I'm trying to catch up. I've seen last Thursday, Friday and Monday's episodes. I've got say how impressed I was with in particular Friday and Monday's episodes. Thursday's episode wasn't bad either. Did Ron leave already?😂

Haha

He’s very lucky that he had some very talented people (not Jamey) working underneath him.

I think it's shocking that Stayla are not grandparents yet. 

The funny thing is, I looked it up, Stephanie was SORASed to her current age, 18 years ago. 

Shayna Rose played her in 2006, and Shelly Hennig in 2007. 

So, she is one of those characters that aged once, and then stayed the same for two decades. She's either far too youthful to have a kid, or she's premenopausal. Who can tell? 😄

Yeah it's weird.  None of their kids have been on the canvas consecutively long enough to amass the large amount of offspring and grandkids John/Marlena have.  Even Bo/Hope and Jack/Jen have grandkids though.  

I also think the fact Patch/Kayla were gone so long off the show it stunted their importance.  If MBE and SN stayed in the 90's S/K probably would have had more kids earlier and Stephanie would have been aged sooner.   Belle and Brady are both younger than Stephanie by actual birth year on the show. 

I don't want to be a downer because I don't hate Kayla/Steve, but none of the stories they've had since their return in the 2000's have been very good or memorable.  I think the couple sort of missed their window of importance.  I am not advocating for them to leave or anything, but they feel very second tier to me compared to Bo/Hope or John/Marlena.

Under Ron Stephanie's character was isolated to Chad and Alex she had more scenes with them than Stayla on screen.

I mean, that's natural.  Stephanie is an adult woman.  I spend more time with my significant other than my parents.  Stephanie even moved in with Stayla on and off.  I never considered her isolated-just in a stupid story.  Agree to disagree.  The lack of Johnson family scenes had no affect on the stupid Chad/Stephanie/Alex story.  Stephanie could probably use a few more friends more than she needs to sit at the Pub and talk to Kayla about her love life for the 100th time.

I’m up to Wednesday and I have to say thank god it feels like the walls are starting to close in on Connie. Of course Rafe’s unnecessary ass wakes up right as Jaida is about to open the door to the room Melinda was in 🙄

It’s hilarious to see Stefan so mad about a brother sleeping with his wife when what he did to Abby was far worse.

The lack of body and soul has been wonderful.

Fiona wears me out constantly admitting her damn crimes out loud. 

It feels like the only research Fake Abby did was her name.

I don't think she was even aged much. She was born in 1990 and came back in 2006 as a late teen/young adult -- I think she was supposed to be, like, a 17-year-old race car driver and then she went to college at Salem U in 2007-08. She's basically the exact right age she should be now, but we just missed so much of her life and they kind of kept her in stasis between 2011-2022 other than establishing that she lived in Seattle and then adding Everett to her backstory. But she kind of nets out age-wise. Same with Abigail, actually.

So, she’d be in her mid 30s, which makes sense.  And it serves as a good reminder that you’re never too old to bop around alone in your apartment. 💃

I'm not at all sure that is something we need to be reminded of ... but I could be wrong. 

Sophia, you little schemer.

I would’ve written her scenes today the same way. Holly and Tate are both vulnerable right now and that would be the perfect time for her to manipulate the situation. And I’m here for it. This is the way she should be written. A schemer and villain and not an obsessed psychopath. I still think we need to know more about her though. And maybe Tate should have been written as a little stupider and messier, that way Sophia’s manipulation was more understandable but I’m looking forward to see where this is going to go. 

I enjoyed the Holly/EJ scene too. Idk if EJ was lying to Holly about Nicole wanting to keep the truth about Eric from her, but I wouldn’t mind it if he was. EJ works better as an actual villain, like he was today if it turns out that he was lying, and not some bumbling fool who’s just trying to upstage Stefan. Holly feeling like Nicole always put Eric ahead of her could also be really interesting as well. Btw, does Holly know that Brady has her father’s heart? 

Xander and Fiona did really well today, and it’s a little sad that this storyline was rushed. We should’ve have seen a lot more of the history between the two of then, and them rebuilding their relationship before we got Sarah’s accident. But I’m still enjoying this storyline. 

As for Kristen, maybe it’s time to send her packing.

It's likely what I'd be doing if I lived alone. Haha.

I just see Sophia as Ron's answer to OLTL's Stacey Morasco. Difference is Sophia is undefined and seems like a day player.

Lol. I have music playing while I am cleaning and have been known to bust out a dance move or two as well.
