Was able to catch up today Dallas. It's been a busy few weeks here and now that Halloween and Patrick's birthday are over I had time to catch up.

Felica being alive/Jeff/Leah- I actually thought the set up for the back from the dead storyline this time was very well done. In a way this is probably one of the stories I'm really excited about. That being said I don't think Dominick is this evil man that Bob always makes him out to be, I understand his reasoning for keeping Felica "dead" from Leah. I also really do like the realistic strain this has put on Leah/Jeff a parent suddenly being alive would cause any relationship strain.

Robbie/Victoria- I like the reference to the past with Leah/Robbie's relationship I feel it is very big of Victoria to be able to tell Robbie to be there for her so kudos to her!

Helen/Adam/Cassie and Natasha/Shane- Helen is probably nicer than I would be about the entire thing. While I do like that Cassie has left the series I do hope that it is for a while and you bring in a new and fresh big bad so to speak. I like the open ended story of her running of into the dark unknown with Adam's baby. I think it opens up Natasha and Shane again to actually maybe work on their issues and be together for a bit too.

Savannah vs. Trenyce- I've already stated my feelings on this pretty well in the past you would need to explain a lot about this if it is true that Savannah is Andrew's mother. Since there was that entire donation storyline that readers saw on screen with baby Andrew back in the day. My guess is still this is a red herring and perhaps Savannah's baby is somewhere else in Twin Peaks or she is batshit nuts.

Andy/Craig/Reese/Donovan- Andy has the worst luck ever on ODAAT poor Andy but I did like Craig's honesty. Maybe they can work past it, I'm not sure but I would like to see Andy happy and with someone who was faithful to him. Overall I like the set up here and it is rare when one partner is so honest with another in soaps so I am excited to see where this goes. Plus with both Reese and Donovan in play it could go numerous ways I feel.

Bob vs. Dominick- I feel its been really played out over the years and I wish that maybe it would be more of the next generation in on the feud now. Both of them pretty much act like spoiled rotten children half the time and with Sofia gone I just wish their was more umph to their feud. Not saying they aren't great rivals cause they are I just wish there was more to it at this point.

Other assorted thoughts on storylines:

Robin/Cory- What I like is that you are exploring Robin's grief in a very real way I can't even imagine what that is like. I know people who have went through what she is and my heart breaks for her and them. I do hope that perhaps her and Cory will come out of this stronger and I do hope she gets the help/counseling she needs.

Kim/Johnny/Bob- I really wish that we were seeing more to their affair other than just being screw buddies. One of the biggest problems I have with affair stories in general is the lack of explanation and emotion behind them. Does Kim get a thrill from being with him? I don't think Bob has done anything that horrible to Kim to have her go off and cheat on him. On the flip side shouldn't she be trying to repair her marriage and actually work on it opposed to jumping in with Johnny? How does Johnny feel about her, since he seems to be lacking a voice in the POV? I think if I actually got to see Johnny and Kim's POV's in the entire thing I would be more excited about it and the fallout but currently we don't have that and it looks like Kim is a selfish whore who is using Johnny for sex at this point.

Overall it was a nice step back in Dallas and I think you are shaping up the rest of the month really well!

Hey Kelly - I'm glad that Patrick had a good birthday! What was he for Halloween?

Felicia & Family - I'm glad this big reveal paid off for you. I tried dropping hints for the last few months that Felicia was alive. Little things like, Leah wishing her Mom was around and what not. This storyline really plays into your comments about the Bob/Dominick feud as well. The story is still very new, in terms of Felicia being on the series, so there's a lot of little beats to be played out. Needless to say, her presence will change the lives of Leah, Jeff, Robbie, Victoria, Bob, Dominick and Eva forever. It will also really amp up Bob and Dominick's rivalry and take it to the next generation, so to speak. It just takes time to get to that point lol!

Cassie - I know that you are ready for her to be off the series for a while but I'm glad that you liked the open endness of her departure. It would have been very easy to write her out by going to jail but I didn't see the fun in that, or the drama. I wanted her to leave in a way that she could come back at any time. That being said, I'm very far ahead in my writings and I can tell you that she is off the series for a long while. As for the couples that she was interacting with, there is still plenty of story without Cassie. Adam & Helen's storyline moves into a different direction by the end of the year. And, Shane & Natasha will have, probably, their most dramatic year ever next year. So, plenty of good stuff to come!

Andrew's paternity - The next couple of episodes, everything is explained. That being said, Andy didn't donate blood to Andrew when he needed a blood transfusion, Chris did and that's how they learned Chris was Andrew's father. Keep in mind, however, that you don't have to be related to donate blood to someone ....

Andy/Craig - I'm glad this was another good pay off for you! I sort of felt like it was interesting that Craig had been the one to keep telling Reese not to say anything about the affair but then Craig spilled the tea instead. Like a few other storylines, this was moves into a new direction pretty quickly.

Robin/Cory - I'm like you, where I can't imagine this happening in real life. But I do like seeing Robin a little bit tortured lol.

Bob/Kim/Johnny - I see your point completely. But right now, it is mostly a physical thing. This is one of those stories that has very long legs and there's a reason why we don't see much of Johnny right now I can't reveal all the good plot points at first, there wouldn't be any shock value left. lol! Keep reading though!!

Thanks so much for reading Kelly - appreciate your comments, as always!
