I LOL'd so hard at "Are you going to design some stupid winter wear or are you going to die?" When Vinny puts it that way...

This is such a flip in the Victors dynamic. Now Vinny is the bad guy and Brett is the one locked up begging for release. I'm very curious about what this all means going forward. Vinny has turned into a full-on villain. I'm still eager to know what his full plan is! I'm guessing the Robertson launch will be a big November sweeps event, as you seem to be building to it.

I was surprised by how heated Leah and Jeff got at Dominick, and how quickly, but it makes sense. They feel that Dominick undermined their parenting by giving Paige the money. Someone is going to have to crack and reveal what Max actually did in order for this to play out. And then, of course, Adam will find out and be pissed at Robin, who really had no other choice. Secrets always have a way of coming out!

Run, Craig, run! He needs to free himself from this toxic cycle with Donovan and Lukas ASAP. Then he can find someone more suitable for himself. I do understand why he feels hurt and left out, though. They get to have the ostensible happy ending and he's all alone -- which has to sting doubly given all he went through at Brandy's hands.

Excited for the upcoming dailies!

I guess at the end of the day the Victor brothers are more a like than they thought. I knew that Vinny wasn’t the one drawing the designs, much like everyone else other than Dominick! Lol. I am sure there will be more legs for this story during the sweeps, so I cannot wait to read it! I just wonder who is going to foil Vinny’s plan first, if anyone? Also, Dominick showing so much emotion towards Trey... did I imagine more between them? IDK.

I like the connection between Robin and Nicholas, their sibling bond is really refreshing to see in soaps as sometimes we don’t get that from characters — especially half-siblings. In really liked the advice she gave him as far as getting out there and getting out of his apartment. He really has a lot that he is letting weigh him down so it’ll be nice to see where and what he ends up doing now for his future.

I agree with Michael! Craig needs to run! Haha. Of course he won’t because it gives us so much soapy drama but he really needs to start thinking about his happiness and future as opposed to whatever tornado Donovan and Lukas are brewing! I don’t buy that they are both truly happy, but they do seem ever so stubborn enough to keep it all together.

I know that Leah and Jeff are just trying to prove a point to Paige and that they do have reasons as to why they want her away from Max but I just don’t agree with their actions of how they’re going about it. I guess Dominick agrees with my opinion on that as that checkbook came out of his pocket faster than she can say grandpa. I am sure this will only bring more tension to the family now that he has basically been banished from their home just like Paige has been! Lol. This is one of those storylines where nobody really is in the wrong but actions and consequences are cause for chaos here.

So waiting for those Dailies, Dallas!

You're both right, this is a flip with the brothers in terms of who is holding the other hostage. This family dynamic is so interesting because they have never really had a chance to heal because as soon as Vinny was free, Brett went to jail. So, they haven't bene able to hash anything out. And yes, the November launch will have a lot of fireworks – the launch will be the set of dailies in November and it will also impact the Craig/Donovan/Lukas storyline.

Jeff and Leah reacted so quickly because they are already tense with Paige moving out and still seeing Max. Hearing that Dominick went behind their back and supported Paige really set them off because they are trying to teach her a lesson. Like Bre has said, this would be moot point if Paige would actually get a job lol.

This triangle has been going on forever because of the back and forth between the three players. I still like the idea of a throuple for them 😉 This is another story that will take a much different direction than people think it will go. Like I said above, November is a big month for these three. Until then, we will see Craig and Lukas wrestle with this lingering attraction while Donovan plans a wedding.

Thanks for this compliment! When I was introducing the character of Nicholas, I wanted to have him to have a connection to existing character on canvas because I like when people related. It helps the character have more meaningful interactions and people tend to like characters that have a connection already to the series. Robin seemed like the natural point and I've tried to make them be there for one another when they are needed.

Thanks to both of you for reading! I hope you like the dailies next week!
