Well they do sometimes bring in actors who failed to land plumb roles and instead give them smaller contract parts. Maybe he was up for playing someone else at some point.

I liked the nurse as a character, the sad humanity of her...but this kinda comic booky treatment, with the hiding behind a trenchcoat and the papers being crossed out is really cheesy. Ron loves his stunts. ...but seriously? The woman was obsessed with this soap and worked at the hospital, and now you morons are shooting the show there and you aren't even considering that she might be involved in the attacks? 🙄

Oh Kayla. No.

So. For Arnold to get away with EJ's plans, he needs to get through wedding planning with Jada and Gabi and Steph and Javi without arousing suspicion, marry Jada (and please not SA her!), set her up to look incompetent, help EJ get her fired, get himself rehired as commissioner by Paulina and then hope Paulina rehires EJ? And then...get out of Rafe's life without him or anyone else knowing he was there at all? ...what?! I thought the Sloan baby switch was pointless and dumb. If EJ wants to be DA again....why not just kill Jada via some thug and then step in? The only remotely interesting part of this is the possibility that Jada legit believes that Rafe was bitter about her taking his position all along. That's it. And that's kinda sad. Jada seems waaaaay too smart to fall for a fake Rafe. I fully believe she could spot her boring-ass boyfriend from a mile away. Also: she does know he was already boinked and forgotten by Kate, Sami, Hope and Nicole, right? That should be a red flag.

Judi looked horrible in that bed :( Makeup department really delivered. I could hardly look at her. Made me so sad, especially after that hospitalization she went through irl a few years ago. I should be excited about a hostile takeover/revenge story, but history tells me it'll amount to a bunch of scenes about vaguely defined work stuff and lots of cheap shots and huffing and puffing in living rooms. Oh, and the obligatory "stocks are up/down 8%!" proclamations. Kristen should be woefully incapable of standing up to at least Philip, who, unlike her, has years of corporate experience. But this will still somehow be a long, vague fight. I mean, what does DiMera traffic in, anyway? Rubber face masks? Island timeshares? I suppose. But what's the plan here? Killing Rafe? How else to get away with this? Arnold obviously cannot pull off this pretense long-term or convincingly fake being a police commissioner. And I really don't buy that EJ wants to be DA again so desperately. I see him wanting to be CEO.

I *hated* that. After what he did to him? Nope. They'd have needed crazy chemistry to get away with that, which didn't see. I don't remember minding Leo with....the guy who left? Mr Von L? They were okay but he was also way out of Leo's league. He's really never had chemistry with anyone. So...I guess Jada will be marrying an imposter? Lame. Although, Arnold does seem slightly more lively than Rafe. I missed Bonnie's fall. Is this being done to reveal her as Adrienne, ya think? I can't figure the purpose of this. She's on so little now...

He does get though his dialogue well, I'll give him that. He just can't make it funny. As previously stated, it's too cartoony and forced. Kate really needs to be on the show more.

I speak for everyone! I am your representative!! Kerry's motivation makes no sense, because a gay man in that kind of shape could have his pick of anyone and would not care at all about Leo, much less waste time getting revenge on him for being too weepy to get it on, when he could just go get laid with other, younger, less dramatic guys instead!!! This is all being done to make Leo appear desirable, which he is not!!!! I have spoken!!!!! 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

Dear Kerry: we're with you.

A medical emergency reveal would have been pretty cliche too, but I hear you. In hindsight, I actually really like that Jada got pregnant by a guy who was too complicated to be tied to, and got an abortion. That's what they're for. How rarely do we see something like that on his show? Plus she's better with Rafe, for whatever reason.

I hadn't realized they did a zoom call with fans and took questions. Huh. Was it faint praise or outright disappointment? I wonder what caused them to be less than thrilled? And did anyone ask if Emily's Therea/Gwen is finally over with?

I haven't really felt excited about this production of Gypsy because the phenomenal cast in the LuPone production honestly seems like it couldn't be bettered. I get that its a great show but...I'm struggling to picture anyone but Patti in the role, if that makes sense. Was the Ragtime revival from last fall good? Is there any news on it coming to Broadway or not? I heard it might. Also, is the Tina Turner musical any good? It's on tour....but if it's cliche and lame, I'll skip it.

They really didn't explore that angle and I wish they had. They clearly tried to distance Eileen's John Era Kristen from the current version, whom they've kept fixated on Brady.

I guess I had jokes coming to mind when I wrote that post because....everything is just so bad right now. I feel like everything is bad for so many people (and getting worse) and I hate that feeling.

Will it help at all for me to double-down on the grating uselessness of Leo, Paulina and Alex? Cuz I can! For real though, vent here if you need to.
