I found the ATWT reference to be cleverly done and I enjoyed it. I thought this was another great episode. I'm starting to love Jacob and Naomi as the grounded good guys. June has brought the best out of both of them and both of them have made Derek more bearable.

It's convoluted but the CBS soaps that were still on the air in the 2000s are all in the same universe because of Sheila Carter appearing on Another World as an alias named Shelly Clark who hated some unnamed characters that matched Eric and to Stephanie's description. In the 60s Mike Bauer from Guiding Light crossed over to Another World which linked their universes. Cass also appeared on Guiding Light. Now if the Sheila Carter connection is counted as just parody and not a crossover there is still a connection due to Emily Stewart appearing on Y&R looking for Alison.

-- Maurice Johnson was fine as Ted, but Keith D. Robinson is also good in the role. They're different but both are solid actors. I'm already "over" Johnson being replaced, and I don't think this is worth a lot of discussion over....nor do I think the internet is going to discuss this for much longer.

-- I also had no problem with Ted's blazer.

-- The Derek and Jacob scenes were good. I'm getting more clues that Ashley is the problem in this story. And I'm sorry, Derek isn't the only one who should apologize for what happened.

-- In other news, Ashley is still Basic.

-- I'm still out on the Anita story. Why have Anita and Tracy bonded again? We should have heard at least something of what happened in the past to cause the break up of the group.

    Instead we're told nothing so that we can wonder what "horrible" things happened to the group's 3rd member who has such an Anita problem. If this is just going to be a retelling of Diana Ross getting with Berry Gordy, becoming the star of the Supremes, and then striking out on her own, I don't want to hear it.

     Besides, wasn't Miss Ross THE star of the group? Wasn't she THE money? Berry Gordy was right all along.

     In addition, I'm looking side-eyed at Anita having all these regrets. She doesn't seem to be the type. She's a DUPREE!

I’m actually enjoying Anita having a storyline that doesn’t revolve around her reminding us she’s a Dupree.

Also I don’t see the issue with continuing to discuss a recast that just debuted last week and is entirely different from the previous actor.

Yes, today was a return to form as far as entertaining episodes. I didn't have a standout but enjoyed Mona, cause I didn't believe we would see this much of her for some reason.

Love the thought of Nicole and Naomi being in each other orbits more. 

They have been wonderful, I agree. 

Stop! Lol! I think Teresa is becoming my favorite writer on the show.

There are still complaints about how Amelia Heinle plays Victoria Newman here and there and it's been 20 years since the recast, so a week is nothing when it comes to complaining.

That jacket was embarrassingly small. It's not the actor's fault, but wardrobe for putting it on him. A wealthy doctor would not walk around like that so production really whiffed on that one.

Jibre/Jacob is moving to the top of my list. Such a likeable presence.

Give Jacob/Naomi a home set!

Ted's jacket ...

Stating that Derek/Ashley have been together 2 years kinda undermines the story.

If it had been say 6 months, then problems might be arising-but after 2 years??

The ATWT reference was cute-but of course Dr Nicole only knew about the show through patients-God forbid she ever watched it herself!

Might have been cuter had she said she got hooked through patients and ended up taping it herself and watching it at home to unwind.

      Thanks! I know the Infinity story takes the heat for the lackluster of 1985, but the Charlotte Wheaton story isn't any better. Other than proving Barbara Garrick has a talent for playing mean spirited kooks. Watching Richard VanVleet is like watching paint dry.

      They aren't all bio, but I remember DD saying he treats them as if they were. He seems like a good man.

      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.
