I liked that when Chase tried to chide him over acting like a Quartermaine, Gio briefly paused and then proudly accepted that mantle.

I loved that moment.

As much as I miss cool, calculating Anna, those scenes were great with Felicia, Mac, and Emma. I get that she has been drugged and manipulated. I just want her to come out of this stronger again.

Several times in the last 10 days or so I have thought that I missed something. The show is just so disjointed. Anna escaping wasn’t shown. Britt being rescued or having sex with Jason wasn’t shown.

I cannot wait for Chase to learn the truth. And Willow/Drew continue to entertain.

I am so tired of her being weak, dependent on Jason/Sonny, crying and struggling for months or years over Valentin or Charlolte or whatever else. I am tired of Finola leaping into this stuff just to show her range.

They've all done wonderful work, particularly BB and Finola with Kristina. That bond between them is still so strong after all these decades, and the show has been wise to lean into it with them in recent years as well as with JJY and previously Jon Lindstrom before he decamped to BTG. But I am ready for Anna to be strong, in charge and imperious again. And with a man worthy of her. I just dunno if it'll ever happen.

The offscreen rescue of Anna I was expecting given the drop-in taping of her imprisonment and the goofy cliffhanger they left it on with the fake Faison approaching her in the dark. They've done that shít a lot with that kind of block-taped stuff in recent times. But everything with Jason and Britt during the storm has been a debacle. Again, I suspect pulling back on the physical intimacy again will seal her fate. What else is there with them?

All that being said: Yesterday's ending with Emma being dragged out screaming and sobbing by Mac and Felicia proves they should be playing BB five days a week. If Frank still can't see that over Eden he's certifiable. She's the young Brenda here (provided they don't clean her up too much).

That block filming.

Kismet moment of the day: Ric looking at Molly rambling on about her idiotic book tiff with Cody and thinking about how his marital problems at her age were locking women in secret birthing dungeons behind the TV.

Delicious ending today! I can't wait for tomorrow. I couldn't help but LOL at Drew in the wheelchair with his head bound like that.

Solo scenes between Jordan and DA Sidwell's Wife are not advisable, breakdown writers. Another suicide gut check for the daily viewer.

I agree! I already liked her and now it has just gone up a huge notch. I think part of why I like her so much is that she has an ease with the vets that makes it feel like she has been Emma way longer. Kimberly McCullough had that ease too but it was well earned because she literally grew up with them. It’s there with Finola, Kristina, and noticeably with Jane as well.

Yes, but this is one of those times where it is really noticeable.

I don’t even dislike this Jordan that much. But she needs scenes with real players.

Oh, trust. You are not alone and I pointed that out when I posted this morning.

Almost a week to get back to Anna after that great cliffhanger on a Tuesday? Tracy interrupting Jason/Britt about to have sex last month...off-screen and mentioned the next episode? Jason/Britt and him saving her. Off-screen again. It has been very disjointed. And it's VERY noticeable.

I literally had to sit and think...'did I miss any episode?' for once.

I suspect they have begun to internalize the relentless online mockery of BLQ's wardrobe. She's been in two or three open-necked tops in the last few eps that are considerably more stylish and loose than her usual North Korean/widow's weeds couture. It's an improvement at least.

Thank God!

Amanda Setton loosens up her wardrobe...as Steve Burton clamps down once again on love scenes. Supreme being giveth, and supreme being taketh away.

Yeah, I miss the '80's, too. ;)

Well it's not the first time this show has trolled the audience.

Where are Liz's kids again?

Yep. Pretty much.
