Happy Birthday Johnny! Too bad you had to endure a Jamey episode today. And had to spend so much time with Leo.

Johnny does have good taste in cakes though

Today was a perfect example of what I mean when I mentioned how lousy Jamey episodes are. Do they really expect fans to believe that even Seth Burns didn’t see that Alex was screwing a white girl? Or that he doesn’t know who’s playing Faith?

That’s just bad, lazy writing. 

And, since when does the hospital have a PA system? 

The fact that we don’t know if Johnny and Joy slept together is kind of interesting though. I do like the mystery of it. And today’s ending wasn’t bad either. But damn, the buildup these last few weeks was horrendous.

Today's episode was okay.  I really just don't understand the whole Chanel/Johnny thing.  It's something that can so easily be explained and it went from 0 to 100 in one scene.  Stupid.  I think Johnny did sleep with Joy.  That's the only way any drama is pulled from this.  The actress that plays Joy reminds me a bit of Amber Tamblyn.  She looks like her.

I am also not gonna lie.  Seth Burns is my new favorite character.  He cracks me up.  So dumb, but so stoic and deadpan in his delivery.  

Weird Marlena was called away before Johnny's birthday celebration.  Did Deidre have something else to do that day lol?

Hmmm… two different location shots of the hospital now?

The hospital scenes were good. I liked the confrontation between Johnny and Chanel. How this all came together was the biggest mistake in this storyline.

But once again, Leo was unnecessary. I miss the days when characters with no purpose got cut.

The character of Joy seems to be ok so far. She doesn’t seem to be playing this all like a big joke and I appreciate that. But yeah, the writing for Nancy is making me cringe a little. Unfortunately, I expected that. Too bad Chloe’s not in Salem anymore. Her part in Joy’s storyline could add another dynamic to it. 

As for Abe/JR, I almost want to apologize to him myself.

Interesting episode.  Some scenes were quite good like Joy/Nancy and Chanel/Johnny, but there was not a single reason to have Leo on the show today.  Bonnie/Leo spent, what, 3 scenes talking about how good Chanel's cake was?  Ugh.

I've liked what I have seen from the actress that plays Joy.  We will see where this story goes.

Since Seth Burns is my new MVP I had to laugh when Stephanie said they had met before in a one on one PR zoom meeting about the show and he said he still thought she was an actress anyway lol.  What?

The best part of the last three episodes has been the return of JJ. 

Carson Boatman sucks. He desperately needs acting lessons(coach).

Looks like Casey is on contract. He's excited about his new storyline with the new writers.

I just hope JJ doesn't become a cop again.

Much like the earlier iteration of Holly, I'd like him to go back to being messy and a bit of a "F"-up.

I've been bored by reformed Tate, Johnny, Xander, and Tripp.  We need an anti-hero who isn't evil, but is a little duplicitous.  Sort of like a younger version of Jack.  I also think that after seeing the actor in interviews, JJ could be funnier and more charming as a not-so-serious dude.  And I think that the portmanteaus for JJ and Joy could be fun.

We've been eager for Johnny to find a friend, and JJ could be a good ally.

This is good news. I’ve always enjoyed Casey Moss and JJ. I thought Johnny would be a little messier like early JJ but he’s so blah. It’s actually amazing with who Johnny’s parents and grandparents are, that he’s so Blah. But I think it might be Carson as well.

The one thing l’ll give this Body&Soul mess is that, as awful as it is, it’s not gross and cruel like the Craig/Nancy storyline or the Dimitri storyline. 

It just needed to be written a lot better. 

That would be nice lol if he had a friend, maybe he wouldn’t have to jumped the wrong conclusions about Chanel so quickly.

But a JJ/Joy/Johnny/Chanel/Alex/Stephanie mess could be nice as well.

This is not absolving Ron and the horrible writing he gave Nancy, but I always thought the writing for Nancy in general throughout the years has been erratic at best.   It seems like every writer has a different take on her.  She teeters the line of villain and heroine and it definitely changes every time she reappears.  Ron made her look dumb in the Craig/Nancy/Leo story and that was horrible.  I just still don't have a clear take on who Nancy is at her core to this day.

Btw the Not Abigail reveal was a dull mess. 

Billy Flynn totally tanked his scenes. 

Annalynne tried her hardest but the story stunk. She couldn't save it either.

      I wonder what Dana and Hayley's first scene will be like. Dana has fear/contempt for Bill, but I can imagine Hayley being curious to meet her.

      Daphne was just FANTASTIC today. I know people wanted histronics and it may still come but she was pitch perfect today. As much as I like Maurice she's gonna need someone just as strong now and it's just not him

      Today's episode was one of my favorites so far! TT's Anita standing up to Dana was perfect. I was surprised with how restrained Dani was, in some scenes, I forgot she was there. The ending "Amazing Grace" montage was brilliant. I like how Vernon's reason complements Anita's emotion. DD was terrific portraying her mixed sense of betrayal and humiliation. I liked her comment about how she condescended to Dani after her breakup with Bill, unaware that she was also married to a cheater. I am going to miss MJ as Ted and I don't agree with the criticisms of his acting. His conduct on social media is a different story. I agree that BC's Martin has come into his own. He and MM have also discovered some chemistry which allows them portray a believable couple. Eva is the most empathetic character for me. Seeing get locked out of the apartment was heartbreaking. I also liked that the writing for Kat has been much more nuanced than one might have expected just weeks ago. I liked the expression on Kat's face at the end when she was embracing Nicole. Kat has probably never seen her calm, poised mother so upset. CM's face portrayed a sense of discomfort now that the carer/child roles have been somewhat reversed. I believe now more than ever that Kat is Ted and Dana's child. Eva is Ted and Nicole's child. Dana switched them as insurance - if Bill came after her to take or harm Eva, Dana would reveal that Eva was actually a Dupree, giving her some protection. She would also be secure in the fact that her birth daughter Kat was ensconced in the privilege and security of the Dupree family. The way Dana raised Eva - "weaponizing" her instead of nurturing her as a loving mother - also aligns with this theory.

      @Paul Raven - thanks for reviewing the content for accuracy.  You know, the nice thing about AI is that you can teach it things, so I am having it review the classic AMC Tumblr to increase its accuracy.

      If you begin where they suggested (#6077), it's VERY easy to follow because it's right at the beginning of a new storyline.   Another story is winding down, but it's fairly easy to catch on. The central characters in both stories (the one that's ending & the one that's beginning) are members of the Madison family.  The Madisons have recently moved from Hollywood to Monticello.  The father (Owen Madison) is an ex-movie producer.  The mother (Nola Patterson Madison) is a washed-up, alcoholic actress who can no longer get a part in a film.  Owen has a daughter named Paige Madison, and Nola has a son named Brian Madison.  The Madison family left Hollywood primarily because the daughter (Paige) had gotten involved with a group of "renegade" young political activists who stole some guns to furnish to South American revolutionaries.  Paige Madison is being targeted for assassination by various members of the group (known as "the Tobias gang").  As a result, Paige has a full-time body guard, a former Monticello policeman who resigned from the police force because he accidentally shot & killed a 14-year-old boy who was armed with a cap pistol.  As the new plot (a movie called "Mansion of the Damned") takes shape,  the existing plot about Paige, the assassins, and the bodyguard comes to a conclusion.  The other characters on the show are all playing supporting roles to these storylines, and it'll be easy to figure out who they are and how they come into play.

      Anita said to Leslie what I was always going to wonder. Where can a woman like her go from here? Given the circumstances and all.
