I thought the teen stuff was really good today. It actually surprised me how much I was into it even without seeing the dance which sadly I knew will happen from the moment I first saw the spoiler. Unfortunatelly, thatīs the reality we have to accept. Still, Iīm totally eating the scenes with Gabby and Ari together, they have such a natural and fun chemistry. And I thought that little slow dance at pier with Gabby and Chad was quite romantic. I definitely could see them together in future except Mia and Chad are obviously still in love with each other. I donīt know why most people here are so hard on Taylor but IMO she was great today. She sold the connection and hurt when she questioned Chad about his date and she had such a bitch face when she first saw Gabby in her dress and Kinsie was all too happy to announce how beautifull she looks. I hope Taylor is saying true and Mia will be a bad girl in future because there is something sinister and snotty in Mia. Sadly, it was also obvious why Dylan had to be let go. Will should thank all his lucky stars he has even a chance to be with someone as beautifull as Mia but he never shows even a hint of interest or jealousy. Instead, he seems to be angry all the time very much like his father. Not the best way how to win a girl. Edited by jane1978, Dec 23 2009, 01:22 PM.

Surprised you are surprised. You really thought they will bring back some gym set and full room of extras to play students we never saw before? It was obvious we will see just them geting ready for the dance and going to the dance but never the dance itself. But maybe in summer. ;) Edited by jane1978, Dec 23 2009, 01:31 PM.

No. I didn't expect them to bring back the gym set, but I did expect them to show the dance at some point. Truth be told, I was half expecting them to decorate the pier all cutesy and have the dance there, LoL. |

The teen scene was OK today. I liked Kinsey's comment that at least Gabi smiles unlike Mia. Those were some nice scenes with Phillip and Justin. It's always good to see Phil interacting with veterans. Nice use of history today with Roman and Anna. I thought they would mention Carrie. Sydney was adorable as always. Brady just can't stop himself from helping Nicole and its going to blow up in his face. I'm liking Ari more and her scenes with EJ have been good. I like her sisterly bond with Gabi. |

What is the big deal about Brady helping Nicole out? I am not even sure I am getting the "he's so in love with her" vibe...more like a pity vibe? I got the impression that ever since the miscarriage, Brady has been a pity friend. Then he was helping find Sydney to help save his ass since he bailed her out of jail. I don't get why Arianna thinks it is so awful for Brady to help Nicole out...Nicole has nobody to turn to! No family or friends! But Arianna thinks it is alright to have pity on EJ? Who a few months ago had Brady beaten up? Does Arianna really feel threatened by Nicole...a crazy, distraught woman who is still married and planning to spend lots of time in prison? That is what has her so worried that she needs to rag on Brady about it? Just a weird mess I am getting from Brady/Arianna. |

Which made me wonder if someone is reading the boards again! I laughed out loud when I heard that. Carrying on to my thoughts on today: The teen stuff is OK. Nothing to write home about. Kinsey is annoying. Reminds me of some of my daughter's friends, who are nicey nice to people's faces, then stab them in the back later. I love Brady and Nicole, no matter how foolish Brady is to help her. *sigh* Justin and Philip were great. OMG, I almost liked Melanie's giddy schoolgirlishness over the ring. Therein lies the problem. "Schoolgirlishness". Oh, well. I will have to admit, they were cute today. I have decided Nicole and Anna need to live together and raise Sydney! :D (JUST KIDDING! I don't want swarms of people hovering over me telling me how horrendous I am to say this!) But, LeeAnn Hunley and Ari Zucker just click so much better with those twins, in my humble opinion. |

They must have gotten a discount on Joker jackets at NBC...Wasn't Ej wearing that same ugly purple jacket a few weeks ago that Brady was wearing today? I thought the show was blah today. I laughed at the wrist bouquet thingy...Will is very old fart. When I was in School the wrist bouquet was popular. It was the horrible big ass bouquet that you pinned on the girl's dress that was OUT...Guess what my hubby gave to me the night of homecoming?...I was too nice to say, "OMG are you effing kidding me?!" I let him pin that ugly shit on my nice, nice dress and hoped the entire night the pin would break under the weight of the ugly thing, so I could say I lost it. Ah, memories. I hate Gabbi. I hate her more then Mia. I want Mia to run Gabbi over. Mia can then go to jail for murder, and then we are free of them both. Chad is annoying. Don't like the guy one bit. Brady is weak and just plain weird. His obsession with Nicole is un-natural and makes no sense...esp when considering their history. But then, look who is writing this show...Same person who made Chloe Nicole's best bud, which is absurd considering Nicole tried to give her the flesh eating virus. LOL Bubble gum blob scars...Good times.They were never the same two days in a row. Justin must have hit the Egg-nog...What a goof. I wanted so badly for Phillip to say, "Hey, you are getting a little loud. Keep the crazy talk down or I am gonna walk away and pretend I don't know you." Edited by Red Mist, Dec 23 2009, 05:47 PM.

EJ got more action from Arianna than he has gotten from Sami in a year. Love it. I guess she doesnt care that EJ had brady beaten up. That sad puppy dog face make her forget all of Brady's warnings. EJ is good. |

As long as she has Cheerios or a necklace to munch on, she's good! She reminds me of baby Claire. Remember how Claire always had cookies? :D |

I like that Brady's not coming right out and admitting his feelings to Nicole. Why should he? She could be going to jail and it would just be pointless. They wouldn't be able to do anything about their love, and he's avoiding the hurt he would suffer to have someone he was in love with in jail. I'm glad that he's claiming to help Nicole because people were there for him when he needed help. Brady's addict past, as pointless and unnecessary as it was, given we saw none of it, is never forgotten and I'm glad that it's brought up a lot. It's now a part of who Brady Black is Great cliffhanger with Nicole recognizing the kidnapper's voice. Nicole and Anna never had that many scenes together, but they had to have come in contact with each other at some time when Nicole was engaged to EJ and Anna and Tony were still living at the mansion. Brady and Arianna just don't do anything for me. Yes, Eric Martsolf and Lindsay Hartley still have the chemistry they had from PSNS, but that's about it. There needs to be something for their characters to click as well and it's just not happening. I was a little disappointed when Anna turned down Roman's invitation to spend Christmas with him. Leann Hunley brings out something in Josh Taylor that not even Lauren Koslow managed to do. I want to see them together and I hope that as this kidnapping storyline heats up more, Roman becomes a bigger part since it's Anna that is the kidnapper. I want some Ronna scenes! I still don't get how Anna taking Sydney is about revenge. Sure, she's getting revenge on Stefano and how he ruined Tony's life as a DiMera, but what do EJ and Sami have to do with that? I mean, EJ and Sami have done plenty of things in their pasts that would make someone feel they don't deserve Sydney, but these things aren't being mentioned. Even if EJ is a DiMera, why is Anna doing this to Sami? Is it to get some sort of revenge for Carrie? That needs to be mentioned as well. I hope more is put into the explanation of her motives and soon. Go Stephanie! Nathan and Stephanie's kiss meant absolutely nothing, but Melanie didn't know that because she just walked in on it. And leave it to Stephanie to lead Melanie to think it meant something more. I love this little sly bitchiness they're bringing out of Stephanie. It must continue if there's any hope for this quadrangle to work, because right now, you have Nathan and Melanie as the money couple, and for the most part, they're pretty much good guys now, even Melanie. Stephanie's a good guy as well. Philip is the only "bad guy" in the equation. I'm not saying to make Stephanie a vixen, but she needs to have some sort of edge to counteract with Melanie if the writers want us to believe that Nathan is going to be torn between the two women. But then again, maybe Nathan isn't torn and will only see Stephanie as a friend. Melanie is the one he wants. Then I would love to see Stephanie continue to make things appear to be more than they are, out of spite and jealousy that Nathan will never see her as more than just a friend and the fact that Melanie has two guys after her. I'm against Philip and Melanie today. It's a shame because it was only a week or two ago that I was finally giving this couple a chance. Unfortunately, the stylist continues to style Melanie to look like she's 16 and it just turns me away from the two. Kinsey is such a bitch. I love it! And T is a great wingman. I hope that the writers continue to use these two in a supporting capacity to the others in the teen set and then, after the audience gets used to them, due to their non-existent connections to anyone on the show, then we can start focusing on them. It'll be like Mimi. She was nothing but a supporting player for most of the high school years. Pretty soon, she was leading the show. It became a mistake and should never happen again, but it did. She came a long way and I hope the same goes for T and Kinsey. I really like Gabi. She can pull off the sweetheart role that's typical in teen stories. Mia can't, so they need to stop making her the ingenue. It's not going to happen. That's now Gabi's role because it works better for her and Gabriella Rodriguez can play it a hell of a lot better than Taylor Spreitler. I don't really see any chemistry there between Will and Gabi right now, but hopefully that will change after the new Will comes on. Rodriguez does share chemistry with Casey Deidrick though, that's for sure. Oh and speaking of Deidrick, I loved Arianna playing the big sister role when Gabi introduced her to Chad. All of the scenes at the pub concerning this bunch were surprisingly well-done. I had to roll my eyes at Chad and Gabi stopping to dance on the pier though. :eyeroll: I'm surprised the actual dance isn't being held there. I could totally see this show trying to pull off a bunch of teenagers willingly braving the cold weather for the sake of the dance. No way! And I totally don't mind us not seeing the dance. I would love to see the teens prepare to go to the dance, and then show them returning from the dance and maybe stopping by the pub for a late night bite to eat afterwards. No need for a set for the dance. |

That kid used to crack me up. But all the cookies in the world couldn't make one of those twins like Martha Madison. One of them would wail everytime Martha so much as looked at her. That was the only entertaining part of the Tinda Lau story. And I would totally watch Anna and Nicole coparent Sydney. |

Kinsey was my favorite out of the teens today, but I can't say I enjoyed the teens all that much. The problem is they are on too much and today was a particularly heavy episode. Mia comes off as a total bitch in such a passive way and doesn't seem at all interested in Will. All of which I guess would ok if maybe we had more insight to her past, as in why did she do an illegal adoption, etc. Chad and Gabby seem odd together and CD as an actor is ok, Chad seems to have a touch of seventies sleeze to him like Larry/Three's Co. Anna as the kidnapper is strange and dumb. I guess they can knock my socks off later but her motives seem to be cruel even if driven by love. Phelony is their usual mess and the engagement ring wasn't too bad, it was sweet. Ari is 100% better when she's not fretting about drugs or her relationship with Brady. I still don't like Gaby but she might be growing on me. |

I'm not interest in anything else on today's episode, but I did love the Justin/Phillip scenes. It was nice to be able to enjoy Phillip for awhile. I wish he could share more scenes with Justin and other vets. Anyway, my heat broke for Justin. Wally was great in showing Justin's sadness, hurt and frustration about what is going on between Justin/Adrienne. I hate Adrienne is shutting Justin out like that. I agree. I wish we got more of him today. Is it asking too much for the show to allow him to talk more about what is going on between him and Adrienne. I want to know what issues is going on between them and the reason why Adrienne wants a divorce. I want that part of Justin's story told on-screen. It drives me nuts that we can't get more about why she wants a divorce. Justin and the fans deserve more to know why she wants it and what is going between them. It's so frustrating. I would have rather have seen Phillip go with Justin to the football game, instead of be wasted on that crap with Melanie. I want more Justin/Phillip scenes. on a very shallow part- Wally/Justin was smokin' hot in today. I loved him in the leather jacket today. I want more Justin in the leather jacket. :) |

Love this idea! And maybe Mia can run over Chad, too...that way she can go to jail twice as long. |
