About an ep behind, I did feel sorry for Eva, until she started covering for her mother. I mean she's certainly involved now- helping to cover up the crime, which is also a crime I think. So in a way, Kat is right again- it's both Leslie and Eva, and neither can be trusted. My sympathy kind of evaporated.
I probably do have some bias- I walked away from my own mother, so yes it can be done. And I didn't have another parent to help me. And yes, it made my life better and healthier. But I dont have a lot of patience for people complaining about terrible relationships and then doing nothing ever about it.
The Dani / Pam kiss- it irritated me, mainly bc it just seemed like the show writers trying to be edgy or something.
I continue to really dislike Tomas.
Team Derek.
I want more Mona and Shanice, but maybe part of the appeal with them is the small doses.

I think NuTed may be a better actor, but they made a mistake casting someone so physically different imo. I'm having a hard time getting past it. And not just physically- his whole manner seems different than original Ted, at least to me.
I read the new Ted is the one they originally wanted, but he wasn't available right away. I have no idea if it's true, but if so they didnt plan it well.
Anyway Eva being Nicole's daughter could also help to explain why Leslie has no problem throwing her under the bus for attempted murder. I mean in addition to the crazy. Get her charged, and then drop the bomb she is Leslie's. Maybe Bill can defend her.
I find I ff about half of any given episode, but the other story I'm enjoying is Anita's, and I was really happy for her the one Articulette responded.

Wait... does Martin know what happened.? I admit, I am consuming these episodes in chunks, so I might have missed something. But I thought something suppressed the memory for him a
When the soap started, I thought he had no idea. But he obviously knows enough- he knows something happened, he knows Bill was involved in covering it up, and he knows it could affect his political career. So whether he knows all the details- you're right maybe not. But he knows enough to be making a decision to consciously hide it from the rest of his family.
Like I said, I know soaps are built on hiding things. It drives me bananas but probably partly bc IRL my anxiety would give me an instant ulcer and I would never sleep again if I tried to hide something like that lol.

I've only watched Mon and Tues, read everyone's comments.
1. If Martin actually gave a shit about his family he would tell his mother and partner what happened. I know soaps are built on people hiding things but it had always driven me bananas.
2. Very early on, I was rooting for Vanessa and Joey but that stopped fairly quickly. The reality is however charming he is to her, he wants to use her for criminal activity and probably aet it up so that if it goes south, all the evidence will point to her and Doug. Trying to sleep with her on top.of that is just gross.
Doug is a moron, but the red line for him should've been the second he saw Joey near his wife for any reason. He should have told Vanessa straight up at that point.
3. Kat is my favourite character- the style, the attitude, smarts, love it lol. Next to Hailey, Dani is least favourite.

Ehhhh season 3 ep 5. Starting to find this a harder slog. Not into the Carly California stuff, naybe partly bc Im spoiled.
Not into the Lizzie stuff, though it's more tolerable.
Taylor and the grandfather being pissy over the same woman is just yuck bc - yuck who would want to be with a woman who was with your grandfather? I just find it yucky.

I'm only partway through Friday's ep, but the whole scene with Nicole and her parents I kept thinking - how is she going to feel when she finds out Martin, Anita, and Vernon are all lying about whatever Martin did?
In the fight with Dani and Bill- Team Bill lol. Dani is A LOT. And he was dead right about looking to the ringleaders- her parents - for some of what he did.
Tomas is a moron and he can go now AFAIC.

I guess I'm in the minority but Dani irritated me. She's there for Nicole supposedly but a) makes it all about her and b) then tells Nicole Ted really loves her. Really made no space to just be there with Nicole and support her in the moment with whatever she was feeling. I mean it JUST happened. Give her a day before going in on what a saint Ted is.
However next to Haley, she's an angel. That woman just continues to hit new heights of awfulness.
Also- I hate baby storylines regardless of character, but show- I really don't need to hear all of Dani and Bill's cute talk about trying to conceive. It's nauseating lol.
Tomas basically says/does whatever the person in front of him wants him to.

am wondering... has Ted ever flat out admitted to sleeping with Leslie.
I think at some point somebody asked him to say it wasn't possible Eva was his daughter and he had to say yes it was possible.
Maybe Martin didn't run over someone drunk, maybe he was driving in a rage.

Yep that kid is Nicole's. My other prediction- Leslie is going to find out about Martin's secret. She noticed how Anita and Vernon reacted when he got angry. She's gonna be on that when the dust settles. It was noticeable.

They really need to have newTed's first line to Nicole be something like: I'm a different man now, baby, I promise! Heh.

I just finished the 2 eps. I was on the edge of my seat. They have done this story beautifully from the beginning.
Agree with everyone, clothes were amazing, I love the fashion on this show usually. Nothing I could ever wear, but just fun and colorful, then usually with some black/silver/gold contrast.
I knew at the end that wasn't actually Nicole talking to Leslie. She is crazy. Sad that she totally destroyed her daughter and doesn't give a shit. I hope Eva doesn't get pulled back into her bullshit. It can be hard to walk away from a parent though, even an awful one.
Only in a soap would Chelsea actually lwt that woman in. Youre telling me they don't have cameras or a way to see who is at the door? I assume Leslie is there to extort money.
They can do anything they want with the DNA results. Most soaps play it out one way and then say it was tampered and then play it out the other way lol.
Haley laughing about Bill's morally impaired clients. She knows exactly who he is. They're both trash.
I am also really invested in the story with Doug and Vanessa, they've done a good job of bringing these characters to life and with some complexity. Moreso Vanessa thsn Doug, but the last couple conversations bw them have been good scenes.

For those that dont know- just read this is being pre-empted I think Tues and Wed for some sports event.

I think I dislike Hayley the most out of all the characters. She is just insufferable. She didn't give a shit what Mike may have done to those women, tried to get Naomi to drop the suit, and then was all - oh I might have a daughter so suddenly this affects me?
The affair, the lying, the poor me, the I want a baby to solidify my position, she and Bill are both terrible self centered people, not hard to see why they made a match.

I still think it's weird. IRL I would have a lot of questions about anyone passing around a photo like that. Even if it were my brother and my nephew. And then without consent? Like wtf.
I find the way they are framing this story really weird and off putting.
Anyway different sensitivities I guess.

Is this a picture of the kid in underwear? That is so weird. Here (Ontario) distribution of an image like that- police would be involved, and even if it was just other kids distributing it. Kids have been charged under that law. An adult distributing it- uh yep cops for sure. And distributing can be as simple as just shaowing/sharing not like a mass film ring or anything. T
I find it strange the show is just sidestepping that but maybe it's ok in the US? But it's been bothering me since the start.

I'm still watching last week. The Cady McClain character is weird. Just an empty character for Dani to react against. And I just don't buy the friendship or the history. When she comes on screen my primary thought is- oh there's CM, bc they felt like they needed a name to bring in viewers initially and this is who they got with Lindstrom.
Is there a reason it isn't Vanessa in these scenes? It would be much more interesting. I feel like Vanessa and Dani dishing about their lives over drinks would be more fun.
I enjoyed watching Bill fire Mike. This is maybe a UO, but I kind of like Bill. I have since the beginning for some reason.
Hayley- they've played her as this naive innocent who just fell in love for a while now. They really need to have a scene with her and Dani where the act just drops and she says- yeah, I had a plan from day 1 and it was easy. Just embrace the schemer. It would be a shock for the audience, and it would make the character a lot more interesting.

Just watched Friday's ep. I really think they should just lean into the obviousness and comedy of the Febreze, break the fourth wall with some kind of wink to the audience, like 30 Rock used to do when they were mimicking placements.
They could really lean into the humour with it, and/or they could also change it up and do it in way that is some kind of homage to the original soaps and the ads.
I mean if they have to do it, I'm sure they could find a way to be creative with it.

Behind, I've just missed Friday's. But re Dana caring about anyone- Dana is a sociopath. She doesn't care about anyone but herself, including her daughter. I think she has manipulated Eva for years.
Certainly doesn't care about Laura or Mona. I think Laura is only alive bc Dana didn't think outright killing her was necessary. I think her 'friendship' with those women is strategic, to get info and to pass as a normal person with a life.
Other - really disappointed they're pursuing this twin modeling thing. All the twin stuff is tedious. As is Martin.
I actually would have found Dani returning to modeling would've been more interesting.

Did Leslie do something to keep Laura in the hospital? I feel like I missed an episode, although I'm not sure how. I might have accidentally deleted something.

I'm behind but as someone who works in privacy/security this whole 'I have to log you out of the hospital computer system' is such dumb bullshit. Timed automatic log outs on sensitive systems is security 101.
It's not even some obscure control that the general public wouldn't know about.
I don't expect much realism in soaps, but every time they refer to it I cringe.
Random thoughts- I just don't care about the teen stories.
- I decided I don't care what that crime boss guy does to Doug, as long as Vanessa isn't collateral damage

I'm behind, I just watched the ep where Naomi spoke to Bill and then Haley. Hailey?
I really like the actress playing Naomi, her scenes are good. She really conveys a lot of emotion without being over the top.
Kat saying Leslie seemed caring or something? Wtf lol. I would've walked away from thst interaction thinking she was psychotic. That is not normal behaviour.

And that ending -- with the band playing and Bert walking along, kinda like a dead man walking, trying to talk his way out -- I don't remember it frame for frame, but I do remember getting chills watching it live.
I finally finished this storyline, and this was good but then having Bert be catatonic was such a cop out (heh no pun intended). And everybody fawning over him? And referring to him as 'sick', as though he had some random illness that made him turn bad? Please. It was ridiculous, and really undermined the story.
If they were going to have Bert break bad, they should've went all the way with it, cuffs and jail. He killed Tessie, tried to have Frisco and Felicia killed, and was not super concerned about Anna and Robin potentially being killed. Anna in particular fawning over him was ridiculous.
Anyway, it was good except for that. It's a shame the actor wanted to leave, bc as a villain origin story it would have been very good I think. Bert breaks out in a few years and vows revenge etc.
So I'm not sure what's next to watch. 1987. Can someone tell me Lucy is just in the background until she has an affair with whatsisname, Bobby's husband?

I'm really going to be sad when this show ends. I know there's another season in the can or something but it's almost over. I'm not sure if it's something I would rewatch or not.
The other reason I thought the roller skate was a bad idea was not just bc she could've killed the girl, but bc absolutely I figured it would lead to charges. Whereas if she had just pushed her down or even punched her probably would've gotten a pass.
I really like Paul Reiser's character, and it's so interesting how me opinion has evolved from season 1. I thought it was a short bad guy cameo.
I 100% knew Lucas would not lead those guys to Dusty or the other kid. I do feel bad for him- he has an interest and was succeeding, had a great moment at the game and now it's all lost. Sucks.
Murray on the plane says something about kids experimenting and then the pair up Robin and Nancy. I hope not.
I almost like the stoner friend better than Jonathan.
I was in high scool in 1990 and I remember the negative association with D&D. I remember watching one of those cheesy 'based on a true story' special event movies on tv about it. Although I think it was about suicide, that the kids took the game so real they committed suicide over it.

Lying to a cop to cover it up? Is that obstruction of an investigation?
