It is rather disappointing that the big bad is apparently this WSB dayplayer who also seems to be impersonating Faison with Anna. If they couldn't have come up with a big bad that has a history with the show, they could at least have tried to cast a stronger actor, someone much more dynamic, creepy and weird, like Faison during his original run.

He's dreadful. But a lot of the elements of this story are random and tedious. If they're hoping for Evil Nathan to shore up the menace Ryan Paevey will need to have had a Brando-esque turnaround as an actor in the last 7 years.

There's no way the WSB guy is the "big bad." I think it's obvious who the "big bad" is and that person was on today's episode. There was also a big clue is yesterday's episode.

I enjoyed the snow storm because we got some good scenes with Tracy/Martin, Cody/Molly, Trina/Portia, but I especially liked the Lulu/Nathan scenes. I though they were cute with the drinking game, and then the kiss, and then talking about their feelings for each other. I'm all for this forbidden romance which should climax with Maxie walking in on them together.

Okay so Alexis and Valentin are first cousins, and Sam and Charlotte are second cousins. That makes Danny and Charlotte "second-cousins-once-removed".

I understand how it works. Danny & Charlotte are 4th cousins or 3rd cousins once removed. Not 2nd cousins once removed.

If that's where Danny and Charlotte stand, I'm perfectly ok with a relationship.

I'll say this much...the things they do to not write for Jake.

Cuz I didn't mind Jake with Charlotte.
