-- Awesome Lulu and Rocco scenes. Both actors nailed it. Like others, I was a little confused and disappointed at Dominic Z's choice to play Dante as a little cold. That was weird, especially since DZ is usually so good.

-- Maurice Benard was lost today. The struggle was real, and it's no fun watching him search for his lines.

-- Alexis vs Ric was great television, although I'm team Ric. Alexis has been wrong consistently on everything regarding that baby.

-- Good to see Genie Francis back, but Laura's scenes with Lucky were nothing special.

-- That Quartermaine mansion foyer is bad. As I went into detail last month, they've remodeled it multiple times, and they cannot get it right.

Jonathan Jackson & Alexa Havins Bruening were really good today.

AHB has gotten the core of who LuLu is already

Loved Danny telling Jason & Carly he is now the jealous one of Rocco but that he is happy for him

Jason Morgan is a good dad

Genie Francis & Jeff Kober are always fire together.

New Lulu is definitely a marked improvement over the last one! This Lulu can act and is able to enter into the spirit of the character. Hopefully the writers don't let her and us down..

The worst thing about Lulu's return is that we have to see characters like Valentine and Charlotte again..

Strange how in the flashback between Lulu and Maxie today, which was supposed to take place just before Lulu fell into a coma, new Lulu was a complete brunette!!

Alexa Havins and Jonathan Jackson were outstanding today. Good sibling chemistry already and they matched acting levels very well. I’m glad Lucky got to be the one to tell Lulu the majority of what has happened to her fam while she was in her slumber. I laughed at her reaction to Nikolas being in prison and the shock and devastation at Luke’s death was played perfectly by both AH and JJ.

The writers didn’t shy away from having Lulu address the optics of Sam dying after saving her life which was nice. Her explanation of Dante’s coldness was spot on and his scenes with Maxie were really good too even though the janky wig they plopped on AH’s head for the flashback of Lulu saying she still had feelings for Dante was a jump scare

Maxie  telling James who Lulu was and letting him get more cookies since he wasn’t lying about her being at the house was funny too

Laura finally being done with Cyrus and his nonsense, handing him a restraining order and letting Anna and Dex lock him up was especially pleasing for me enough of letting this creeper roam free. Anna once again begging Jason for help finding Valentin is so cringe worthy though, can the man get a second to grieve with his own child without the 80s OGs calling on him for a caper?

Speaking of, I loved Jason and Carly comforting Danny even though the young actor continues to be very hit or miss. Danny has every right to be bitter Sam is dead and Rocco gets his mom back so I’m glad they gave Danny license to feel a ways and helped him navigate it all.

I loved the Ric and Molly scenes and her telling him she still needs him in her life but not right now after everything that happened with the trial spoke to how level headed she is. I also liked how they played up the depth of her and TJ’s history by having her going through her old diary entries about him.

They need to give it up already with Natalia and Sonny man, legit the only weak spot of the episode. The chemistry isn’t strong and this Natalia salvage attempt is just not gonna happen. Put Sonny with Alexis and call it a day. Otherwise the show has been really solid viewing.

    • I guess it's because the stories on "Hotel" tended to be very...melodramatic, lol?  I mean, it seems like every episode had long-lost lovers reuniting or people finding out someone they knew and/or loved was dying.  And then there was the time Anne Baxter was strung out on dope, lol. Brandon Stoddard must've envied what the other Brandon (Tartikoff) was doing at NBC.
    • Given some of the things that have been said I am going to quote the preface to an analysis I researched & posted about the desired demos when JFP was EP of AW. And, that is more than enough about that, from me.  
    • The thing that I am stuck on is that the in studio scenes in Egypt started airing in mid-October. It seems very strange that they would have planned to have a couple of weeks of studio scenes airing before they started showing location footage. Normally even though some scenes in a remote-infused storyline are in studio, they would start airing a mixture of studio and location footage at the same time. I suspect they had put Arizona in their back pocket well before the Achille Lauro (hence Hawk arriving in September) and possibly moved up the Egypt in-studio action so that the remote Arizona piece unfolded during November. The Achille Lauro may have been the final straw but I would bet it was not the first time they considered the risk. I have found one somewhat contemporaneous reference published on October 19th but pinned to an October 7th* "diary entry" mentioning that the location shoot in Egypt had been changed to Arizona. "International terrorism has its effect on daytime drama, too. Another World producers had scheduled an elaborate and expensive location shoot in Egypt this fall, But with the serious military attacks and hijackings going on, they decided to play it safe. They are going to Arizona instead. The cast members involved were disappointed but understood the decision." *Undated, but specified as the Monday before Melody Thomas's wedding to Ed Scott. But of course it's possible that the first draft referred to Egypt and was revised after October 7th to mention the cancellation before it went to press. But even making the decision the week of October 7th seems tight to get the Egypt scenes to air on the 17th/18th. I would love to find something from a daily news cycle that would be clearer about the dates.
    • So, Maxim, at this moment in time Evan is under the (mistaken) impression that, for no good reason, Rachel murdered his mother, in cold blood, and his ulterior motive for coming to Bay City is to get vengeance for this wrong that was done to his family & him.  Now, Rachel never murdered anyone. Janice had the knife on her & she pulled the knife on Rachel in the fight they were having. The reason they were fighting was because Janice had been poisoning Mac. So, this sets out the difference between the Frame family version of events & reality as the rest of us know it to be. Also no one in Bay City knows Evan is Janice's son. He goes by Evan Bates, not Frame.

                        Janice Frame is Evan's mother. Janice & Mac were together. Janice was up to no good. Mitch was helping her. She was slowly, little by little, every day, POISONING Mac. She was almost successful. In St. Croix, Rachel & Janice began what was literally a physical fight. They fell into the resort swimming pool, continuing to fight each other. Somehow, I guess Janice had it on her, there was a knife in play but Rachel kept Janice from stabbing her & got it away from her & they continued to struggle until Rachel stabbed Janice, which was a death blow. Mitch did a 180 & helped Rachel get Mac to the hospital. He was so weakened by the poison he could not even stand unassisted. It took both of them together to walk him to the hospital but it did save his life.  The St. Croix remote was SO beautiful, but so dangerous & scary. Also action-packed. Hooray! Maxim's backSo, I just got home & this is what I found waiting for me. I wrote this several hours ago. I guess I neglected to hit send.
    • Thanks @skylark and @DRW50!
    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Earlier I made a long reply but it doesn't exist. Crap.
    • I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.
    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
    • Hehe, twi/x actually x, formerly Twitter. Typically I find 2 sources for "crazy fan rumors" - the wrong parts of FB and x. Oy.
