I had read yesterday's episode and today's episode, and I must say I am delighted to be reaching several climaxes in these stories as new ones begin.
It looks like once again Greg and Madeline will be the third wheel, as it is clearly obvious that both Kim and Robbie are still in love with one another, causing more chaos in that quad.
And it looks like Ethan and Paige are getting closer; nonetheless, I have a suspicion of things but will decide to keep it to myself until then.
The calm before the storm on this wedding as Shane and Natasha think they have managed to pull off this scheme, but with Cassie on her way to what probably Sophie filled her in on, I'm sure it's going to get messy for everyone there.
And I figured Cory wasn't dead; however, I thought Antonio had not only arranged the plane crash but also stashed him away. I didn't expect him to be on a farm, which is giving me a bit of Victory and Hope on Y&R vibes when his plane crashed and was presumed dead in 1993.
Good start to the dailies!!!

Ooh wow! I had a feeling that Cory would eventually be revealed to be alive, but like Bre, I thought Antonio was holding him somewhere. I had even wondered if that revelation would be the big Friday cliffhanger. Instead we get it on a Tuesday, and with a twist: Paris Hilton as a farm girl! I immediately thought of amnesiac Mickey wandering onto the Simmons farm and meeting Maggie back in the 70s. Very classic soap trope! I'm guessing Cory has amnesia. That mention of this woman's fiancé is also intriguing. Looks like we have an interesting new story on the horizon!
It feels like all hell is about to break loose at the wedding. Natasha and Shane are simply too smug. We know that Sophie went to see Cassie... so I suspect something's gonna go down since the ceremony is beginning now. Should be fun! It's a season for the old couples to reconnect, it seems: Robin/Cory, Natasha/Shane, and now Adam/Helen, as well. I had been wondering if Adam was going to tell anyone about the strange scene he found at Helen's house, so now he's putting together the pieces. Dale seems to be completely off the deep end, too. It's clear he hasn't really thought through his plan, which could make him more dangerous. I'm not surprised, per se, that Kim's instinct is to call for Robbie -- but now I wonder if Greg is going to keep this knowledge close to the vest and she'll have no memory of that admission, so he'll manipulate her into staying with him. I could see him and Madeline joining forces, too.
I'm eager to find out more about the Clayton situation! There's a ton going on this week as we head toward the big 1000.

I had read yesterday's episode and today's episode, and I must say I am delighted to be reaching several climaxes in these stories as new ones begin. Yes, there are a lot of stories reaching a peak this week - which I planned to align with ODaaT1000! It looks like once again Greg and Madeline will be the third wheel, as it is clearly obvious that both Kim and Robbie are still in love with one another, causing more chaos in that quad. It does seem clear that Robbie & Kim have unresolved feelings for one another. There are some more twists coming in this storyline this week ... stay tuned! And it looks like Ethan and Paige are getting closer; nonetheless, I have a suspicion of things but will decide to keep it to myself until then. You're right, Ethan & Paige are growing closer while they are in Vegas together. This storyline will continue to air out this week - what could possibly happen in Vegas?  The calm before the storm on this wedding as Shane and Natasha think they have managed to pull off this scheme, but with Cassie on her way to what probably Sophie filled her in on, I'm sure it's going to get messy for everyone there. And I figured Cory wasn't dead; however, I thought Antonio had not only arranged the plane crash but also stashed him away. I didn't expect him to be on a farm, which is giving me a bit of Victory and Hope on Y&R vibes when his plane crashed and was presumed dead in 1993. Good start to the dailies!!! Bre The wedding is really going to be messy that is for sure. We have this race against the clock with Cassie - will be be able to stop the wedding or will Jacob and Isabelle marry? YES! I'm glad you got the Y&R connection - I was inspired by that storyline when I was coming up with this new arch with Cory. It's very Hope/Victor on the farm. I hope you like where this heads ... Thanks for reading! |

That mention of this woman's fiancé is also intriguing. Looks like we have an interesting new story on the horizon! While the reveal in today's episode was a surprise, I didn't think Cory being alive was that much of a shocker, which is why it wasn't the Friday cliffhanger -- that is something that you won't see coming And yes, Paris is a farm girl. I hope you like where this goes - we will see what is all going on with Cory the rest of this week. And yes, this is the start of a fun new arch! It feels like all hell is about to break loose at the wedding. Natasha and Shane are simply too smug. We know that Sophie went to see Cassie... so I suspect something's gonna go down since the ceremony is beginning now. Should be fun!

I could see him and Madeline joining forces, too. I'm eager to find out more about the Clayton situation! There's a ton going on this week as we head toward the big 1000. The wedding is so messy, I love it. We will see if Cassie will get to the mansion in time or if Jacob will marry Isabelle. But like most wedding's on ODaaT, there's the question of whether or not it will happen. And yes, Dale has completely lost it. He wants to avenge Mallory's death, and similar to the wedding, the question is Will Adam Save Helen bfeore it's too late. I love that you picked up on the couples reuniting - at the end of writing 2022, I telling myself that the "legacy" couples needed to be put back in their orbits, which is why I wrapped up the Adam/Robin/Shane/Helen story, and pushed Robin/Cory, Adam/Helen, Shane/Natasha back together. I hope you enjoy the twists coming wit Robbie & Kim ... the rest of the week, it's going to be wild! Dallas |

Before I give you my comments, congratulations on this amazing accomplishment. 1000 episodes! Not many web series or shows reach that feat, so a thousand more congrats to you and Dallas! Your dedication and hard work always come through!
So, one of my theories was proved to be correct. Although I figured Bryce or Ethan had to be the long-lost child Leah had in Santa Barbara, I didn't expect Noah to be alive after all this time. Since Ethan or Bryce never had much of a backstory, I guessed it had to do with Jeff and Leah. I also like Jeff and Leah deciding to be together; hopefully it lasts for a while as their world is about to be rocked. Not to mention, Paige is marrying her brother. How soapy is that?
Natasha is going to be over her head when it comes to explaining herself to not only Jacob but Sophie too. I figure it's going to draw Sophie closer to Cassie. Isabelle will question whether or not she has an actual marriage due to Jacob's unresolved feelings for Cassie. Though I'm still curious about whether or not Cassie lied about Carter's paternity, either way, the drama isn't going to let up anytime soon.
Robbie, you could've just paid someone to have you "marry" Kim; I mean, she wouldn't know the ceremony was legal and, most importantly, there was no paperwork. Although I know the legality of it, somehow it is going to play a part in the story. I didn't blame Greg and Maddie for taking off. Heck, I wouldn't mind if they got together, but I know both still care about their partners, and I know more stories are coming as I have a suspicion of what's ahead.
Something poetic about Dale dying the same way his daughter did all those years ago as I hope this is the road for Adam and Helen to finally reunite.
Great Episode!!!
Bre

Before I give you my comments, congratulations on this amazing accomplishment. 1000 episodes! Not many web series or shows reach that feat, so a thousand more congrats to you and Dallas! Your dedication and hard work always come through! Thank you so much! I appreciate your readership over the last few years! So, one of my theories was proved to be correct. Although I figured Bryce or Ethan had to be the long-lost child Leah had in Santa Barbara, I didn't expect Noah to be alive after all this time. Since Ethan or Bryce never had much of a backstory, I guessed it had to do with Jeff and Leah. I also like Jeff and Leah deciding to be together; hopefully it lasts for a while as their world is about to be rocked. Not to mention, Paige is marrying her brother. How soapy is that? Like I mentioned in the blog post, Ethan being their son wasn't the big surprise ... the true shocker is that Noah is alive after all these years and is Bryce. We will, of course, find out how and why this all happened, but this is a game changer for Leah/Jeff and Victoria. And YES, I love the twist that Ethan and Paige are married but are actually siblings. It's very soapy and it will really impact them, and Abby, moving forward. Natasha is going to be over her head when it comes to explaining herself to not only Jacob but Sophie too. I figure it's going to draw Sophie closer to Cassie. Isabelle will question whether or not she has an actual marriage due to Jacob's unresolved feelings for Cassie. Though I'm still curious about whether or not Cassie lied about Carter's paternity, either way, the drama isn't going to let up anytime soon. I still love that Cassie is the one exposing Natasha this go around, because historically it was the other way around with Cassie up to no good. But Jacob has married Isabelle, regardless of what happens next, and that adds a complication in this situation. But you're right, Natasha will have a lot of explaining to do to everyone, especially Jacob & Sophie. Robbie, you could've just paid someone to have you "marry" Kim; I mean, she wouldn't know the ceremony was legal and, most importantly, there was no paperwork. Although I know the legality of it, somehow it is going to play a part in the story. I didn't blame Greg and Maddie for taking off. Heck, I wouldn't mind if they got together, but I know both still care about their partners, and I know more stories are coming as I have a suspicion of what's ahead. Something poetic about Dale dying the same way his daughter did all those years ago as I hope this is the road for Adam and Helen to finally reunite. Great Episode!!! Bre This is very Y&R inspired with Victor/Nikki, and I just love that Robbie's mind went to "I have to marry Kim before she dies", even though he is married to Madeline and Kim is engaged to Greg. Maddie and Greg have every right to be put off by all of this, but they also agreed to it, although I don't think Robbie would have taken no for an answer. This really sets up a lot of fun stuff coming up. And like you, I love the full circle moment that happened with Dale being killed the same way that Mallory did all those years ago. We will see if this, finally, puts Adam and Helen back together ... Thanks for reading - I know this month has had a lot of material! |

Happy 1,000! That is such an incredible achievement. Your consistency is so admirable -- no one has EVER posted at the rate that you do. And this was quite a way to mark the big 1,000. The ending of the week hit so many notes. The way that it felt like a montage at the very end was super-soapy. Paige married her brother! How scandalizing. We should've known, since Ethan has Felciia's trademark red hair. But it truly is shocking. I'm so soapified that I'm not going to question how Paige's younger brother went to college with her Uncle Tyler (who I think was already on the show when Paige was SORASed). I seriously had no idea Noah would turn up alive, let alone as Bryce, so this should become a big mess! It's very current Y&R with all the age groups kinda running together, too. It seems like Adam and Helen might be ready for an actual reunion?! Dale dying in exactly the way that his daughter died is pretty poetic, and it feels like this kinda clears the decks for Adam and Helen. I can't believe she got away with KILLING SOMEONE, so I sort of want anyone related to Bob to come after her next. I hope Dawn turns out to be okay, too. It's so much better that Cassie came in *after* Jacob married Isabelle. Even if she destroys Natasha now, there's still a huge thing hanging over everyone. That'll make this even more of a disaster! And Isabelle is kind of this limp thing who will consider this a real marriage, so she'll guilt Jacob, and we know where this is going. It's only a matter of time before Cassie really goes after her, too. But for now, Natasha is in the crosshairs! And now we have Robbie and Kim remarried, with Greg and Madeline on the outskirts. I'm sort of prepped for Maddie to snap, considering how relatively irrelevant she is and how she's had to compete with two "ghosts" who weren't ghosts at all. There are still so many stories you didn't have the chance to bring to a climax this week, which is nuts. Congrats again! |

I seriously had no idea Noah would turn up alive, let alone as Bryce, so this should become a big mess! It's very current Y&R with all the age groups kinda running together, too. First, thank you for your readership over the years! You've been such a constant source of support and inspiration for 20 + years (we Don't know numbers...), so to get to this number, in some ways, wouldn't have been possible without you! and I am so glad you liked the twist at the end. all these weeks you've been like "why haven't they read the files!"? haha - I wanted this twist to come out at the end of this episode because of how wild it is. Like I told Bre, Ethan being revealed as Leah's long lost child might not have been the shock of all shocks, but the Noah reveal really is. I did drop some hints a long the way, like Frederick saying "I know who you really are" in one episode, but for the most part, I wanted this to just be a stunning reveal. And of course, everything will change moving forward as a result. It seems like Adam and Helen might be ready for an actual reunion?! Dale dying in exactly the way that his daughter died is pretty poetic, and it feels like this kinda clears the decks for Adam and Helen. I can't believe she got away with KILLING SOMEONE, so I sort of want anyone related to Bob to come after her next. I hope Dawn turns out to be okay, too. When I ended the Shane/Robin quaderangle, i did want to put Adam and Helen back together, but I never wanted their potential union to go smoothly (it is a soap after all), which is where Dale came into play. I love that he is dead the same way his daughter died, and now, we will see if these two can, finally, reunite and be a family with Dawn. It's so much better that Cassie came in *after* Jacob married Isabelle. Even if she destroys Natasha now, there's still a huge thing hanging over everyone. That'll make this even more of a disaster! And Isabelle is kind of this limp thing who will consider this a real marriage, so she'll guilt Jacob, and we know where this is going.

There are still so many stories you didn't have the chance to bring to a climax this week, which is nuts. Congrats again! Yes - you're right, Jacob marrying Isabelle BEFORE the truth came out because it adds a lot of complication to the story. Of course, Natasha will have a lot of explaining to do, especially to Jacob and Sophie, but that is the fun aspect of this story. Maddie snap ... that mightttttt be coming (especially where I am in my writing lol), but this a great way to get RIM back together, unless Kim does actually die. Thanks for reading - I know there's a lot of material to cover this month! |
