Damn… Tate was pathetic lol

He couldn’t even bring himself to say the words to Holly. And was still more concerned with his relationship with her than the abortion. I wonder who’s gonna win if we end up getting Tate vs. Doug III. Honestly, I didn’t dislike the way Tate was written, but that was not a good look for him. Not at all. Sophia definitely had bigger balls today

Speaking of Sophia, I’m glad that they finally cast her mother, even though Amy seems a little cliche and sounds like she stepped out of the 1970s. I think it’ll help us see why Sophia is the way that she is and if it leads to Sophia getting more depth and more layers, I’m all for it. 

I really liked the Shawn/Belle scenes though. It was one of the best parts of today. I like the situation that they’re in and I hope they play the long game with the two of them, especially now that they’re going to be working together. Belle as DA could be really interesting too. 

EJ vs. Paulina would be a lot better if that was the thing that was used to cause conflict for Johnny and Chanel.

As for Rafe and Fake Rafe… Skip.

It was the cruelty of it that I hated more than anything. 

Ron let his worst qualities as a human being write that story for him. Then, you add in Jamey Giddens, who just makes everything ten times worse and that was the mess we got. 

Hopefully that, along with Body&Soul, contributed to his firing.

I understand completely about how cruel Leo & Dimitri were to Gwen. They were awful to her. I agree about Ron's worst qualities. And, I am no fan of Jamey's. Plus, this storyline added in with B&S & you have one giant mess. So in summary I am not at all surprised that they fired him.

I honestly am not minding the Arnold story so far. I mean, Rafe has already seen him so this story is going at warp speed anyway. Bring on the reveal we saw in the DoD promo, and Dan F (not spelling all that) is good at being a bastard so I'm being entertained. 

I've never been a fan of Shawn and Belle as a couple because of how utterly forced and oversold it always was, but the way their being written now, as actual adults with faults and regrets really helps bring the show down to earth from all the craziness.

The last episode of the year! Too bad it was a little… ehhh.

I see Amy was channeling her inner Tom Horton today. I almost expected her to say that Tate and Sophia needed to get married in order to avoid a scandal, and to give the baby a name.

Idk about this part of the storyline though. I don’t dislike it, but it just seems so dated and unnecessary. There are so many other ways they could have caused conflict with the younger crowd until the inevitable pregnancy happened. Not only would have been better than this but also would have seemed more current. 

Maybe I’m wrong but I think all Tate needed to do was to tell Amy to go f*ck herself, and then take Sophia to get the abortion anyway.

And I think it’s also time for Tate to meet Doug III, who seemed to shine with Holly again today. They have nice chemistry. But I would’ve liked to have seen him and Tate have a rivalry first before all of this happened. As for Doug III’s line, “You can’t be alone when the ball drops. It’s bad luck”… Not to get too personal but I think that might be true

Btw, we all know that Brady’s not the sharpest crayon in the box, but you think he would’ve realized that his little demon spawn was probably the one sending the texts after Ava told him where they were coming from.

And yeah, Paulina’s still a lousy Mayor. Can EJ sue, like Rafe can? Which still would have been a much better way to cause conflict for Rafe/Jada than Fake Rafe 2.0. They’re getting it right with Shawn/Belle; they could’ve also gotten it right with Rafe/Jada too.

I don't think the writers wrote that and I don't need Jada dealing with Shawn and Belle problems I think Jada's character has bigger things to worry about I expect it will be Jada getting pregnant not knowing if the baby is for Fake Rafe or Real Rafe 

Rafe and Jada having Fake Rafe as drama  fits them currently because Jada didn't know about that part of Rafe's past and it makes the most sense for them as a pairing and they dealt with work issues on the show before they didn't need that again written for them

    • 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.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
