For anyone who cares the Talk is going to have a few stars on from the Y&R, the B&B and the GL, and ATWT. Reva and Josh, Lucinda and Lilly will be reunited. I'm really interested in seeing if Robert Newman (Josh) from the GL still looks good.

Goodness gracious the acting today... egads
I know right? It's like every single actor in this epsidoe has lost the ability to act. It's painful.
It's like everyone was directed today to "be as obviously unafraid as possible- okay go!" My fave wtf moments so far are Chad's I spit on your grave sneer line and Nicole yelling at Deimos. Like seriously- wtf was going on

This whole Andre storyline seems like a red herring -- like it's all part of a plan to get Clyde -- was shooting Chad all faked?
I think you're right, LOL was this Marlena's plan? I think it explains the overacting.

Wow...a lot happened today. Wasn't expecting all this action especially for a Wednesday.

I don't see how Andre can survive what he has done today. Maybe this is leading to the end of this character and TP stays on to play Tony somehow. I don't what Andre is thinking that somehow he can shoot/kill Chad and just hang around running the DiMera empire unless he planned to do from out of the country.

A good twist that Deimos gives up Theresa as bait to get rid of Zander. This will surely end the Nicole/Deimos relationship which is what we want. And I like the return of bad guy Deimos.

I know most people don't like Brady/Theresa but I wonder what the review would be if this were John/Marlena instead. It is typical soap to show a couple happy before a crisis. So I'm going with it.

I wonder if that baby is really in the basinet. Would be cool if Clyde is tricked and it is just a tape recording. Probably not though.

ROFL! Theresa gets dressed for her wedding by sticking flowers into her hair.

What is the point of this dumb private non wedding? Other than to torture me?

I believe this is all a setup to get Clyde and Andre is in on it.
Good theory. Didn't think of that. Would make sense and keep Andre going I guess. Otherwise he's toast.

I think it would explain the overacting if the audience knew what the plan was and the gag was watching the criminals get ensnared in a trap everyone knows exists except them. But since the audience is presumably supposed to be in the dark too, the acting should not be convincing the audience that they are faking everything. There are two big ways to write suspense and whoever is directing the actors should probably have wondered how this was going to payout for the audience. If the acting is a tongue-in-cheek to the audience as well then don't end on the dramatic note.

I laughed at that spit too. The only emotion from Chad that looked a little bit real was his anger when Clyde said Abby was a whore.
JR and TP seemed to compete in a scenery chewing contest while BF and BD looked mostly disinterested and JE seemed to be acting in her own scene with no connection to the other three. The whole thing was a big WTF moment.

Arianne was terrible from start to finish. The director must have been on something, because it's really a weirdly acted episode by everyone. Did they get their scripts just before shootingt? :shrug:

Gawd, this dialogue..

Deimos: I'm sorry, Nicole but this is war and there's always collateral damage.

Is it bad that the most wtf moment actually for me upon review is Adrienne in that pantsuit? Where is she going to be dressed like this? Why would you tie someone up in a pantsuit- that's just rude.

The fake Thrady wedding was one of the worst things I've ever seen. Like, Hope and Aiden's gala and Sami and Rafe's tree wedding levels of cheesy. I cannot wait until these two are no longer a thing.

Andre shooting Chad literally came out of nowhere and it didn't play off well. I also thought Judi Evans was way over the top in those scenes, and I usually enjoy her. The best part of the show was Xander and Nicole snarking at each other, though. They make great enemies.

I think their idea was to have them overact because the characters are not suppose to be actors so they would naturally overact when they're trying to convince the convict that this isn't a set up.

Thank you JCP.

They are over acting, because the viewers already know it is fake per Marlena's plan. Andre is staying in character, maybe because he might really want to get rid of Chad some time in the future, while he waits for Clyde to return from not finding the baby and demand where he is.

I still love Nicole. I really do hope that was a FINAL goodbye to the orange douche boy.
Heh. With the way this show has gone under the last 438097503 writing teams, it's more likely that a few episodes from now she'll be putting Daniel's ring back on and apologizing to his shrine for taking it off to trick Xander. Then everyone will discuss how Daniel is the one responsible for Xander's takedown because no one would visit any other grave during the villains' reign of terror, and because Daniel protected Nicole from the afterlife.

So Eric is really "Eric Brady" to Nicole now? Xander locked her and various other Erics in assorted furnaces of love, so she has to be specific so Xander knows which one she means?

Was it a legal wedding or did they just say the vows
They just said the vows. They aren't legally married yet.
Nothing they do legally or doing right as a couple. That's why they suck together.

I would rather watch 100 repeats of the Restasis commercial than see this weird Thrady shit again. I just... ugh. Why?
