I like Tripp but this storyline makes him look weak and jealous.    His last girlfriend tried to kill him a few times so his girlfriend having feelings for someone else should not bother him that much.

The weird thing about Gabi is that she had become a mostly fun character, and it seemed Camila Banus had grown as an actress.  Then they sent her off, and she’s been mostly annoying since her return.  The scenes with Abigail and kidnapping Gwen were fun but the rest of it...not so much.  I hate that this plot to take over Titan makes her look like a moron.  
 

I appreciated Steve being kind to Ava.  I don’t see how holding a grudge against someone is beneficial in any way, shape or form.  It does feel like it came out of nowhere but I can fill in the blanks and say that Ava and Tripp have developed a strong relationship, and Tripp has conveyed that to Steve.  But, good grief, Ava revealed her living form because she wanted a relationship with Tripp and now they rarely share scene together.  Is it really that difficult for Those Writers! to remember their own storylines?

Please let Nicole get romantically involved with EJ or Xander while she’s on this break from Rafe.  He’s a wet blanket to every fiery female on the Show.  

Good grief, who is back from the dead now?  I’m not feeling like it’s Adrienne.  Did Bonnie kill someone while I wasn’t watching?  Oh, I’m so tempted to look at the Spoiler thread.  

Hooray, at all the bolder!! Problem with the Gabater is JAKE!!!!! I hope they fail miserably at the Titan shenanigans !

and

RAFE the BRICK is a wet blanket all around. Since day 1!  Would love Nicole and EJ!! Talk about a power couple! 
However, if that doesn’t happen..I think Nicole and Philip would be great..partly because of her being his former step mommy 😳😄, but mostly because she would help bring Gabi and fake-Stephan-the Jakester Dowwwnnn!! Philip needs a win and Nicole is smart & savvy enough  to do it!!

It won’t happen, 😤😩

so I’ll take Xander if not.🙂

I wish Johnny and Chanel could ditch Tripp/Allie or just Allie. I don't really hate Tripp he's just there. Allie is just awful.

I wish Tripp and Allie would both just disappear. They’re both useless and Allie makes Trip the weakest link. Allie ia jelly of Chanel AND Johnny. So is Tripp ! Their relationship is  “convenient” and so boring!!
Love, love, loving Johnny and Chanel. Hope they don’t bow down and give up because of the ignorance of Allie  and Trippie having problems with them dating!

Good for Abby for giving Jack and Chad the cold shoulder. Jack talking to Abby on Chad's behalf? Abby should tell him off.

Both dumbasses just want to keep believing in Gwen. So stick with her.

EJ so obsessed with getting this 1 million back is bizarre.

I hate both and I find that Ron is getting in his own way by involving Tripp/Allie with Johnny and Chanel.  Johnny and Chanel just sparkle together.  Why doesn't he spend time building them up as a potential couple before making a triangle or a square.

It is awkward finding out that your fraternal twin of sorts is dating your best friend. And even more awkward that you have unresolved feelings for said friend. Tripp deserves better. Maybe he can transfer to a nice California hospital and be rid of Allie. He should rightly wonder if she'd rather be with her friend.

The actor playing Johnny continues to shine. Wonder how long he will last on the show before being picked up by a CW type show.

So Calista wants $1 million? Really? One of Victor's goons can easily ship her off to parts unknown. Justin, read the room and see that your fiance is uncomfortable with this woman being around all of a sudden.

EJ, you really are cheap. Sami can't spend your money on getting rid of Nicole from Eric's life? Xander earned that payout. He and Gwen are not a good couple.

Chad, why don't you go to Boston to see Abs?

Nice to see Trask again.

I'm still on last week, but I don't see the appeal of Johnny and Chanel at all. I stopped watching last week just because I couldn't take any more of them. Ugh. Johnny is awful so far. I don't know if his over-the-top acting when meeting Paulina was intentional, bad writing, or bad acting, but it was the worst.

Actually, I think Johnny is one of the most stronger younger actor that this show has hire in a long time. Under Ron's writing it might not last. Let's hope the acting can overcome the writing. lol

I don't see what's THAT great about him. He has some charisma and his character is slightly entertaining but he's not so impressive for all the fawning over him. Johnny hasn't done anything much except argue with EJ, try to bum money from family members, and flirt with Chanel. MM/Charlie, he was good.

I think he's getting the praise - partly because he deserves it - but even moreso because so many of the AKTORS (and I use the word as loosely as they do any pretence at skill) are just total shit cans.  Allie???  Trip???  Paulina??  BEN????????????????????????????????????????  Ciara????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I disagree, the guy has held his own in all the scenes he's been in. Sometimes it takes a while for a new actor to get his footing, but this guy has came out of the gate running. I'm throughly enjoying him.

I think he deserves some praise, but IMO it's over the top. I'll give you some of the actors on that list but, even though it's a bit early to tell, I think Lucas Adams is a way better actor than he is. And as much of a ham as JH is, Paulina has way more charisma than he does.

Yes, he's held his own. So have some of the other actors. I think the Ciara actress isn't that great, but she was able to hold her own in her scenes with many of the vets, something this Johnny actor has barely had to do. He's mostly been in scenes with the new EJ actor (who isn't a vet) and these younger characters. The only vets he's had a couple of scenes with are Tony and Anna.

Exactly! Wish Philip would dump her, given their history..and Brady is no innocent and thinks himself high above Philip, and he is definitely NOT. He knows exactly what he’s doing and the spoilers played off exactly as thought. Brady deserves a good ass kicking..but of course, the show would never allow that!

No matter how “innocent “ it’s supposed to be, it’s not. Chloe looks, once again, like a flighty, clueless airhead..she should have left Brady on the couch. I’m sick of this shit.

Allie, it really isn't your business that your twin brother is a player. Chanel is a big girl who can take care of herself. She's not a sweet, innocent girl. Both of them can clue in to who they really are.

I liked Tripp and Ava's dinner. At least she got something to do today. She listened to him, gave him advice, etc.

Belle, stay out of Philip's life. Yes, he is jealous over nothing right now. And going to whereverville is not going to fix that.

How convenient that the plane had a problem, that it landed in some town, that the hotel is being painted and that there are only a couple of rooms available. It looked like the Salem Inn with a different headboard. Brady could sleep on the couch or the floor. There were enough pillows. And seriously, with all the rooms closed for 'painting' there were plenty of extra blankets or a cot around.

The show is shot too far ahead. New Orleans really isn't the best place to go right now.

Especially since it's only about a 2 hour drive to NYC from Wilkes-Barre.  There was really no excuse to need to stay in a motel.  Also, they're acting like Wilkes-Barre would only have one motel near the airport - it's a fairly big city - population about 40,000 - not like some population 300 small town.

At least they didn't end up in Murder/Hideout Motel? (That we know of yet.) And yes, they absolutely have the means to hire other transportation even if the drive was longer than a couple of hours. Also, even a Super 8 will have a rollaway cot for extra guests. So ridiculous.

Have the writers just forgotten that Sami was kidnapped?

And the fact that other people are still out and about eating dinner lets us know that it isn't 2:00 AM where at least they could use the conceit that there are no cars available. 

Given it's supposed to be a motel, I'm surprised they didn't use the Hideout Motel set rather than the Salem Inn set.

I don't think its anti feminist I mean if the roles were reversed I can't imagine Chloe being chill if Phillip had a similar situation with Belle, Stephanie, Melanie etc.

However this triangle is as bad as I thought it would be which is unfortunate because this is rooted in actual history on this show and both pairings have sizable fanbases. This should be dynamite and instead I want to blow up these characters with dynamite because they all are dumbed down.

Like I said Parker's presence is needed where he hates both Brady and Phillip and wants his mother all to himself.

Everybody is staring Philip is the jealous guy,  however, Brady  is , as well.

 I understand Philips jealously ! He’s right to question Brady’s (and even Chloe’s) motives.

Brady has made some very bad life decisions ..Kristin..then way back with Marlena! And Belle..the accident.-yet all is supposed to be forgiven..yet Philip can’t be ? 

And Fuck Chloe for not accepting Philip’s offer to fly them to NY..and Brady invited, understandably reluctantly. But still  ..

This is why retconning his paternity sucks since as Philip's son that would have connected him to everybody currently on the show.  Parker could have been a mini Victor scheming with his dad against Brady.  Just like Will and Lucas did against EJ.. Kate and Victor could have teamed up against Chloe, reminding the viewers how dynamite Kate and Victor were as a team. 

Give John Aniston one final awesome story with Victor leaving Salem for Greece after putting in place one last wicked scheme and putting the blame all on Kate. The story just writes itself..

Jealousy was the topic today.

How dumb of Philip to intrude on a business trip with his girlfriend and her boss. Granted, it wouldn't happen as the boss would probably stay in a better hotel or different floor. Just dumb, dumb, and more dumb. What an embarrassment for a CEO. None of his business at all. What a waste of jet fuel and the pilot's time for someone's little jealousy worm. Ugh.

Yeah, Johnny, your sister knows you. She is a bit jealous of you too. Romancing her best friend. Does she have any say? Nope. Chanel is a big girl with a lot of experience and not some 17 year old innocent type. She can handle Giovanni being a player. At least both of you have a mom figure to talk about it. Chanel's mom liked the money - only Johnny really doesn't have any. Allie is just jealous and may still want Chanel to herself. If she can't have her, no one can. Tripp is just maybe collateral damage or family expectation.

I liked EJ's you are just a rich boy with a phone. Maybe give your son a chance. Perhaps he does have some talent. Or he will indulge himself and realize he won't get anywhere.

Ava, take your bag and go and let Rafe be with Duke. You're better off. Maybe Nicole will start something with EJ and let Rafe deal with his own crap. Why would she want him? Eric the nice guy didn't work out for her.

This.  She says she's committed to Philip yet insists she stay and sleep in the same bed as Brady (yes, she supposedly made a bed on the floor, but she didn't tell Philip she was going to do that.)  I'd be pissed that my significant other did not take the option of leaving and staying in a separate room.  That's not Philp being jealous, that's Chloe playing both sides.

Yep, Chloe, the bot, is playing both sides and she’s just using Philip to make Brady jealous, anyway.


@WendyCR72..  I totAlly agree with u on Brady/Chloe.  For different reasons, of course.

They deserve each other. Let them be together, have Kristen find out and roll the dice. Have Philip stay out of it ( no saving Chloe please), even though Brady won’t be able to fill those shoes, either.  Philip needs to lose those losers!
Philip does need to focus on Gabi and Jake and their ridiculousness of the takeover.

For the past few years I wanted Brady and Chloe, but not like this… screwing over Philip and calling him crazy-jealous while actually doing the things he thinks they’re doing. (Cuddling with your ex-husband in bed after repeatedly ditching your boyfriend for said ex-husband is not innocent.)

For a Brady/Chloe story, I would have wanted them to delve into his inability to be alone, the way their last marriage collapsed with Victor basically framing Chloe for Brady’s disappearance, their assorted children, and his psychotic ex. 

I also like Philip/Chloe. For a Philip/Chloe story, I would have liked a revisit of Parker’s paternity, a genuine exploration of trust issues (not where the lack of trust is justified!), and the extent to which Chloe (and her parents) can accept Philip’s darker business dealings.

But instead there’s a triangle I didn’t like the first time that makes all three characters awful. Chloe is an idiot who is treating Philip terribly, when she’s normally a smart, compassionate heroine. Philip is a pathetic also-ran, when he’s normally a powerful, somewhat-noble war vet. And Brady is a manipulative liar being portrayed as a hero... when at his best he actually is a hero.
