Lawrence used that word in one of those flashbacks when he was plotting to kill Carlys daughter.It means having an affair or cheating.I'm suprised Kate mentioned that word though. |

Absolutely loving EVERYTHING Vivian and Carly! They are just what this show needed. A breath of fresh air. It's being played just right. I love it. However, Gabi is the worst. OMG. KILL HER! |

I thought CC did a great job conveying Carly's panic and terror, tears and all. Her acting struck me as painfully genuine and not at all OTT. The emotions themselves made perfect sense (she's a mother!) and bode well for her relationship with (hopefully) Melanie. It promises to be an intense mother-daughter relationship. As for the kiss, Bo admitted to Carly last week that she's not the only one whose been struggling with old feelings so it's not exactly coming out of the blue. Importantly, it was not premeditated. He was caught up in the emotion of the moment. The talk of Hope laying a smackdown on Carly is curious given that Bo is the one who initiated the kiss. |

Well beyond that... cuckolded means embarrassing/humiliating your significant other with your affair/cheating. I didn't mind Kate using the word. In fact, I liked it. It's not like she isn't an expert in seeing her sons cuckolded at this point. |

specifically, it's when a wife cheats on her husband, and the humiliation on the husband's part that stems from that behavior. i learned in a college lit class that the etymology of the word comes from the cuckoo bird, since the birds lay their eggs in other birds' nests, essentially tricking the other bird into raising the cuckoo's offspring as its own. |

I had typed up this big long post about yesterday's episode, but the internet ate it, so suffice to say, the teens made me want to ram an ice pick into my head, and I enjoyed Bo/Carly/Justin/Hope and Kate/Vivian/Melanie. |

I agree that the teens are just plain bad. If Days wants to go for the young crowd, I'd rather Days take their airtime and give it to Sydney and Johnny. Those kids are adorable. We haven't seen much of Allie so showcase her more as well.

I was just going to post on that. She did totally lie. Bo and Carly weren't even standing next to one another, they never spoke or anything. Jeez Hope making mountains out of mole hills. I can't handle it. Get a handle on your insecurity and grow up!!!! |

The teens annoy the hell out of me. And how does trying to reach the teen market fill any demographic anyway...most teens are at school during airtime. I know when I was a teen watching Days, it wasn't the teens I tuned in for. I tuned in for Carly / Bo and Marlena / John / Isabella. Get rid of the teens and bring Deidre and Drake back. TPTB need to get a clue. |

Every episode with Rafe getting a new offscreen lead (or multiple leads within single episodes) that he is super excited about until after the commercial break when he finds out it didn't pan out is getting kind of old. Yay. EJ's grey pants are back. :wub: What's with Sami wearing scarfs indoors all the time now though. Does she have hickeys they're trying to cover up or something? Looks like Ari has one too. Anyway, Sami sure is pretty ridiculous not reading the note at all or giving any thought to what might happen to Sydney if they do not heed the Sydnapper's warning about keeping this thing quiet. Her insistence on telling Rafe was one thing, but telling Stefano? WTF? And I agree with EJ that it seems like she is more concerned about the possibility of keeping a secret from her boyfriend (who keeps a TON of secrets from her and she has no problem with that) than the consequences of what could befall Sydney if she doesn't keep her mouth shut. As if Sami Brady doesn't have a million years of experience with keeping secrets from a man she's screwing? :eyeroll: Yay for Hope finally having some justification for her bitchiness so I can enjoy it. It is kind of interesting though how KA played Hope's reaction to breaking a picture frame or just fighting with Bo would reduce her to tears yet catching Bo in the act and she's not tearful at all but just righteously indignant and pissed off. I think it's because there's a part of Hope that as much as she truly did want to get back together with Bo, she's secretly glad she saw him cheating because it lets her be right (or at the least, feel in the right) about Carly and everything. Don't care about Gabi the nerd or Mia the random hater of Carly Manning. Ewww and they're forcing us to see them in the trivia too? Gross. And guess everyone is going to work at the hospital now? I don't get though what purpose her competition as a dueling candy striper with Gabi serves though when if her goal is to get back/keep Chad. Why wouldn't she want to keep working with Chad at the coffee shop? Oh and I have to say this epi only served to make me like and have sympathy for Mia's real mom, wherever she is. Selfish bitch is right! Anyhow, clearly, based on this epi we are supposed to think Carly is Mia's mom. Whether her brat is Mia or Melanie, at this point, I don't care because I am SICK of the bullshit red herrings. Viv-Carly confrontations are fun, but I'm ready for another real scare to happen again and less of this talking and taunting back and forth. Losing interest in the Phil/Mel/Nathan saga real quick... |

I agree. Bo and Carly, and Victor to a point, seem to be the only ones that seem to know how threatening Vivian is. For the most part, they are the only ones that were there during Vivian's threatening days. Kate feuded with Vivian well after Vivian became comedic relief. Hope met her around this time as well. So to them, she is just an annoyance because they don't know the Vivian that buried a bitch alive, the Vivian that shot a man in the back and then walked over his body to cheerfully greet her nephew. |

they really need to change some of the rafe dialogue, or just freaking hire him back at the fbi. i mean how many favors can rafe be owed at this place? i guarantee he's called in a hundred since he debuted. |

Okay. I love me some Kristian Alfonso, but after today's episode I have to wonder whether she's been taking night classes at the Drake Hogestyn School of Eyebrow Acting. |

She's been doing the for years if not decades. It used to be one of my favorite parts of the show. |

Ugh! I can't stand Hope's one eyebrow thing...it is so sharp and pointy and it drives me nuts. I have hated it for years, and i used to laugh at it even moreso than DH's. Just want to shave it off! And I haven't seen the show, but if Hope barges in and starts giving Carly shit, I think I will have to flick it off! This is what happens when you treat your husband like shit and blame him for all of your problems and leave him...and a pretty former flame comes back and treats him like a grown man. I don't blame Barly for smooching...glad Hope got to see it. Now either fight for him or get off the pot! |
