Silver Raven

It is on top of her repeatedly calling her chiquita and senorita.

I am always reminded of the British soap, Emmerdale, which has an entire town as its setting. Outdoors scenes, pub scenes (I've even read that the pub serves real beer), separate houses for every family, a couple of running farms. Hollyoaks isn't as extensive as Emmerdale, but they have a river and a pond. The pub is even called The Dog on the Pond. And also lots of outdoors scenes.

How can Hope tell Ted that he's safe because Stefan has been arrested, when she was just trying to make a deal with Stefan to set him free? Once again we're back to the baby hyperventilating sound they use for babies. "Could we speak somewhere privately away from the noise?" A very good description of Julie. Stefan had a good point about Hope more concerned with getting Ben than justice for Rafe's sister. But then, there's still justice for Paige, who is also Rafe's sister ... Considering how often Chad switches back and forth between running Titan and running DiMera, what could possibly be on the stick that Xander is waving under Victor's nose that Chad didn't already disclose when he was running Titan? I'm sorry, when did Gabi try to kill Julie again? And damn awesome of Gabi not to put up with her bullshit any more.

Who knew that Jamie was secretly a badass?

Liz Cheney is not amused by his speech.

Sheri Anderson's title in the credits has been changed from creative consultant to script writer. Is there any significance in that?

If they want to look into Rolf's serum, shouldn't they be running tests on Will? Rafe said Hope would have known about why he arrested Stefan if she had been at the police station, but Rafe wasn't there, either. The news of the federal indictment came while he and Stefan were wrestling. The pub was playing country music? Xander needs a haircut. I wouldn't rape a woman, I only murder them. Why is Jack so much more eager to meet Kayla than he was to meet Adrienne? Also, he claims to have read his book. The rape is in there. Where did Eve get that drive she gave Xander? Sorry, Hope, a local cop can't make fed charges go away. Also, death for treason only applies during war time. Nice mom jeans, Jennifer. Does Ben still live in the homeless shelter?

Even before that, he stole the money from Sonny that was keeping Sonny's club open, forcing Sonny to shut down the club and go to work for Victor in Europe. Just so that he could prove to everybody that he was a real DiMera.

OMG, Bears!

Here are Caleb and Jonathan covering "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"

I can't praise Caleb and his singing partner, Jonathan Young, highly enough.

AT&T has a new ad out with a gay couple, and the comments on the YouTube page are predictably disgusting.

That thought actually occurred to me. :)

I wonder if he's going to tell her that he slept with Mimi while they were playing house in Chicago.

Herb Kelleher, the founder of Southwest Airlines has died, and several airlines have tweeted their condolences in lovely words.

I wonder why Melinda doesn't want her relationship to Haley known. Is Haley spying for her or something?

Why did Jack and Eve break up? I wish they could do flashbacks. They never made love when they were married? Really? Damn, Rafe jumping Stefan was gorgeous. :) Oh, yes, Abigail is such a good person. Gag.

I saw a photo of Jordan and Rafe with a baby.

She enjoys prosecutions. Even when people explain to her that their loved ones are innocent.

Because Melinda is a horrible person?

"I try to stay out of the sun." Ha, Dead Jack made a joke! I wonder if they brought Kate Mansi back solely to be able to use her for the Jack/Abigail flashbacks. I am SO loving that Gabi is standing up for herself and not groveling.

I'm looking forward to Leo's crush on Xander. I'm sure Xander will be running around shirtless.

He's an investment banker at Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, a global company where former CIA director David Petraeus also works.

Chewy has the prescription cat food I buy from my vet, but only in the extra large bag size, and I don't like to get him the big bags because he much prefers the stuff out of a freshly opened bag.

I usually hate the America's Best glasses ads, but this one makes me laugh (except for the woman pronouncing "second" as "sucond") https://www.ispot.tv/ad/In2J/americas-best-contacts-and-eyeglasses-dkny-event-bird-bath
