I'm definitely in the minority here because I wasn't feeling the Brady/Black siblings scenes, largely because I've never seen them as such over the years. It makes sense for Sami and Eric to have those moments, just not with Brady thrown in there for good measure.
I wasn't feeling it either. A lot of that feeling, though, has to do with my horror whenever AS tries to act cute and frazzled. I just want her to stop. The hiding-the-ring-moment could have been endearing with any other actress. In general I haven't registered the best sibling chemistry between any of them, but I know I am for sure in the minority on that one, and I am probably just a grumpy pants.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
Agreed! Maybe this Thanksgiving he'll have something to do besides trying to steal cookies.
No one does mean and nasty like Victor does mean and nasty, not even Stefano. FREE VICTOR (from Maggie)! FREE VICTOR'S BALLS! RESTORE VICTOR'S SPINE!
Victor and Kate need to reunite! They are both, at their core, selfish and meddling villains! FREE VICTOR!
This really can't be said enough. Though I loved Maggie and Victor in 2010/2011, they just don't work anymore. Kate and Victor are perfect for one another because they both love being in control and aren't afraid to do whatever it takes to get what they want. They had a nice little moment a couple of years ago when they said how unfortunate it was that Brady had a conscience (it may have related to Vivian or something).

Though I do feel bad for Marlena, I can see why Victor acted the way he did. It was totally in character for him.

Add me to the list, it just doesn't ring true, fake imo

I don't understand the claims that the Brady/Black bonding scenes came out of nowhere. Brady and Sami have been acting like close siblings since the Madison days and Tomsell have continued to play up that bond. Admittedly the Mad World story wasn't that long ago, but it's not totally recent, either. And of course Brady and Eric have been bonding and talking about growing up together all year long.

I don't think they have the sibling chemistry to sell the bond they are supposed to have.

I liked the dynamic of Hope and Jen. First Hope, pretty solemnly and not altogether happily watching Kristen walk down the aisle, then turns Jen who looks like it's the best thing since pot donuts.

Yeah, it's not that I think the Brady/Black/Brothers and Sisters scene came out of NOWHERE, exactly. I just don't buy into them as siblings. It's not heartwarming or cute or natural or something I am all that interested in. As I said, grumpy pants.

And perhaps the fact their bonding is a relatively newish development keeps me at bay, slightly. It's a purely emotional response - I just wasn't a fan of the scene.

Oh. I meant to ask...did I miss something or forget something somewhere where EJ doesn't like Eric? I'm not referring to him keeping the secret. I'm referring to him talking about knocking him off his pedestal. I don't remember being aware that he had an issue with Eric. I have a vague memory of something a while back, but I didn't remember it being a big deal.
I'm only guessing that it's because of Nicole. Even though EJ is crazy about Sami, maybe it doesn't sit well with him that Nicole is working with Eric knowing their history. A bit like Sami still caring abot Rafe and Lucas. Both EJ and Sami are posessive people.
He used the word pedestal which is the same thing he told Sami when she was going on about her hero worship of him, I don't think he likes that.
I agree. The fact that he used the same word that he had used with Sami just hours before made me think that he was a little jealous of Sami's hero worship of her brother. I honestly saw no sign that he cares about how any of this will affect Nicole.

The Dimeras however no matter how much time apart or short time together have it IMO (well except for the times EJ's sisters look like they want to make out with him :blulaugh: )

you mean, ESPECIALLY those times! I just want more of EJ and Kristen (which is saying a lot, as I usually want to give BACK the moments of EJ I've had to sit through).

Whatever. I boil today's entire episode to one thing: Marlena fumbling with electronics like my mother would have in her place. It was uncanny. The woman can barely plug her phone in the charger.
I find it really funny because several years ago, Deidre said outright that she doesn't do technology (this was like 10 years ago), and there are several parts of Deidre in Marlena. I just found it funny, because that's how I imagine she fumbled around before she learned a little.

Sami was dressed for a hooker's funeral.
Considering the way Marlena's going to want to bury Kristen... it kind of is ;) :drunk:

I also liked when Victor told Marlena behind the curtain to "just handle it".

I wanted Marlena to say "Its handled!!" Shades of Oliva Pope!

RIP MarVic. The alliance is dead. The asshole ripping will soon be upon us...
Oh, that would have been so epic! "It's handled." And esp if she hissed it ;)

I sure hope that's not the case, because that is stupid and a little pathetic.

I don't think it came out of nowhere at all. I do think that one of the actors was cheesetastic (I just tried to fix the spelling on this because a red line came up, lol) and killed any chance of it looking like natural chemistry.

I hear ya! When EJ is not with Nicole, I find him useless. I did enjoy him with Kristen today though. They really seemed like a couple ready to kiss when he was sitting on the desk and she was in front of him. And I gotta say, I love when he lies to Sami! She deserves it!

I'm glad it will be over. Their scenes were enjoyable but I think Marlena should never be buddy buddy with Victor.

The Brady/Sami/Eric scenes were sweet. I would have loved it... If only they had ever acknowledged that they were any kind of siblings in the past twenty years.

I had to laugh when Victor called Marlena... and had the sex tape playing in the background! :lol:

But they didn't grow up together, that's why it came off so fake to me.

What cracks me up is that Brady seems older than the other two.
