I wonder who Hope see's. Maybe Rolf?
Sheila is in the credits and hasn't been seen yet this week, so she's a good bet.
There also a Voldemort spoiler: Hope gets a visit from Andre, who reveals important information.

It's weird to read that this is Nicole's last day, we have known for so long that she was leaving and now that it's there I almost can't believe it. I think Arianne Zucker is a terrific actress. I will miss her scenes with Greg Vaughan and with John Aniston the most.

I hope this episode is decent. The rest of the week has been a mix of mostly boring, weird, and stupid. I was really hoping that the wedding and/or search for Will stuff would be the story that would really turn the show into high gear, but so far it's been a big disappointment. It feels...half-baked or something, which is weird since they've had plenty of time to flesh stuff out in all of the filler episodes.
It's the budget.

The wedding episodes were good because they spent a little extra money and took the time to make sure everything looked right and played well. They can't afford to do that for more than a handful of episodes throughout the year and it really affects the stories. Most of this stuff reads well on paper but when you see it on screen -- the tiny, generic, repurposed sets; the boring, safe camera work; the shitty background music; the one-take scenes that really should've been re-shot; the lack of extras in scenes that need extras for a sense of energy and realism. Add it all together and everything comes across as cheap, no energy, lethargic, Dollar Store thrown-together-in-a-second soap opera.
Exactly. Money is the main reason the show is so bad. But I still think a little imagination would help. I see no evidence of that at all.

Watching the older shows makes me want to cry for the lack of care that goes into the show today. Sets can be made to look different by set dressing and different camera angles but we get recycled crap every single day. The glaring cheapness takes away so much from the stories. So many floating people with no home is so very sad.

Still I want the show to survive and do well.

As for today's show I am happy it is Nicole's last. She wore me out. Though many times in the past I hated what she did, I loved watching her do it. She was funny, sad, smart and mostly always entertaining. Since Nicole's "reformation" I have hated her and not enjoyed her one bit. Even the Ericole reunion, which should have been a good payoff was awful, rushed and ruined Eric in the process. Good riddance to Nicole. Maybe some new girl will come along who loves martinis and causes tons of trouble.

Could we please, please have the Adrienne story solved without Victor stuck like gorilla glue to Naggy? She is another ruined character. I shouldn't hate her. She is great as an aunt, a sponsor and a sounding board. As a snotty, do- gooding, know-it-all rich witch, she makes me ill. And Victor being sweet is just wrong. He should only have occasional moments of softness.

Will Ron have a cliffhanger today? Hope so.
