Ron is so much like James Reilly, he's just not that far out there. Who knows, if he had permission,.he may go just as wacko. I'll say this, I like the drama and love the fact that I can laugh again. Hattie and Bonnie are GREAT comic relief. If Dee, Judi or both both of them don't get nominated for a Daytime Emmy I'll flip out. They have earned it. Today was.....solid. The kiss was pure Sami...never letting go of a grudge. The only thing I hate is Theo and Clarie. On a scale of 1-10 their chemistry registers at a -15. It's just frustrating to watch. 'As for Maggie suffering, BRING IT ON! I've wanted her to suffer like this since egg baby. |

The Sami kiss played like I originally assumed it would. Ali's interview really screwed that up for me. I don't get why she thought it would come across like Chad just reminded her of EJ. And that last line of yours is one of my issues. I don't believe Maggie IS suffering. |

I couldn't stand to watch Bonnie before. I think it was because she was around Mimi. This time I know she is heading for a big fall. :yahoo: Welcome to the board!!!!!!!!!!! :welcome: Edited by bygnedys, Oct 19 2017, 09:58 PM.

I missed the last five or so minutes because the online player keeps glitching out. But I don't care 'cause man...this episode sucked. So the kiss was payback for the EJ/Abby thing? Uh, okay. All of the other DiMera scenes sucked today, too. Abby's "do it for me" to Andre made me gag. The Bonnie stuff was beyond stupid. It feels like Maggie, Victor, and Justin are playing Bonnie based on their reactions, but I don't think they're supposed to be. I think it's just bad acting. What was up with the camera in some of those Steve/Hattie scenes? They kept going back and forth from Steve's face to Hattie's face. I thought I was going to get motion sick. Kayla's dress looked even worse today when I got to see more of it. What in the world was that pattern/design? Just bizarre. The Tripp stuff is boring. There's an opportunity for drama, and they're not using it. Claire and Theo... :yawnz: |

What was with that camera direction. It made no sense. They should have A.S. direct it, it might have been better. |

I haven't watched it yet, but maybe they're trying to save by not using two or more cameras constantly.

I believe they usually use three. There's a notation when a fourth camera is used in scenes, so I assume 3 is the norm. They only do one take, so I don't think you could do it with just two cameras. You need a close-up of actor 1, a close-up of actor 2, and a full shot all going at the same time. Edited by Jason47, Oct 19 2017, 10:38 PM.

Why did Justin then, if he knows it’s Bonnie, call Marlena because he was concerned about Adrienne? And why didn’t he just tell Patch and Kayla instead of sending Patch to see Hattie? |

At least Reilly gave you as much if not more romance, drama and angst than the campy stuff. RC seems to prefer writing the camp, maybe because he doesn’t know the established characters and couples. |

I was hoping Marci would step up her game and show some fiestiness in scenes today. Her acting was beyond dead inside, ho hum no big deal you just kissed my husband. The writing wasnt very good eithedr but was at least hoping Abby would smack back Sami as Sami smacked her after learning of the affair. I usually dont see MM as terrible but all her scenes today were just baaaaaad. |

IMO, I liked how she under played her scenes today in comparison to AS who was also toned down. I think if she got all finger pointy I would have hated it. I think it worked fine the way it played out sans the awkward kiss. Sami got her dig in, but didn’t get much of a reaction from Abby which she shouldn’t have. Edited by funone, Oct 20 2017, 03:47 AM.

There have been a lot of mentions of EJ, I wouldn’t be surprised if he pops up again during RC’s tenure. |

You gotta hand it to Abby, she has a way with getting ALL Dimera men to do just about anything. She’s like a snake charmer ;) |

After looking at the Tripp/Kayla scenes I hope they can get back to being supportive of each other, because I really do like MBE/LA in scenes together. I really think they should have cast him a couple years back to play Joey, because his onscreen presence with SN/MBE seem very natural. |

Surprisingly, I enjoyed the scenes with Bonnie/Victor/Maggie/Justin in this episode, it's obvious that they are playing Bonnie and I'm a little bit excited to watch her plan blow up in her face now. I also liked the scenes at the prison, Hattie with Adrienne and with Steve. Nice cliffhanger with Adrienne calling Justin while he's with Bonnie. The little thing I found ridiculous is that Steve should have heard Adrienne yelling his name, he had just passed through the door. They really should reshoot stuff like this because it looks stupid. I didn't care for the stuff at the DiMera mansion at all and I wasn't moved by Sami talking to Will either. I'm really disappointed by this return so far. It's hard for me to feel connected to her. I liked the Tripp/Kayla scenes, it's been 2 months since he attacked her so I'm fine with Kayla being ready to give him another chance, I also like that she's not over what happened yet and that there's still some tension. I don't even know what Theo and Claire talked about in this episode, I only remember them kissing on the couch. Boring. |
