Truly is. And I am sure he's still claiming he was fired from the role of Paul, despite his own words stating otherwise. Pathetic excuse of a so-called "human being".

[Taoboi]

And that bubble at the end. lol. But like I said...scruff really and truly be making all the difference. 

 

Hmmm. It's been so long, I'm not sure where CK falls on that. I do at least see her vs Damian when he gets to town. I just threw the love interest idea out there because of the odd scene between her and Billy who haven't had a scene since Victor got Chancellor and it's been longer since they referenced their relationship vs their workingship. So it made me go hmmm. I don't know about her and Daniel given how their relationship ended, but weirder things have happened. 

 

re: Amy. I was not watching when Amy was around, but this was mentioned here as well. I would love to see her interact with people that are still on the canvas that knew her and find it odd she has not. Moreso because Lauren has been active as of late and given the stories they are in are currently centered (for Amy it's Damian, for Lauren all things Victor/Sharon) so a nice meet-up at Crimson Lights to rehash the stories while seeing how the other is doing would be nice to see. As for the other question...I continue to feel Damian already knows all of this and is self-made, but playing like he is not. But that's off of his first meeting with Nate. I'm still finishing off last week so we'll see. 

 

Yep. I love MO's new hairstyle, too.

 

And...we have to disagree. lol. I just feel HK plays psycho better than a Mary Sue.

Oh, lord. Not things getting interesting. Now that the Sharon storyline appears to be finally wrapping up, it has surprised me how much the many parts of stories I want to see appear to be moving. 

 

I'm not even going to lie. I love that the Damian storyline has started to move after being a C plot most of last week. And just watching the first meeting between Damian and Nate, I'm still going to say what I've already said...either he already knows who Nate is and is planning something OR he already knows who Nate is because the company he is working for is HIS company and he is still planning something. Probably brotherly revenge. And I was thinking earlier that perhaps since there is a void where Tucker was, he will be taking that spot. But I found the whole scenes of them was just full of intrigue from how CO played it.

 

We know how I feel about HotHead Nick so I'll just...hush. lol. That said the energy that Ray Wise continues to bring to Ian has been crazy to watch. I love how he plays his menace so under the surface to the other characters, but he plays it so clear for the audience to see. He was sooooo taunting Nick to swing. Loved it. And I'm surprised that Sharon still saw Cameron, but I guess she's still drugged. Meanwhile...not Mariah/Tessa about to get a storyline as a result of Ian's return. Because Tessa has been looking at Ian these last two episodes like she could be a potential Ian convert...which given her past would make sense. She managed to get a second chance so she might be willing to see the good in Ian...if it even exist.

 

And now Jordan is starting her side of the story. She's been itching to run into Claire. And I thought that near miss at Crimson Light was so well done from the actresses and the look on Claire's face when she heard the order to the dramatic music and camera angles. 

 

Awww. Danny gone again. I'm always here for Danny/Daniel scenes. 

 

My least fave part was (sadly) Jack, Diane, and Kyle. I've over that repetitive conversation.

How? How could they waste last week's growing momentum? How? Of course, I will probably be eating my words by Friday. 

 

Outside of two things (okay THREE if I count Shirtless Nate), this episode was nothing, but filler. Cuz I don't care for Adam/Chelesa or the OCD storyline. 

 

What I did care about was the simmering tension slowly growing between Chance/Summer/Kyle/Claire. There were some really good camera angles as they showed more and more how isolated Summer felt from the growing Kyle/Claire/Harrison bond. And AL definitely sold it and the snark. Kinda ew? on how Harrison knew about Kyle/Claire. But I was just happy to see Summer with Chance, out and about and Connor Floyd looking oooh so hot. But ugh! That whole conversation Chance had with Summer had me mentally screaming. They may be 'on break,' but he has Summer's number. And it was so adult that he listened to her and still called her out on her growing jealousy and the fact that lives change. Why go back to a boy when she's finally with a MAN?? 

 

And the highlight was Audra/Nate. God, they really have grown as a couple. And just watching them in scenes, you feel the chemistry. You see the playfulness. And how accepting they are of each other. And they both look HOT. SD has been looking like a snack for weeks so I'm so happy they got him out of that shirt. lol. That said...the coda...I WAS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Though I liked the humor Audra brought to that scene. 

 

So what game is Daiman playing? Hmmm.

[Khan]

Or...?  Cameron isn't just a fig newton of her imagination.

Oh, no. I've been floating that theory since before Heather was killed. So you aren't alone on that one.  

 

I actually was wondering if it was Cameron behind it all in the first place. Because JG kept playing with whether Sharon was seeing him or not. And the direction of scenes were like he appeared when no one else were around. But then there would be scenes when he was there when others were around. So I thought she was drugged. Especially once Mariah found out Sharon was still taking her meds (because they thought Sharon was off her meds), but Cameron kept appearing. So I had hoped that meant he was actually alive. But then...enter Ian and Jordan. I...was disappointed a little bit because it seem like it might actually be him. They really played it like that more than just a figment. But alas. 

[Khan]

How do you know, though, Sharon wasn't imagining those other people in the room?

OMG LOL!!!! Now you leave poor Sharon alone. She's been through a lot with Jordan's drugs!

[Khan]

I'm just saying, lol!

[Taoboi]

I mean at this point if it turns out he is alive...I WILL be shocked, but at the same time...of course JG would add on more mess when it should have been him all along. 

[Antoyne]

So Claire thought it’d be a good idea to chase down Jordan on her own

Of course she did. RME. 

 

 

[soapfan770]

Le sigh, as soon as I saw Chelsea on yesterday’s episode I felt the energy was sucked out of the show lol.

And more OCD nonsense, I’m sorry for the poor preteen actor who plays Connor has been given this  [!@#$%^&*] to play out lol.

I too loved the Chance & Summer scenes and glad that they again had another mature yet romantic dinner. I think the next thing to do to save Summer from missing her old whipping boy would be for Chance & Summer take a nice little trip with Harrison & Dom or something to maybe realize they want their own family? 
 

And yes to Nate & Audra scenes…wow those well done. LOL at the humor too….I had to rewind because I thought Nate told Audra she had stinky feet (caressing them no less) but then realized it was a joke

And the funny thing is that Chelsea was not at all bugging me. But that whole storyline and pairing her with Adam again is just a snoozefest. Sally has more potential that holds my interest with Billy and the Giggly Heffa and I don't like the latter two. 

 

I wish Summer could see the catch that she has in front of her. Because if it had been Kyle and she was talking about another guy, I just don't feel that it would go down the same way. At all. Chance has clear characteristics that make him a catch. And she caught him. So her feeling some kinda way about Kyle/Claire, while in character for Summer, is just eye-rolling. If it starts to go the way this storyline appears to be going, I do hope that Chance still has a POV and fights for her at least. 

 

LOL. If you had told me that Nate/Audra would come across as a real couple a year ago, I would have laughed. But...here we are.
