Happy new year! I hope everyone enjoyed a nice holiday. I have had some time off work so really took advantage by staying off the computer so I haven't posted much the last few weeks.
But I have been watching the show. I thought the Christmas Eve ornament hanging was just so nice, as always. I love this tradition, even though it's a TV show and not real, there is really something special and heartwarming to see all the "generations" and Tom and Alice's legacy on the tree. It's really nice.
I thought the NYE party was pretty good too, the room was full and lots of the cast in one scene, I feel like we haven't had many scenes like this since Chez Rouge or the Penthouse Grill.
I thought the stuff today with Tate and Brady were really good. I am glad he told the truth and called his dad. EJ storming in at the end accusing Tate of lying was crazy. I felt rally bad for Nicole, she really does not need to be dealing with this right now. The whole scene in the back alley was really good too, it felt less cheesy and more realistic.
Is Tripp really leaving? He was good today in his doctor role.
The scenes with Marlena and Nicole were nice but it bugged me that Nicole was all hung up on Eric. Ugh. I really want the show to move on from Ericole once and for all. It never works with them. I couldn't believe Marlena talked about losing DJ to SIDS! Wow! They always ignore Marlena's life before Roman so this was a big deal. I also thought the scene with Melinda and Wendy was nice. Both of them are good actresses but they just have crappy material.
Also, I am annoyed Konstantin is still around. I have been rewatching Seinfeld and that actor showed up as Jerry and Elaine's sniffing accountant they thought had a drug problem. He bugged me in the episode too.

Happy New Year to you all as well even though we are a very small group these days. I enjoyed the Horton Christmas the most although it bugged me that Konstantin showed up. He’s a terrible villain and doesn’t have a reason to be on the show. I hope that once the truth comes out about Xander being Victor’s Son, he will be gone. But, it seems like he is going to be involved in the new mystery surrounding John’s past.
I do have to say that the casting of Holly and Tate are great. I really think Tate is awesome and I totally buy him as Brady’s Son.

He really is terrible and I wish he would leave. I am sort of surprised they keep going back to the well of John...I mean, enough already...why are we revisiting the Pawn?
Tate and Holly have been very well cast, I think they are both doing a great job. The scenes Tuesday with Theresa, Brady, Tate, Rafe and EJ at the hospital were great. I loved Theresa standing up to EJ. EJ is unhinged...I just wish they had told the truth and stuck with it. Now it's getting all messed up with Tate and Brady trying to take the blame.

I agree that Tuesday was a great episode. I really like Tate. Best youth casting since Chandler Massey as Will. Even Holly is awesome. They could be the next Belle and Shawn. I even think EOB is getting better as Theresa. I still think Jen Lilley was much better in the role, but she’s putting in some great performances in the past few days. Alex, on the other hand, is such an arrogant jerk. I can’t wait for the truth to come out about Xander being Victor’s Son.

Alex is ridiculous trying to take over and insist on the lawyer - who does he think he is?! Brady barely knows Alex...of course, Justin is the logical choice. And then Alex stopping himself from calling Justin Dad...ugh the whole thing is utterly stupid. I am glad they all agreed that Justin should be Tate's lawyer.
I also find it kind of hilarious how much bias Rafe is showing - EJ is the DA and Rafe is just throwing him under the bus and trying to help Tate and the family. He should be staying impartial but again, who is in Salem?
EOB is getting better but I am still having a hard time not just seeing Gwen in a wig. I really did love JL as Theresa.
I have to say, I think we are in full scab time with the shows but they have been pretty good lately. Minus the dumb scenes of Marlena or Kayla or Kate just sitting around recapping the latest happenings, the show has been good. Everything with Tate's arrest has been excellent. Having John involved, the whole thing with the suit and Tate saying to thank Grandma for pressing it for him, it was sweet - real family stuff. And the scenes with Julie and Chad were nice. Chad and Everett even were mildly compelling. Tripp calling out Ava...the NYE party...all of it has been good.
I hear Kristen is back next week. Where has she been? I don't miss her at all but she has been gone for a long time.
