From what I remember - I've been checking in and out - Lucas was finally declared a free man and left town after chatting with Kate. No clue where he is though.

They STILL haven't tied the knot? I thought they had years ago. They really weren't fun together on screen so it just goes to show...

I missed the last two days - were they important? I did happen to see Brady wearing a weird blue striped 90s sweater thing today. Half expected him to bust out a hacky sack and sing MmmBop! Kristen: Let. It. Go.

They didn't even show her leaving the hospital, either on the lam or in handcuffs. It's plain disrespectful. She's a veteran same as the regular cast and deserves to have her storylines wrapped up, thank you very much. I agree. Holly - appropriately, given her sudden age jump - still seems pretty immature, whereas Sophia is acting like a vampy college girl. I definitely see her and Tate as a better match now, at least maturity-wise. Holly seems much younger than them. I know he made the right choice for his education and all, but I really wish JMM had stayed for a full year. He had a great innocent, nice guy vibe and it wasn't a put-on.

Are they even keeping Philip around long enough to make an actual storyline out of it? No spoilers, but I assume he's just going to disappear in 5 episodes or something and is a temporary obstacle for Xarah. He really should be a regular again.

Except....um....wasn't she totally trying to kill him when Marlena busted in at the end of the Abenapping storyline? The whole window unit thing? Something like that? I am also bitter about that. Considering how expensive AS supposedly is, she and Lucas could have been married and living off-camera with him popping up now and again. Instead we have...this. Honestly Mike, JJ and Lucas have all been left dangling in the wind. Has Nancy mentioned if she's still dating Mike in her recent return? (hopefully not)

Whitley would make a ton of sense actually, since it was her torture of Abe that exposed him to Body & Soul in the first place. She was the one completely obsessed with the show and I could easily see her being triggered by her victim choosing to film it in the same hospital she worked at. ...it still wouldn't justify the way so many characters were twisted to participate in this willingly, but at least there'd be a decent ending? Maybe?

Very valid. The holiday "Death Tree" is already a bit grim, though not intended to be. Every wedding ends in shouting if not kidnapping, explosions and murder. Every baby is either a result of rape or infidelity, or born prematurely. This show hasn't done Happy well in quite some time.

Oh shit. Here we go. ☹ Edit: As crappy as it is to have his passing occur on Thanksgiving, I suppose from a production standpoint it makes some sense. With family visiting, is the show going to spend money having guest stars on Thanksgiving AND "back" for his funeral/memorial days later? Why not sandwhich both events, as they do with couple weddings? I'm not saying it's fun for us but...

I guess not if a love interest is conceived as a reward for a pet character..? *grooooaaaann* 🙄🙄🙄 The way I'm going to happily forget ALL OF THIS come the spring. So glad I'm skipping it. Practice self-care people!

Yup and yup! I hope she isn't about to be wrecked. I was thinking he should check into Bayview, because it's just one crazy older woman after another with him. Guy is a glutton for punishment. And it isn't entertaining anymore. I miss Eileen as Susan. She had a brain then. True...if she's doing anything on this show it should be popping up as Susan occasionally.

I keep hoping Will and Sonny will come back for a year. I guess I should stop.

True...and she hasn't spent 1 single minute feeling ashamed for attempting to murder Julie. It really was all lip service. But Casey looked ready to tear Dan apart and I loved it. Just cuz he's shorter doesn't mean he isn't a fighter.

I just had a weird flashback watching today's show: is this the second time Rafe has had his job taken away by the woman, he's with? I seem to recall Hope filling in for Rafe for some reason as Commissioner and then him getting better and not being able to take the position back from her or something? Though obviously he got it back since. I **LOVE** JJ for punching EJ in the face! Awesome! Wutta guy! 👏👏👏👏 💪 Seriously Casey is killing it. Fully committed. The rest is boring.
