So do I. I think KM is killing it and the relationships there feel right as well as with Nicole's kids (though Martin is a bit old for Daphnee Duplaix).

It doesn't take me out of the show so much as a couple weaker actors do, but this is Week 3 - things will get ironed out.

Re: families. I don't think we need a rival family at this point to be honest as the show is busy as it is at the moment. They can always pull out that card once Silkpress's revenge business is done and Bill / Dani / Hayley winds down. Not everything needs to be introduced at once (if anything I think they've introduced too many c-storylines at the moment that don't have the ability to grow for a while due to the business of the A/B storylines)  - we're just about to end week 3!

There's a whole generation that's only ever known streaming at this point and "Netflix drops". You often see them getting into linear tv shows and being confused at the concept of not only one episode at a time, but the fact that there's episodes spread out and aired irregularly during nine months. At least Beyond the Gates doesn't have that problem (except for pre-emptations).

I really enjoyed today’s episode! I was relieved that Leslie didn’t actually make a scene and she was escorted out before she could (thanks to Eva haha) based on what others said I was thinking she had barged her way onto the stage alongside Ted and Nicole. Definitely glad this story will be played out longer it looks like.

Martin and Smitty got another little kiss too today at least! Haha. 
 

Are they still using real music in the background? Sometimes something sounds familiar, but then sometimes it’s hard to tell.

Good episode, but I still think everything’s moving too fast. 

They really need to allow these storylines to breathe and develop all of these characters some more, which the exception of the core four. Ted, for example could really use a friend to confide in about Leslie lol and what happens to Leslie after all of this is exposed? She goes away and just pops up once a year to cause trouble like Orpheus and Clyde on Days? I agree, Trisha is a standout among the cast, and I feel she deserves more than that. 

The pacing, and the fact that everyone in the family, the community, etc. are so fine with Dani after she just tried to kill people is B&B-like. 

And yeah, Martin is still a dick. Hopefully, they bring in a man for Smitty to cheat with and eventually dump Martin’s petty bitch ass for.

I just noticed Smitty/Mike Manning was wearing the same tuxedo on today's episode from the soap's opening.

I liked today's episode, but they needed more extras at the award gala and someone to actually emcee the gala and give Nicole the award, not her family.

I loved the ending, and I'm sure Eva is going to double-cross Leslie before this story is done.

I was surprised to see Robert Christopher Riley, who played Michael Culhane on Dynasty, pop up as a co-worker of Ted's who attended the gala. The way Nicole interacted with him for a moment seemed to imply there was more to come with him...maybe her love interest down the line???

See this is what gets me and makes me think that Dani is more upset over losing her career and what could have been her career that she gave up when she married Bill, rather than losing her marriage.  I wish they would stop having Dani be so hung up on Bill and explore her as an independent woman who is learning to pick up the pieces of her life and stand on her own 2 feet.

    • Is that recent? She looks good. I like her social media posts about her animals and things. Someone was trying to give her crap about her relationship with Andy Gibb and the drug issues. And she replied, “You didn’t know us. You didn’t know what was in our hearts. Tread lightly on broken dreams.” Classy way to shut someone down.
    • Welcome back, Will and Eric!  They were both used so well today. I’m so glad that they’re going to be here for Marlena and everybody. She definitely needs them. And I love that we got a flashback of Will and John, and that Will credits him as the reason that he’s so courageous. Hopefully, he has scenes with Arianna coming up, and possibly Doug III. I think there’s a storyline there, especially considering what Will said about her being so stubborn and also a little similar to John. Btw, even though Chandler Massey is technically old enough to have an 18 year old child, he definitely doesn’t look it lol  And we got a Will and Paul reunion too. It really is too bad that we can’t get them full time. There’s still so much drama that can be mined from the two of them, and their relationships with Sonny and Andrew, especially now. But with Leo still slithering around, I guess it’s for the best that we’re not getting that

        And I love that Will was there for Johnny too. We never really got to see their relationship on screen and I’m glad that we got some of it today. I wish their scenes had been a little longer though. There’s a lot more that they need to discuss about EJ and the rape. But I like that Will comforted him about whether or not he was worthy of having John’s name. And that Marlena was able to shrink him about leaving EJ in the square after he fell.  Eric’s reunion with everybody was really sweet too. I loved the dorky family moment Belle is still being a total douche but I like the drama of her storyline. And I do think that she isn’t being completely stupid, when it comes to EJ. I’m glad that she has Brady though, who was also used very well today. He was breaking my heart in the scene where he was at John’s bedside.  And, congratulations EJ. I think lol  But I have to say, all this talk about John’s miraculous recovery is a little tough to here And, the final scene with John and Marlena
    • Reva should have had a stroke...leaving her permanently MUTE.  Not able to utter a single sound, not even the slightest blubber or gurgle.

       And shakin’ me up so, that all I really know is here you come again… and here I go  Enjoy, @Soapsuds
    • I'm still hoping that Leslie turns out to be Sharon's daughter. As I think it could bring another dynamic to the show and the Duprees eventually will need a rival family.

      I said Dorian Harewood on Twitter would be good for Dante Green too.

    • Could Nikki just be a big Gram Parsons fan? I think it works for Julie, but they should be doing better by Traci - none of this, from hair to wardrobe, is flattering.
    • To be fair, I don't think she was written out as much as not being written for as they had to gear up for the final episode. I'd assume they might've had the option to use her again but they just didn't find the space.
