I didn't get the "Paris Story" either, WHY was Greenlee so upset?? Did I miss something? Yep, about 92 more days to GO GO GO!

Welcome, Spinning!

Hi Aprille, Sherry, and Faith!

Thanks for thinking of me with the spoiler space, Aprille! Even though my predictions are often way off base, I still like to try to guess what will happen with the storylines in the future!

I also loved the interaction between Petey and Trey (and Kendall), yesterday. That kid is very funny! I loved how he said "son and heir". I knew that Kendall and Trey would wind up living together, or something similar. What I want to know is, why would Greenlee allow someone like Kendall to live in her building, but not Simone??? Oh well, it looks like Simone has a nice home at Myrtle's place, now. I can't believe the way that she defends her father - she really does need some serious therapy!

I was happy when it looked like Mia was about to tell Leo everything about Trey. And I was glad to see her finally stand up for herself with Trey and not let him grab or pull her (if she's supposed to be "Rocky" and "Champ", why doesn't she just deck him??!!). But I'm still mad at her for talking down to Marian, the other day and for always being so cold to Jake when he tries to help her.

I was very touched by the scene between Nessa and Greenlee, yesterday. But I was unclear about the timeframe, too - how long was Roger supposed to have been working for Proteus? It was implied, when he first came on the show, that Roger and Vanessa had had an affair years ago.....but I think that the Paris trip that she referenced yesterday was supposed to have been more recent........anyway, it was moving. Greenlee does such a great job - she can make her eyes well up with tears at will. And I just love Leo's facial expressions, like when Mia was telling Jake what a jerk Trey is!

I really would have thought that Chris would come up with a more romantic way to propose to Erica........he should have at least put some flowers and candles up in the construction site, if that was where he was planning to pop the question!

And Bianca NEVER would have left Erica's office key just lying around - especially with Kendall in the building. Speaking of Kendall being in the building, I really think that they need a new security staff at Enchantment! While they're at it, they can replace the one at Wildwind, in advance......you just know that Maria is going to crash Brooke and Edmund's wedding (like Kelsey crashed Hoolia and Noah's, years ago.......like the thugs got on to the property to kill Gillian or go after Anna......)!

Have a great weekend, Everyone!

Does anybody know what big event is going to happen today? We all know they don't have storms on soaps for no reason. They've been doing an awful lot of talking about Richard Fields today also for some reason.

The biggest event is that we now know Trey’s parents are Vanessa and Richard Fields, although I’m not sure if Trey knows the identity of his father. Kendall is his half-sister. Would he have framed her for the arson if he knew that?

Maybe this is why Vanessa hates Erica. If she was in a relationship with RF at the time he raped Erica and charges were brought against him (which I don’t think happened but how many times have we seen them rewrite history?!) perhaps it’s what broke up their relationship. Heck, maybe it triggered her multiple personality disorder. She was pregnant and gave the baby (Trey) up for adoption. Remember when she grabbed Jamie in the hospital and was saying, “I haven’t forgotten you, son” or something similar? Trey resents his mother for giving him up (hence his anger at Mia) and his sole purpose has been to make Vanessa pay. It’s all coming together. Finally! I’m a little ticked that we found out Trey’s parentage before Leo’s father has been revealed but I’m just glad to see some MAJOR movement in this long, drawn-out storyline! Woohoo!

I’m also happy about Erica and Chris getting engaged.

Great show today but what was the deal about everyone talking about how hot it was?!?! Uh, whenever a thunderstorm is brewing don't temperatures generally drop significantly?!?!

 

[Poohbear123]

Missed the show today. I am feeling ill......

 

[Aprille]

Faith - are you feeling ill because you missed a great show or are you physically ill? Or are you ill about what happened on the show?

Whatever it is, I hope you feel better real soon!

 

[minniecarousel]

Aren't we still concerned that Roger is Leo's father? That would be soap-opera wierd. You could have knocked be over with a feather with the suggestion today on the show that Richard Fields is Trey's father! At least Trey & Kendall haven't been romantically involved with each other!

Well, I am!!! The viewers have been led to believe that Roger and Vanessa had an affair many years ago.

I know that Greenlee and Leo will NOT turn out to be siblings no matter who Leo's father is. No how, no way! If Roger is Leo's father than someone else (Jack) will be Greenlee's father. But I find it unsettling that the "possibility" is hanging in the air. ICK! ICK! ICK!

That's one reason I found Nessa's Paris story so creepy the other day. I'm thinking - Greenlee - hello?! - you don't know who your husband's father is and you just found out that your MIL and father have known each other for many, many years. And we all know how Vanessa sleeps around. Will someone please start connecting the dots?!?! ICK! ICK! ICK!

And wouldn't you think one of the first questions Leo would have asked "Nessa" was who his father is instead of where the dang Proteus money is?!

I'm still holding out hope that Leo's father is the Count, blue eyes and all.

Ok so I'm about 50 or more posts behind!! I moved at the end of May and for two months, we had no phone, internet or cable. (So much for keeping up with AMC). And now that we do have cable I'm always at work, and my bf is great at monopolizing the tv. So what's going on on the show. I caught a couple minutes of it one day, but was pretty sick so don't remember much. When I look at TV Guide they're referencing people I don't know. Let me see if I can make this somewhat easier. Is Ryan gone for good? What's going on with Adam and Liza? What about Mia? How was Leo and Greenlee's wedding, did it really happen??? Yeah well... you all get the idea. It's great to be back... funny how you miss the little things in life.

Thanks
ESpec

PS Lisa how was the wedding and honeymoon?

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

Hi all, I too missed Friday's show. What did I miss?

Hope everyone is having a good weekend and I hope you feel better soon Faith.

 

[Poohbear123]

Yes, I am doing better, I am off today and tomorrow. I need the rest, as I was working from 5:00am till 12 noon last week. Back to my regular Schedule this week. The thought came thru my mind concerning Leo and his being Roger's Son too! That would be really FREAKY! Will watch the show today, and part of tomorrow as I have a "hair" appointment!

 

[IASW Rider]

Hey Everyone!

Glad to hear that you're feeling better, Faith!

I loved your theory about Richard raping Erica while he was involved with Vanessa, Aprille, and Vanessa's resenting Erica (and Trey's resenting Mia), etc. Very interesting! So glad that we finally have an idea about Trey's motivation, etc. I just hope that Kendall doesn't start coming on to him when they move in together - what's with all of these pseudo-incestuous relationships / storylines, lately??!!

Welcome Espec! Will try to answer your questions:

- Unfortunately, Ryan is gone for good. He "caught" Kendall trying to seduce Aidan (she was really just trying to distract him, since he caught her breaking into Erica's penthouse construction site), and left her and the show, about a month and a half ago.

- Greenlee and Leo got married. At their "big ceremony", the butler of the man whom Leo thought was his father (??!!) tried to shoot Leo, and accidentally shot and killed Roger, instead. Leo and Greenlee fled the big ceremony and went off and got married by themselves, with Anna and David as witnesses, in that great social center of Pine Valley.......the boathouse!

- Adam knows that Liza took money from his company. Liza knows that Adam is trying to prove that she is crazy / an unfit mother as revenge, to try to take Colby away from her. Adam has now kidnapped Colby and taken her to Idaho (fishing with Stuart) with him. Liza is in NY, speaking with a divorce / child custody lawyer. Mia is sort of being drawn in by Adam's charms (and his constant insistence that Liza is crazy), but she is essentially still loyal to Liza. I don't think that Adam really cares about Mia - just using her to make Liza angry and to amuse himself.

Hope that that answers them - sort of!

As I said, at least now we're beginning to understand Trey's motivations for being so cruel and for resenting Mia and acting as though her decision to give up her son personally affected him somehow. I guess he really did give the check for the little boy (foster child) to have the operation out of the goodness of his heart and not as a ploy to do something bad to Mia and Frank. Maybe we'll start to see his "nice" side, now. Nice or mean, I still love him - what can I say??

At first I thought that Chris's proposal was going to be totally unromantic, but when he explained that that ribbon had been in his family and was his grandmother's, and that proposing with ribbons was a tradition in his family, I changed my mind. And I was so happy when Erica said "yes"! At least they didn't drag that out over several episodes.....and at least they didn't then go to commercial with ".....YOU TOO CAN OWN ERICA'S ENGAGEMENT RING.....!" I wonder if it will wind up on "Shop the Soaps", along with Greenlee's, Kendall's, and Brooke's rings??!!

Have a great day, Everyone!

I DON'T KNOW BUT IT'S MAKING ME CRAZY!!!!! If they don't wrap up the parentage of some of these characters soon I'm going to SCREAM!!! We even had some hint at Aidan's "secret" past yesterday. I'm tired, tired, TIRED of the who's-my-daddy storylines.

Okay, all better now.

I guess that's why they had Trey in bed with an unknown character yesterday. Hey, Lisa - how did you like Trey out of his suit?!?! Finally they took some clothes off that boy!! He was looking mighty fine.

And while I'm here let me mention how much I hated the "near-miss" of Edmund and Maria at the Pine Cone yesterday with more to come today. By my calculations we have at least 2 more weeks of this crap. UGH!

 

[Poohbear123]

I have my Hair Appointment today, so I will be missing the show! I guess I will have to tape it!

 

[Pembo]

Ok I watched today (Tues) and yesterday. I wondered who the unknown character Trey was with as well?! She must be a nurse from PVH because that's the only place we ever see Trey! And Yum yum Trey with no shirt...more please. I liked the pajama bottom only thing.

Kendall....someone please feed her. And didn't we already have the "your father said the same thing as you said" storyline with Ryan and Chris and that whole Buddy thing?!

Where is the actor who plays Aidan from? That accent is so distinct...but what it is it?

I agree Aprille, the Maria cat and mouse thing is old. Just get it over with already! And doesn't Edmund know Aidan??? He's Anna's relative right and he's been around for a bit?! How odd!

And why didn't Maddie draw Jamie in the picture of "My family"?


These are the questions of my inquiring mind........

 

[Aprille]

Funny line of the day…

Trey referring to the Proteus CD: "It's got to be in a much safer place before my local Mata Hari and her tall, goofy sidekick come around for more snooping."

Did anyone else crack up that the CD is labeled "Proteus file"?!?! One would think that Trey would come up with something a little more clever to cover his tracks. LOL!

Was anyone else hoping that Aidan would smack Kendall back?!

Hands in the air for those who knew it was Aidan touching Maureen/Maria’s shoulder and not Edmund. :::raises hand high in the air and waves wildly::: If Edmund was so concerned about the woman he heard in Aidan’s room why didn’t he at least insist on hearing from her that she was okay even if he didn’t see her?! Oh yeah, of course, he would recognize her voice. Have I mentioned how much I hate this whole thing?!

LOL Pembo! I was composing my reply when you posted yours. I was going to bring up Jamie missing from the picture Maddie drew too!

 

[Pembo]

Hand Raised for knowing it was Aidan not Edmund....not a good cliff hanger at all! DUH!!!!

Proteus File-I caught that too!!!!!

If Aidan smacked Kendall...she break..FEED HER!!!
