-- I'm eternally amazed that Frank loves James Patrick Stuart so much but can't see that Valentin is written as a whiny stage 5 clinger.

-- Nice re-intro for Ethan today. No idea if they'll give the character decent writing, but Nathan Dean is a solid actor who has an easy chemistry with his screen partners.

-- Laugh Of The Day was definitely Carly chopping ingredients for that salad.

-- Not realistic at all to me that Lucas wouldn't press for the name of Carly's love interest. Just not believable.

-- Laura having the authority to approve a new flight path for Sidwell is hilarious.

Several pages back on this thread, there was discussion of TJ. Just wanted to add my input - yeah that was disrespect shown by the show simply ceasing to air him without a mention. At least Bobby Martin was said to be up in the attic looking for skis, and Don Craig went to mail a letter. Was there ever any mention of TJ when he exited? I am reading here that TJ was mentioned last week re: Jordan in the hospital. Where is TJ supposedly now?

I don't know TJ or his backstory, but they did mention this week that he's in Europe (or maybe they said overseas).

thanks!

I may be hard of hearing at this point but when Carly/Lucas were talking about Brennan and saying Jack I thought they were saying Jax for the first scene and I was like oh, we are talking about Jax now? Haha! It certainly wasn't the plot twist I thought it was.

I do think at first glance ND and Mansi probably have some chemistry and I'm open to it. It's just too bad Setton is in her Agnes of God era, because if she was the more free-spirited performer she was ten years ago BLQ would be be my first stop for Ethan. Play the temptation for the married BLQ with this outlaw before things implode for her perfect marriage with Willow and Chase.

It will be pretty funny if FV runs the same playbook with Kristina and both Luke's sons lol. Although of course Ethan and Kristina have history and I thought it was a pity they didn't pull the trigger 15+ years ago. The relationship with Lexi's very young Kristina* was about all ND had going for Ethan once JJ's Lucky returned; with the OG back he was a spare part. But I've always liked ND.

*(They also were IMO toying with Kristina and Drew Garrett's teen Michael back then, but while it was hypothetically viable then that's a whole other Wuthering Heights/Flowers in the Attic can of worms.)

I heard the same thing! I was working a puzzle and had to look up and think twice haha.

Ketamine Queen is a little too free and easy stepping to Big Willz, let alone self-righteous for someone who rode the crystal dragon with Ezra a minimum of 250 times. This crazy bitch just framed her mother, what precisely does Jacinda think she'd hesitate to do to her?

I've said it before but I'd have it turn into a Diana Taylor situation where Willow frames Michael for her death and makes it look like he's been killing or abusing his girlfriends since Stripper Angel Abby lol. But I wouldn't have Willow be the one to kill Jacinda, as that is a ticket off the show; like Heather BITD, she'd prep to do the deed but get beaten to it, either by someone else (Ezra) or an overdose.

Lexi and Drew Garrett had hella chemistry and the show went out of their way to say they never grew up together and weren't blood related, but I digress. Because that would have been a hot mess.

They way both Van and Laura said Jack so quickly I thought I was mis hearing something, but I am used to people calling him Brennan.

Yeah, I agree with all of the above. I was for it tbh, but it's not possible today.

Of course not. They changed the narrative on making them close, but there was definitely that weird time they went on the run to Sonny's island or something that had the vibes.. I assume Ethan is for Kristina at this point.

Just watched the most recent episode of Your Friends and Neighbors, the Jon Hamm series.

Daniel Cosgrove had a cameo at the end that lasted 5 seconds. At most.
