The Good
NLG gave a Tour de France performance today. I thought the initial scenes were a bit much but she killed it (no pun intended) during Sam's hospital scenes. KM was there of course but NLG had several scenes where she delivered a monologue. Alexis has irked me for months, but NLG deserves all the kudos for what brought to life today. And kudos to the director as well.
Crawling into bed and holding Sam was heartbreaking.
I also liked Elizabeth comforting Alexis.
The Bad
Mikey literally standing there in judgment of his wife for kissing his uncle--knowing fool well he just played hide the salami with Sasha was truly a new low. And then to have sex with her on the couch was the cherry on the top. He stood there and watched her thisclose to groveling. A true man who loved his wife and who just had sex with another woman--would have gone a bit easier and not had such a chip on their shoulder. He's a meal-mouth, momma's boy, little bitch baby!
It was weird, but Michael also knew Willow was straight up lying to him about only kissing Drew once. He gave her several opportunities so pretty sure that marriage is kaput
The Ugly
Jason even being there today when the list is long of characters who would have made way more sense: Diane, Molly, Krustina, Dante! And then a stupid montage. For what? You haven't been together in what a decade? Fuq your crocodile tears for a woman you allowed to think you were dead, as she raised your child for three years.
I'm betting there will be a Sante montage tomorrow. Not a fan of JaSam but, in soap years, they were together for a very long time and have a HUGE fanbase. I'm glad that group got acknowledged.
I'd love a Davis girls montage but with the recasts, I don't think there's enough meaningful material for anything more than Sam/Alexis clips
I hate Drew and Cody and that hasn't changed. Cody isn't a stand up guy. Don't care how badly Drew needed to be punched and he did--Cody should not have been the one to do it. The entire reason for it is beyond contrived. And then today, the son of a bitch is still angry. For what? Until kissing Willow, Drew really hadn't been an @$$hole. You know what would have been better? Drew approached Cody and asked "Hey friend. I hope I can count on your vote." And then Cody slugged him. At least that way, Cody was minding his own business and then here comes Drew, smiling and asking him for something. And even if most of what Cody said about Drew was true--he proved that he hasn't changed or grown. He is still the same opportunist he was when he came to town two years ago. How do I know this? Because if Cody had grown at all, he would have turned down Drew's bribe. He didn't. He asked for $100,000 and was marked down to $50,000 which is $49,900 more than he's worth. That was the moment for Cody to stand on his principles, instead he showed that he has little integrity.
I hate Drew and his blaming Cody for exposing his awful behavior is beyond gross. And Cody wasn't being an opportunist until gross Drew threw out the possibility. I don't blame Cody for taking a paycheck. He has no loyalty to that skeevy dude. I just wish he would have stuck to the $100k
