I want Robert Scott Wilson to stay. Or at least come around more frequently. Great show and I am going to hurry tomorrow to run all my errands so I can see it live! |

Finally watching. I actually am liking this Abby-in-her-head bit. I think it might be a little too long, but this is the only time to do it. Right when she first sees him and no one else has explicitly identified him yet. It makes sense she'd be afraid she was going crazy again. Really good use of slow-mo too. |

I don't know how to explain it. Deirdre Hall says more with one eyebrow than Camilla does with a sentence of dialog. I felt no urgency from her. And with her being the one that found Will, and she loved Will...it was just weak, I thought. |

Rob Wilson is doing a good job of keeping this tense. |

Oh man! They acknowledged that Sonny and Ben were friends! Yay! Ben is talking to Sonny like he really knows him. I was not expecting that conversation to sound that way. Marlena's shaky voice though. Oh Kate too! That was good. |

I really loved this episode. It felt so soapy and full of drama that it kept my interest. I would have liked to see Marlena and Kate come together as Will's grandmothers and lean on each other for support. Hopefully that will still happen once the search begins. The way Paul seemed to want Sonny to forget about Ben's words and resume the wedding felt very strange to me. I almost suspected Paul of having something to do with Will's death for a hot minute. I don't know if that was intentional or not but it raised a possible avenue for the story to develop further. MM is better when she's acting angry and I just want her to be like this all the time. I liked that Maggie urged Bonnie to go check on Sonny. I'm kind of tired of Maggie and I don't know what she brings to the scenes other than serving as someone that humanizes Victor, but I'm liking that she's on Bonnie's case and taking her to task. I hope the rest of the week has episodes this good or better! |

I had that same suspicion about Paul! And then I thought, nah...no freaking way. But wouldn't THAT be a helluva story. |

I thought the same thing about Marlena and Kate. There's a spoiler for them (with John and Roman) for next week, so it does happen, but I think it would have been nice today.Not having it didn't take anything away from the episode, but it is kind of strange that the three people present who were closest to Will didn't interact with each other at all. |

The unintentional comedy of the episode was FS' walk down the aisle. It looked weird. As if FS didn't know whether to run or walk dramatically down the aisle, so he power walked. I don't know how to describe it. :laugh: |

That was good, I watched everything. Granted, it was all the same story, but still. The WilSon flashbacks were well done and really made me sad because it was all stuff from when I still really liked them. Freddie did not impress me as much as I was expecting him to based on some other's comments, but there were a couple crucial moments he got right and I guess that's enough. |

Oh, this is mostly unimportant but I liked the way Ben was slumped over with his head on the table when Sonny walked in. I don't know. He's both crazy and desperate. That seemed equally weird and defeated, which was appropriate considering he didn't think he was going to get to talk to Sonny. |

I was thinking too that Paul was acting very strange today, not wanting Sonny to talk to Ben. I was like No. He won't do that. But it would make great tv. |

Glad you guys mentioned this. That was the glaring missed opportunity in this episode. They were all there. How interesting could it have been for Kate to gasp and turn to John and have John comfort both Marlena and Kate! An interesting sidenote, ya know. Everyone will get the moment they need soon, but even just a moment between Kate and Marlena would've been cool. |

I wouldn't want my fiancé anywhere near the man that killed his partner either! That's why today was so cool. I was team Paul, team Sonny AND team Will. What a web we weave! 😉 |

I wonder how Ben found out about a wedding that was planned in a few days (at least it felt like a few days). Especially if he was strapped down to a gurney for who knows how long. And I also wonder why he waited for this wedding to spill the beans about Will when it was such a spur of the moment event. How long has he known Will’s “alive”? I dunno, a lot of this wasn’t making much sense. I felt that the Abby dream or whatever was so out of place. I think it would have worked better for me if she’d had it before or after the wedding. Or maybe just not included at all. I thought Sonny’s big speech to Ben was odd. He went into a lot of stuff that seemed way too personal that the writers had him say just so it would cause Paul to feel bad. So it felt contrived to me. I get it, Paul is suppose to realize Sonny is conflicted now so when Will comes back we have an instant triangle. Everything’s in place, thanks Sonny, even though you have barely thought about Will. |

I thought that was just me. It was frustrating cause I thought the emotion was there, I just couldn't understand a word she was saying. I wish someone would tell MM cause this isn't the first time. |

Ben is such a great villain, RSW was amazing today. So much fun to watch, he was the best part of the episode. |

Damn, the Will & Sonny flashbacks made me emotional. Tying them in with Abby's vows was genius. I'm so glad I decided to start watching again for Will's return, today's episode was really, really good. |
