After the past few years of lackluster Thanksgivings (that repugnant fantasy episode involving Phyllis and Gloria on Thanksgiving back in 2021 still haunts me!) it’s actually nice we got an actual family and character driven Thanksgiving episode this year.

Highlights for were the Nate, Amy, and Audra scenes as I found their scenes very poignant and sweet. 

Abbott family thanksgiving was a hoot with Ashley and Traci tearing into Jack and Diane, the underlying tension, and heck Summer giving Kyle & Claire the look. 

Enjoyed the Newmans too. @Liberty City

@Taoboi You both aren’t kidding, Peck is looking like a hot daddy

Also agree with the sentiments that MTS is looking regal again, her current hairstyle is also a nice throwback back to her 1998-2001 Alden era hair that I loved so much.

I haven't started the week yet so that's good to hear. I can always count on the Abbott Thanksgiving because Ashley is back and will give good bitca to Diane. So good. lol. And ugh at Summer. Those two are so one step forward, multiple steps back.

 

He really is. I can't hate. Re: Mr. Peck.

 

Like KS over on GH, MTS has started to dress marvelously again and I love to see it. 

 

Not wax!!!! lol. 

 

I didn't cotton to Michael's white hair at first, but now I'm used to it. Now his loss of beard on the other hand...grrrr.

To clarify I don’t think it was a look of jealousy, it was more of a repulsive look like “Eww why is she kissing Kyle that’s gross” look. LOL if that makes sense. 
 

I will say except for Billy (isn’t that always the case lol) it’s been a decent short week.

Valerie Pettiford is doing an amazing job! She's infused so much heart and character into what really amounts to a bit part. So much so I find this C-story more compelling than the A & B.

I'm truly sad they saddled her character with a terminal illness. I wish Amy was sticking around permanently, or they had crafted a new role for her. Seeing her interacting with Nate gave me shades of Olivia and Drucilla

I was hoping to see people discussing Billy. He wasn't very nice to Jill eh?

 

"Playing that sick card again." 

 

Agreed about Audra, Nate and, Amy. The start of a birthday cake tradition would be nice. Maybe like the Qs and pizza.

 

Idk how I feel about another round of Philly. Billy and her going after Victor might be fun.

 

Victor gutting glissade is fine and I want to know what Jack's next plan is.

The Abbott dining room-when was the last time that was seen?

And yes, the ugly flowers at both the Abbotts and Newmans were distracting.

Cole is looking way better-that weird beardline he had at first has gone.

Don't mind CLB with the grey, but I am never a fan of the bouffant aspect.

Can't say I'm noticing a dramatic improvement in women's clothing as yet.

Why is Alan still  around? Just arm candy for Traci?

Nate fill out the pink top very nicely...

    • Hey boys, I know these aren’t really thirst traps but I think they belong here. Don’t ya agree?

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
