i actually really like Jen's hair in that scene where she's creepily looking down at something then up at Daniel (back & forth).

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
Granted I didn't pay attention to Eric and Nicole back in the day, so I'm not good on their history, but to me, for a couple to work really well and be that kind of epic soapy love story there has to be a foundation of trust and belief and love that belies the kind of doubts Eric has about Nicole. For example, even when Marlena thought John Black was Stefano, she still wanted him. Even though she believed he was the man who killed Roman she fought those feelings like mad, and even kissed him.
Yes, but John and Marlena were regular people. Eric is a priest. He's not there yet. Having a loving relationship isn't something on his mind. You're trying to jump to what will be the eventual end of the story.
I don't think I am. These two aren't strangers who just met. They actually had a romantic relationship, didn't they? She hasn't only known him as a priest. Maybe if Eric didn't know her from the past and if he were a new character, but he's not. Like I said, I don't know their history well at all. But to me, his mistrust and doubts doesn't say true soap soulmates. But that's totally an objective thing I guess.
I think that layer is there to cause him to doubt his role as priest.

AZ told us in ATL that tptb wouldn't have Nicole be the cause of Eric leaving the priesthood. This way it really isn't her, it's him. It's his quick to judgement reaction, his unwillingness to forgive her & I think he's going to have issues with Brady & possibly Marlena too.

I think this has the potential to be the best story TomSell has ever done. And I'm not hating all their stories, I think they're doing okay with several of them. But this has the potential to put them all to shame. NW, I don't know if TomSell or NBC will get some wild hair & screw it up going forward but as for now, the set up is as about as good as I've seen in ages.

Neither Eric nor Nicole are the bad guys, Kristen is. And having said that, the ONLY reason I want her to get caught is for Ericole to get to the next phase of their story. ED makes me want Kristen to get away with stuff too just because she's so messed up & never really got to get the guy...but that's a whole other subject.

If Ari doesn't get an Emmy this year there is no justice in the universe.
Well, KA hasn't gotten one. Not even so much as a nomination. What does that tell you?

A bit off topic here but I forgot to add in my previous post there was a grown up dressed up as Electra Woman and a little girl as Dyna Girl on GH today. And they had a little girl in a corn costume a la Children of the Corn.

Speaking of Electra Woman, I loved her attitude with Anne today. Go Marlena!

There are times I really wish for some consistency from the Days writers. In JJ's daydream today Jennifer was yelling at him for leaving Theresa after her OD. But, he left her in the care of Daniel, a doctor, which is what Jennifer was all upset about at the beginning of the episode. And I'm relieved Nicole's the one who overheard JJ and Daniel's conversation. I was really afraid it would be Anne.

Today's episode was hugely entertaining for me thanks to the Nicole/Eric and Anne/Daniel fights. One was full of awesomeness and the other featured Anne speaking some long overdue truth to Dr. Sleaze. On top of that Victor was around, snarking like usual, and Marlena found the flash drive. This was easily the best episode of the week.

At this point the wedding attendees are Sami, EJ, Eric and Dan, right? Lame. I guess the Bristen wedding will not be as well attended as the EJami engagement party...

I am sick of Nicole putting herself down. Today she even called herself a slut. Eric is being an ass, sorry, not at all priest-like. I had high hopes for Ericole, but I'm really not feeling this storyline right now…

I do, too. I think the one they did a couple of years ago was well received. I always like it when soaps include holidays ( not just Christmas) in their episodes.

Well, KA hasn't gotten one. Not even so much as a nomination. What does that tell you?
That Kristian doesn't submit material every year. it's hard to be nominated when you don't submit. Winning Emmys is not important to her. There are some that can't not submit material each year, because they're hungry for recognition and the perceived prestige that comes with being an Emmy winner. Sure, when she's got material she feels is worthy of submission, she submits.
Also, the award nominations have always been skewed because the networks that have more shows get more votes (or something like that). Those that vote don't necessarily vote for the person they feel had the best submission. Sometimes they may vote for someone because they like them better, or for some other reason.
At the end of the day, regardless of her lack of Emmy wins (or nominations), Kristian is highly respected in the soap community as a whole. Outside of some media people who put personal agendas in front of their jobs as reporters/interviewers/etc., no one dislikes her, and no one actively tries to avoid interviewing her. (hell, even those with personal agendas have had moments where they couldn't not admit that she did something good or looked fabulous.)

Blame Bristen for deciding to get married while Ciara's in NYC with her grandparents (or grandfather & aunt. lol).

I liked it when Wilson dressed up in silly costumes - it was a rare moment when they were just shown having fun and liking each other. Holidays provide opportunities for those kinds of moments.

This show confuses me.

They can do such good things sometimes, but then they fail on the simplest points. Theresa overdoses and the show doesn't show us one scene of the Bradys rallying around her. Not one. How stupid is that? What? They can't give Caroline or Kayla or Roman or Hope (or any combination thereof) a few minutes with a member of their FAMILY? Someone whose life happens to have been in jeopardy?

Why not? Because it might take a few minutes of screen time from Daniel and Jennifer's juvenile attachment?

Sorry. Days flunks in that respect this week.

Don't forget Theresa gazing beatifically at Daniel. That was VERY important! Seriously, Aunt Kayla could have stopped by.

GMAB. This woe-is-me act from Nicole is getting SO boring and tedious. Tell Eric off, disown him, and be done with it and start your glorious new life! Eric already said he's not gonna tell anyone.

Eric's lines today and/or GV's acting, whilst normally pretty good, was somehow so off the mark. Traumatized or not, there is no way Eric the man OR Eric the priest would just jump on Nicole like that. It was ike a dummy. He would at least ask questions as in why, when, how, details. There's just no way he would just accept that at face value, especially from some clerk. Bad writing.

LOL @ Marlena's sheer GLEE at finding that flash drive! Oh, you just wait, you're not gonna be laughing for long! Bwahhahaa! She looked great in that pantsuit! Can't wait for Kristen to get there and confront her! Let the fireworks begin!!!

Ah this is getting so good, can't wait! I so would have LOVED to see Kristen get her happy ending, but I'll get all the fireworks I can get!!! BWAH!

Hope, you bitch! She deliberately sent her out of town so she couldn't be at the Bristen wedding! How dare you deny Ciara of her Kristen fangirling when that was the best thing she had going for her! And hated her acting all smug and sanctimonious in front of Brady.

She looked good tho. Bitch!

BWAHHAAH @ Victor's crankiness! Plus didn't you just love it when Mags walked in, demanding to know what was up! I hope Vic cheats on her - with MAR!!!

Can't believe how GOOD Jennifer looked today. LOL! Her hair was fabulous!

Abby looked great in her up-do aswell! Quite becoming! And I love the idea of her staying single right now.

The Daniel/Thereannie schtick is just zzzZZZzzzZZZ.............. Coma alert!
I know, right? Jennifer's gorgeous! It's hard to believe Daniel let her go... :shame:
