Welcome back, JJ! We’ve missed you. And that was a very nice bro hug that you gave Chad

Please register in order to view this content

Today was a good one. It didn’t feel rushed and we got a really good understanding of what many characters were feeling, especially Xander and Sarah. Their scene today at the Kiriakis mansion is really what the Fiona storyline should have been from the very beginning. 

I was liking Tate and Sophia’s scenes too but I still think that maybe it would’ve been better and led to more story opportunities if Sophia had been the one to expose Fiona, as a way of scoring points with Tate. Same thing can be said for Holly. I don’t mind her being in Paris right now and I enjoyed her scene with Chad, but I think she should have stayed in Salem for a little while longer and continued to plot against Brady. Holly projecting her anger about Eric onto Brady was one of the best dynamics of this storyline. 

And I know that Tate/Holly are supposed to be the main couple, but I’m still liking Tate/Sophia lol

And even though, I’m not liking the storyline or how it came to be, I am a little interested in seeing what’s gonna happen now that Chad is married to NotAbigail.

One quibble from today:  this is not Lost, so there's no need for a “not Penny's boat” moment.  Unless Kayla's text plan charges by the word, she could've written, “reran the DNA, confirmed that is not Abby”, and sent a pic of the results.  Brevity is as unnecessary as the number of trans-Atlantic phone calls between the Greene siblings.  I swear at this point F-Abby has spoken to Mark more than Chad!

Also, text messages still go in the deleted file on the iPhone, and how will she explain Chad's phone password is the one thing that she recalls?

On a positive, Fiona finally got the monologue she deserved.

I totally agree that Sophia is a better partner for Tate, although there is no conflict in the relationship, and we all know that cannot sustain on a soap.

I don't get why Xander can't tell EJ about Rolf.  Surely he would be empathic to the man who brought him back from the dead?

Today was excellent. Tate is now really working for me, but I much prefer him with Sophia. I feel like Holly needs an older bad boy to temper her annoying personality a bit. I have really liked the teens inclusion in the hit and run story.

Brady and Fiona were so good today. Serena Scott Thomas sure got stuck with a loathsome character. Her body language today was spot on. She was alternating between self pity and self loathing. I am glad they gave these characters some time to talk out what went down.

Loved Holly calling out Fabby on her most recent lie. Of course Chad will still buy whatever excuse she comes up with. I assume the marriage is not legal because she married under a false name and identity.

Paul Telfer was MVP today. His face, his acting. He showed so much sorrow today, and how awful for her to have to face that he was right all along about his vile mother. And that the person he loves above all others was her latest victim in a lifetime of selfish behaviour. Say what you like about Xander's past, but he again acknowledged today that he is a creation of Fiona, and has been as awful as her. I can't believe they still had to talk EJ into letting Brady go.

That sounds good too. 

I wish they had kept Tate messier though, especially now, after everything he just went through with his parents.

Him being messy all on his own could be another reason why Sophia’s parents reject him.

The cliffhanger was ok, but it wasn’t what I was expecting. Today was such a short episode that I think they could have dragged out the Chad/Mark/NotAbigail scenes a lot longer and given us the cliffhanger that we were all expecting. 

I’m glad Days remembered the Tate/Aaron friendship today though. As subpar as the actor is, I still like the character of Aaron, and how sweet and nerdy he is. But I also wouldn’t have a problem with him turning out to have lied to Tate and start trying to cause problems for him and Sophia.

Btw, is Ava gonna be Sophia’s new confidant now? I don’t mind it. If Sophia’s gonna be sticking around, I like that they’re trying to let her interact with other characters, outside of the teen group.

    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
