general personalities...that they make sense. 

9-10

 

I would say the week is off to a strong start. I would say the only false note so far has been how random it seems to see Jordan and Drew around each other now. That...and the Heather storyline. I mean how did we go from a silly story that could have been a great umbrella story that had the town divided...to just something to give Portia (and Ric) something to do. 

 

Two great days of Molly large and in charge. I still very much wish that she would have really let loose with Kristina on the 9-9 episode (at least she did with Alexis),  but she really got into her today. And as someone who hates when two people who supposedly are close enough to have code that even I can figure out, I LOVE Molly busting Kristina and Michael because their face code sucks. lol. And now she thinks that Kristina might be behind Wagger's death. smh. I did like that Kristina has enough of a brain to wonder why Michael is having her back...unknowing that Michael knows who really killed Wagger. Oh, what a tangled web we weave...

 

Okay NOW I'm wondering if there is something more I've supposed to be taking from these Jason/Anna scenes. At first it just felt like common interests and comradierie. But the scene with them in the office, and Jason putting his fingers on the police file while Anna's fingers were there. I mean is Anna trying to save Jason's soul...which has been much better served since he got back up until the last week or so...or are the writers really planning seeds for something else to happen between Jason and Anna? 

 

Hehe...you know I loved my Liason scene and watching Liz and Jason compare notes. I also loved that Liz was the cliffhanger for the 6-9 episode where the Gannon doc realized he knew Lucky. And the cliffhanger for today. Could there finally be some movement coming with the Lucky storyline? And of course, my Beast had to help his gal Carly out with an updated update while flirting. 

 

And time is ticking. The bad guy du jour might have to move his operation AND Lucky. 

 

Everything with Sonny was old home week. And I just hate that Anna has been dumbed down like every police commissioner before her for Sonny. 

 

And I continued to love seeing TJ and Ric bond. And seeing the long-missed view of TJ's bubble. 

I thought maybe they were leading toward a Sonny/Anna pairing for a moment before all the BTS stuff happened.  I just can't imagine a Jason/Anna pairing.  The Robin of it all would make my head explode.

We need Andre Maddox back for Ms. Anna Devane.

Yeah, when Anna was without jobs, her and Sonny had a nice interesting vibe to them at one point. And then it went away.

 

I cannot either on Jason/Anna which is why I'm wondering what these New/Old Writers are trying to do with this Jason/Anna stuff. 

 

lol. I didn't even think of the Robin of it all. Yeah, mind blown.

An amazing turn of phrase, also a picture I'd pay money to see.

Or at least someone that isn't a career criminal and wasn't in a long term, serious relationship with her daughter lol.

I wasn't particularly a fan of the Sonny/anna stuff, but it's more viable than Jason/Anna I guess.

It just don't see Jason hooking up with Robin's mom.  Not that Anna would hook up with Jason.  I just think Jason is super protective about his relationship with Robin.
