Yep… still Team Jacob.

But I was still liking the conflict between him and Naomi though and I’m excited to see where it’s gonna go. And I wonder if the new partner is going to play into it. 

And, I’m surprised but I actually had a little sympathy for Bill too

I honestly find Naomi and Jacob to be a snooze.

In my experience most modern soaps have one sacrificial lamb early in their run. Often it's one of the purest or kindest characters. I think a Dupree will die in the first year (pre-planned or otherwise) and I won't be shocked if it is Naomi, who is angelic, upright and boring to a fault. I might cut both of them. He said in Week 3! I know, I'm awful.

That is her cousin possibly. But something tells me, too, he might be her brother b/c Ted keeps bringing him up.

Call me farfetched, but something tells me they're twins and MVJ and Guza might borrow from their Santa Barbara days with the Quinn/Robert twin arc. I assume this b/c I remember Sheila Duckworth and Daphnee Duplaix saying it gets real wacky for Nicole around the end of April. 

Oh, their marriage is headed towards trouble. I think the detective is about to cause a lot hardship for them going forward. I can foresee him getting Jacob wrapped up in some mess. 

I want it to happen to b/c it'd put Leslie and Dani at odds, too. Could you imagine those two combustible elements at each other's necks?! Heaven help the DMV area and Fairmont Crest. 

Oh well.  They're taking it and elevating the name to new heights! Plus, this TomKat is . The original was creepy and I feel like Josephine Potter ain't recovered since that mess.

Wasn't Dr. Jonathan Kinder a plastic surgeon?  I know he was tied up in the Erica, Janet, Skye, Marian storyline (which I loved) back in the 90s... maybe I'm mixing up his profession with Janet's plastic surgery return, but I thought he might have been.

Episode 12: messy/sloppy.  Jacob/Naomi not working for me. They should have made Bill and Ted brothers. The episode felt disjointed.  Still feel Zimmerman/Brown are a winning script combo but Dani's character is still a mess of contradictions.  They got some work to do with some of the actors (Ted, Jacob in particular in this episode). I liked Anita/Vernon scenes. Some of the pop culture and historical references in the script are a bit heavy handed but I like the realism they are bringing to some of the plots/characters.

What I found odd about Ted recognizing Silkpress is that they made such a point last week that he hadn't recognized her last week when he passed her by. Something is definitively off, though would they already pull the ole twin switcharoo trope?

Wow, I didnt even think about Dana vs Dani! That would be good. 

BTW, why did they make Leslie's real name, Dana? Its too similar to the main character and Im sure it will confuse people if she starts going by it

Silkpress vs Dani has potential to be epic. I agree with you guys. I can definitely see Dani held in a dungeon by Silkpress... who has taken over her social media and posts for her behalf.

Bill is still on my BAD list but he's not #1 any more. Leslie has overtaken that #1 slot. Bill, Hayley, Leslie, Eva & Martin are that list.

Derek, of course, is awful but doesn't fit on either list.

My other list, GOOD, is longer. Anita, Vernon, Dani, Nicole, Andre, Pamela, Vanessa, Mona, the Mike Manning character (I hate his name.), Naomi, Chelsea, Jacob ... 

The thing about Leslie is that nothing, or pretty much so, is worse than pretending to be suicidal. That is it, the epitome of "badness". How could you get worse?

I pointed out this problem the other day, having two females with their names being the feminine derivative of Daniel is just too close.

I think pretending to have a loaded gun and making people think you're going to kill them... is quite "bad" too...

Count me in on the group that can’t stand Naomi or the actress. What a self-righteous and hypocritical bore. 

I do think they need to explore Naomi and Haley’s relationship more though. Naomi brought Haley into the fold but they never interact or share any meaningful scenes in passing. There needs to be some type of reckoning between the two - maybe they can get trapped in a room or something before Naomi is killed off.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
