-- The worse AA gets, the more they give Tomas to do. This stuff is excruciating, and they have him meeting with everyone except Kat. What the actual hell.

-- I'm glad the Anita cancer storyline is wrapping. I think we can all move on now.

-- All of a sudden, Hayley despises having sex with Bill. Meanwhile, the "poisoning" takes breaks of weeks at a time.

-- Dani should just release Andre from this nightmare. She's moving in the most disgusting way. Let her go back to Bill so he can humiliate her again. I've really had it with her.

-- Today's show was one big meh.

I think/hope they are using this stuff to usher Tomas out. But we'll see.

The Hayley story should've wrapped months ago. It's idiotic it's gone on this long and it seems clear to me they were spinning their wheels for quite awhile trying to figure out what to do with MG long-term. If the Kyle Abbott thing pans out that's great and a potential avenue for Hayley (if the actor appears or regularly crosses over), but it's not an excuse to keep this going for what is now approaching a year. It's been deeply boring since the new year at least.

I actually love how Bill is largely unrepentant about the elevator sex. It suits his character and we don't see that attitude often enough in daytime anymore. He knows his rebound marriage is the pits and he thinks differently from most of the saints on canvas. Sure, he's an asshóle but it's a coherent character. These people behaving badly just doesn't faze me.

I agree with you about Bill. Note that I complain about Dani and not about Bill. He's coherent and consistent and content with who he is, while Dani is a hurricane inside of a tornado, changing her mind every day and ignoring the collateral damage.

This show can actually use more "people behaving badly."

I just don't think Dani is that awful. It's typical soap opera heroine behavior. She adores Andre but wants Bill and can't stay away from him or that situation, whether she admits it in full to herself or not. I see a woman struggling with herself and making poor choices.

Is she digging her own grave? Sure. Is the character much more tolerable than she was this time last year when her character arc was largely revolving around breaking into Bill's house and collapsing on her kitchen floor after binge drinking for the third week in a row? I think so.

I would prefer if the show focused more on the damage Dani inflicted on both of her daughters as a result of her selfishness and stunted emotional maturity level. Andre is too good for her and he hope he dumps her pathetic ass.. but then we'll be subjected to her crying and acting psycho again. If every a character needed a punch to the fact.. that character would be Dani.

I usually don’t mind the fashion, but I thought that dress Dani wore was hideous today as well as those distracting big ass earrings she had on.

That's refreshing for this show. They get very skittish about their characters doing bad things. Witness Naomi invoking June's (offscreen) friends for her explanation of why it's ok for Ashley to forgive whathisface.

Dani is regretful about what she did, but she had no problem mocking Hayley about being better.

Ted just doesn't have enough ire towards Tomas. The man played both his daughters against each other so Ted should be expressing dislike. Ted is written a bit too mellow at times.

Naomi being confused that Nicole was fantasizing about Bill was hilarious. That scene gave Naomi some more personality.
