Watching Monday’s episode where we got a very lengthy set of scenes with Laura and Lulu talking about their family—specifically the heartache Laura has had to deal with for years with Lucky gone, Lulu comatose, Nikolas in jail, and Spencer presumed dead then coming here and reading these last couple of pages made me question if we’re all watching the same show for a second.

The show could definitely utilize Genie Francis better but I don’t think her onscreen treatment is as egregious as its made out to be. I don’t agree that Tracy has gotten more screen time with Lulu than Laura has, it feels pretty evenly spilt to me—as it should considering how big of a role Tracy has played in Lulu’s life.

I’m still enjoying the show overall but centering so much drama around Cody as an activator and Sonny using Natalia to hide his heart issues definitely quailed my interest after a great run of episodes focused on the Michael/Willow/Drew/Tracy custody games.

I’ll just say it, Jane and Alexa have a much more believable chemistry than Genie and Alexa. If you had no prior knowledge and stumbled upon the show one day, you can easily assume Lulu was Tracy’s actual daughter and Laura was either an aunt or some close acquaintance.

I suppose you could say Genie and Alexa haven't really had the chance yet, but I agree. I just don't think there's anything especially compelling in the Laura/Lulu relationship and I don't think Genie has much of a spark with those around her (she did when she was younger, but I don't think her work has ever been the same since she was forced to return to the show in 1998). On paper, there's a story to tell about Lulu not being very close to Laura compared to Tracy because Tracy was there for her in the years Laura could not be, the years that made Lulu who she now is. Unfortunately, that story is probably never going to be told.

Not really an NAC fan, but I do wonder if it's all that uncommon for someone to not attend their former onscreen love interest's birthday party. 

I just hope Tabyana gets more respect from the show. If not then I hope she leaves, if she is able to do so.

-- That entire scene with Tracy screaming about the mouse on the bookshelf and ordering Sasha to kill it was ludicrous. I understand needing a way to let everyone know Sasha is pregnant, but come on.

-- I do not care that Brook Lynn can have a baby. I do not care that Chase can't father one. But why does Brook Lynn look so confused when Chase tells her "I can't get you pregnant"?

The Babies Rabies on this show continues to be pathetic.

I enjoyed all the Quatermaine scenes today minus the recycling of the same Tracy being mean to Sasha set up. Everyone debating how to handle Willow was hilarious and Jason being in the middle of Q banter still blows my mind in a good way. I’m not surprised he figured out Michael was Sasha’s baby daddy so quickly.

Lois and Brook Lynn’s scenes were really good and the anvil dropping with Gio continues to make me laugh, same for Chase being a blank shooter.

I still like nuEmma a lot and she has good chemistry with FH and KW. Felicia warning Carly about Jack was also nice to see after their bonding over Bobbie’s death.

Speaking of Jackly I wish they would let them kiss already lol, I love their scenes though. Valentin popping up to strangle Jack at the end was a surprise I hope Jack ends up beating his creeper ass.

Poor Alexis finally finding out Sam was murdered. Portia is awful at her job tbh and the way she swerved Alexis off to Isaiah for questioning was funny but pathetic. When this story wraps I hope she and Terry lose their jobs.

Trina and Kai

I've read good and bad things about NAC, but we really don't know him. We have no idea why he didn't attend that birthday party, and it's ridiculous to claim it's because he thinks he's too big a star to be there.

 

I like Tabyana Ali, but I'm honestly not seeing her as some breakout star from the soaps. I just don't.

GH seems to be trying to give her story, but this stuff with Kai is deadly.

Ugh, as others have said, the writing for Tracy today was awful.

I did enjoy some of the Q scenes however.

And I actually liked the ending of the episode with Jack and Valentin.

    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
