I actually like the Martin/Dani bond. I think they could play it more because he comes off like the straight (don't!) man to her antics and has kind of a droll, amused reaction to her business while she gets to be kooky but fun with him. It helps that BC has seriously improved.

Hayley letting us all know she's a lady in the street now.

These scenes didn't have the passion and heat as their other love scenes or the fight scene. Yeah they have their booty call hook ups, but I'm sensing that a connection is forming that's going to turn into love.

Exactly what I've been saying all along.

Just giving some sass about your "straight" remark. Although, they have Martin playing straight in every way except the fact he goes to bed with a man. His personality, his role in his marriage, how he goes about those relationship dynamics. Dani needs to take her and the gays to a gay bar one night...or in soap world...Uptown has a drag night.

I don't see Martin as playing str8 at all tbh. But I do think his intimacy and rapport with Smitty/Mike Manning onscreen has improved by leaps and bounds since the first month or two, when he came off like a cold, robotic controlling spouse.

-- Beating A Dead Horse, Part XIV: Samantha looks 30, and Najah Jackson isn't even trying to play her younger. I don't know what the hell casting was doing.

-- Wasn't Chelsea supposed to move away from modeling? Then why is she spending so much time working on Samantha's modeling career? It makes no sense. Besides, Samantha doesn't even have that model look.

-- A partnership at the law firm is mentioned for Tomas. In what world is Tomas partner material?

-- Silk Press was good again today. I enjoy how she appears and disappears at the most convenient moments LOL

-- I hope Dani sticks to her guns and says no to working for Chelsea. I don't know in what world Chelsea would want her around anyway.

-- When anyone here says Dani should be written out, I have a hard time with everything else that person says.

-- If Anita returns to the spotlight, I hope they keep it realistic and not pretend she's going to fill stadiums and huge arenas. Keep it small and simple, like with classy lounges and clubs. Don't pretend she's going to be some huge hit on Spotify. I mention this because I think that "going too big" mistake was made in talking about Martin's run for president.

I don't think Martin was ever seriously going to be depicted running for POTUS, so I don't think it's an issue.

I do love the hilarious Tide plugs. All that's needed next is for the Tide to literally spoon in between Dani and Andre post-coital. "I don't play games, Dre. Not on the runway, not in business and not with these fine linens. I'm about that Oxi Boost."

God I love Trisha Mann-Grant. Can I just say this... without any freaking reason? Well no... actually - there's a huge reason - she's soooo good. SOOOO GOOD. Any episode she's in... I'm wide awake... no missing a beat. I swear if these Emmys don't be careful in nominating her in the future... I'm gonna put on my Sherry wig and do something about it.

    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
