Now that all my episodes are on my system...rme...the rewatch!!!
What is standing out for me is the stories. And there are so many going on in this episode alone and I'm not bored with any of them. What is surprising me is the fact that a whole B story has my attention more than the A story. And by B story I mean Joey vs Silk Press Sheila.
I said this when I was able to watch, but I liked that SilkPress is not only off in this new direction (and I like her with Marcel), but that it is restoring her menace...which has been dormant since the writers prefer to write SPS as a cartoon. Good to know that someone over there is remembering that SPS is also supposed to be DANGEROUS. After all, she almost killed a girl twice and was running around town in different wigs just to get the payback. And for all her looniness...Joey not bowing down to her is really getting her slowly bringing that dangerous side of her out. If I am not going to get layers in an organic way (which debatably they have been doing the last few weeks), I will take her dangerous in a Sami Brady way. Old School Sami Brady would be put in a corner and get comeuppances and always had a trump card. So the mystery of the flashdrive that Joey is blackmailing her with has me tingling with what will happen next. What is on it? Proof of her in Laura's accident? Proof of her at the hospital? Proof she switched test results? My curiosity is piqued. I also want to know SPS's next move. Down, not out indeed. Bonus...LOVE her second scene with Kristen Dimera...I mean Hayley. I want more.
Speaking of the A story...well...be careful what I wish for. Dani/Bill/Hayley was the main story last year. And that successfully morphed into Bill/Dani/Andre. But I felt that was mostly in the background for some time. Now that it is slowly coming back to the forefront like I wanted it...I actually am not liking the writing. We got to see Dani grow. And now I feel like she is regressing and Andre is being unusually insecure. I do love how pressed Bill is being. And the same for Kristen Dimera...I mean Hayley. lol. I am still invested, but I hope it plays differently.
Also more of what I want...Nicole's storyline!!! I've been enjoying having her POV at last. Not always perfect, but at least I no longer feel she is just in the background or the background of other people's stories. And HAHAHAHAHHAAH at the comedy of errors of Kial returning and already meeting Carlton and having to work together. And THEN...Nicole revealing that she's connected to both of them (with Shanice in the background being that Nosy Nurse we know she can be). Now that all the players are back on screen...let the games begin...
And I like the C stories on display. Naomi hiding she has the gene has me curious. I am a fan of Jacob/Naomi and the good guys couples but they do need to be challenged as a couple. So far, they got half-hearted attempts. Things have been changing. So I want to see where this Naomi storyline goes.
I was worried that Chelesa not having the gene might mean no more story for her. But her dealing with the dealer friend and Madison having issues with her doing pills tells me we might be getting a story with them after all. Good. Like I just said, time to have the couples get tested. Especially since they did the potentially good Madison's Mama story off-screen.
And yes to the mentioning of Vanessa starting to come across as the cunning woman she was right up until Doug's death aka Guza version of Vanessa. And this new story about blowback from the escort service could be intriguing. Good that Vanessa trusted Nicole enough to tell her. And I do worry about her when SPS decides to use her for some payback on Joey.
Oh and I look forward to seeing Jacob and Naomi's living room more than once. Yes, redressing a set DOES work. ;)
