Devin probably talked him into it, and he figured "so I'll just have someone else's wife doing all the work Devin normally does, and I'll just do what I want." I just can't fathom someone getting SO pissed off about a bike.

When she said that, I was thinking "if Tyler's ever read her Twitter page, he's thinking, 'no, God, no, please don't "help" me the same way you've helped Ronn.'"

Tyler needs to take the stick out of his ass. And man was there a LOT of anger and tension between Tyler and Devin at the table at the end there. I didn't think things went that poorly between them that it justified so much barely contained anger. And I got majorly uncomfortable for a moment there when it seemed like Ronn was going to try to float "well, since Devin and I are usually very physically intimate with each other, you should play her part here." Ick. Ick. Ick. I fully expected to not like Devin, because she comes across as pretty batcrap crazy on Twitter, but I liked both wives, couldn't stand either husband.

Exactly. I think we're supposed to somehow think she's "redeemed" because people like KT, and Britt had a sad over having to give back the baby she stole, but she's still the same pathetic person she was before.

Mac's attitude towards Levi was, by far, the best part of today's show. If this Levi shit has to continue, I want regular scenes of him, Nathan, and Dante tossing back a few and ripping on Levi. But the state determines that, not any one hospital's CoS.

Seriously. How does she still have a license to practice medicine? Of all the stupid Ron dishes up, a doctor not facing any repercussions for that shit ranks right near the top. And this is at a hospital where Monica lost her CoS position because her son was accused (but not convicted) of murder, because it reflects poorly on the hospital or some such shit.

I believe Jason's current status is "human popsicle."

The odds of Katie properly directing her anger at Ridge for obsessing over Brooke's love life instead of her raging at Brooke for being a man stealing/man hoarding slut are lower than my odds of winning the lottery...without buying a ticket. I assume she'll use her own special brand of logic to determine that Brooke is only with Bill because she knows Ridge won't like it, and she went off to get married away from them because she knew poor widdle Ridge would have no choice (No Choice!!) but to pursue her to the ends of the earth to stop the wedding. And Brooke totally planned for Ridge to then get in an accident and lose his memory, but, HA!, the Kridge love is so true and written in the stars that all it took to thwart Brooke's evil memory loss plans was for Katie to recite one of their super special poems to bring him back to everyone.

I've already set the DVR. She is batcrap crazy, so watching Tyler try to deal with her should be fun.

I really think that Ron is just that much of a conceited prima donna, that if people dare to insult his writing, he digs in deeper, determined that he's somehow going to prove that he's "right," because he truly can't conceive of the idea that anyone with a brain would ever think his writing was anything other than pure genius. Every soap writer has created a stinker. Every single one. The smart ones cut their losses when they can and move on to something else. Ron doubles down and demands that everyone respect his genius.

You totally should have tweeted that in response. My grandmother says the same about my grandfather (who passed away 27 years ago). I think it's sweet. And Bobbie has a lot of family and friends, she could be doing things other than getting into another fight over a man with Lucy. She could be involved at the hospital, she could be involved with the Brownstone renovations to some extent, maybe be like Myrtle on AMC to the younger generation who moves in there. I did think Kin and Jackie had some nice chemistry in those scenes in the MC lobby back when Carly thought Michael had slept with Brenda. But, I'm not at all into this (and I know I'm on record as saying I'm on the Scott/Lucy train, no matter how badly Ron wants to write it - he can't ruin them for me).

Can we just send Frank a link to the Elimination Game thread? That should be a good start for him.

Lord, yes. Monica should not only get to off FrankenRon, she should be allowed to go hunt down Guza, JFP, and Frons and roast their carcasses over an open fire, too.

No, Ryan and Chris Stamp (who really should have remained as Ryan's father, because he may have been the only character as insufferable as Ryan).

I'm going to apologize in advance for sharing the brain-bleaching thought that just occurred to me... Back on AMC, years ago, Erica and Kendall were dating men who believed at the time they were father and son. This included one godawful "double date" that came thisclose to degenerating into a strip poker game. If Ron writes a Carly/Franco/Bobbie/Scott strip poker game, that shit better remain on his Twitter feed.

So, Alexis has one of the few decent sets left on this show, and they're going to blow it up and then likely put her in some cheap crap living room pieced together from old All My Children, Port Charles, or Disney Channel sets?

This. I run hot and cold on Olivia, but I was getting so pissed when he was acting like this was her fault. Yes, the MC rented him a room, but you're the one who has done not even a bare minimum effort to stop your kid from behaving like such an entitled little hellspawn. And you're also the one that let him believe the scheming bitch he's currently scheming with was going to be his new mommy when you'd known her all of five seconds. You're a shitty father, and an out of control kid is one of the natural outcomes of a shitty parent. Own up to it already. It's a sad statement on how JZ has looked over the past several years that today was better. It was, don't get me wrong, but I still had an "oh, honey, what you've done to yourself" head shake when she appeared on screen. If he doesn't get in Liz's pants soon, he'll give in and "forgive" Britt for this (and stealing his sister's baby) because he wants to get laid. Unless he grows a new tumor so he can have ghost tumor sex with Emily again. . I tuned the press conference out. Did we even get one reporter snarkily saying "what you you expect from a hospital run by an international terrorist?" Well, yeah, but, see, Ron was on his way to the bathroom when they handed it to him, and the stall was out of TP, so...

I'll split the difference and throw a ticker tape parade for both Liz and Anthony, giving them joint credit for one of the few things that's happened on this show in recent years that I genuinely appreciated. My 11 (almost 12) year old just lost a tooth yesterday. I ended up googling, because my first thought was "wait, this is still going on here? I thought we were done!" Kids can lose teeth up through 12-13 years old, and there's no "right" time frame for it. And it just occurred to me... We've already noticed that Ron picked up on the "Children of the Corn" references made on TWoP about Joss, and ran that into the ground on air. Maybe this is his way of being "clever" and running the old "Spencer is an old man" jokes into the ground? Considering who his mother is, it's amazing he's not a bigger asshole. Nothing good could possible come of getting half of your genetic material from CopKilla. (And, despite his lineage, his father isn't exactly a prince either.)

Dr O (I'll keep holding on until this bitch fries) Duke Britt

I'd find them fighting over the purse to be more understandable, to be honest.

He'll just recast Luke with Michael Muhney.

Dr. O Duke Spencer

Maybe it's someone like GhostEmily paying her a visit?

Maybe they shouldn't count as one? Because I'm sure there are people out there who like Luke but would really rather be done with this whole Fluke thing.

Exactly. Robin's exit was written with an illusion that she had a choice, but she never really had any good options. From what I recall (around the rage blackouts the whole thing gave me) Victor played little subtle hints to Robin that he could get to her loved ones if he wanted to. She may have agreed to go, and she had that little moment in the park with Danny where she felt more open to doing what Victor wanted, but, at the heart of matter, her choice was never really whether to go or not, but more how easily she was going to go, and how messy things would get before she agreed. And while I hate Robin having to leave her family so soon after return to revive the Borg, I think that her scene in the park with Danny was more about her making what she was going to have to do "OK" in her mind by telling herself she was bringing Danny's father home to him.
