WOW, I was surprised to hear Claire call Hope "Gran", to her face.
She already called her "Gran" to her face a couple weeks ago when she reconciled with Hope at station after her kidnapping. I'm glad they had her do it again.
the angrier it makes me. An exciting story can't be exciting when the lead characters have to be dumbed down to
Same here. Why didn't they question whether it was Orpheus as on as the body was reported missing? Out of character for all involved and I don't like it. The magic show was a joke too. In one scene he sounded just like Orpheus and then in the next one he had a British accent.
The trust fund conversation was completely out of nowhere and pointless. And it doesn't work for me if Shawn, Chelsea and Claire aren't getting mentioned as well. No way Victor would just set up for Ciara and not the others. It doesn't mean they'd accept it but he would attempt it.
I think Ciara in a cop uniform was foreshadowing. I was also annoyed about the discussion Hope had with her about how proud Bo would have been. What about Shawn? I'm sorry but this is just not a realistic way to speak when there are siblings.
The Ciara/Claire stuff was also sudden but I didn't hate it. We knew Ciara had been jealous but Claire has been noticeably absent this week until now so that hasn't helped the dynamic here. I liked that Hope and others noticed something as wrong too. And I liked that Hope didn't automatically defend Ciara. Though Claire should have been spoken to about her "your daughter" comment.
I think Valerie is hiding something or someone.
Nice to get a David Banning mention.
Give me a break about a fundraiser for Abby and no Chad, Jennifer, JJ (understandable), Gabi, Sonny, Adrienne, Lucas. All about Hope yet again. Even storylines or plot points about other people all point to Hope. Even all the compliments today all for Hope. It's the Hope show indeed with no end in sight. She was on 4/5 episodes this week, pretty much dominating every show she was in.
I cannot do the summary next Friday as I'll be traveling. I have to check my schedule for Mon-Wed. But I really can't do all 3 days. Perhaps some of us could divide and conquer since I know we have a few folks who are able to watch the show live.
