I admit to getting teary-eyed & emotional in the scenes between Shawn & Belle, and the scenes with Chloe & Brady. All the actors involved were good & seemed emotional, esp. Martha Madison(Belle). Maybe it's because I am getting older & I remember when these characters were Teens & I enjoyed them so much, back in the day.

What the Heck kind of dress is Sunny wearing today?! It looks like she is going to a Cocktail party. Wonder what Whoopi's 'big" announcement is?

I am really enjoying Jason Mraz & Xochitl Gomez...they got my votes this week. It seems like Michael Strahan was just there to give high scores & only positive feedback( I mean, really, what does Michael know about Ballroom dance?!) I Love Derek's brooches...so interesting looking!

I think Tate is cute, the actor seems decent in his inter-actions with his family. I can NOT get used to seeing Emily(Gwen) as Theresa in a very bad, blonde wig...its just dis-orienting. I did get a kick out of Bonnie saying she needed a Family Tree to figure out how everyone was related. And I thought the scene with Maggie talking to Justin & reminding him of the story of Mickey/Mike was very emotional.

I watched "A Very Venice Romance" tonite & enjoyed it. I had never seen the 2 Leads before but they were both very attractive & charming. I Googled the actor & he had done mostly Italian movies & TV: I really enjoyed his sexy accent. And I enjoyed the scenes of Venice: I was there years ago as a College student & it truly is a magical city.

I had not heard of Carlos Vivas before, but I enjoyed his music & his fun personality...I got a kick out of Sunny & Ana talking to him in Spanish & translating for him

Wow: I am shocked! That was definitely a surprise...The dog act was clever but no way it was better than Murmmeration. Sigh, I feel let down

I really liked seeing the intense scenes today between Xander & Sarah...a lot of hurtful things were said, but all were true. I agree with Disneyboy that Paul Telfer is really expanding his range of acting...I am interested in his storyline.

Murmmeration got my 10 votes. I liked the head balancing brothers and I did laugh out loud at some of Ahren's jokes, the young magic girl seemed nervous..

I enjoyed the scenes between EJ & Wendy today...Wendy reminded me of original Wendy, who was sassy & interesting. EJ was menacing as befits a DiMeara. Nicole looked so pretty in her black dress & black boots. I am not a fan of Brandon Beemer's acting: Shawn should have been much more emotional today. I did like Belle & Shawn's talk.

I watched "Come Fly With Me", mainly because of the storyline with the US Thunderbirds...I have seen them numerous times at Air Shows & they are so cool, so I appreciated the times in the movie where we got some shots of the Thunderbirds in action. The leads had nice chemistry & the 2 daughters were cute & I enjoyed their friendship & storyline.

That's what I said too! :)

What was with Whoopi suddenly asking Alyssa if she was pregnant?! That seems very personal & why did she say that? Have rumors been circulating that Alyssa is pregnant? I did not think Alyssa looked different in any way, and she seemed rather taken aback by the question.

I was teary-eyed during Justin reading the Tennyson poem & seeing Victor on his boat, and Sunny's lovely tribute to Maggie. Theresa is annoying, gads, so pathetic & hoping Brady will take her back, and then hitting on Alex. I, too, was disappointed that John&Marlena were not in attendance. But, emotional show over-all

What fun to be able to visit the set! Did you win a contest?

Derrick Hough & his long-time fiancee, Hayley, got married last weekend...the photos are in PEOPLE magazine...it looks beautiful...set in a forest in Northern California. Lots of DWTS folks there, Mark Ballas was his Best man, a lot of Derrick's partners were there.

The French group, Murmuration, were amazing tonight! The only group I voted for tonight. The Drum Line boys were fun & energetic.

That Ryan Preece crash was terrifying to watch! He spun over & over in the air 10 times! He went to the Hospital but they say today he was released.

Awww...so sad to hear about Arleen Sorkin...I Loved the character of Calliope! She added just the right amount of fun & "crazy" to DOOL. Remember when she had a job as a Cab driver in Salem?

I was rolling my eyes at Johnny lounging around with no shirt on while talking to his Step-Mother, to be. I like that he mentioned his Mother...maybe Sami will show up sometime soon? Talia's storyline today was ridiculous...Kayla says she can be a Doctor at the Hospital, like its no big thing, "oh, we will work around your criminal record!" Huh?! Then she just happens to be there when Sloan passes out & can do CPR...wow, has she 'redeemed" herself?

I wondered about Nicole's hair too! It suddenly went from medium/short to very long...I assume extensions? I loved Nicole & EJ together today...they are cute & comfortable with one another. I thought it was realistic to bring up Victor's 'bad guy side" when Nicole remembered being married to him. I agree with Disney Boy that Brandon Beemer is not strong enough in his scenes to make his alcoholism seem believable. I did like Xander & Sarah's scenes...Sarah was not giving Xander an inch! I was a Xander/Sarah fan before but now I like Xander & Chloe so much...I dont know which couple to choose! :)

I just finished Friday's episode & want to join in on the praise for a show well done. Congrats to Suzanne Rogers for her 50 years, she was so lovely when she was younger..I loved the Red Dance shoes. Maggie & Julie, together on the bed, made me really weepy...2 friends reminising about their lives. I thought the scenes with Kate & Chloe were emotional too, and Xander & Brady. I could have done without Shawn's whining. Those scenes with Maggie & Victor on a date & Maggie saying she felt Alive again & that Mickey would want her to be happy...my tears came out again.

Oh My: I am crying at the end of today's show, Paul Telfer(Xander) is just great in these emotional scenes, he & Chloe had such a moment when they said "I Love You" and then the final scene with Victor saying he is proud of Xander as a Kiriakis. All the Flashbacks were great, altho I was distracted by Lauren Koslow's changing face & the buttons on her jacket! I loved the Steve Flashbacks of him coming to Salem to work for Victor & what a 'bad" guy Victor was but Kayla reminded him that her Mother loved Victor & I have always been a Steve/Kayla fan so I loved their scenes together & so sweet when they kissed. I feel really Old because I remember those early days of watching "DOOL" & the romances & intrigue. :(

I thought Maggie & Justin did a good job with those emotional scenes today, and I liked having John there too. It was rather abrupt with the transition from those sad scenes to the ones of Leo/Gwennie/Dmitri...good grief, could Gwen be even more Dumb?! Gwen was never written before as dumb & clueless. Apparently, someone on the writing staff is a Madonna fan :) The scene with "Auntie Gabs" & Rachel playing a "Game" was making me laugh.

Gosh: Brady finally came to his senses! Going on the run was the worst possible decision he could make & John was making all the arguments why he should not do it. Stephanie/Chad/Alex: Blah. I did enjoy seeing Thomas & Charlotte, they are cute.
