Am I nuts that my biggest gripe with today's episode was Eric saying he'll take the pictures for free? 

Body&Soul is a big production, they could pay him.  And Kate and Abe don't owe him anything, nor is he related to them.  Is it a visa thing where he can't be employed in Salem while he's a residence of France? Why does this guy refuse to make money?  Nicole's going to grow tired of that really quickly.

 

I could see Eric doing it for free.  Abe is his father's best friend.  Marlena is friends with Kate.  He's related to both Johnny and Stephanie who are heavily involved.  It seem like one night's work-not a huge deal.  Also, Nicole is very close to Abe and would probably encourage him to help. 

The rest of the show was nonsense though.  I really have no other comment.  Everything for Alex/Chanel to Bonnie vs. Hattie is just stupid.  

With body and soul stuff I feel the only reason Ron wanted this was to cause problems in johnny and chanel marriage and it is obvious being setup for one of them to cheat I think it will be johnny instead of chanel who cheats

Information regarding this year's Day of DAYS.

This Body & Soul stuff is WRETCHED.

It’s also very interesting that after all these years, Ron put his two favorites into a lousy C-story that’s (thankfully) not seen that much.

Of course, he would do it for free.  The question is should he do it for free? Given that he's a got a baby to support in Paris. 🤔

I am also amused that Eric was running around desperately searching for Holly at school, but now that it is clearly evening, he's no longer looking for her.  And, Johnny's worried about Chanel in love scenes with Alex, but Justin is cool with it when it comes to Bonnie.

On OLTL Fraternity Row worked in 1988-92 because it didnt make soaps a joke

Not shocked Ron makes Body and Soul a spoof cause thats how he reintroduced Fraternity Row in 2011 on OLTL

From my understanding Eric has a decent job in Paris.  But, yes, Eric would pretty much do everything for free lol.  Nicole could also get a job to help, just saying...  I think he gave up on Holly for the day because pretty much everyone told him to back off for a bit.

Well, Justin is a mature adult so he can handle the acting part of the love scenes.  He should be more worried about his wife's silly antics with Hattie.   Johnny's an overgrown teen with his first job at about 28.  It's also a bit more concerning because Chanel has actually slept with Alex.

Do you think we are meant to believe there are other actors on the show?  Or is just Chanel, Alex, Bonnie, and Hattie? And Alex is the only male cast member (some would say that is the writer's dream cast).😘  Have they forgotten about the dude that played Abe's son?

I certainly have lol.  But, yeah, Abe could maybe call him up.  Maybe he got another soap gig in LA.

Which means that at some point, we’re probably gonna be getting a full episode of Body&Soul because Ron can’t help himself 🤮🤮

And because we’re stuck with Jamey Giddens, it’ll probably make the Fraternity Row episode of OLTL look like Shakespeare. 

Like every episode that comes after a Jamey episode, today was an improvement. And Tate looked hot in his first scene 😍😂😂

I like the way everything with Tate/Holly is coming together. Holly being so determined to see Brady go down for Sarah’s accident stems from her anger about Eric killing Daniel and I like that. It seems so natural. Her teaming up with EJ could actually be really good as well. And I also like how Sophia’s manipulating the situation. That’s exactly what I would have done, if I was writing it. But I agree we still need to know more about Sophia, that way her actions make more sense. Tate finding out about Holly joining forces with EJ would be the perfect catalyst for him to turn to Sophia. Hopefully, Holly has a good excuse tomorrow and it’s not immediately exposed. 

Mean Sarah was back today lol but her being mean made a lot of sense considering what she’s going through. I like the conflict that brewing between her and Xander as a result of this. Too bad that Sarah might be figuring it out already. This is another storyline that should be played out a little more. Maybe if Alex was still involved in this storyline, he could be the one to reveal everything. But whatevs lol 

Eric vs EJ was good too, though I’m not sure why Eric didn’t just slam EJ’s head into the table lol hopefully we’ll get a good brawl between the two of them soon.

I wonder what this could mean?🤔😂😉😇😊😁

1. I really liked Eric's bag, and if anyone knows who makes it, drop a link.
2. I like spunky Sarah, but I wish her mission was more rational.  I don't know why she is ready to forgive Brady.  I would prefer if her issue with Xander was that she wanted to be a part of his plans, as an equal, rather than him keeping secrets.  The idea of the central conflict in this relationship is Xander learning to trust Sarah is intriguing, but unexplored.
3. It's kind of funny that they hardly ever show Sarah moving around in her chair.  She just shows up places, or someone pushes her into a scene. She never moves on her own.  And, why doesn't she have a motorized chair?  They can afford it.
   1. The fact they aren't making any plans for how Sarah will live in the future only confirms how temporary this situation seems to be. 

Shouldn't Eric be going back to Paris by now?

I swear that Ron just wanted to give GV another paycheck or two.
