Good show today apart from Tate and Holly's borefest resuming. Loved Sophia sticking up for herself and dumping him. She is such a great character and I love her self respect. She is far too good for Tate though, and now I worry they will go the obvious route and either make her evil or pregnant or both. I prefer Aaron to Tate too, and I honestly would like to see him and Sophia make a go of it, as the two people used and discarded by Saints Tate and Holly. Maybe Aaron will pretend to be her baby daddy. Cool to see Sarah and Kayla figure out how to administer the serum as I was wondering about the logistics of that myself. And thankfully, Xander voiced what people have been complaining about, that it is Sarah's choice, and that he will love her regardless of whether she walks again or not. I felt like I finally recognized him again today, after months of being set in Vengeance Mode. I will excuse the last 3 months as him being under huge trauma and not having the maturity to handle it. Just no more murdering relatives please Xander. Brady and Ava need to find things to talk about other than his teen son's sex life, but I really like their vibe, and she is by far the superior choice to Krazy Kristen. I worry though that he is essentially ruined for any woman he comes near, because the tag team of Rachel and Kristen will make sure that the chosen one is bullied out of his life (see: Chloe). I think Ava is strong enough to stand up to them though. Fingers crossed. What was that 5 second Paulina scene? Guess that counts towards her episode count this week lol So enjoyed EJ niggling at Kristen and his joy as she realized she did in fact give away her advantage for nothing. She should have demanded Brady marry her first so she had something written in stone, not that it would matter, he made it clear he only cares really about Rachel, and he knows Kristen is bad news. EJ and Kristen are great together though, the actors really have good rapport. Same as when she is Susan. I miss Susan.

Whackload of B&S BS stuff next week. This is what Ron thought we wanted for November sweeps No dates yet: Johnny keeps struggling with the secret he is keeping from Chanel. Javi stands up to Gabi regarding his relationship with Leo. Johnny starts to think he is not worthy of Chanel. Philip and Stephanie share an awkward reunion.

JJ confides in Gabi Leo accuses Javi of betraying him Thursday November 21 2024 Sarah tries to walk Ava gives Brady a piece of her mind Friday November 22 2024 Joy confides in Alex about her history with Johnny Sarah remains determined to walk

I think Xander will calm down once Sarah has the cure. He is just a mess of guilt and anger because he blames himself for letting his mother into their lives. I for one am tired of people thinking they know better than Victor what he wanted for Titan. When he was alive he was very clear to Xander he was the best choice. And his will, despite Kate's insistence, made reference to a trust to pay Philip's medical bills, so Victor outed him as alive but didn't want him anywhere near his company. Of course Xander was ready to trade it for a vial of pee so....

The promo had Brady saying his father is missing

I'm going to have a hard time watching this, as we all are. Drake started on the show the same year I started watching, he has always been part of the show for me.

I'm with you. I really liked the Greene sibs today, especially the clarification that Aaron knows his sister and that she was the accident. Chad is an idiot Gabi is completely unself aware Rafe is sooo boring Still like Ivan and Vivian but that might just be nostalgia

Yes Viv was on again.

I will go edit them in just for you

He wouldn't be in Julie's orbit though. I'm guessing a grandson to Dougie or Scotty

Oh I'm seeing them. I just wanted to share my ultimately decent experience while it's still in my head. We got a bag of free days swag and I have personalized head shots from all the actors I met. James apologized for his shaky signature which was kind of heartbreaking. They needed to police the line cutters and maybe set a limit to admissions, but all in all I was able to enjoy the day.

On the plane home after my whirlwind trip to Los Angeles. I had a mostly positive experience. I arrived at the theatre just after 6am and instantly saw Cardboard Li in the foyer. I was thrilled that he was set up as a photo op. More on him later. Around 9:45 Brandon Barash (Stefan) came by to say hello. We were let in right around 10am. System was four tables and you lined in rows in the auditorium. I went right to Line 2 and as we were first there was no waiting. I met Paul Telfer (Xander) and Linsey Godfrey (Sarah) and they were kind enough to sign a photo I brought and pose for photos. I got to put my arm around Paul so that happened. Next up were Josh Taylor (Roman) and James Reynolds (Abe). I found speaking to them surprisingly moving, maybe because they are the age of my dad. Sal Strowers (Lani), Elia Cantu (Jada) and Tina Huang (Melinda) were all fabulous. Very happy to chat and really warm and friendly. Galen Gering (Rafe) was a bit more reserved. Tina agrees with me that Melinda and EJ need to hook up. Went to group 4 line as it was the shortest. All the newbies. Cherie Jimenez (Gabi) was divine. I told her how much I enjoy her as Gabi and it seemed to mean a lot to her. Next to her was Al Calderon (Javi) who was also super, thrilled to be a part of it all especially after airing in only one episode. Colton Little (Andrew) was another really fun one to talk to. He remembered me chatting to him on Twitter about Charlotte Ross (ex Eve) and told me to tag him again. Casey Moss (JJ) was much quieter and didn't get much from him. Kennedy Garcia (Felicity) was very shy and I think a bit overwhelmed. Raven Bowens (Chanel) and Ashley Puzemis (Holly) were much more chatty and looked amazing. Leo Howard (Tate) was really engaging too, very likable and interested in my insane one day trek from Eastern Canada. After that we broke for lunch and the Day players performed as we sat in the next line. On a bathroom break I ran into Julie Dove (ex Connie) hanging out with Cardboard Li, so that was a photo I had to have. I think she was just there as a fan. She was pleased to hear how much I enjoyed the Li stuff. Then the disorganization kicked in. We waited almost 3 hours for group 3. People were on stage and cutting into lines for other groups without waiting their turns. They extended the signing and we lucked out, we thought, as our line was called right before the final cut off. Then we were told we were going to group 4 again. Not happy. Most of the line just gave up and left but four of us stuck around hoping for a change of heart by security. I pointed out as it was only 4 of us that we should be able to join the line we'd waited 3 hours for and they relented. We were frog marched by security on stage (where were they when people were line hopping?). Jackee Harry (Paulina) had left by then and Brandon Barash (Stefan) had to go rehearse but the rest were still being gracious and kind to the fans. Dan Feuerriegel (EJ) introduced himself with "Hello I'm Daniel" lol. I told him I'm a long time viewer since his Spartacus days. John Paul Lavoisuer (Philip) was next and he was happy to hear I enjoy his odd take on Philip. He said he's all about entertaining and he will take any reaction as long as he gets one. Lamon Archey (Eli) seemed worn out and didn't say much. Abigail Klein (Stephanie) was super pumped and her husband is from Montreal, where my car currently is. I hope I can find it. Then Stephen Nichols (Steve) and Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie). This is why I fought to stay in this line. I told him how much Steve and Kayla have meant to me and that he got me into this 40 year addiction. Susan was absolutely beautiful up close. All I could do was thank her for being such a treasure. Last up was Billy Flynn (Chad). I told him he must be exhausted and he was, but still made me do a selfie with him. I'm sure the Q&A and promo are posted so won't cover those. Funny to see Emily O'Brien (Gwen) toss that hated wig. Very excited to see what's coming up. No complaints about anything in the preview! All in all a successful day. Yes it could have been better organized but for a free event it was great. I didn't even attempt table 1 because the Deidre Hall (Marlena) draw meant everyone surged there, but when I was leaving I saw Brandon Beemer (Shawn) and Rob Wilson (Alex) leaving Starbucks. That's a wrap. Going to sleep very well tonight!

Ron tried and failed to tank the show
