You all said that Anna had been turned into a tearful, whiny bad cop and yesterday I saw it far too clearly. Show is setting her up with JASON????? She's been reduced to emotional dumpster diving? How COULD they? Losing the respect of her fellow officers is the last thing she should be worried about.

There's nothing charming left about Victor, not that I've seen, in a long time. His family continue to show reverence towards this petulant, unpleasant, unkind man, mostly because his family fear his vindictiveness and even more likely, fear he'll turn off the money spigot. But none that excuses Michael putting up with the disrespect Victor shows him. He surely doesn't need the money but seems to need Victor treating him like crap. It's tedious to watch. I might be sitting at a table for one, but I really enjoyed the teasing Diane and Kyle put Jack through, along with his good-natured response to it. There was a lot of affection and lightness in those scenes which I much appreciated. As for Beyond the Gates, I haven't seen any commercials for it but I have been watching the pre-launch segments on the show, done, I think by Entertainment Tonight and available to watch on Paramount Plus. I like what I see so far. And I'd watch Tamara Tunie and Clifton Davis read their grocery lists! It sure looks like the network has put some money into the show. The segment I watched today said they have 27 different sets. I'm definitely going to give it a shot.

Tate and Rachel are brother and sister through Brady, so that would make Tate's child a nephew or niece to Rachel. Johnny's mother Sami and Tate's mother Theresa are first cousins since Sami's father Roman and Theresa's mother Kim are brother and sister. There's also Sami's stepbrother relationship to Brady. Now my head hurts.

I'm unclear on more than a few things, but this one is a headbanger. So both Sasha and Willow are determined not to let "the Quartermaines" run their lives and take their children. But what Quartermaines? Edward, Alan, AJ, Emily and various other Quartermaines are dead, so who do they mean, other than Traci? Surely not Monica, and I can't imagine Ned or Olivia care all that much, so who? So to get away from the evil, controlling Quartermaines, even though the guy that fathered their children is himself a Quartermaine, they run for protection to ..... Drew Quartermaine and his brother Jason?? Tis a puzzle. As is any writer thinking having the trials of poor Willow now involved a towed car. Quelle dommage!

I'm with Jack. Update, fine, I guess. At least get rid of those silly wizards holding glass orbs - Dungeons and Dragons decor, at best. And those wing chairs. But, my taste, I love the bookcase/armoire by the dining room entrance, the clutter of loved objects, some of the old pictures on the wall and generally the look and feel of the place. Ditto with the dining room. Those curtains gotta go and maybe lighten the color but don't get rid of the table and chairs. That look comes naturally to the Abbott home, unlike Victor's fake recreation of a home burned down and long gone. I remember the "redecoration" of the Chancellor Mansion after Kay died and Billy moved in. The outcry from the fans ended that pretty fast. But even so, the place ended up looking pretty cheap IMO. Hopefully Show will stick with Diane's taste in redecorating being as good as her own personal style is. Remember Tucker tried to give it to her but Audra declined. Then she got Victor to back her as her "silent" partner and he took it over. Then, he fired her and Kyle, stripped it down for parts and Jack bought those parts secretly for pennies on the dollar.

Classic case of Failure to Launch. It's the poor parents I feel most sorry for.

NinjaPenguins, you are ON FIRE today! I'm warming myself this cold winter's (NOT that knucklehead family) morning with the beauty of your prose and, of course, those journals dear Nick published in!!

I would think that the Newman Enterprises HR department is every bit as competent as that Newman crack (as in 'on it') Security team, so Claire probably gave them some 888 area code number to Jordan's phone and she did the verification. Higher education to the Newmans means auditing a few night classes at Baraboo Clown College and not even completing those. And yes, I DID get a glimpse at Nick's resume. He majored in Squirting corsage therapy and timing his farts to a flugelhorn. He ACED it, thankyouverymuch!

Doesn't Jens Sidwell - at least his Port Charles energy - remind anyone else of Barney? He's so ..... bubbly. I can totally see him singing an updated version of the Barney song. I hate you, You hate me, We're a muderous family. Seems to me that Noted Bigot Natalia really missed her chance.

I started to feel the exact same way about Allie during that storyline.

And a pan of ziti in the other.

Any woman who's ever been with Billy, Adam, and especially Nick already has "Fake" covered.

Perfect description! Although rather than RoboMar be the new Dr. Who, I want her to be Dr. WhatTheHell??

Expecially since they're such a devoutly religious family. And who wouldn't rejoice at knowing Sami would be the child's grandmother?

Finally - a sexay time Billy actually deserves.

Aww, just like Jason.

Waldo13, your mention of a construction worker with a jackhammer made this scene from "Garbo Talks" immediately come to mind. The marvelous, one-of-a-kind, never to be forgotten Anne Bancroft.

DisneyBoy, you are on FIRE today!!!

Yes yes yes. It's bad enough that she won't stop talking about it, especially to people who she knows won't buy it, but she delivers her "apologies" in such a way that even I want to smack her. And I generally LIKE Sharon. I'd also love it for Phyllis and her dinosaur egg spawn to get their g-damned coffee somewhere other than Sharon's place of business. And, the future Haudra and Lamien?

If desire follows example, then the only one I can think of who would appreciate all that would be William B. Abbott, the man who's usually the leader of the "Show Me, State".

Interwebbynet winner of the day!! "This guy is Mr. Bean" done killed me ####DEAD###!

I don't remember Amy saying she'd ever told Damien the truth about his real biological father. I thought she said Damien disappeared on her after she declined his request for a loan after she'd given him money numerous other times in the past. I'm pretty sure she's reiterated, a couple of times, that Damien didn't know the truth and her mission was to tell him that before she died.

I haven't heard one way or the other, but probably not. That guy can act, and it wouldn't be fair to put him up against so many of the current cast.

It's the empanadas. And those handy-dandy, easy peasy wooden menus that weigh 10 pounds each. Keeps people comin' back for more!

If only. But would we be able to tell the difference?
