I like that the car crash story has Jordan and Isaiah interacting again. I really liked the potential of them As a couple before the show shut it down super fast. I know the black quad isn’t liked on this board but I enjoy it.

This quad has a lot of potential, and it did give us some interesting scenes today with Jordan keeping up her brave face with Curtis but then lashing out at Portia and Isaiah. But Darn is right that Isaiah's role in all of this is spectularly poorly defined, as the writers have never bothered to give us scenes where we learn about his motivations. They really need to give him some "talk-to" characters, like Liz or Lucas asking him how he feels about Portia carrying Curtis's baby.

The only one in the quad I give a damn about is Portia. The rest are interchangeable wood and treated as such in story.

I would go as far as to say that Isaiah isn't ill-defined, he isn't defined at all lol. He's been on the show for, what, almost 2 years and I know about 4 things about him. He is a Dr., he was buddies with Lucky, he has a cabin, and he likes Portia. Am I missing anything? I do think Isaiah had potential, but at this point I wonder if it's too late. Poria, Jordan, Curtis, and Isaiah will just keep swapping partners forever. I almost understand DT's obsession for Curtis to be paired with Laura. At least it's something new for him to do.

I also have no idea why Portia is pregnant. Everyone in the quad is basically fine with it, so it's not even dramatic.

Did we mention that Jon Lindstrom is now on contract at BTG? Time for Kevin to 'die' for awhile.

I say kill him off to give a story boost for Laura, we can always bring Jon Lindstrom back as his brother Ryan.

Yeah it’s time to work on that too. Especially with BTG getting a two year pickup and MVJ’s open fondness of Jon. You know my wish. Mysterious and dashing man arrives with a WSB connection and Laura gets swept up in the story, slowly falling for the guy. Kevin is also falling for a fellow doctor in Paris. Neither one really breaks their vows, but end up admitting that it’s time for the marriage to end. You know, an adult storyline lol. I think I would like to see what Dan Gauthier could do with this, and with Genie.

Interesting choice of Dan Gauthier, I'd prefer Melrose Place's Doug Savant as Dr. Tom Hardy Sr.

Yeah, Ethan is definitely hiding something.

Once Dante learns the truth about Rocco, and realizes Lulu is lying to him, he's not going to be happy...

Overall slow day, but always nice seeing a shirtless Cody haha.

WSB?

Yep.

Truth, now how about throwing Michael and Chase in the mix?

Lord Baby Jesus! The hoops these writers are jumping through to keep Random WSB Guy breathing...

There were four chances he should've been killed off right there on the bed: Joss, Lucas, Britt and Rocco. But I think they may be saving him for Sidwell.

I think he has MORE chemistry with Lulu than any female on the show currently. I'd like to see that after she dumps fake Nathan...

When Fathan disappears Lulu should obviously be paired with Dante. It's one of the most obvious pairings to do.

Unless the show is for real about the Dante/Liz thing, but that hasn't had any movement so who knows?

I haven't been sold on any pairing for Dante with the current cast, when he was with Sam McCall, it made me claw my nails on the blackboard. IMO, Dante/Lulu is comfort pairing but I'm finding Alexa's version of Lulu with having great chemistry elsewhere and it's quite noticeable. There's something about Alexa...

Dante with Liz? NO!

For the twists. She’s pregnant! Who’s the daddy! Trina will find out her mom is having an affair! It’s her ex’s baby! Stalling on the DNA test! Was it tampered with? Oh no, Jordan is pregnant too?!? Maybe not! And on and on. It looks like a story but it really isn’t.

She will have a medical crisis about this pregnancy at some point too. I don’t know if this current team has the stomach for a dead baby this late in her pregnancy though, so I assume she will end up with a healthy baby.

I've liked Portia from the beginning and as I've stated before TPTB treat her like crap when everyone else gets away with everything. The least they can do is give her a healthy baby. Unfortunately, the father is Curtis. He has become someone I just can't root for.

I assume Isaiah is the daddy and Stella tampered with the results.
