I wish Night Shift Season 2 had made Brenda Stone's Mom. That could drive story for a long time.

Well...coming into September proper...

 

That was an entertaining mess. The Search for Lucky and WaggervSonny were solid A stories. So it jarring as heck to have Drew/Willow fighting with those two stories for frontburner. And dare I say it...I really didn't care. lol. Oh, how the mighty (in my eyes) have fallen.

 

Any story that has Laura front and center is fine by me. That said...I was expecting her to send Jason honestly to go get Lucky. I guess because he is kinda just there in the wind. lol. But I'm down for her and Kevin have another mini-adventure to go find him. And it's Laura's son so I'm already invested. I am starting to wonder about Lucky's fine doctor friend though. Is it wrong that I am wondering if he's connected to anyone in town? Rhetoric of course. 

 

So...they really threw Wagger all the way under the Sonny bus, huh? Cuz lorrrrrd...smh. I liked that the New/Old Writers finally picked a lane and stuck with it. But we have already seen this allllll before. That said...the actor rose to the occasion. And I will always LOVE Mama Bear Alexis. The only thing that bugged me was that Ava was back being in that really annoying meh mode when she was scheming like a chess player months ago. And is it wrong that I totally forgot Dante and Sonny fell out? 

 

And speaking of questions...is it also wrong that I keep feeling like Val or Finn are going to pop up on my screen like a jump scare?

 

Meanwhile...so I guess the New/Old Writers are totally over this politician storyline if they killed off the guy. I mean there could have been more organic ways for Drew/Willow to kiss. So I guess another plot thread done by PM to the wayside. The hatred is real. 

 

Yeeeeeeah, I see me being over Kristina. I wish I could say that it was out of character, but if I was to be fair...this would be something that I feel Lexi's Kristina would do, too, and lord knows I used to want to shake her bitd so it tracks for me. And at this point, I want her to say her baby name one more time around Molly so Molly can really go in again. Perhaps we are heading to a crazy Kristina outcome. I know she SHOULDN'T be running around with a gun. 

 

I feel they are doing a good job of weaving Brennan into the tapestry of this new regime. His banter with Carly. Getting close to Jason and Laura. Still annoyed at the slapstick they are trying with him and Anna (but I am disliking how she's written under these New/Old Writers), but he does fill out that suit. And good to know he still has a bubble thank you cameramen.  

I was very happy the Heather storyline has been reduced to a C story. And how inspired to have Ric be her lawyer to keep him in town. But poor Portia reduced to this part of the canvas. And where is Scotty? And with all the recurring characters back, is Dr. O coming back? 

 

So I take that since the New/Old Writers are bringing up Dante/BLQ again that this will be our pivot away from Sam. Or the start of it? 

 

These rain scenes are very well-done.

Just a mess. Entertaining, but a mess. 

Well, that one way to get her on the show.  

About the rain ... Adam posted that no one else 

had to lay on their backs with rain pouring up their nose. I laughed.

Sorry.  I knew that would get your attention!   Knowing this show, they'd probably dig up Cari Shayne to play Jagger's baby momma. 

Don't do that to me, or I'm coming for your girl.

My point was I don't want to add more characters or hear anymore about Jagger or his son after this story is over lol.  

Lord, we can only hope! Haha.

That would have been slightly better than giving Brenda a kid with Balkan son we never met, but I wouldn't have given Brenda a kid at all.  It should have been Jax's if it had to exist.

Gina Tognoni is reserved (in my mind) for Skye Chandler Quartermaine, and Skye Chandler Quartermaine ONLY!

Hehe. Understood.

Perhaps as part of an exit storyline for Sonny?

I saw that. I also giggled at his humor on his way out the door. 

The bringing back Jagger just to annihilate the character and then kill him off reminds me way too much of the Ron C playbook with old characters. I’m assuming it’s a bad habit he and FV developed working together.

Well, the changing of writing regimes really did not help.

If it was always short term they should have held their nose and cast SabtoJR. Then they could have used flashbacks.

Sure, with him going on Ingo's IG account, days before & saying, "The first thing is you fire Frank!"

Is this an assessment of the ratings or the show quality?

9-3

 

I mean I can't hate on Liz too much. Ric Hearst is aging like fine wine and that silver fox could totally get it. I didn't make it through the last Liz/Ric arc since I was over RC crashing and burning, but one thing that RH can play...is the love he has for Liz. Makes a guy swoon. lol. And then it's only a matter of time before Lucky make it to the town. And then Jason is floating out there in the wind so WAIT...3...I mean THREE guys single and circling Liz. YES, PLEASE. 

 

Speaking of Jason...intrigued by his scenes with Ava. And if that will turn into something. Though Ava (no fault on MW) is still being written waaaaay too whiny. I was like I know she's not trying to lecture some hitwoman when she shot Connie in cold blood. GIRL, BYE. lol. 

 

Just another day at the Q Mansion. So thank God for Tracy reading everybody. That said...NO to Sonny, Carly, and the marriage alibi. Been there, done that, bought and lost that mansion, don't want it back. I did find it juicy that Willow and Michael have secrets from each other.

 

Uh oh...not Alexis thinking Kristina killed Wagger.
