Th show definitely subverted my expectations bc i thought for sure Leslie was gonna show the paternity test at the even or at the very least reveal herself. Thank god that didnt happen but with how fast paced this show has been going, it felt on par

I like her but im going to need them to tone it down bc she is coming across too much like a cartoon. She was better written in the first week when she seemed normal with hints of villainy but now she's a full blown psycho and Id have rather watch her slowly unravel

I wonder why Kat couldnt be at her mother's event. They wrote her out of town for a reason and I wonder will come out of that trip for her.

I agree with your statement regarding Leslie has been cartoon-ish the last several days. Additionally, I think it would maybe help the viewers understand her and her affair with Ted a little more if the show provided flashbacks of the affair playing out, why Ted ended it etc.  I still would like to know who she is working with on the Paternity Test.  

 

I was wondering why Kat wasn't there either if it was such a big event.  If one of my parents was receiving a prestigous honor, I would postpone my trip out of town until afterwards in order to attend.  I wish they would have explained it that Kat had the flu or something as was sick in bed and then had her facetime her mom or dad at one point.  That would have been more believable.

She's definitely coming off as a psycho. She remind me of Janet from Another Planet, although Janet had more layers to her. Hopefully, we see more layers to Leslie because the character has potential. I don't want her to be written into a corner.

I dont think thats the reason bc this wasnt sudden. They've been mentioning that Kat would be out of town for a while.  I feel like there is a story reason that will factor in later

 

Speaking of Kat, does anyone know if thats short for Katherine, Katrina or something else?

She's coming across more like 2000s Janet and not 90s Janet. I liked Leslie best when there was an air of mystery around her and we speculated but werent quite sure if she was crazy. She put that dusty wig on and went full blown psycho

She was but she was more layered and I dont think was all that cartoonish compared to the 2000s version

She was like a caricature when she returned where before I felt she was a bit more subdued. And when Natalie was alive there was at least the contrast between the two to play off of. I guess Id prefer Leslie to be more like Robin Mattson's Janet and less Kate Collins which is probably a better comparison than strict 90s vs 00s

I know that was the reason given but why did they write her out of town for that. i mean they could have had the business meeting in DC. The writers specifically wanted her out of town for a reason

Given us old school 'Make Them Wait.' A good example of how to actually stall and it not look like they are stalling while upping our anticipation. Like soaps used to do.

I'm pretty sure the montage where Andre was taking pictures of everyone IS a real song.

 

Same. All they need is to find their rhythm with the stories which I trust they will.

      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.

      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.
