Good start with the daily episodes, as usual, Dallas.

It seems as if Eva is still envious of Felicia and her place in Dominick's life. I'm still surprised that she and Dom have been married for this long because I thought their marriage would end years ago. Although, it seems she isn't willing to let him go without a fight.

The Robertson family might have to worry about Felicia even more. I do like Felicia is one of the few who is still mad at Bob for what he set in motion with the boutique fire, and Raven's Meadow. The Calimo security probably took a break because I couldn't see her simply sneaking onto the estate with no one seeing her.

This is my first time meeting Phil since I've been reading One Day, so he seems pleasant unlike his wife Melissa, who is on her best behavior for now at least, but I can tell it isn't going to last. Meanwhile, Nicholas at St. Joseph's might not go down well with the archbishop have it his way. Nick is the first guy Andy has had deep feelings for since Reese. So on top of him being a priest, it's quite complicated.

I see a spoiler about Vinny leaving town? I'm wondering for good or not?

Good Episode!!!

Yes, the Eva/Dominick marriage has always had a little bit of drama involved because of Felicia. Felicia and Dominick have so much history together and they share children together, so they are close which can rub Eva the wrong way.

I thought it was fitting for Felicia to remain upset with Bob because he did make her spend a year of her life in Raven's Meadow, which she didn't have too. Of course, had she not been in the hospital she wouldn't have met Barbara, her friend.

Yes, both Phil & Melissa pop in and out as needed ... Melissa is featured more because she has children (Nicholas, Robin) whereas Phil is more of a supporting character to Melissa. Because this is Nicholas' first big event at the church, I thought both of his parents should be present. You'll see how this all unfolds this week.

And yes, Vinny leaves town ... stay tuned to see what happens!

Thanks for reading - I will do my best to get caught up on T&C today or tomorrow!

Who is the woman? And where is the real Melissa?

It seems you have grounded her more than since her last stint when she was keeping Cory/Robin apart. Her coming to the defense of Nicholas to the arch bishop shows how dedicated she is to her son. It feels to me that he is her favorite child or have a close relationship with him. But I bet her calmness won't last long if/when she finds out about Andy/Nicholas together.

When the contesting of Bob's will get to court I envision Kim in a big fancy hat with a veil like Joan Collins on Dynasty. More and more the widow is turning to Greg as her confidant. I'm wondering if/when she will give into his temptation.

I'm sensing Chris's sister will be coming to the canvas soon. Can't wait to meet her and see why she isn't close with her brother?

Good Episode!!!

Can't wait for the next two episodes of the dailies.

The fun thing about Melissa is that she truly does want the best for her children; even when she was working to keeping Robin & Cory apart it is because she believed that Robin was better off without Cory. Right now, she is fighting for Nicholas because she believes in all the work that he has done at the church. Will the real Melissa emerge by week's end? Time will tell ...

HA! Yes, Kim will likely make some dramatic appearances in the court room. I love that this will continue to divide the Calimo family. There's so much fun stuff coming up with this tale. As for Greg/Kim, they have had an attraction for a while but she is still mourning so it is hard to know if more will happen or not.

And yes, Chris' sister will make her debut relatively soon on the series. She will be a fun addition and drive story in ways people might not suspect.

Thanks for reading!

Good stuff this week!

This whole thing with Nicholas and Andy has been a slow-motion trainwreck: I more or less knew exactly what the moment that ended this episode would look like, but the cringe factor of awaiting it is what's fun. It's hilarious that Melissa used her, uh, powers of persuasion for good for once, only to have it cause such hell for Nicholas. I will say, if Nicholas was this quick to renounce the priesthood just to f**k Andy, maybe he wasn't that committed to it in the first place. He almost took the Archbishop's criticism as an excuse to give in to his lust.

Meggan has come out of nowhere to become a favorite of mine with her recent responses to Brad. It's great seeing her now cower to his demands. I really do like how this has turned into a cat-and-mouse game between the two of them. I don't imagine that this will solve things by any means, but it's nice to see Meggan taking some real action. l also like the complicated setup with Robin, Max, Paige, Leah, and Jeff. So often, history like what happened with Max/Robin/Adam gets swept aside after the main story is over, but it's feeding into and twisting the characters' next story, too. I could see this leading to even more conflict between Robin and Adam, too.

Is it bad I'm rooting for Kim to get one over on Natasha and Robbie and emerge victorious? They've been so obnoxious that it's making me root for her. And I like how Cory is standing up to Natasha, too.

Excited for tomorrow's big Friday ep!

[Bre]

I did too put together today's cliffhanger would end with Melissa and the Arch Bishop watch Nicholas and Andy finally get into temptation. It seem Nicholas wasn't committed to the priesthood although I chalk that up to being part of his overall personality of being upset with the critiques his superior gave him about the church. I can't wait to see how they will deal with all of this tomorrow. We knew Melissa The Saint wasn't going to last so I'm sure she will have Andy in her crosshairs for ruining things for her baby boy.

Meggan is becoming one of my favorites on the series as of late too. She isn't taking any of Brad's mess about blackmailing her about Logan being Jeff's. It seems Brad cares more about his family than the possibility of losing the boy he has raised since he was born and the woman he had feelings for too. Leah/Robin both our keeping huge secrets too that involve the men in their lives too. When Logan's true paternity comes out it will definitely the Claus/Richardson household for years to come.

Uh Oh!!! Cory & Natasha having problems in their marriage. I'm wondering if Shane is going to ride in on his white horse to rescue his ex-wife? I do shake my head at Cory for hiding the truth about Robbie/Brooke but he is mad at his wife for suing her stepmother about Bob's will.

Good Episode!!! Can't wait for tomorrow's conclusion!!!

This moment has been building since Andy and Nicholas first met; they've always had their attraction and this is when they are finally caving and giving in to it. The piece with Nicholas is that he really felt like his job was over because of how the Arch Bishop has been treating him; he is dedicated to the priesthood, he just feels like it's over and Andy is there and he is likely thinking with his lower head. Tomorrow should be fun with some of this fallout!

I'm glad you're liking this side of Meggan! Like I said before, when I had this idea of Brad blackmailing her into silence, I knew that she would cave and keep the secret of Cheresa …but I wanted Meggan to really be over and done with Brad as a result. So, I'm glad this side of her is gaining your approval.

And, this is part of the reason I had Abby & Max's plan to split up Paige & Andrew work because I thought the family drama that could come from a potential pairing of Paige and Max would be fun. Plus, there is still this huge secret hanging over their heads that Max did work with Abby to break up Paige's relationship with Andrew. So there's a lot of layers of drama, which is fun!

It is okay to root for Kim in this circumstance! Both sides have their valid points and everyone is acting out of grief. The drama is just getting started with this lawsuit.

And will Shane rush in and save Natasha? Who knows? Time will tell.

Thanks for reading!!

Yup, THERE's the Melissa we all know and... know. LOL. It's nice to see Andy back at the forefront of story, but I'm gonna guess that he wishes he weren't in Melissa's crosshairs. Having Nicholas be caught this quickly and ostensibly lose his job should make for some great drama!

No joke, I think I've been to that sushi spot where Vinny met Brett! That was a very normal conversation between them... which makes me uneasy. Still no idea what Vinny has in mind, but there's more to this than simply wanting to reconnect with his brother. It's an interesting flip to perhaps have Brett be the one getting played by Vinny this time around.

Eva is so loathsome! She just runs around town guilt-tripping people who have been genuinely hurt so that her daughter won't have to take responsibility for anything. Her denial is one of the reasons Brandy's reign of terror went on so long in the first place. I wish Helen would slap her ass. It's entirely possible that, given the facts, a judge would sentence Victoria to mental health care instead of prison anyway.

Congratulations on another successful week of dailies! Your output is truly unmatched.

[Bre]

I also throw in Congratulations for another good May Sweeps/Dailies.

Hello, Melissa, we've been waiting on you, I knew she was going to take it out on Andy when she saw he and Nicholas having sex. And of course her baby boy isn't to blame as well. Andy better sleep with one eye open or he'll be locked somewhere being fed rats or tortured.

I think Cassie initially hooked up with Jacob because she wanted to stick it to Natasha. However, it seems she actually falling for him. Although, since it is a soap it is all going to end in tears eventually.

#TeamHelen I'm sorry Eva, but everyone isn't going to keep making allowances for Victoria/Brandy to do destructive things to them and they not get any punishment. Also like Michael said a judge would've probably sent her to a mental health facility nine times out of ten.

Mamabear Melissa certainly did come out! And, this could be a new tension for Melissa and Andy moving forward. But I agree with you Michael, it is nice having Andy back in the front burner seat since she has been supporting for so long.

I googled restaurants at the Grove to get a real place! I've only been to LA once, so I don't really know it as well as other places but I'm glad you have been there! This Vinny story is a definite slow burn and will be revealed in time.

HA! Yes, Eva's world really does revolve around her, doesn't it? The question will become whether or not her plead to Helen changes her mind to press charges or not. There are good points to both sides here so it becomes Helen's new dilemma.

This Cassie/Jacob thing will really take front center once the trial is over; Jacob won't want the wedding to happen during the battle but we will continue see different layers of this relationship. You're right, Cassie is falling for him which will be a wrinkle down the road.

Thank you both for your support – I know the dailies produces a lot of material!
