Hey Dallas!!! A longer episode than usual but I'm not complaining Can't wait in read when both Adam and Helen find out that not only Jonah came to the house to mess with Dawn. But that Barbara of all people shot and killed him in order to protect Dawn. Barbara getting arrested kind of surprised me I thought at least they were going to have her come down to the station for further questioning. I have a feeling that this will be a long road to Babs redemption when it comes to accepting her only granddaughter. The Black family is really being put through the ringer right now, which is fun as a writer. But yes, Adam and Helen's reaction will be revealed next episode. At this point, the reason Barbara was arrested is because an unarmed kid has been shot and killed. There is no real proof that it was "self defense" yet, so for the time being Barbara is in going to the slammer ... which is kinda fun in itself. Bob and Kim's plan might not work out if Felicia remembers a person standing outside. Although, I'm sure Eva will convince her that it was her mind playing tricks along with Bob and Kim getting someone to brainwash her to believe she was imagining this in her mind. I liked that Dominick is sticking beside her. This is just the beginning of this crazy plan for Bob and Kim. If it works, there will really be no way to discredit Felicia as she will claim she started the fire. It could be a very long time before anyone actually learns this secret. That is, if the plan works.. Thankfully, Chris and Helen our trying to use their common sense when it comes to them not sleeping together when Andrew drugged them. Trenyce once again has her hear broken. I'm wondering where is it going to lead her? Good Episode! Bre Yea, like I told Michael on Twitter, the main point of this pairing initially was to let Helen have a romance outside of Adam ... and of course to have Andrew's plan to break up Chris & Trenyce. This story does have longer legs, so we shouldn't count out Chris and Trenyce just yet ... Thanks for reading! Dallas

OMFG with Barbara! I actually had wondered if Dawn and Cheresa might kill Jonah at the bible camp and then have to cover it up, but getting Barbara in the mix is even more entertaining. I have a feeling this lady is NOT going to be a good liar. I guess there's always the chance that they will come clean straight away and then have to prove what happened and whether it was justified, but they're soap characters, so... Yes, Barbara really did kill Jonah. When I was planning this story, I thought this would be a nice sort of redemption for Barbara since she is the one who pushed everyone into sending Dawn to the camp in the first place. Of course, this leads the character down a completely different path, regardless of which way it plays out. I'm a little wary of Andy becoming involved with someone as unstable and immature as Lukas. I'm sure he is beyond ready to get back out there, since he really has grieved Reese and gone through his recovery in plausibly real time, and Lukas is aesthetically appealing. But I don't see his selfishness and juvenile behavior as a good match for someone who has to maintain his sobriety. It'll be interesting to see how this develops and what kinds of reactions both Donovan and Craig will have. Yes, I mentioned to Bre on twitter that this is just the start of Andy slowly getting back into the dating swing of things. From the outside, it seems like this isn't a great idea ... Andy is really fresh back into the dating pool and Lukas is, in some ways, lashing out at Donovan because he is hurt about what happened at the trial. It doesn't exactly seem like a happily ever after. But that's the fun thing about moving different characters around and seeing what happens. Kim and Bob scheming over brandy is so soapy. Felicia is going to have a hell of a time defending herself, no matter what she claims. Even her actual reason for being at the boutique -- trashing it and destroying the product -- lines up with starting a fire. BTW, I love all the references to the winter weather in this episode. I always love soaps during this time of year. There's something heightened about all the snow and the decor that goes along with the season. Let's just hope there isn't another ice storm! I really love Bob and Kim's plotting. It is so fun, I agree. And they are so twisted, especially Bob that he is getting off on the fact that Kim torched his rival's building. Kim's plan, which is revealed next episode, is also really sick and fun at the same time. Felicia, as you mentioned, will have a hard time defending herself ... And thank you! I live where we have winter almost 6 months of the year so I like to add that into ODaaT considering they are in a mountain town. It makes it feel more real. Thanks for your commentary! D

Another good week of stories Dallas!!! Who knew Barbara could handle a pistol? I knew that Jonah wasn't going to get hit the first time since Dawn had to confront him but with Barbara putting two caps into that rapist chest I did a dance of joy. Not to mention I never heard Babs cursing before either so we know she is serious about protecting her only granddaughter too. Yes, who knew? haha! I had to have more fallout before the actual shooting, you're right. But Jonah was so lost in his delusions that it this was bound to happen. Of course, this opens up an entire new can of worms ... which is so fun on a soap! Kim & Bob our so sick and twisted it entertains me now. I mean these two could push one another down the stairs and call each other every name in the book but by the end of the year they're back together. So I understand where Andy is concern for his sister and I know I keep saying this but Kim needs to actually get her feelings out verbally to a psychiatrist. I know Rosario knows everyone in town's business everytime her employer and his family open their mouth too. lol These two really are so much fun to write, tbh, because it is twisted. There is another plot point coming up with these two that really is fun and a throw back to recent history that I love. Andy is concerned but he keeps taking Kim's word that she is okay, which might not be the best thing to do. Oh Donovan! Craig is right leave Lukas whining self alone and if you have to keep pleading your case " Dude is not into you at all." Donovan is in love with Lukas but he is starting to realize that he might have to move on. Of course, Craig is sort of in the middle of all of this, and he might not want to be! Oh Daisy! Don't be like Chris was like to you all those years ago. I do like Vinny/Daisy but it seems her and Tyler might kindle some passion she never had with Vinny. I'm wondering if by NYE if Daisy is going to bring in the new year with Vinny? or Tyler. Nice Episode Bre It is interesting how things like this go full circle, hey? Chris did cheat, repeatedly, on Daisy and now here she is on the verge of doing that to Vinny. The situations are different, however. Daisy is trying to stay afloat from Jemma's passing ... if she handled the passing in a healthy matter, there wouldn't be any drama! Thanks so much for reading! Dallas

I did not expect Barbara of all people aiming a gun at anyone , let alone her granddaughter's rapist which I don't blame her at all. I liked that Victoria gave Dawn the encouragement to reach out to her family. Thankfully, she did because Barbara might of shot Jonah and I can't wait to see where is all of this is going to go? Also I did like Cheresa returning to the canvas and reconnecting with Dawn. I sense that we're going to meet her family soon and I sense she is going to be a special character on her own too. Barbara!! I did NOT expect that. It was interesting to see her in that mode, and weirdly fits her draconian personality on things. It was interesting to play that from Dawn's POV because we don't really know what Barbara was going to do had Dawn not arrived at that moment. I like Cheresa so far, and I'm glad to see her in town, though I have some suspicions about who she'll be connected to... Hey guys – thanks for putting up with so much content this past week! I know it was a lot … I love that Barbara is taking action on Jonah this way. It was sort of the perfect set up for her to be losing it on Jonah just as Dawn arrives. The next couple of episodes will sort of set up the future of the story line and where it might lead. I'm glad Cheresa is a hit so far. Through her, we will meet more of her family and what they may bring to the series (more so in 2019). I would have Natasha list every heinous thing that Cassie Nova has ever done to the next person who tells her she is simply overreacting everytime she mentions or see that woman who ruined her life and countless others. This episode seem like the episode to feature siblings catching up! Robbie/Natasha Meggan/Lukas I always enjoy those smaller scenes of family members or friends catching up. Robbie/Natasha, Cassie/Max, and Victoria/Shane were all versions of that which help to flesh out their storylines and make everything feel more like a community. I too love when people just take the time to catch up on each other lives, it gives that soap element of community and family, which is the soul of the series. I've been trying to add more of these types of scenes into the series for that purpose. I got a feeling that Meggan's condition might complicate a lot in this Jeff/Meggan/Leah/Robbie quad for sure. I kind of suspected it yesterday but now it seems it might go a way that will be even more interesting. Isn't Meggan a recovering alcoholic? Why was Lukas saying she'd usually have a glass of wine? But between the ginger ale and the faintness, us soap fans should have a pretty good idea of what's up. I genuinely think Jeff wants to be with her, and Leah has been such a brat lately that I hope Meggan "wins" here. HA! Yes, Meggan is an alcoholic. Consider it not an oversight on the writers part but another indication of how selfish Lukas is The storyline seems like it is set up pretty typically of how a soap works. If what we all suspect is coming, the fall out will be pretty interesting … Oh, and poor Trey! She really has no reason to take Chris at his word, given his history, so that works out well in Andrew's favor. I do wonder if they'll be able to overcome this, because short of Andrew coming clean, there's no real way to prove Chris didn't go for one last romp with Hel. I remember Bill Bell saying once "a happy couple is a boring couple", so Chris/Trey being happy would have been boring. I thought this set up was great because of Chris' history with so many different women; it's not a stretch that he WOULD two time both Trey and Helen. But, with soaps, the truth always comes out … Thanks again for reading and all your comments over the week! D

I guess Victoria didn't learn from Shane that you can't go around telling your patients business without their consent. But I did like her and Kim comforting Dawn without pressuring her in any way. Oh Lucas! You're such a jerk. Donovan,baby run away from him and find someone else. Although, I hope Andy packs his patience if he involves himself with him. I got a feeling Meggan isn't going to give up Jeff without a fight. And loving Dominick getting fed up with everyone blaming him for Blake's death. Good episode Bre Thanks for stopping in, Bre! I really thought the Kim/Victoria scene with Dawn was important so she knows that she isn't alone in what she is going through. It was also a good way for Kim and Victoria to honor their past on the series. Lukas continues to be a stubborn fellow, I agree with you. It's now going to be interesting to see if Donovan moves on and if he does, with whom. There are a lot of twists and turns coming with the Leah/Jeff/Meggan/Robbie/Victoria saga. This is just the start ... Thanks again for reading! I hope you enjoy the final daily ep! Dallas

Dawn once again telling off Barbara is still a thing of beauty. I didn't feel bad for Barbara at all and hopefully Dawn will get the help she needs and press charges on Jonah too. I actually felt a *little* bad for Barbara, because I can tell she is genuinely remorseful. I still don't blame Dawn for kicking her out, but maybe there is hope of that family repairing itself down the line. Oh, and Adam has been living in the same building as Dawn?! That threw me off when I realized it this episode. Adam is being an idiot for deciding he can't be with Robin because he's impotent, which is typical Soap Man. I like that Robin is suspicious of Max, though. Keep digging! While Barbara did set into motion Dawn going to the camp, she DOES mean well, so I wanted to create a notion that she is remorseful. She still wants what is best for her granddaughter. There are still some great scenes coming up with these two. And Bre, Jonah does make an appearance soon, so you may get your wish sooner rather than later! Poor Trenyce! She thought she is going to get her Happily Ever After with Chris Michaels who can't commit for long. Now Andrew who by the way needs to become friends with Max. Anyway I think he is doing this to Chris because he is also a bit jealous that he and Trenyce our looking for their biological child too. But with him poisoning the both of them I got a feeling that Trenyce is going to misinterpret what is going to happen. Oh, and I wonder what crazy-ass Andrew's plan is... This should be something! This story is really fun because it is classic soap but you're right, Andrew is lashing out for unrealistic reasons but that is so fun. The plan is completely revealed next episode! You know what this one was reminding me of? Late 90s Days, or even Passions, in the way that it has be about one billion o'clock at night, and people are still running around and going to different places and having run-ins. Kinda fun and soapy. I cackled at Cassie taunting Natasha, which is probably evil of me, but oh well. That was one of the 'smaller' beats in Friday's episode that I really liked. Leah and Paige getting nachos and chatting felt very natural and normal (a change of pace for that family unit!), and that moment of Shane consoling Victoria over her past assault was unexpected but nice. Not sure if it's hinting at something to come, but regardless of that, it was one of those fallout moments that soaps always need and that deepen the experience. I love these long nights … I definitely am not being Mal Young with the "each episode is a new day" theory. For me, the Shane/Victoria thing makes sense as they used to be married years ago, they are both doctors and neither one have a ton of close friends … so it seems natural to connect them together like this. I always love it when Cassie & Natasha getting into it. I'm sure that Natasha is envious of her arch nemesis and one of the loves of her life getting closer. Meanwhile, it seems everyone else has forgiven her about plastic surgery, kidnapping, impersonating a woman, fraud, and countless other crimes and I'm glad Nat reminds her everytime of it all. I'm glad you guys love the Natasha/Cassie stuff; to me those scenes are some of the most fun to write because there is so much history between them. I also love that Cassie can get under Natasha's skin like no one else. Natasha always tries to come across polished and put together, so the fact that Cassie can make her come undone is fun. Thanks for reading! See you tomorrow! D

Another good episode of this week's dailies Dawn got a backbone and finally told all three of her family members of the pain and rejection she is feeling and I like at how disgusted she was when she saw Barbara once again touching her cross around her neck. Adam is definitely being sort of passive, in spite of him being the one who had second thoughts about sending her there in the first place. Perhaps it is guilt attached to his reasoning. I do hope that Helen gives it good to her mother since she always seem like a little girl everytime Barbara doesn't get what she wants. I did have to chuckle when Shelley found the three of them at the door and was like mess is about to hit the fan. I'm glad you liked Dawn telling her family off. It felt like a natural response, considering the lead up heading to the summer camp tale. of course, a lot of this is just pent up anger over what Jonah did to her. There will be some more good scenes coming with Adam, Helen & Barbara, in particular Barbara I think. Kim and Bob our the Twin Peaks version of Victor and Nikki in my opinion. They're supportive, passionate and even toxic towards each other. I do think Bob is willing to overlook just about anything in order to get his revenge over Dominick so him being turned on and elated about the fire makes complete sense. Good Episode Can't wait to read tomorrow's Bre I guess they are kind of Nikki/Victor inspired despite them having an age difference. But there is a toxicity to their relationship for sure, but that is part of the fun of writing them, to be honest. If it was a perfect marriage, there'd be no drama/storyline. There are some fun twists still coming with this fire story too that I think will be a surprise. Thanks for reading! D
