Loved the Sami and Eric scene as the twins celebrated their crappy birthday. I enjoyed Nicole and Sami, and even though she doesn't deserve it, I really felt bad for Nicole. The Bonnie/Victor stuff was ok (LOL at Maggie snapping her neck at Bonnie), the less said about Andre the better, and I don't mind Kate/Sami being friendly although I prefer for them to be more "fr-enemies". I also loved Jennifer coming to Eric's aid at the end. Finally. Nicole's exit doesn't really feel like an exit, if I wasn't spoiled I would definitely expect her to be returning soon. |

For storyline sake Brady & Eric are in much better places. It's no surprise that I have not been a fan of Nicole for the past year, but I do think that necessary beats were played before she left. While Brady doesn't see this yet he & Nicole were not in love. Nicole recognized this and she spoke truthfully to Brady about it, graditude & friendship do not equal love. This is the main reason why Dena H's pairing of Brady & Nicole didn't work, because her character explaination was weak. Ron C corrected this by acknowledging what many fans already saw. Now Brady can move forward. Also, there was only one way for Eric to go, to admit the level of his love for Nicole. Based on all of his actions since getting out of prision, this was the only way. Otherwise, where ever he went that would still linger. Now he has acknowledged his feelings openly to everyone, especially to Nicole. Now Eric can move forward. Both have to live with what has happened, both broken for different reason's. Brady has to learn that his son needs to come first and that truly being in love is totally different than what he knows. Eric has to learn to get over Nicole & learn to be happy, grow forward. Of course the storylines and brothers will move forward & naturally at some point Nicole will return to blow up their worlds, their brotherhood & their new relationships. |

There's just no excitement , suspense in this Will storyline. I felt nothing as Eric was tearing apart his room but I did like Jen showing up at the end. So Nicole will be back? So that will always be out there when the writers move Eric onto another relationship. I can't get over Ron devoting so much time to Bonnie. It's all just a spoof of a soap and it only makes me miss some good drama from my soap. |

I still miss old school Nicole, but the fact (or so Brady says) that she killed Deimos will forever endear her to me. I wish they had let her get her happy ending and never rowed us down the road of trying to buy this latest inception of Bricole. I personally always enjoyed the Bricole friendship and now they've totally eviscerated it which is horribly upsetting. If they had just had her get over her resentment of Eric sooner, this could have all been avoided. It's not all Ron's fault though...between cleaning up the mess that he was left with and the fact that AZ's beau seems to have issues with her on-screen romance with GV, it was going to be far from perfect. I will miss AZ fiercely since she was always one of my absolute favorites on the show (and always will be) and I hope, in time, that she could feasibly return and be more accepting of finally being with her character's soulmate, Eric. For what it's worth, all three of the characters in this triangle (Brady, Nicole & Eric) have fucked up terribly and I hope that one day they can fix what has been done that has caused irreparable harm to them. |

I've been pretty optimistic since Ron took over, even during the transitional phase, but I have to say I'm ready to voice my first official disappointment from him... and that's Nicole's exit. I think it's pretty dumb to have a character like Nicole Walker leave town defeated like this. It also leaves a big hole in what could be some really good Brady/Eric stuff coming up. Nothing about this exit feels right, but I am so ready for have a break from Nicole. It is way overdue. Andre and Kate were ridiculous (as was their dialogue), but at least it led to Hope and Rolf in a scene together! I can't wait to see more on Monday. Dare I hope that the Hope/Lexie baby switch gets mentioned? I like that Sami and Eric's birthday was actually acknowledged. Did Ali flub one of her lines though? She said that she had been dragging the kids all around the world because of the chance that Stefano was alive, and I'm pretty sure she meant to say EJ. Unless she's still "on the run" from Stefano for stealing all that money? I don't know, but I definitely caught it and thought it was a mistake. Eric and Jennifer! I'm so happy Ron didn't waste time having them interact again. I cannot wait for Monday to see more of them! Bonnie and Victor's wedding was a hoot. Can we please keep Sheila? I was DYING when she started the vows with "y'all" instead of "dearly beloved". Hilarious! And Judi Evans is at her absolute finest as Bonnie right now. I wish there was a way to keep Bonnie and Sheila after this whole mess shakes out, because I love them! |

I agree that Bonnie and Shiela are fun characters. What I don't understand is that no one says anything to Bonnie about the low cut dresses with both breasts hanging out. Didn't she have a breast removed? How stupid are we expected to be? Or should I say how stupid is the writer making everyone around her? |

Hope should have pretended to be Gina again to get the truth from Rolf... She knows him even better than John does |

I'm thinking everyone is scare to believe it's true and get their hopes up, only to be let down. Maybe that'll change next week. |

I was actually kinda looking forward to Sami's visit....but Ali has brought nothing but EVERYTHING that made me grow to loathe Sami - her own personality. That smug wannabe heroine with an edge that she never was. I already can't wait for her to leave |

What would you rather have dickhead, grabby hands Dr. Dan or crotchety woman shaming Victor. Not saying you or even the show but it irritates how young lady's look over good guys to be with men who are tools who are physically or mentally abusive. Oh but they are manly I call bullshit go get your head checked that ain't normal. Sorry rant over. |

I actually feel like J&M have been the only people to consistently say they felt Will was alive from the first day. Everyone else has been back and forth from episode to episode |

The pub scenes both times with J&M, and Roman and Kate were well done. Those been the best so far, IMO. Why hasn't Sami went to see Ari yet? |

That would have been the perfect time to use the little actress. Sigh. These budget cuts. |

2 good episodes this week, Tuesday and this one. I enjoyed Nicole's exit as a fan of the character and her relationship with Eric. Ron did the most of Ari's final weeks and I'm grateful for that. The only thing that bothers me a little is how he wrote Brady and all the Bricole scenes, it makes almost sick. Watching Eric in so much pain broke my heart. Greg Vaughan is so good at playing this tortured soul. I'm happy Jennifer showed up and Nicole sent her. I think she's a good friend for him. And they intrigue me as a couple, I hope Ron tries again with Jeneric while Nicole is gone. I also hope Nicole comes back and her final lines were perfect to give me hope. I enjoyed Sami in this episode with Eric and Nicole. But it's weird to watch her show up in every storyline instead of being really focused on Will. I didn't like her scenes with Kate and Andre. The Bonnie/Adrienne stuff was fine, I laughed a little bit when Brady showed up. This story is less annoying now that it's moving. |

Finally watched the Thursday, Friday episodes. Although nothing was said it's pretty obvious that Victor, Maggie and Justin are playing Bonnie. I don't know if they know she's Bonnie but they definitely know something is definitely not right. Why is Theo acting like a jealous fool. I like that Claire told him that was going to get old fast if he continued on that path. I thought Nicole's last day was kind of anti-climatic. I hope she does come back with Holly just to take down Brady at some point. I don't know why Nicole didn't throw the fact that Brady would end up in prison as well if he turned her in. At the very least he was hindering an investigation ... at the most he's an accessory after the fact. Sami and Eric was uninteresting to say the least. Sami and Kate was okay. Tripp and Kayla had some good scenes. Enjoyed Steve's visit with Hattie. Well hello Dr. Rolf. |
