Claire seems to have a habit of going after Ciara's men. First Theo and now Tripp.  

Tripp and Claire were close friends before Ciara even entered the picture and he liked Claire before he moved onto Ciara. Then Ciara broke up with him.    I still can't comprehend why either girl was so invested in Theo, but again, Ciara threw Theo away when she decided to go after Chad, then Theo and Claire became close.

So to me, it isn't "Claire going after Ciara's men" but rather, Ciara throwing men away.  After that, Ciara doesn't have a say in what happens.

Ugh Jennifer can shut up.

I hate tersea is being so pathetic over brady.

I find both girls to be unlikable. I find their rivalry to be contrived and boring. 

[TeeVee329]

Ciara...dumped Tripp, right?  I mean, sure, it's not cool for him to jump on her aunt/friend like six seconds later, but...he's not your boyfriend, girl, by your choice.

Also...isn't it a little gross that the show used Ciara's rape as a quick wedge between her and Tripp so they could throw her at Ben? 

Quote

Eve is determined to find a way to thwart her sister.

Fuck off, Eve.  Maybe you should be raging about your daughter's killer being released from prison?  Just a thought.

I wish Ciara wasn't the worst and/or that she was played by a much better actress because this Ben/Ciara shit is right up my alley. But I hate her and her acting sucks so it won't be good dammit!

I may be asking for too much but I'm hoping RSW can bring some life to her. I find him to be extremely charismatic.. I mean, he even made me tolerate Kate Mansi heh.

He wasn't able to make it work with his dud love interest on PP AMC, though he was, to be fair, greener than.

It almost makes me want to start watching again. I returned but couldn’t take whenat was happening to Kayla and Steve.

[Silver Raven]

So Ben is going to take Ciara to the cabin where Wendy the dead midwife delivered Thomas.  Isn't that cabin on Smith Island, and isn't there a public ferry that runs between Smith Island and Salem?  Did nobody on the ferry see him carrying an unconscious girl?

[DisneyBoy]

I don't think it was on Smith island. That's the Horton cabin...

[Harmony233]

Wonder where Ben will get money at I've just been curious how he's going to live lol.

But who is Ron to tell someone to lose weight?  He’s the head writer, right?  I’ve never heard of the head writer telling an actor that they need to lose weight.  If he has a producer credit, I would understand a tiny bit.

There's also the opposite. Gail O'Grady is on record saying that she was told by the writers of American Dreams that they would stop writing for her if she lost any more weight. She had lost a bit of weight (it was actually due to morning sickness) and the writers were concerned that she was going to go for the Lollipop head look that was so popular at the time.

Anyway, I can't help but think there's a reason why Ben is being brought back, and that's his abs.

[Silver Raven]

I can envision an entire episode of Xander and Ben trying to outflex each other.

Okay.  There are episodes of this show in recent weeks that I would prefer this to. 

[swtrgrl]

I'd watch that on a loop. Have you SEEN RSW's Intagram feed? Day-um!

[TeeVee329]

I read a spoiler in TV Guide that Theresa, with Victor's help, dangles Titan/Bella in front of Brady, but the catch is he has to sleep with her.  Not even break up Eve or start a relationship with her, just sleep with her once.  That's...not cool.  It could be interesting if they linked that behavior with the trauma she suffered being a sex prisoner for over a year, but I think this is just supposed to be spicy bad girl antics.

Also saw Ron tweet that CB got a movie and that's why they had to extend Gabi being in prison a few weeks.

I'd be okay with the sex thing once...IF they tied it to PTSD from being a sex slave. But they won't do that. 

[RachelKM]

Didn't Brady just walk away from Titan telling Victor to shove it?  Why would dangling it in front of him be a plan for anything?

[Silver Raven]

I wonder if Philip's return is tied to Victor desperate to find somebody to take over Titan.  Why can't Shawn do it?

[DisneyBoy]

Is Philip returning?

Philip is coming back?  Who’s playing him?

Kyle Lowder.

[buffynut]

Are we sure Kyle Lowder is playing Philip?  I thought I read he was going to be Rex.

If he's Philip, that will be extra strange when Victor has scenes with Brady and ex-Brady.

I read an interview with RSW where he said that Deidre Hall was instrumental in him coming back.  She told the top dogs at the show that RSW was so talented and that he deserved to come back and that it would be a shame to not bring someone so talented back to the show to paraphrase.

I wonder if Ben's disturbing moment from his childhood is that Clyde sexually abused him.  He would then be able to relate a little to Ciara's rape and they will bond over that.  Just a guess.

Fuck me. I just need Ron to stay away from sexual assault/abuse. That's literally all I ask of him!

[Harmony233]

It took me like five minutes to remember that Jennifer and Lucas were relea ted because I couldn't figure out why Chloe and Lucas were hanging out with Jennifer and eric.

[nilyank]

I think it should be enough if Ben remembers seeing Clyde raping his sister Jordan or being abusive/controlling with his mother.

Yeah I hope they don't go there they already got his father abusing him without bringing sexual abuse into it although Clyde did sexually abuse his sister.

lol I never remember they're related either. Every time they mention a sibling I'm all "What, who's the sibling?"

[Harmony233]

I didn't know where to put this at but I haven't read any spoilers about eve finding out Ben was out.She seems more interested in fighting Teresa for Brady.I mean maybe it will happen on next week's episodes.

[Harmony233]

Thank goodness Gabi is out of prison.

wonder if Lani 's baby will survive.

[Silver Raven]

Wow, I fully expected JJ to have to deliver the baby.

[RachelKM]

OMG... How many times can one pregnancy be in jeopardy?  Here's the thing, I don't care about this story.  I want to like Lani and Eli, but they're both a little bland.  I liked them each in their respective pairings with JJ and Gabi; but together? Zzzzzzzzzzz......

I hate miscarriage and dead children stories.  So I'm generally super concerned and invested in difficult pregnancy/sick children stories hoping everything is okay.  But I just can't care about this one.  Heck, I don't even remember that Lani or her pregnancy exist until she appears on screen or her name is directly mentioned.

[bobcat1946]

Just me but as far I am concerned Eli and have easy lay Lani, or Lani can have easy lay ELi.

Aaaaaannnnnd... All I feel is annoyed that we had to go through this BS story at all.   Is it terrible that the only person I feel bad for in this situation, really, is JJ? He was the only person in this pregnancy story line whose feelings about the pregnancy moved me at all.

Because JJ is the only sympathetic character in this entire storyline.  We watched Lani lie to everyone without any sign of guilt or remorse, the only time she showed any regret was when JJ confronted her with the truth during Gabi's trial.  If it were up to Miss Lani Price, neither JJ or Eli would know the truth.  Eli was on the right track when he admitted to having sex with Lani on Christmas Eve out of a sense of revenge but then he lost any points he gained when he lied to Gabi about being the father.  I have zero problem with two confirmed liars being miserable and having to live with the horrible choices they made.  Plus, no one ever really felt invested in the baby storyline--it was kind of a huge waste of time,

This baby not making it makes no sense. What was the point of taking the pregnancy this far? I guess they figure we sympathize with Lani, and her predicament. Well, I know, for me, it's never entertaining to watch a miscarriage, and it's even less moving when it happens to a character I tend to care less for. Same with Eli. He's pretty, but totally meh. These writers suck.

There are rumors that this story about the baby dying was forced on Ron...I thought for sure that the baby was going to be JJ's.. 

I too hate stories about dead babies and children.

Actually that would have been a good twist, if the baby was born premature, but actually somehow turned out to be JJ's.  

I hate the idea of the baby actually being born, then dying. Lani might as well have miscarried back with the first scare.

What's the rumoured reason for this storyline being forced on Ron?

I have no idea, but, the rumor is that Ron did not want Lani to lose the baby.

I never understood why the show killed off Zack, it did nothing, at changing, the status quo of Bo and Hope. Zack's death, should have been the end of Bo and Hope and I say this, as a Bope fan. I never got over Zack's death..

I am not a fan of the baby dying. I'm still worn out from watching Nicole go through a bunch of these dead baby stories. 

They should've just made the baby JJ's. Now I feel like all of this [lackluster] Eli and Lani baby drama was for nothing, even moreso that the two characters don't seem interested in being with each other. I'm just wondering what the whole point of this baby storyline is. 

Now I am very curious why this dead baby story was forced on RC.

[buffynut]

Maybe TPTB just didn't want yet ANOTHER baby on the show, especially if, as suspected, both Sami and Abigail are going to be pregnant.

They should have had them fall in love, while bonding over their baby. Then, they find out the baby is JJ's.. Not to mention, a vengeful Gabi, now in the mix, who is out, to get everybody who has ever harmed her. That includes Julie, Abigail and Lani..
