And Susan and Emily drinking orange juice...ROTFLMAO! I don't know what it is, but I love those two women to death. Neither one can do wrong in my eyes and they are just a joy to watch. Susan should wear a shirt that says "enabler" on it, because that's all she is.

I love the Stewart's, even if Emily is occasioanlly off her rocker. It helps that I despise everything related to Paul/Meg/Dusty/(Jennifer), so it made rooting for Emily even easier than usual! Go get 'em girl!

Now I just need my Allison to return por favor, as played by the beautiful and talented Jessica Dunphy of course!

I'm sure that Paul and Emily will turn into a poor excuse of a redux of James and Barbara where they're just going to fight each other (and even try to kill one another) to get custody.

I can already see Paul gaslighting Emily and telling the child that his mother is awful and try to turn it against her. I mean, he's already said that he's going to make sure that the baby never knows about Emily. That's just really low. I mean, no matter how bad Emily is, she's still the baby's mother.

I was kinda glad Lucy figured it out about Damian, but I wanted them as a romantic couple. I know they’re going to go for Lusty (which I’ve always hated), but I had hoped she hook up with Damian. BTW, I’m liking her A LOT more as time progresses. She’s cute and different. I’ve also fallen in love with Damian! The Snyders rock my world.

OMG, me, too! I also think they're going for Lusty but oddly enough, they haven't really had that many scenes together since Lucy came back. I've always thought Lusty was overhyped and now Dusty is getting on my last nerves. I know a lot of people hate the idea of Lucy & Damian but I love badass Damian...while I hate how they're totally villifying him, I rather have him as a villain than as this one-note good guy. At least Lucy can see through his crap and not take any BS from him.

I love the Stewarts as well and always imagine how their family dynamic would be so much better with Alison around. Alison went from being a trouble child to being a mature, young woman who never lost her spunk. I don't think Jessica Dunphy has really had any work since leaving the show (which just baffles me because I think she's so talented) so I think now would be a great time to get her back.

As for the current state of the show...ehh, I don't know. It's not horrible but some characters I just do not care about. I don't get why just because Martha Byrne's pregnant, they have to make Lily pregnant again. Luke's story is dragging but I guess that's realistic enough. Matie are boring as always and while I loved Simon & Katie way back when...I think it's time Simon start getting involved with other people (he's starting to now and I'm finding it so much more enjoyable to watch), Carly & Jack have always been boring and too overdramatic..I hope they stay apart for a long time, Paul's an idiot and I'm glad Meg can call him on it, Dusty can jump off a cliff, and while I wanna feel sorry for Maddie..I just cannot. The story came out of nowhere...it is so obvious that this story wasn't planned when the character first came into the canvas..that they just decided they needed to write a backstory for her now. I get that feelings can be suppressed but come on! If Maddie ran away from Chicago to Oakdale, there should have been some hint that she had problems. Instead, she came to town as this happy-go-lucky adventurous girl. Alex Chando is doing an okay job with what she's being given but whole thing is just so sudden and unrealistic. I find it so whacked how Maddie went from being the most stable one to going all crazy and Will-like stabbing Leah's car.
