Steve Burton looked beyond disinterested in mouthing those lines about coming to better appreciate Edward and the Quartermaines in those scenes with Ned and Tracy the other day. In fact he looked kind of pissed. It's odd, since he did give emotion to the scenes surrounding Alan's death years ago and has allowed Jason to be a little closer to Monica and the Qs at the very least ever since his return in the late 2010s, to try to mirror Billy Miller's Drew who embodied a 'Jason' who was much more closely tied to them. Seems almost like Steve is annoyed with the 'Jason moves in with the Qs' plotline and is phoning it in, and that's saying something given his low standards.

I’m sold on nuEmma after today. Her dancing around telling Anna she got expelled from Berkley was fun and I liked the snark once she got exposed. The scenes reuniting with Josslyn and rubbing in her face that she introduced Cam to his new girl were the exact dynamic I wanted for Carly and Robin’s daughters

Lulu’s reunion with Charlotte was sweet. Alexa Havins plays the moments with her onscreen kids really well. Of course Valentine was lurking at the end I’m actually excited to see him and Lulu go at it next episode

Trina is too nice to Ava lol don’t give me a painting give me my bonus ma’am I liked their scenes though and I loved her swooping in to save Kai from the overzealous fan. Glad they pivoted to less head chewing and more fun with those two

Martin telling Laura and Alexis that Ace is getting the Cassadine fortune and Alexis will be the trustee felt like scenes that should have aired a few weeks back, same with Michael and Diane finally meeting. I did laugh at Diane’s reaction to Willow cheating with Drew and Alexis’s joy at finding out she gets to take Wyndemere and funds from Ava though.

I’m back to wishing Sasha really was leaving because I’m not looking forward to where this baby plot is clearly headed  

On SB’s recent pods he keeps saying he’s happy he finally gets to work with Jane Elliott and do the big Q family scenes again. I don’t think he’s doing any tanking for real, those scenes didn’t really call for a lot of emotion from Jason. He did briefly mention wanting the penthouse set back though

I wonder if it's his awareness of just how little he matters to the current show, compared to the hype over his coming back and the heyday of his badass shootouts and motorcycle rides. 

Being one of a million in the Q mansion must be deflating to him, especially since his big years were where Guza and others made sure everyone knew the Quartermaines were poisonous and pathetic. 

Anna and Valentin seem to have a lot of Twitter fans, for whatever reason.

He is still capable of doing the work when he cares, as his scene at Sam's deathbed showed among others. And I believe him when he says he enjoys doing the scenes with Jane, etc. But for whatever reason I just felt he gave nothing to the scenes with Ned and Tracy, even less than Jason's usual these days or in recent years with the Qs (or when he first came back under Mulcahey, and BLQ? showed him the note from Monica at the PCPD). His tone and responses here were just 'yeah, whatever.'

Yeah, I know they have a following.  I just never thought it was that "real".  It seems to have really tarnished Anna, IMO.

Steve did some decent work on Days too.  I just think like you sometimes he 'cares' and sometimes he just coasts.  I imagine he's not happy with Jason's return in general.  Hell, he was getting more interesting material on Days as Harris even with everything wrong with that show.

It's always hard for me to know what's real or not with fan followings online. With Sonny and Nina, I get the feeling many of them are Nina fans, all of Liz's pairings are mostly just Liz fans, etc. I would say Anna and Valentin are more mutual, even if I don't know why Anna fans would want the pairing at this point.

I think there are certain sector of Sonny fans who will follow any pairing with a woman that props him up.  I remember the entire faction turning on Carly, then Alexis, then Brenda, then Kate and so on once they decided to speak up or dump him.  Very loyal fanbase lol.

I assume Valentin has a similar small (but vocal) fanbase as well.  I don't think any true Anna fan would consider that romance much more than a blip on the radar for the character.

Just spitballing, but it could be fun if Brennan seduced Joss/have an affair with her to make Carly's head explode. I'm thinking it'd be reminiscent of Dorian/Cassie and the character John Martin played on OLTL. Those classic confrontation scenes where Dorian goes on about him being a coward randomly popped into my mind so here we are. Emma could find out about the affair first and use to against Joss somehow, or just to mess with her. Could be fun. And ultimately, lead to the the exits of Brennan and Joss.

    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them. 
    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous.
