Overall, February sweeps was very disappointing. Looking forward to March though.

According to the NBC recap, Justin and Adrienne talked before Steve's arraignment. Justin told Adrienne about Eve moving to New York and Adrienne explained how she is taking it slow with Lucas.
They should have left that in. We still don't know what happened to Eve.

The kid playing Joey is laughably bad. I just can't with him. Jade does nothing to enhance the character or story. I'd much rather the other teens be given screen time over these two.
I have to agree regarding Lastovic. Don't get me wrong, I do like him as Joey. But I just haven't seen any of the amazing talent coming from him that others seem to see. None of the teens really stand out to me as far as acting goes. I feel like they're all very green, and that's perfectly fine. Take a look back at clips from 1999. Kirsten Storms, Jason Cook, Farrah Fath, Brandon Tyler (teen Philip #1) and Nadia Bjorlin were pretty bad. It just sort of comes with the territory, I guess. And when given stupid teen storylines, it doesn't really matter to me. It's expected almost. Which is another reason I hate that the show decided to make all of them 18 all of a sudden.

I don't have much of an opinion on the actress playing Jade yet.
I think the actors playing Chase,Claire,and Theo are good.The actress playing Ciara is getting better but James Lastovic is very bad.He "acting" style reminds me so much of AS right down to the scrunchy faced crying.I also got a Bev vibe from the actress playing Jade.She seems okay as an actress but her dialogue is right out of the mouth of Bev.

I would have ripped out Brady's new heart if he attempted to bring an unknown mental patient to live near my baby. He should have had a brain transplant.
Allowing a suicidal mental patient he met two days ago to live in the same household with him and his young son when Brady is perfectly capable of paying for a hotel/bed and breakfast stay for Summer does make Brady look like a moron who cares more about what Daniel would want than the safety of his own child.

I really like Belle's confidence as a lawyer.
I like Belle too but I am skeptical that anyone can make a man smothering a woman who is in a hospital bed look like self defense,

1) I think the bracelet gesture would have been more romantic if Chad had said he ordered it when Thomas was born rather than saying he ordered it when he found out Thomas was his son.
2) I totally disagree with JJ deciding not to tell Abby Ben has escaped and with Chad not telling her as well.Abby needs to be on guard against Ben to protect herself and Thomas.Chad should be honest with Abby and keeping this from her should be problematic when she learns he and JJ did so.

I'm very hot and cold with JLa's acting. He has scenes that are very good, and then scenes that just don't work.

I really like Jade so far, although I'm still disappointed that they cut her scenes with Joey on Tuesday. When you're just starting to establish a character, that seems like such a mistake.

I agree. The strategy sounded odd at the very best.

It didn't go to court or even really truly get uncovered, but that's the same defense people use for Sami shooting EJ. :shrug: Also, it worked for Marlena and Stefano in the 80s, and it totally made sense in the way it played out.

It's also how Isabelle got out of murdering Marina. Well, it wasn't exactly a claim of self-defense, but evidence that Marina was off her rocker and intending to go kill Kayla. So, they dropped the charges against Isabella because it was in defense of others.

Assuming they actually uncover evidence of something, which is where this story appears to be going, it seems to be a valid defense in Salem.

I wasn't watching at all during the Stefano/Marlena but I did see EJ/Sami.I didn't buy self defense when Sami shot EJ.I also think it makes a difference that Marlena and Sami involved women shooting men who did not die.I don't know about Marlena but Sami not being arressted and not going to trial for shooting EJ did not make it work for me it was just another instance where her criminal actions were shoved under the rug like they did with most of her criminal activity.Steve has been arrested after being found at the scene of the crime and without being asked voluntarily stated he killed Ava.Justin is actually doing his job,just as he did when he arrested Chad, based on the evidence available to him which is kind of refreshing.

Chabby was SO adorable today! Loved the bracelet :wub2: I suspect that bracelet is going to be very important at some point since it represents so much and is so unique. I can just imagine it being found on a charred body in a car wreck or with some Jane Doe in the hospital in a coma. I can just see that bracelet being key to a big moment.

I really thought it was going to be Chad's idea to keep Abby in the dark about Ben but it really was JJ who initiated it. Chad told him to tell her the truth but JJ came out with his story and Chad initially looked surprised and then relieved. Is JJ actually warming up to Chad a little or was that 100% a lie?

I actually thought the scenes with Abby and Teresa were pretty good. They had a nice vibe. Love Abby making herself at home as grand dame of the mansion.
I wonder if Summer at some point takes Abby's bracelet

I kind of wondered after yesterday Summer listening to Nicole and Theresa talk if Summer might sabotage the clothing line.
