The one thing I've noticed so far on this soap is that a random line/comment seems to be foreshadowing of sorts for future story.

In Week 1: Hayley wondering if people at the law firm liked her, or held it against her that she was marrying the boss while a offhand comment from Mike about Hayley got Bill upset.  Turned out to be foreshadowing the lawsuit story and confirmed Hayley's instincts were correct.

So today's comments from Ted about his lawyer will probably tie Bill and/or Mike into the story with Silk Press Sheila.

Also, Smitty's comments about the influencer story he was going to be doing and mentioning he hoped to talk to Chelsea after the fashion show makes me think her two random scenes of Chelsea's double life with the guy and his partner will probably tie into whatever this new story Smitty is chasing is.

I knew when Shanice last week mentioned Laura and how Eva is just ok compared to Laura.. I knew Laura would be making her way back into the story.

Now that you mentioned it re: Mike. It was there the whooole time!

 

I was thinking it was Bill for sure. But for the first time...I just thought...what if the lawyer was actually TOMAS. It would be another layer to the SilkPress storyline AND the evolving Kat/Eva feud, too. Which now that I typed that...SilkPress did have that scene with Eva about how she didn't like her cozing up to a lawyer. That could be another foreshadowing. I think Mike would be a good choice as well. 

 

Oooo that would be a messy storyline, too. Because what would be more important to Smitty...getting back to the thrill of an expose or protecting the Duprees? Cuz you know Martin would pick on him with an 'I told you so' if he picked the expose over the family. 

 

I find it funny that people were wondering about Laura when Nosy Nurse made that comment. And they wondered about Laura again and she showed up again today.

I would hope that it is inadvertent and just a quirk of the casting rather than an intentional move. And save for the threats Ted isn't much more terrible than Bill so unless Ted actually acts on those threats he is mostly on the same level.

But I will say that casting overall leaned rather fair skinned for the Black characters. That goes with the overall trend for casting Black characters across entertainment though.

Same.

He didn't start off perfect, but the potential was there. He simply needed the time. Something I constantly said, and we know I've been posting since Episode 1. I said when he was good. I said when he was bad. And I know I said my worries about the main plot IS him and how I hope he does improve for that very reason. So many threads hang on him. 

Oh?

It's amazing how much better this show is (for me at least) when Dana, Eva, Nicole, and Ted are featured prominently, and when Ashley, Derek, Andre, and Dani aren't. 

Again, I don't even notice when Ashley and Derek aren't on unless someone calls it out - that's how much I don't care about those characters and have yet to be given a reason to from both the writing and the acting. 

It goes without saying, but Trisha Mann-Grant is a f.ucking STAR. The way she can switch from being casual with her friends in the diner, to being conniving against Ted, to bursting out in tears to hide her ulterior motives is amazing to watch. This is an actress who cares and invests beyond the bare minimum. If the Daytime Emmy's even mean anything anymore, she should be a top contender for Supporting Actress next season.

ITA. It could have been that he has two dads, that one of his dads is congressman, or that he's seen as a spoiled rich kid. I am starting to like their family dynamic more though.

ALL OF THIS.

Trisha Mann-Grant is a real delight, and I enjoy every episode she's in. I just hope they don't write her into a corner but find a way to keep her long-term.

Today's episode worked better because we saw some plot movement, family interactions, variety of characters, confrontations and intrigue etc

Martin's acting is improving-thankfully.

What is with Nicole and Febreeze?? It's not like they even show a closeup of the can, so I don't know what they're thinking in terms of product placement.

When they showed Nicole with Febreeze last week, it was more obvious. 
Yesterday Monday it was much less obvious, but on the live broadcast yesterday right after she sprayed, it cut to a Febreeze commercial.

      Yeah.  As one of the biggest John and John/Marlena fans here I don't like this exit.  I know the circumstances were difficult and Drake apparently signed off on this.  I think him dying while killing Orpheus was the way to go.  There isn't a scenario I can imagine John not immediately running home to see Marlena before he helps Bo.  It's very difficult to watch his family wait for him and be so excited.   I am positive the aftermath will be great.  I just don't love the exit.

      Wouldn't the plan have been to pair Denny and Steve for a Steve/Denny/Carrie triangle and try to recreate the Tess/Bill dynamic from their time at Love of Life? Or was it just a short term thing like her role on ATWT? Maybe Toni wasn't interested in contract gigs?

      Gail was around months before. I think she was added by the Elmans, who introduced Scotty and David Hamillton, Lamont and Katie Corbin and Alan Quartemaine, all characters Marland worked with and developed. The Ellmans were only around for 6 weeks or so but introduced some major characters. Unlike other writers who come in and have mass cast changes, Marland worked with what was there.

      I am not a big Anna/Duke fan, but that was an awful return.   IB/FH certainly are better together than Anna/Valentin though. I could care less about the tango.  I don't know why some actors are doing multiple performances anyhow lol.  I certainly don't need the Chase variety show hour. IIRC, Jonathon Jackson can sing just as well as JS or Bradford, but I guess Lucky and head nurse Liz aren't cool enough to get an invite.

      Rebecca Hollen's last airdate seems to fall between July 4th, 1985 and July 15th. Reva tells Trish she's in love with Kyle and leaving HB on July 4th. The Lewises (minus Trish) go to Cross Creek to celebrate Billy's birthday (this year, other years it's in March) to "accept" Kyle as a Lewis the week of the 15th.

      I've said this before, but I strongly suspect Carlivati would've just... brought Duke back again if he'd stayed at the show long enough. They really fúcked up Duke's return leaving him moribund and pathetic after he returned, whereas Ian Buchanan IRL is anything but. I have no real interest in another return for him but honestly Zombie Duke Round 2, with a little life in him again, could not be worse than most of Anna's dreadful pairings since, and given Tristan and Robert are clearly not an option. But I do think she should have a new, better man.

      Am I wrong or was Gail (and putting her with Lee) a Marland addition?

      I loathed Duke and especially loathed Anna being with Duke.   I hated that the tango was one of their things.    I don't care about Chase one way or another.   I would have enjoyed finally Finola dancing as Anna without Duke.  But it wasn't that important to me.
