Dante. Dante. Dante. No. Just...no. The Sonny DNA is really coming into its own in Dante over the past several months.

Right? I mean, I figured they wouldn't dirty Dante up too much, since he has both a penis and Corinthos DNA, so the fact that he became such a douchebag in this story was surprising. But, I think the most disturbing part is that this shit is written by women, and I don't get the impression that they think we're supposed to see him as the douchebag that he's been in this story. It's all "Lulu lied," and "Lulu couldn't get over it quickly enough," and "Lulu endangered Valerie with her reckless revenge plot with the criminal!"

Watching Ridge and Caroline in today's scenes, I remember why I love them so much. I really hope this baby ends up being theirs, but, at the same time, I have such fond memories of TK playing daddy to a baby that wasn't his on AMC, and he was amazing. Just as long as the end game isn't Thomas/Caroline, I'm OK with either paternity resolution.

Why her dead boyfriend curse never extended to Spinelli is beyond me.

OK, someone needs to tweet him that wrestling a bear would get him his Emmy. I so need to see Morgan wrestling a bear. I mean, I've felt like complete and utter shit for the past 24 hours, but just imagining that perked me up.

Seeing as how they already re-did one of Jason's kids being hit by a car, maybe they're bringing ME back as a doctor to diagnosis a return of Danny's cancer? Jasus knows they're not going to do anything actually new, creative, or interesting.

Color me shocked that she's not trying to get an "oops!" Forrester baby.

Is Carly going to start spilling all the mob dirt now that she's had her eyes opened by having the blood of her precious Kiki on her hands? So, again, it wasn't being shot in the head while birthing Morgan. It wasn't her son being in a coma for around a year after being shot by one of Sonny's enemies. Nope. It's the blood of Kiki that is a bridge too far for that beast in dealing with the moobster's lifestyle.

If none of the women in his life told him to, he didn't.

I love this response to Frank's "big surprise" tweet:

If they did actually bring Brenda back, I assume it would just be to ruin her further. My guess would be that they'd use her as some kind of prop in the Sonny/Carly marriage problems. And I know I don't want to see that.

We all know there is no way Carly would try to navigate two different emotional conflicts (her marriage with Sonny and Morgan's issues) without trying to crawl inside Jason's skin to get him to make it all better for her. Her not using the wormhole or at least calling Jason 37 times a day is completely out of character. Can these writers really not find enough drama to mine in their golden couple? No story there in a couple who has been apart for a few years due to the husband's "death"? No story in his amnesia? No story in dealing with the issues they had before his "death"? No story in dealing with him figuring out what he wants to do with his life and whether he wants to throw himself back into the mob life, with all the risks to his family? Nope. None of that. Instead, we need Liz to continue lingering in Hitman/Kidnapping Accomplice hell when she's already had her life literally explode around their happy reunion. If they're ever both fully awake at the same time long enough to renew their vows, will we have Liz staring in the church windows crying? Maybe she can be dressed in rags, with dirt smeared all over her face? Free Liz.

The cynic in me wants to know how much Brie was into some of those things they have in common before she met him. She strikes me as the kind of girl who absorbs whatever interest her boyfriend/husband has.

"He already got his Emmy, why do we need to give him Emmy bait?"

Only acceptable if one of them will be playing Claudette.

Something tells me you'll get your wish. Since "completely ridiculous and stupid and makes no sense" is how this show does things.

I can't help wondering if Kelly has any friends her age who are all "really? This guy?"

Anyone who is legitimately holding out hope that this will make sense is going to be wildly disappointed.

Well, he won't be around long, then. Nobody will be allowed to win against those two.

He's definitely been fucking her with Liam's dick for quite a while now.

I was laughing during Bill's message to Liam about how "you want Steffy. You've always wanted Steffy." Well, you know, except for when you wanted Hope. And Ivy. But, yeah, always. I refuse to believe that Quinn isn't better at keeping on her game face when running a major scheme like this.

I can't be the only one who laughed at the complete lack of self-awareness required for Drumpf to mock Rubio for how much makeup they were applying to him before heading out? I mean, can he not see exactly how unnaturally orange his own face is? Does he think we all think "yep, that's just how he naturally looks"?

I think that the saving grace of when we have a real life entity as part of the story line is that you can't really write something like "oh, look, the mobster is financially supporting Shriners Hospital for Children! They're going to name a wing after him!" I can't imagine any company would be like "yes, please, write in some mob ties for us!" Yes, it's just a TV show, but, still, not the kind of brand messaging anyone would want.

I think my favorite part of the whole proposal thing was their wide-eyed "you're going to be my wife!" "you're going to be my husband!" wonder. They were acting like they've been in love for years, but they had to wait to win some kind of lottery to be able to marry each other, instead of the reality - that they just hooked up 5 minutes ago, and the only thing left up to chance for this was whether his brother, her pre-existing fiance, was going to stay gone long enough for them to feel it wasn't tacky. (P.S. you two crazy kids, this wasn't long enough for it to not be tacky.)

Reading those YouTube comments, one person goes into this whole long drawn out explanation as to why they support him, attributing all this policy to him, and all I can think is "um, yeah, but, seem all Drumpf has said, aside from the whole wall thing, is that 'it'll be great.' He hasn't uttered a single word of actual policy." These people are deluding themselves into thinking there's all this substance that they want to be there, but he's not bringing any substance to the table.
