Today was fine. So I'm torn. The excuse for John not being there was lame. I technically don't really mind him not being there since there was a stripper for his son, but it ended up being weird that he wasn't there, IMO. For one, John/Paul is the main relationship Paul has on this show aside from Paul/Sonny, so it's weird that his one main connection wasn't there. Second, I feel like both John and Marlena rarely get to do anything fun. Marlena got a little bit for S&K's wedding (which felt shoe-horned in). I'm assuming they're saving their episodes for the Will stuff, but it's one episode. They should have just called Abby's party a shower instead of a bachelorette. It's weird. Abby, Claire, and Kayla were dressed for a shower. Hope and Lani were dressed for a bachelorette. Which makes sense with Lani based on what happened. The thing they did with advice was nice in theory, but doesn't really make sense for Abby who has already been married (earlier this day even). It also would have worked better with more women there. MR was in Hawaii when they filmed this. I wish they had just waited. Julie and Maggie should have been there. Bonnie as Adrienne should have been, too, and that could have led to some interesting comments. Marlena, Val, Chloe, and Nicole don't really fit, but I guess they could push in Marlena since she's semi-related to part of the wedding. I guess they could do that with Nicole, too. It just would have been nice with more women, and not as glaring maybe that Abby rarely sees any of those people. Just make it the all women party no matter whose side you're on? IDK. Hope was once again a better human away from Rafe. I might be well on my way to getting over my issues with her. I'd be there all the way if it weren't for Rafe. Andre's party was funny. I really wish he were Tony. It's too late to fix that, IMO, but so much would be better if he were just the right character. Looking out for Theo and fixing his ascot could have even been adorable if he were Tony. The pub party definitely seemed more fun and those actors did relatively well together. I didn't care for JJ/Chad. Has there been a reason for JJ changing his mind about Chad? Abe should have been somewhere. Eli would have fit in at Paul's too. |

Steve and Kayla went from Kayla sleeping at the hospital to Steve being kicked out of the house to Steve moving back home. And we didn't see any of it. Whatever Ron. Sweet opening scene between them. It was nice to see Kayla smile. Steve should have been at Sonnys party. The show should recognize Steve and Jacks complicated history. LOL at Steve not wanting to break a promise to Kayla about smoking cigars Andre throwing a party no one wanted to be at would have been entertaining if it were Tony. Steve's 'its a dude?' made me LOL I liked the game the ladies played at their party. Though I thought Hopes poem seem more appropriate for Kayla Hope was likable today. Rafe was not. "Adrienne" should have been at the party. Miracles to happen. Hope asked about Kayla's life. I'm disappointed that Ron brushed aside all the S/K angst so we're left with Kayla having some resentment over Steve and Tripps relationship. I hope we at least get Tripp having to earn Kayla's trust again. Kayla is subdued and kind of sad so I appreciate that Joey going to jail isn't forgotten because JL is gone.

That stripper was not very good at his job. Andre's party was kind of funny. They were so bored lol. All the parties were kind of dull. I think John should have been at Paul's party. Sonny should have been at Paul's party he is related to Brady, JJ, Steve. |

Oh! And I think the stuff with Claire was cute. Yeah, she's an adult, but in the moment, I wouldn't expect her grandmother to think through that. I actually would have liked if they'd let her have some alcohol in moderation though with a knowing eye roll that she probably drinks when they don't know about it. And while the Claire thing was cute, Abby hiding from the stripper wasn't. |

One more thing. At the beginning of the episode (maybe the first half) I had trouble understanding Abby and Kayla's dialogue. Did anyone else have that issue? |

Just watching the scene with Brady pouring a shot. Is it just me or does the one bottle to the right say Rafael Hernandez? |

Tripp could have replaced Gil at Paul's party at the Pub. It's not like LA doesn't have the body for it. He could said he was making money for bills or school or whatever and maybe even use it as a source of conflict with Steve. Rafe or JJ could have done the tipping instead of Steve. Gil hitting on Paul was unnecessary so that would not have been missed if Tripp had been the stripper. Although Paul getting turned on by Tripp would sort of give Paul a preference for a type of guy as LA and CM are similar, if you retcon CM as Will during his fling with Paul. |

For me, I had a hard time making out Hopes' conversation with Kayla after she got finished talking to Jennifer on the phone. Hope was holding the phone while standing in front of Kayla and she kept turning around looking behind her all the while whispering to Kayla, something about Jennifer saying something about Adrienne at the Spectator. Hope was so annoying because each time she turned around and looked behind, her hair was swaying back and forth in front of her face. Anyone else notice this? |

Oh! I had trouble with that one, too. I had just forgotten it. It seemed a little like they were talking too fast but I think there must have been a sound editing issue. |

I liked this episode. I LOVED Hope outside of the police stuff. I also thought Brady and JJ hiring the male stripper for Paul was hilarious and cute. Andre's party actually had some funny moments, but I just hate Andre. His continued presence in Salem is so glaring. And I'm happy they finally included Ben in another cliffhanger! Unspoiled viewers are going to freak. |

Oh, and I thought Abby running away from the stripper was a little odd considering she dated an actual stripper. I feel like KM's Abby would've helped the stripper take off his clothes, lol. |

I have hard time figuring out why JJ was at Paul's party instead of his cousin Sonny's. Also, JJ was and will be again related to the DiMeras. I thought Andre's party was fine. Why leave there to go play cards at the pub when Andre' suggested they do the same? :shrug: Besides the braised duck sounded delightful. :wub: There's no way I would have passed that up! The guy that played Gil sucked as a dancer. Part of me was hoping Derrick would be Paul's stripper but that would not be appropriate since Paul dumped him twice. It be out of character for Derrick to proposition Paul since he knows how much into Sonny he is. Well at least we now know who Paul spent time with offscreen when Sonny was gone. I was hoping that guys would draw straws to determine who got to tip the stripper and have Rafe be the chosen. He's such a stick in the mud so that would have fun to watch. Steve's super-confident when it comes to his sexuality so was no surprise that he'd go with it. We should have seen Brady and JJ tipping Gil too since they hired him. :tounge: Abby was such a prude about the stripper. Maybe some of the other ladies in attendance might have appreciated Gil's talents? Speaking of attendance, there were far too few women at the bachelorette party. MM did look good today. KA needs to eat a lot more. She is way too thin for a woman of her age just like Susan Lucci. Edited by seanny, Sep 28 2017, 03:54 AM.

I don't care if we've not seen Salemites hanging out together before, they could have had a bunch of them at these "parties".... Why was Gil surprised it was Paul when he took off his catchers mask? Catcher, wink wink....... He could SEE Paul!! LOL Abby covering her eyes at the sight of the mostly clothed stripper is the same chick that boinked EJ in a supply closet and in the shower at his gym. Lame... That innocent ship sailed long ago. :blulaugh: Best part of this episode was Ben eating a tator tot, or chicken finger as it were....... |

Not only that; Abby hired the stripper for Hope's party for her wedding to Aiden, she tried to sleep with married Austin, and had a fling with engaged EJ. Marci's Abby couldn't be more dull if tried. |

I just went to NBC.com to look for today's episode, and the most recent one posted is last Friday's. Anyone know anything about this? They're usually up by 6 pm PST or so. And it's exceptionally irritating because the show gets cut into or pre-empted for me at LEAST once a week at this point... |
