The guys in the white coats are coming for kristina

[Antoyne]

Carly in mama bear mode vs Willow is where Laura Wright truly shines. Loved the scenes today and her telling Willow she was essentially Nelle. I still go back to wondering what will actually wake Willow up. I’m starting to think nothing actually will.

Time to commit crazy ass Kristina finally.

[Contessa Donatella]

Oh, yeah, finally they let us see Mama Bear, thank god!!! Great writing today both for that fight & for Alexis & Diane trying to figure out some way to keep Kristina out of prison. 

[Liberty City]

It's overdue!

[CrazySexyQ]

I don't care for Willow, but I'm on her side. I can't stand Carly ( a lot of it has to do with the biased writing and the acting at times.) I'm here for any time other characters can call that shrew out on her crap.

Emma has grown on me so much. She's feisty, has her own mind, and isn't cookie cutter. 

[prefab1]

Objectively, I think they each have some valid points, but Laura Wright is a much stronger actress than Kaitlyn MacMullen, so I'm on Team Carly. 

[CrazySexyQ]

Without question, Laura Wright is the stronger actress. With the right actress, Willow could've been more like Sarah Brown's Carly. It would've been a full circle moment to have Carly dealing with her karma in human form.

But the biased writing and Carly's constant attack mode have turned me off the character. TB might've swayed me because she was oh-so-good at showing all sides of Carly, not just the feral one. Carly is just too nasty for me to ever enjoy, and Laura, as great as an actress she is, just leans into the smugness and snarling too much. She was pitch perfect as Cassie and Ally but does nothing for me as Carly now. 

As an aside, Nina needs to be rebooted or written out. Cynthia needs to do more than hand-wringing on the sidelines.

Carly has about 30 years of wrongs.  She's not great.  But she wiped the floor with Willow and doofus Drew.

[Antoyne]

As Carly said Willow the cheater somehow wants to be the heroine in the story of falling in love with her husband’s uncle and then moving in with him.

[carolineg]

I am here for Willow the villain, but Carly was absolutely right.  Even if she's flawed herself.  I at least like Carly.  And like, literally, your boyfriend slept with Carly so that's gross and weird already.  Oh Wait!  Her mom did too!  I can't wait for the fallout on this lol.

[ranger1rg]

I thought both actors were very good in those scenes, but Laura Wright was definitely given the winner's dialogue. Yes, she pulled it off, but it's clear who is treated like a princess on that set.

And look at Cynthia Watros -- Nina just stood there in scene after scene after scene. That was a disgraceful use of CW, and it wasn't in  character for Nina to do say and do nothing but send a text to Jason.

Diane said ferncliff?

[AbcNbc247]

Yeah... they really want us to hate Willow

I'm not fully on Willow's side but I gotta admit, that fight was great. Both Carly and Willow gave as good they got and I hope that continues. And, it's been nice to see Willow finally grow some balls lol now she just needs to find them whenever it comes to Drew.

[Khan]

She'll find them just before she guns down Drew (and lets Nina take the fall).
