ITA about the Maggie/Sonny scenes. Suzanne Rogers is breaking my heart with her pain and distress, and Freddie Smith(who's acting I don't usually enjoy) has been terrific, both in these scenes & the ones with Gabi. Xander looked appropriately guilt-ridden & Victor looked mad about the whole situation. Really emotional scenes.

"Our House" is one of my Favorite songs! Loved hearing Mandy sing it & Milo joining in. Kevin's stinging remark to his Mom that she was not as fun as Sophie's Mom really had to hurt her & she made sure to have fun with Kevin at the Card shop...a happy memory for both of them. (We saw those scenes of Sophie's Mom & how much she loved seeing Kevin). Kevin is certainly maturing & in a way, Randall is regressing...his childhood anxieties have come back to haunt him. Loved the scenes of Jack teaching young Randall how running can help clear his head. The young actors in this show are all so terrific & pick up the nuances that we see in the adult Actors. The show is setting up the rift between Randall & Kevin(will Kate be in the middle?)

Yes, I'm handing you a Kleenex....some powerful emotions in this episode

Rahm Emmanuel...former mayor of Chicago & Clinton White House Aide...he had a lot of sensible things to say.

Ohhh...Gabi,Gabi,Gabi.....girl is remorseful, guilt ridden over leaving her daughter again & them Boom! She is back into conniving mode again! (And I sympathize with Gabi mainly because Camilla Banus does a good job of portraying her). Meanwhile, how does Gabi happen to be the match? Scratching my head over that one. Poor Maggie....she is realizing what really happened that night.

Today's show had some good Drama! Ciara bonking Rafe on the head with the baseball bat was crazy! Sonny yelling & crying at Gabi was terrific(Freddie Smith being more animated than he usually is), Gabi aware of what is going to happen to Arianna(Camilla Banus is terrific, even tho her character has done terrible things, I feel sorry for Gabi), the prison scene with Will & Maggie was intense & then Victor shows up & gives the "Evil Eye" to Will. Kristen & Nicole had a face to face chat that was making me laugh. Sarah so happy at the news of a Match & she's hugging Xander & Eric gives the "Evil Eye". I like the new Prosecuting Attorney guy, I guess he is taking Melinda Trask's place. And then Ben shows up! And then Sarah says "You will never guess who the Donor is"....I cant wait for tomorrow! 🙂

I don't much about soccer, but I remembered Pele which lead me to Brazil. The young lady had quite a poker face at the end.

Oh My! The tears flowed at the end as the siblings listened to their Father on the old tape. That was a beautiful scene...this episode gave me all the feels...sadness, gladness(even 'madness" at Mark). Tobey proved he could be a caring Father to lil Jack, Randall admitted why he clobbered the guy, Rebecca showed what a strong & caring Mother she was. And silver-haired Kevin is Handsome!

Awww...the end of today's show had me teary-eyed....it paid tribute to Bill Hayes 50 years on DOOL. They showed clips from the early days with Doug & Bill Horton meeting in jail....Doug(Bill) was a good looking guy. Its really amazing to think how long Bill has been with ONE show! And I guess this was JJ(Casey) last day on the show? Casey looked like he was really sad & not just acting. Loved the family hug with JJ, Jack & Jenn.

Sooo...Beth is now a friend to Rio's ex, who acts like she doesn't know who Beth is, but I have a feeling the woman is playing Beth & that she is in contact with Rio who wants to get 'pay back".

I am really impressed with what Prof. Timothy Snyder is saying! I need to read his book about Tyranny. He was somber in describing what is happening but he emphasized that we cant just give up & accept what is happening...that we all need to be energized and inter-act with our fellow citizens & do lots of reading. Prof. Snyder said Putin & Trump want citizens to just accept what is happening & just give up. Meanwhile, I still have a pit in my stomach...

Galen Gering's birthday is today(Feb.13) and he tweeted out Thanks to his fans & also some pictures, as today was his last day on set. He had a photo of him & Alison Sweeney together(so I wonder if they had scenes together?)...the whole Hernandez family will be gone? I always liked Rafe's scenes with his sister, Gabi...when he was in 'big brother" mode. And I liked Rafe with other cast members, just not with Hope.

Yes, I did enjoy the hot-tempered Kayla telling off Stevino! We got to see that spunkiness that Steve loved in Kayla...I think even 'Stefano" was intrigued by Kayla's passion.

There was a NBC Head Honcho guy there this morning(they showed him watched from the side), I guess he is checking up on how the Live audiences are going. I don't know what I think...everything seems rather "over the top" and they rushed thru the Ambush Make-over this morning & did not even have time to talk to the wife, and I enjoy the Ambush Make-over segments.

Yea, I felt it was a 'set-up" situation...

Joe seems like a good guy. Dr. Jill would be an awesome First Lady. But, I felt Joe evaded answering questions or just gave a canned answer, and seemed like he was taking time to gather his thoughts(and I say this as a Senior citizen who sometimes has trouble getting my thoughts together 🙂

I agree, there were no dresses that really stood out & were unique & different. (I remember the year Halle Berry wore that maroon dress with embroidery, it was beautiful) I liked the marigold color on Mindy Kaling, I thought Penelope Cruz looked adorable, Charlize Theron always looks gorgeous & classic, there was a lot of gorgeous statement jewelry, including the beautiful floral wreath in Salma Hayak's hair.

I love all the Kate actresses, but little toddler Kate is So Adorable! The scenes of her with Jack telling him her story & the scenes of her walking in the field of flowers were so beautifully done. And I had tears in my eyes, as Kate & Rebecca bonded & Kate remembered some good memories from her childhood. The scene of Kate & Rebecca singing Karaoke was sweet.

He does not want to be IN Government which made Alex laugh

I liked Michael T. Weiss...

I Hope we are getting to the end of this silly HoGina stuff 🙂 Today's show had me zoning out except for Hattie who was making me laugh....I got a kick out of Hattie wrapping herself in a blanket & ordering Chad&Abigail around.

I agree: V. Unbeatable for the win....they would get my vote, but I am Not a "SuperFan", just a "Regular" fan 🙂

I think Kobe was included because he won an Oscar for his animated short film "Love Basketball". And yes, about Billie's long, awful black fingernails!

Rachel posted a photo on Twitter last night, she was ice fishing & was holding a fish(a pike?) and looked very happy out in the wild 🙂

I have not watched Kelly/Ryan in awhile, but tuned in to the After Oscars show, I used to enjoy seeing actual Oscar winners on stage with their statues, but now they don't seem to have any winners live, just clips of who Kelly talked to last night. And goodness, Kelly is So scrawny!
