Coming into January...

 

Well, I gotta give credit where credit is due to Casting. That NuEmma does favor the OldEmma in the face and hair. Well done!! That said...Emma coming back a bad girl? Oooo.

 

Watching the Ava story play out all I can say is WTF!!!! WHO????????? There aren't any Cassadines alive who could contest the divorce settlement. I mean is there anyone except Nik (who's in jail), Alexis (who didn't care less), and Valentin (who would do it as a way to keep his character on the canvas good one Frank out of spite). Did I miss a living Cassadine? Is Stefan finally coming back? I mean...*shrugs* And even if I didn't have that reaction...Ava has been a successful art gallery owner for a decade now. Ava broke just rings all kinds of false. Unless they need her in a scheme OR a way to get Ava/Ric to come together plot-wise...unneeded since they were coming together organically. 

 

Speaking of organically... @Antoyne...yeah that salon set has been used before. And YES, LOVED Ric riding to Liz's rescue. That lawyer was irking me so I love Ric giving it to her. But I loved that Sam's death so far has been a Liz story and appears to continue to be so. 

 

Ugh!!! How I glared seeing JS's face in the opening with Val back. FV made sure to put that face up with the quickness, didn't he? And all this is the first fumble in Lulu's storyline for me. My bad. Second because while I've loved all of her interactions with Tracy, just ONE (okay two) scenes of her with her actual mother and brother?  Well, I got it so I loved it, but ugh. And yay at Brennan sending a gunman though does that mean that Val WAS the head of Pikeman?

 

Is Lucas about to get a storyline? Because I loved him reading Willow and Drew down and that someone played the beat of his connection to Wiley. 

 

Sonny having a heart attack. Well...

 

Okay than that, the designer keeps getting Isaiah less clothed and I don't mind at all.

This is where Holly staying around longer might have made sense. If Holly encouraged her to get Q money, Sasha may have been reminded of why she distanced herself from Holly and also convince her to distance herself from Michael.

You join just hordes of fans who are asking, "Where the frack is all the money that Ava had on her own, before the blasted Cassadine divorce settlement?!"

I would add, though, that a few things that Marty said would seem to be of importance. First, he said that Nik misused some Cassadine money that he shouldn't have had access to in the first place. Then he mentioned these Greek guys who seemed to be some kind of leadership over the Cassadine inheritance. Last he reminded us that the Cassadines do not give a flip about eldest living son, which is why Nik is not he & now suddenly Ace is. (That part is sheer GH. IRL there is no way that would happen.)

We did see Brennan tell Colette, "You know what to do." But somehow I still resist. I wondered if Colette was working on her own, outside of orders. I have to admit though that this could be only because I do not like Colette. 

And, the rest, I agree.

I suppose this explains why Cameron is out there pushing them as a supercouple. No matter much a lot of fans hate Drew, it's hard to imagine the show giving up on him. I suppose Cameron briefly posing bare-assed on Instagram was also a way to try to coax some new fans.

Yep. Too vague. When the audience knows the history. Nice try though, but sloppy writing. Per usual. 

Sounds like the Peter August situation all over again. Just minus the rewrote that the audience did not like in the first place.

Metaphorically at least, this is what we as soap fans are stuck with. However, it wasn't always like this. I remember when dialogue not only made sense but it answered questions that the audience needed to know about. 

We've got a fracking lot of things to be hollering about!!! Drew is at least near the vicinity of #1 thing to holler about. I mean, GMAB, this man said that Drillow will be the new Luke & Laura. I basically fell out of my chair, landed on the floor, rolled around laughing so hard till I couldn't catch my breath. Who knew he is going for The Drew WhateverHisNameIsThisWeek Comedy Hour?

I’m so confused how Ava has literally no money when she was pretty well off for years before Nikolas. I remember that much from when I used to watch. It’s just a stupid plot device to embarass Ava as I guess it’s that time of the month again.

THIS.

 

I know I saw comments here and there, but watching it go down...no wonder. Make this make sense. Ava is not this stupid or desperate. And even if she was, as soon as she failed to get Laura on her side, I would at least expect Ava to start a scheme from the minute she found out Alexis was in charge of the money...especially given that SHE was the one responsible for Alexis almosts not getting her law license back.

    • Where do you discover this crazy rumor??
    • Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.
    • This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.  
    • It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).
