That Ava is such a loon!! She should get a room right next to Ben and maybe Bummer when we get her made up back story. |

Seriously. This Jennifer/Eric story looks like a C story at best. I was looking forward to it. :glare: |

I liked today's episode. In fact, I've been enjoying this entire week. Obviously, there are still issues and some Higley stuff is still being burnt off but it feels like the entire show is Josh now and any stories that aren't his he is at least trying to make them work. It really does suck we had the Higley derailment of the past few months because right now feels alot like the first month of this regime when things were happening out of nowhere and with no buildup. Back then, it was because the show was trying to set up the anniversary and November sweeps and now they are trying to get rid of the garbage Higley came up with and trying to get back to the stories they were telling before and trying to start new stories as well. It's unfortunate but I will give Josh a pass here because I am interested in alot of this. I don't mind aging up the teens to around 17-18. I just wish they had done that to begin with. It was already jarring enough aging them but to age them twice in a few months is just sloppy. Unless this was another issue related to Dena and Josh clashing, which I doubt, but who knows. I don't mind this though because outside of Claire, none of the actors or actresses in this teen scene look their respective ages. Sorry but I can't buy VJ or KP playing a 16 year old Ciara or Theo and JL as Joey is hard to deal with as 16 as well. The last blast teens worked in their respective ages because the actors and actresses looked those ages Storms was actually 15/16 when she started. Cook and JKJ both looked younger than they were. NB was really the only one I couldn't buy as 16. All the other supporting teens were older but either could be made to look younger or weren't on enough to matter. You either cast 15/16 year olds or cast actors or actresses that look younger. IMO it just takes you right out of a scene to see someone in their 20's who looks their age playing a 16 year old. I'm already having a hard time seeing Joey with Jade. I like the actress playing Jade so far but she looks like she is at least 5 years younger to him to me and it hurts the scenes. They either have to make her look older or make him look younger. I think they tried that with him early on and it didn't work. I'm guessing they may have aged the teens again because of the darker stories fearing the backlash they will get will be worse if they are all set at 15/16. I don't think it makes a difference because the backlash will and is the same. I just like that we got an actual party today with drinking. It was the most realistic I've seen the teens as opposed to that lame New Year's Eve deal they had. Not saying I endorse teenage drinking because I don't but we all know it happens and if your going to play all of this realistically, it should be included. Only thing I wish they did today was avoid showing the room the party was in. The show is on a budget. I get it. I know they can't have a hundred extras. However, you can make the party give off the appearance that it's packed if you use more closeup, tight shots and avoid showing the entire room. They didn't do that and, as a result, the party didn't look the part, so to speak. I did enjoy the action there and the setup for Joey going after Ava and the Ciara/Claire/Theo/Chase stuff. VJ has really improved of late and KP is coming into his own too now that he actually has stuff to do. All these teens now are improving IMO now that we are actually getting more insight into them and they are actually getting stories of their own. I'm really curious to see what the stuff with Paul is about. I liked the scenes with Lani and him reaching out to Henry (I believe that is his name) was interesting. The Belle stuff has been so much better lately. We are getting insight and her relationship with Philip today was shown to have more depth. I liked the scenes today. Even the stuff with Deimos came off better today. Loved Hope bringing up Eric and I finally am recognizing Hope again. It really helps having her in mom mode right now. The setup with Steve/Kayla/Ava was good. TB was good in that last scene and I love how they set up the ending with Joey pulling the fire alarm to be able to sneak in Ava's room. Litle stuff like that helps. |

I was wondering the same thing during the PBP. Did Steve not notice Joey was drunk (and probably high)? That seems to go against how Steve has interacted with Joey the last few days. Steve seemed much more intuitive. |

The one story they don't show is the one I wanted to see the follow up too. And where has Chabby been? I wouldn't be surprise if the next time they show up that they would be married already....i.e. Eloped off screen, maybe that's where Jennifer is. You know, the lack of Jennifer onscreen makes me nervous. What if she's OD'ed in her room and Hope and Ciara has no clue! :shrug: (I'm stretching) |

The teens are just awful. Terrible. Pathetic. The two I like are now written as a rapist and a murderer. Happy Days! I like Paul, but why would he think some random upset kid would tell him what's bothering him? The kid doesn't even know who he is as far as I know. Gay kid confiding in gay man? That's what Paul has become? An after school special? :rolleyes: Always good to see Steve and Kayla, but I wish she could have gotten one good punch in Ava's face, or at least a backhanded slap. MBE is so good at that! LOL Deimos is boring as hell. I do not care. Always liked Shelle the best. Now I don't care if Belle chooses to be with Phil. Poor likable dumbass Joey. I hate where they are going in this SL. Just really hate it. Lame episode... |

Rape aside, I do like the follow up beats that they have Ciara play out. I like how she told Claire how that party and the darkness made her feel scared and uncomfortable.

I think Philip did a good job of playing Deimos. Everything he said was the truth, he just twisted it a bit to get Deimos to take the bait. Vic would be so proud! Huh, Claire orders a gin and tonic and her mother doesn't bat an eye? How the heck old are these kids anyway? Of course Ava would claim Kayla killed her. I liked how she get referring to Roman as a detective. Obviously she doesn't know he's the Commissioner if she's threatening to go above him to get someone to listen to her ... Isn't police Commissioner as high as they go in the ranks ... unless she's talking the State's Attorney or Governor. Kayla is reacting to Steve the way I expected her to. Rationally she knows he slept with Ava to save her life but emotionally he still slept with a woman she hates. That's pretty hard to get past in just a few hours. Joey was plastered when he left that party ... a few breath mints sure as heck couldn't sober him up. I can't believe that Steve didn't see that he was drunk. Chase the rapist is now adding stalker to his resume. What next? Is he going to upgrade to murderer in the foreseeable future. What in the heck were those Paul / Lani scenes all about ... talk about throwing something in to the mix that doesn't fit ... I guess they had to show Paul doing something so it wouldn't be so jarring when he randomly runs into the confused, young gay teen in the square later on. And now Joe is a murderer. YIKES! All the good guys are being written as evil ... are we in alternate universe all of a sudden or what the heck is going on! |

Poor Joey, because being drunk or high is always a perfectly valid excuse for commiting murder....... :rolleyes: |

While killing someone in a drunken/high rage is not excusable, it's not unheard of either. |
