It was not a waste of either Carly's time or Jason's time & no one else's time matters. And, the message was coming from not only the best person to deliver it but literally the only person Carly was likely to hear it from. Felicia? Even her brother Lucas? But, frustrated Jason talking to frustrated Carly in her kitchen, one afternoon, yes, then & there, with the two of them, then it became possible. The dialogue yesterday between Jason & Carly was replete with history & with promises.

It really makes me so happy as a longtime Ric fan to see how well they’re treating him this run. Hearst still has chemistry with all of his old scene partners and already has it with his new ones as well.

What's great about Ric so far this tenure is his treatment of other people, which is exactly what his problem was in the past. Then he treated multiple people badly. Now he's treated no one badly.

I thought the acting was decent and there were some nice nods to history, but Jason/Carly have this exact conversation once a week!  We get it show.  Carly/Jason are bff for life.  Carly won't listen and it will blow up in her face and Jason will save her. 

There is so much airtime dedicated to their friendship while other people and other relationships can't buy 5 minutes a week.  I like both Jason and Carly separately and even I get frustrated hearing the same dialogue over and over for an entire hour.  Can't Jason go check on his kids or Liz or something?   Who Carly is sleeping with feels low on the list of things Jason should be concerned about.

Emma's activism is such a refreshing change from the generic good/bad, studious/ballsy, etc. we've been served when it comes to younger characters. It's specific and doesn't go against what we know of her upbringing or her family.

It's sad that they really do not care.

100% this. It’s the first time since Spencer came back in ‘21 that they’ve introduced or reintroduced a younger character who isn’t just an archetype.

When was the last Danny and Jason scene? Has Jason spoken to Jake since he abruptly left town?

Both Jason & Carly had scenes with Danny when Sam died, which was Halloween, and off & on for a few weeks after, so in November. I think Jason has made reference to speaking to Barcelona boy, whether that was just texting, unsure, but twice. So typical contact for soap kids. Nothing special.

It looks like Danny appeared last month, but I really don't recall if it was with Jason.  Probably?  I can't say I have been terribly impressed with the Jason/Danny relationship after the initial reactions around Sam's death.  

And don't even get me started on Jake.  Such an odd decision to have him leave town now that Jason is back lol.  Meanwhile we have kids like Charlotte and Violet before her being central in storylines.

I really like how Ric and Ava are putting together the pieces so quickly about what Kristina did. If they can use this as leverage against despicable Kristina and Sonny, all the better.

I liked the Lucky-Kristina scenes, although I think his softheartedness will backfire big time (and maybe spark some conflict with Elizabeth). I don't recall Liz and Lucas ever having a very close friendship, but their scenes discussing their dating lives were very cute today.

Brad's best days were when Britt was alive, so basically long ago. Recently Brad has been one big zero.

Agreed on both points.

Ava and Ric are so delicious together and they figured this out incredibly quickly so I just knew another turn was bound to happen.

Kristina might be one of the most despicable characters I've ever seen lmao and NOT because she nearly got two people killed. But the way she weaponizes Molly and TJ's daughter's and Sam's deaths to manipulate people. With her and Lucky it was "my baby" and "Adela" but notice how the baby suddenly becomes hers and Molly's later on? Ugh I hate her.

Ava will blackmail Sonny. She will demand custody of Avery and cash in exchange for not turning Kristina in.
