I thought it might be the actors saying things in a strange way, but I don't think that's it.

Maybe.

I sometimes wonder if they're allowed to ad lib during taping, or if the scripts are followed verbatim

I really hope it's not the former. Even if the dialogue doesn't always make sense, the script writers still work very hard on those scripts under the most impossible circumstances. Allowing the actors to ad lib would be insulting.

It's not exactly the dialogue being wrong it's more the phrasing being confusing. Like Gabi saying I have known Theo since high school. So it becomes vague like you've known Theo since he was in high school or you went to high school with him? Or when Cat said Aaron was out of town which I think implied while Sophia was pregnant? It's almost like they don't finish entire thoughts on screen.

Today was a weird one.

I can't really explain it. All the elements of a classic soap reveal and fallout were there, but it just felt weird, and handled in a very strange way. It also seemed a little too rushed. The writers, producers, etc. really should've taken more time with this. Gabi, Kristen and even Chad chiming in with random comments wasn't necessary either.

But I did think that there was some good acting today, particularly James Reynolds. He really did sell it, and I am interested in seeing what's going to happen as a result of all this. I'll never be a fan of Lexie being brought back to life, but it could lead to a lot of good things happening for every character involved in this storyline

And I actually did enjoy Gabi/Tony too. Days just really needs to kick her storyline into high gear and have the truth finally come out. It could also be really interesting if that got further tied to Theo, and everything going on with him as well.

I still don't care about Kristen or Leo though. Just kill them both off.
