OH, ok Yo Ling is an environmentalist? :shrug: :blulaugh: who wrote this nonsense?

Oh how I miss Stefano!
Nah I'm done with Stefano. His character has been overplayed and a joke since he returned in 2007. I'm actually enjoying Yo Ling at moment. But he's not staying long so it's OK.

And why do I keep getting Luke/Darth Vader vibes from him and John LOL
Let me clarify a bit. When I say I miss Stefano, I'm missing the Stefano before he planted himself in the DiMansion and had drinks with other Salemites at the pub. The one that was obsessed with Marlena, etc. I'm missing him in comparison to Yo Ling.

They're dragging out this rescue. They know where he is and all these other things happened instead.

Marlena is home so hopefully she sees Belle Monday and then leaves to get John
I know it doesn't go down this way, but considering how preoccupied all the men are, it would have been kind of badass to see Marlena (and maybe even Belle) go rescue John by themselves. It'd be nice to see more women do the rescuing on this show.
I was thinking that last night actually. Like Marlena must go after them Monday. She knows where it is on the map and we know she gets there Tuesday. I also thought it was odd Drake tagged the whole family in the come rescue us tweet lol. Since it appears only Marlena goes

I am glad she doesn't just accept Rafe telling her to stay home and gets to John regardless.
Rafe should know better. He was married to Sami and she is Marlena's daughter, so what makes him think that the women of this family will stay put when told so. :D

I like the Hernandez clan (and I still want LH back) however, I'm going to annoyed if they more family development than our classic characters,
Well, we're certainly seeing more Hernandez interaction during this kidnapping that the Black family. It pisses me off!
There's NO balance here. Brainless doesn't know & Belle is too busy lawyering still.

I was legit scared for Paul though - CS was nailing that "HOLY SHIT! IT'S JIGSAW!!!" look.
Brainless. Lol. :blulaugh: I guess he got the wrong transplant.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep

I hope she just shows up there and Rafe's like oh damn I guess she wasn't kidding.

And I hope they tell John later how she wouldn't stay away

John screaming for Yo Ling not to hurt his son but to take him instead was nice. Too bad I felt nothing because I have nothing invested in his relationship with Paul. It's meaningless too me. Absolutely meaningless. I just want this kidnapping to be over.

You better be careful what you wish for. If it ends too fast, he might end back up in backburner hell.

So Ciara's birth date has been changed yet again ... seriously! Was it so important to have her turn 18 right this exact day. If anything today should show Hope how much Ciara really needs. Hope knows that Ciara is not okay but I wonder if she realised just how much Ciara is suffering. She's acting out and if Hope doesn't step in and make sure Ciara gets the help she needs, Ciara will continue to spiral and it won't be pretty. Ciara is very fortunate to have a friend like Theo who did the smart, responsible thing and called Hope when Ciara started drinking straight alcohol like it was water.

What I really liked about today were the Hope and Kayla scenes. They've always been the best of friends and their family ties have always been strong. It's nice to see someone remembered that.

I also liked the Gabi / Eduardo scenes. As for Dario, Wednesday's episode ruined the character for me. He's coming in as a con man that teams up with the oh so useless Summer ... that should spell his doom before he even gets started. I liked that Gabi acknowledged she's in no position to judge, obviously Dario feels that he is. I'm not saying that a con man is on the same level of crime as a trained assassin but cons still hurt people and as far as I know conning someone is a crime. But hey, I get it, he's got Daddy issues.

I was so hoping that the rescue of John would get underway today ... so far they're just running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Now it will be further delayed while Steve deals with the Joey crisis. I did like how they filmed Joey's confession to Roman - with him talking and the camera on him but us hearing Kayla telling Hope about what Joey did ... very well down.

I thought CS played Paul's 'shock' quite well. I felt bad for John. Yo Ling is crazy ... he's on a level of crazy that I don't think anyone has ever reached on this show before and that's saying a lot!

Haha just re-watched an old episode of How I Met Your Mother from season 4 and I nearly flipped when I saw Kate Mansi (Abigail). I can't believe I never noticed it until now. lol

So we know Marlena doesn't stay put....how soapy would it be if she arrives (covertly) right in the middle of a stand off- Yo has a gun to johns head, rafe a gun pointed at Yo and Marlena slips in unseen and sees the situation and gets a clear shot of Yo and....in true super couple fashion she saves John from his father, just as her loved for him saved him from Stefano.

The storyline that comes after would/could (but prob won't) be so rich...

Wonder if Dario's issues with Papa Hernandez is why he turned to being a con artist. I can see them spinning it that way.

That's likely to happen either way. Plus they never listen to my wishes, LOL

I really liked today's episode except it seemed choppy. Lots going on with different people. I think Hope should rethink her giving those car keys to Ciara. She knows that Ciara has been drinking. I am not sure where the guy went that was supposed to be keeping an eye on the teens. I wanted more Let's save John scenes but I guess I can't have everything.

I'm so confused about the time. It's the same day as Chad & Abby's wedding where Theo said to Ciara she has a birthday coming up like it's a week or two away. Now all of sudden it is her birthday? I was thinking the wedding was a new day, but Kayla is still in the outfit from the shrine last Wednesday.

Another thing that confused me was Hope's dialogue to Kayla, saying how she can't get Ciara to open up. Hope just found out. It hasn't even been a few days. I thought their talk at the Horton house was pretty good as a starting point. I feel like they are just rushing this along to hit the next plot point. Kayla and Hope's conversation was longer than I anticipated based on the PBP, so that was good.

Also, not sure I understand Hope's sad look at the end when she saw Ciara standing atop the bar drinking. I would expect her to get right up there and grab the alcohol away from Ciara.

I don't need any more of the Hernandez family.

I don't hate Rafe, but I find it hard to root for him since he's covering up a murder AND framing someone. He should've been the voice of reason for a messed up Hope, who'd gone over the edge and needed someone to pull her back and encourage her do the right thing, despite her fear.

Gabi's okay. I like her in general, and I put up with Eduardo because I like A. Martinez, and have ever since Santa Barbara.

But Dario is hanging with Summer, and I don't like her, and Mrs. Hernandez would be fine, except I can't even get a Marlena/Brady scene, there's been very little Hope/Shawn or Shawn/Ciara or Steve/Adrienne or Kayla/Caroline in recent weeks, so if they want me to like the new family, might want to also give some attention to the already established families in town.

Marlena once took a gun away from someone......I think it was Kristen.....and the way she unloaded it you knew the woman knew her way around a gun. lol I wish they would have had her pull out a gun in front of Steve and Rafe and loaded it up and said, "Lets go."
Exactly! And when one of Stefano's men had her at knife point with John looking on and Roman had a gun, John gave Marlena a signal and she got herself free. Afterwards she said John caught her self defense.

John's going to be too busy saving Paul.

my favorite character of the day was Paul!!!

I think Roman believes Joey, but will end up thinking that Steve falling on his sword, is the best way to go...whether I think that's right or wrong.

I FFWD through Claire singing...don't care. FFWD through Ciara and most people.

He should just get Joey the best lawyer he knows, not shield him and then let Steve go to prison for something he didn't do.

I know that's what Steve wants to do, but should Roman just allow it, knowing what he now does?
