Question: Why hasn't Sarah gone back to work?

It's not like she needs to give up her career due to paralysis.  And with Mark in jail, Kayla is the only practicing doctor left in Salem.

JJ, FTW! 💪

Him ripping Cat to shreds was definitely a long time coming. Casey Moss really got a chance to flex his acting muscles in these last two episodes and it’s good to see him do that. He’s fit back onto the canvas so well. Maybe he’ll end up being the one to kill Clyde lol him, Aaron, anybody.

Speaking of Aaron, I liked his scene with Holly today and how she comforted him over everything that happened with Cat and Mark. And I like that Aaron confessed to Holly that he told Tate to pursue Sophia. The two actors worked really well together. I don’t see Holly and Aaron as a couple but I could see a really good friendship develop between the two of them. 

And yeah, Tate looked hot 😍😂😂

Him and Sophia actually do make a nice couple but I also like the mess that they’re in lol I actually laughed a little at Tate’s mistake at the end of today. It could actually help build more sympathy for Sophia and I wouldn’t mind that at all. I’m looking forward to seeing where things go from here for the two of them and Holly. Just don’t turn Sophia into Jan. 

And yeah, Rafe’s a dick but I’m liking this storyline. It’s a very realistic conflict and it somewhat plays into Rafe’s character and Jada’s too. Plus, as a couple, they were really boring lol so this is finally something good for them to do. It could go in so many different directions but hopefully, Rafe’s decision at the end of today is not one of them.

Having Gabi and Paulina continue to be a part of it could be really interesting as well.

Aww. I felt bad for Sophia today.  I was really puzzled by her outfit though.  Her denim skirt didn't cover her behind so it looked like she had a white shirt tucked into the skirt and that's what was covering her parts with a cropped glittery heart cardigan on top of that lol.

So I don't mind this Rafe/Jada story.  It's mildly interesting.  But Roman is right.  What Paulina is doing to Rafe is illegal.  I thought that the minute she said she was demoting him.  Does Paulina have advisors at all?  She makes all these decisions that just truly don't follow the basics of HR.  Even if we all know Jada is better than Rafe that's just not how a civil servant job works.

Casey Moss is really giving his all the first few days.  I don't have much hope it will last, but he's always been a solid actor.  It's his character that's mostly boring.

I feel like under the "writer" he's been tossed around, with a prayer he'll "stick" to something... hopefully the new regime have fixed that.

Wasn't Moss around pre-Ron and wasted too?  I feel like Ron's was writing for so long I can't remember.

He was, but it felt like JJ had some kind of general purpose.

There was only one natural reaction today, and that was between JJ and Cat.  Although I think Chad is going through a lot to retrieve a dead body that he didn't even know was missing until a few weeks ago, JJ's anger feels justified.

On the other hand, why is Holly being so gracious to Aaron?  She thought nothing of toying with his emotions during prom.  But, now when his brother tried to shoot Chad during his wedding, she's totally cool with it.  Holly's an emotionally reactive teen.  One assumes that her experience with Cat would cause her to be less forgiving.

And the Jada and Gabi thing makes no sense.  It feels like the first time that they've ever been alone.  Gabi is blindly loyal to Rafe.  So, it seems like she would plant seeds of doubt in Jada, not teach her how to make tamales!

Everyone's being a little too nice today.

-- Tate looks good in clothes, but shirtless? Just dayum. That boy is amazing.

-- Don't know why, but I'm really disliking Holly.

--Casey Moss has been great this week.

--Also great? Cherie Jiminez as Gabi. She's better in the role than Camila Banus.

Jada and Gabi had scenes alone together when Rafe was in a coma

I don’t think he was under TomSell, despite the Daniel propping. JJ finding out about Jack raping Kayla was great.

But he did a little under Higley, even though I remember liking him and Gabi. 

BTW good callback to Jada's sister today (I doubt later regimes will remember her).

Also, it would be a nice slap in the face for Rafe if Jada finally brings Clyde to justice, but I assume she'll need his rescue.

And, I am still hoping JJ doesn't become a cop again.  Maybe he could write the musical score for B&S?

Yeah, you and @Liberty City are correct JJ did have some interesting stories and Moss did good work.  I just keep remembering the show losing interest over several writing teams.  It's strange because it seems like JJ would be a character that would have a lot of possibilities. 

I can't really remember liking him and Gabi, but I do remember liking the Theresa/Eve/JJ/Paige mess.  Unfortunately, Paige was a huge dud.  

So were some of his other pairings like Hayley.

That was a major mess, but a fun one! So fun!

Ugh, you had to remind me of that character?

I think that's why I get Tripp/JJ confused sometimes because they were both involved with Hayley, but one married her and one didn't and she just died off screen in the time jump.  Even though Kristen pushing her and killing her was the most exciting thing Hayley ever did lol
