Okay, while I do enjoy the Horton Christmas ornament hanging, I'd prefer to have more of it and less Hope and Rafe in jail. It was a bit jarring to have Shawn-no-longer-Douglas suddenly show up to hang his ornament, and his dad's.
It was really a brief little bit. Boo
:angry:
Yes my sentiments exactly. Less Rafe/Hope, less Deimos and no Chad/Gabi in bed.
Chad got to see Abby TODAY!!
This surprised me as well. I was sure this would be the cliffhanger tomorrow. Now I feel like tomorrow will be a bonus. I do think we will also get the hospital Christmas story tomorrow.
I liked this part too. Actually the whole ornament scene was wonderful, but it should have been a larger part of the episode in my opinion.
The Doug/JJ scene was terrific and I hope it was foreshadowing for JJ. I'm still rooting for him and Gabi even though she is now on my naughty list. And I agree the Hortons should have led the show today. The were plenty of people in that loving room to have side conversations to carry the show.
Nice to see Doug and Julie as head of the family and not Maggie.
I REALLY wish the show would have been playing up Shawn in the middle of Ciara and Claire all along. Tremendous missed opportunity here. I did like Shawn and Ciara hanging Bo and Hope's ornaments and then looking at Doug and Julie. Claire was also cute on the stepladder. But it would have been nice to have a group hug with the 3 of them after hanging ornaments.
Glad that JJ explained the background of Gabi's ornament. Now it all makes sense.
I suspect Claire and Theo will get in trouble for planting the listening device. Isn't that illegal too?
I was also annoyed with Daniel, Melanie and Parker's ornaments on the tree. I was more annoyed that Victor's ornament was in between Mickey and Maggie. I actually don't think Victor should have one either.
Lucas, Arianna and Thomas all should have been there too. I know da plot but at least have Lucas and Arianna there.
Not interested in Rafe and Hope and Hope forgetting about her family at Christmas. They could have had the kids there too for at least one scene.
Deimos really added no value whatsoever today. He truly was a 3rd wheel. I could have watched the exact same scenes with just Brady and Nicole and they would have had the same impact. I hope Chloe is ok. I liked the very brief scene of Brady trying to wake up Chloe. I want more.
I was also really glad Chad stopped them from making love. I could have done without the professing live though. I watched the ending twice and had goose bumps both times.
