I loved the scene between Carly and Ava, especially Ava's threats to end Carly for messing with her. They were both highly entertaining in that scene. Not however as much as Morgan entertained me for his smackdowns on dear old dad. How I wish Stumpy had revealed Ava's trigger-happy ways only to hear Morgan tell him that he deserved to get shackled to Connie's murderer/Olivia's shooter as his just reward for continuously fumbling at his belt buckle.

It would have been best if she'd said something that would open the door for Silas to spit out the truth to Nina when they had some privacy, like Silas has been a very good friend to me, we spend a lot of time together etc. If it was a straightforward situation, which of course it's not, then there is simply no way for Sam to speak the truth at that time and place without being a terrible person, in my estimation even if was being shown as obvious that Nina is a Psycho Bitch From Hell, (beyond being portrayed by Michelle Stafford) Sam would still be on the wrong side of things if that was her reaction. Even if Nina were a sweet, frail paragon of virtues who is utterly clueless about Sam's attachment to Silas, she still needs to know sooner rather than later about his life in her absence. Really though, showing up at a birthday party for the child of strangers to spring a back-from-the-dead surprise(!) pretty well screams nutbar I laughed when Nina said that line about how Silas did not need to worry about rolling in over in the bed and crushing her, because I'm pretty certain Silas' wizened self worries that all the wimmins are going to do that to him. If she wasn't wheeling around, I think Nina would have just flipped bashful Silas over her shoulder and tossed him on the bed.

Sadly I think you are right. Even a wooden rookie shows more believable emotional response and discernible facial expressions than a certain vet whose work has devolved into nothing beyond the disinterested recitation of lines.. Ryan Paevey's acting is also improving, unlike Measton, who has been consistently horrible since they created the character of Silas for him and he slid back into all the bad, lazy habits he had in his later years on OLTL.

Carrie Todd on Guiding Light was a delightful, warm and genuinely nice woman, well aside from having a spiteful alter, so yes, Jane definitely can successfully pull off entirely different characters. I don't think Michelle is absolutely awful, but she brings very specific qualities to her acting and is limited as a result. I think even if they did bring her on as a non "Psycho Bitch From Hell" type character, TPTB would go" fuck it!!!" after they'd heard her line-readings just from today alone and make her into another lunatic trouble-maker.

I'd be more inclined to suspect this if Levi didn't seem so disposable and determined to isolate her from everyone rather than worm his way into their graces. Lets hope neither Nathan or Maxie let it slip that Nathan mislead the court because Levi'll be narcing faster than he can beast a veggie burger.

I believe he's doing this because if she had a baby to care for, Maxie wouldn't be at his beck and call and she would put someone else's needs above his own. He barely knows Maxie, doesn't seem to like or respect her and discourages or otherwise interferes with her maintaining normal, healthy relationships with others, especially her own family. She is nothing to him other than an appendage and a convenience, he certainly won't accept a baby interfering with her availability to service and defer to him. I thought she was already full-blown bat-crap crazy. I also don't think they cast Michelle Stafford because they wanted to see what she'd do with a different sort of character than Phyllis. I half suspect she's been out of the coma longer than she's letting on and she's going to hop out of the wheelchair and do some running-man and twerking combo victory dance when she's alone. ETA Besides being Levi's woman, it is entirely possible that he has an agenda for Maxie that is even more opportunistic than what has already been shown.

Oh man, I just realized that ReRon is ReRonning (OLTL)Cole's Mentos addiction with doppelganger Rafe and a wee ziploc of sugar. I think we are in for a crap-load of UCG and probably also a fair bit of intentional comedy gold. This is going to be played for laughs and even the attempts to have serious moments will be risable.

Silas was so douchey and condescending that I would have changed my mind about telling him his pants were about to burst into flames if he did not move two steps to the side and walked away after grabbing any nearby water bottles. Nathan took his shushing with a lot more kindness towards Silas than his attitude deserved. He showed admirable restraint, though I think part of his calm demeanour owed much to RP's usual deadpan reactions. I'll take his minimalist facial expressions over bug-eyes and jazz-hands any time. One more thing, after Fuke's hit on Lucas, I really don't think any of the Jerome/Cassadines would be allowing a random stranger, especially one with with crazy eyes to sit down and bond with baby Danny.

So Gabriel is doomed, barring an answer to fervent, tearful prayers (tock!) and Rafe may wind up as OD cannon fodder to underline just how awful Julian and his drug-dealing ways really are. Actually if stalker-boy winds up dead in an alley, I hope Molly thanks Julian for the favour. Damn Nina and her crazy eyes.
