Yeah, it's too bad the production values have gone to shit again. It doesn't bother me nearly as much when the show is good, though. With that said, it would be nice to have awesome production AND writing at the same time, lol! And I think this'll be a good Christmas, as the stories are going to keep going... Christmas 2006 was pretty good, wasn't it? That whole week between Christmas and NYE, as you had EJ taking off, the rape scenario, Hope giving birth, John being shot - good stuff. As for the Christmas episode itself, that seems to draw a blank... I remember Hope giving birth in some warehouse, but that might have been the next week. |

i thought today's show really has the first compelling scenes from chappell. i wasn't watching during her last run, so this is my first exposure to the character of carly. i wasn't at all impressed until today, but i think she did very well in her scenes, as did reckell. for me, it was the best part of the show. kudos to james scott as well, as he played his grief today so much better than he has over the past year. i'm among the posters that really want ej to be in cahoots with anna, and if he is, then the character deserves an emmy for that performance. he truly seemed grief-stricken over sydney's disappearance. i loved his line about wanting the chance to make up for the fact that he threw his kid out on the street. the rest of the show seemed like filler. does anyone really care that mia accepted two invitations to the dance or that arianna and gabi are going to make tamales for rafe and brady? yawn.

I'm not a big fan of his either but I actually liked him on Days and liked that song. That montage was awesome. That whole Christmas episode was. |

Nope. It was last year. In fact, the actual fall happened two weeks prior to Christmas and then he began seeing Zack, who helped him find Theo on Christmas Eve after he ran off. |

Man I'm trying my hardest not to fall for Carly/Bo but those scenes were awesome even though it felt a little too soon for her to be falling in love with Bo again. I have to say EJ is a good actor if he was responsible for Sydneys disapperance.Not really interested in Mias problem of booking two dates for the dance. |

I was thinking the same thing about Ej being a good Actor if he is involved with the kidnapping of Sidney!! |

Dare I say that I liked Mia & Tad? I swear I saw the faintest of sparks of chemistry between them and there was actually some life in Mia's eyes for a change. I like that Tad kid. Can we keep him? |

I'll be looking out for that chemistry because I, too, adore Tad and hope he becomes a bigger part of the teen set. |

Even though I've felt she's been good in the past, today was the most animated I've ever seen Taylor. Her and Tad had a nice chemistry. Not sure if it's a romantic chemistry but I have to admit that Mia and Tad reminded me of 1993 Lumi. I like Tad and wish they had brought him on as Chad. I could buy him and Mia together and he suits the teen group. Casey just looks so out of place. I did like the teen stuff today, as cliched as it was. Dylan's been decent lately. Too little, too late I suppose. You have to love how actors tend to improve after getting axed LOL. CC and PR were amazing. Their scenes were awesome. I just love the progression of this story. Also liked the stuff with Daniel. Loved SC and CC's trivia segment. It's so nice seeing Anna again. I also enjoyed EJ's little breakdown with Arianna and Brady. Scott was good there. Chloe/Nicole scenes always make me smile and it was such a sweet moment when Brady came to see Nicole. |

Do Bo and Daniel know about each other's past flings with Carly? Damn that Bo and Carly scene was INTENSE today. I love all the angst. Enjoyed the scenes with both EJ and Sami freaking out today. This is how EJ and Sami should have been acting all along, not flirting with and sexing up a boyfriend or conducting drug deals, but really looking and acting totally devastated that their baby had been ripped out of their lives and they had no idea if they'd ever see her again or if she was alive. And I thought both AS and JS really brought their A games today. Little Sydney is so divine. I know the music and everything is supposed to give off the creepy vibe with Anna and Sydney's scenes but dammit, the bambino is just too adorable to have me doing anything other than awwwwwwww as she reaches into the little bowl for crackers or whatever to scarf down. And when she was pointing at the picture of Tony and getting tickled. Awww. Anna can have her. That's OK with me. They look happy together. The teen stuff was filler, but I'd much rather them stressing out about a stupid teenage dance than all the dark doom and gloom stuff all the time. |

I don't like the way Anna's referring to Tony in past-tense. There goes my theory that Tony's alive... :( |

I must admit that I cannot be unhappy that Anna has Sydney. She seems to be enchanted with her and LH is doing a great job of handling the twins. I just don't know how DOOL got so lucky to cast such engaging babies. I really hope they stay with the show for a while. Most fans seem to really love watching them. I thought James did a great job today. If EJ is behind the twist in the baby story, he just gave a bravura performance. But he has seemed invested in the search all along, even when alone. But...the revenge overtones of his association with AH make me wonder. He is playing her like a fiddle so far. LOL Oh how sweet it will be when EJ lowers the boom on the high and mighty Brady. Carly is sucking me in. I want her to have Bo. But I'm sure soon she'll be busy with her main mission and the love connection will dissolve. |

I'm excited I'm on Christmas break and can actually comment on the show the same day, not to mention watching it live! So..... 1. OK, Crystal Chappel got to me. Real tears? I could possibly ship Bo and Carly, and I don't think I could ever say that about Bo and Billie. Maybe, just maybe, I could go for Bo with another woman. But, I'm not going to go that route, because my heart will get ripped out just like it did for Shimi, for Phelle, and for Ejole. 2. So, OK, let me get this straight....they sold only one pair of those boots in Salem. However, the kidnapping took place in Cleveland. Is it POSSIBLE Anna, being gone for several months, bought them in another town? OK, I hate to bash Rafe, but in this case, I'm gonna bash Rafe. It looks like, from the previews Spoiler: click to toggle is accused of the misdeed. If I watched the previews correctly. (I'm not sure why I spoilered this, but I don't want Kenny after me!!)3. With the whole Mia/Chad/Will scene, why did I feel like I was watching an old episode of The Brady Bunch? Didn't this SAME thing happen to Marcia? 4. Dang, I think I could love Brady and Nicole. 5. Arianna, Gabby, and tamales....meh 6. I love Anna and Sydney together. Sydney had the greatest little smiles today! Dang, that Sydney has chemistry with everyone. |

The teens were boring today especially since it mostly centered around Mia. I think James was trying to go for the look of a desperate father today in his scenes with Arianna. However, all his jerky and manic movements were very distracting and came off badly. It can't be repeated enough how adorable Sydney is and she seems to be such a happy baby no matter who's with her. I loved the Bo and Carly scenes. Very surprised he called her "Princess" and that Carly admitted she loves Bo. I'm a little concerned Days is rushing things with Bo/Carly. I want them to slow things down. |

I think they are only rushing them if they have them actually get together soon. If they merely admit their feelings or kiss, that is nothing. If they jump in the sack next week, we have a major issue :laugh: . |

Boy, Rafe sure is marking his territory. The "FBI" T-shirt might as well read "Rafe's Girl". When EJ came to Ari's door after Brianna afternoon delight, I couldn't help but think the expression on his face when she opened the door was "I smell sex and candy". James' performance sucked and I died a little watching it, gotta hand it to LH for not laughing. I did feel sorry for EJ because you could see that finding out that Stefano is not behind the kidnapping and thinking some random wierdo has her is making EJ desperately worried and Sami too. I did want to mention from last week the flashback of EJ spitting at Stefano and saying "you are deadth to me" was reeeeeaaaalllllyyyy good, kudos James on that one. Sydney is adorable with Anna too, so cute the way she was sticking her fingers in Anna's face. Leann did a good job of working with her. From the trivia segment it looks like Dr. Dan dyed his hair YES! Bo and Carly were borderline tedious but just when I'm starting to lose interest Bo says that line "I forgot what I was going to say", I thought it was cute. I also liked how Carly started crying and admitted being happy that Bo's marriage is ending. Everyone keeps saying CC is a phenomenal actress but I'm not seeing anything stand out. She's good and I'm liking Carly but nothing like all the raves. I never thought Casey looked terribly out of place with the teen set but with Gabby it was odd. Gabby looks younger than Mia. Enjoyed the Tad scenes, I wish they would stop calling him "T". Glee has Quinn and Finn, they might as well go with it. While it was hokey, I did enjoy the cultural references and the spanish thrown in the scenes between Gabby and Ari. I could do without Gabs but Ari is much more enjoyable in the scenes with her lil sis. As long as the H's are around, it might help if they try to capitalize on the latino angle, especially if they start to flesh out Nicole's heritage a bit later down the road and mesh the Walkers/Mendez with the H'dez.

When Sami was going on and on about what kind of woman would steal a baby away from its mother yadda yadda, did anyone else feel like reaching through the TV to hand Sami a mirror? Has someone reminded her about how she stole her baby sister Belle and tried to sell her on the black market? |
