Josh/Olivia:

• Nice Josh.. you think that Olivia may have killed herself and you take the time to close the door.
• Josh: "I'm not going anywhere…" They must've cut it off early before he siad "…cuz I wanna see you naked!"
• Weehaw.. I really like Jolivia. I love their banter. Olivia, for all her mental deficiencies, is one hoppin' lil' whippersnapper.
• [after she stands up naked in the bath] "You satisfied?" A double entendre if ever I heard one.
• Olivia: "you wank-head" – OMG! I've used that before!
• Um, Olivia? He's been there for at least 5-10 minutes. Why do you feel the need to constantly be in a robe around the guy?
• Self-effacing Olivia is someone I really like. She's punishing herself and pushing people away so that she doesn't get hurt. Oh how I like it.

• "Operation fall in love with me"?? Oy. Ok, being nice.. great hair, Cassie!
• Fashion show: Make the aqua one stop. Still like the hair, though!
• I think I just need them to move on to a DIFFERENT conversation.
• You know, I had a mini-epiphany regarding this storyline today - I can buy a story of Cassie trying to be something that she's not a whole lot more than I can buy the romantic angle of this story. Which is odd, because I love romance, I'm a romance ho. I live for romance in soaps. And this romance just isn't cuttin' it with me. Is it the characters? Is it the actors? That's to be determined and left in the back pockets of my mind.
• Ok, so this is the fluff, huh? The fluff that's supposed to offset all the drama? I see. Every show has one. Every show actually NEEDS one. I get it now. Still don't like it, but I get it.

• Love Rick's moment of reflection – Sir, may I have some more?

• Hm? Were they on today? I think I saw flashes of yellow here and there…
• Anyone else get all hot n bothered over Danny's open collar and un-tied tie? Nummy.
• Wow, David actually used his brain for a second by calling everyone on their MichelleAlibi's. It's a New Year's miracle!
• I still love how she fits so damn perfectly in his arms.
• And put Joie in more yellow, please. It makes her effervescent.
• Sooooo… will this lie of Danny's go the way of Drew's involvement? I don't know. Spoilers (and yeah, like I can rely on them!) say that Danny's plan backfires and blows up in his face. So we shall see. While I don't like him lying to her, I can see why it's important for HER to believe this right now. Just get her out of jail already!
• To TPTB: Please hurry this up, and hurry this up quickly. Unfortunately, we know Michelle goes to trial, so this is but a brief respit from the same ol' same ol', but I'm soooo ready for it. Honestly? I'm just biding my time til March when this is all over. Just gimme some good Manny scenes until then for me to enjoy. That's all I ask. :)

• Does Carmen know the meaning of the term "casual wear"? (besides, of course, her jogging outfit) It's mid-day, mid-week and she's visiting a "friend" in the hospital in a shiny dinner suit?
• If you were anywhere here in California, you would've heard me scream "four words Vanessa – michelle didn't kill ben!" Argh!
• "Hi, I'm a day-play.. er.. nurse standing in the hallway. I'll go ask the doctor about a sedative. Meanwhile, I'll leave morphine sitting right here for anyone to take." Sheeya right.
• Oh jeez. Maybe some doctor at the hospital could give some kind of lobotomy special for a group of 3 or more. With David and Drew in line, me thinks Matt should be but one step behind.
• It's so nice to see MK do more than lie there.
• If it hadn't been done so effectively on OLTL a couple of years ago and just recently on AMC, the use of aphasia as the reason Vanessa can't talk (or make sense) would work now. And it would give MK a chance to shine like we all know she can.
• KM is just doing wonderfully as Vanessa's husband, but I don't think he buys his newfound respect for and friendship with Carmen any more than I do.
• I cannot even put into words how insipid I think this aspect, especially, of this whole plot is.

• Ray's got that cockeyed eyebrow thing that Michelle has going for her.
• How practical. I may not be a big church-goer, but it's nice to see Ray get his hands dirty and re-filling the candles. I kindof always wondered who did that. :)
• LOL at the "mob marriage, mob merger.." babbling that Bill was doing.
• I love my lilVal. I just wanna hug him.
• Pilar as a nun? Ya know.. I say bring back Dinah and go from there.. I would actually enjoy that!
• I'm a little ticked that they just all of a sudden had Bill love Pilar. Yet another case of TPTB not letting us see what they're doing with the characters and simply assuming that we would let it slip by without noticing. Sure, this couple isn't exactly their big ratings draw, but to see it happen here is NOT comforting. It just means that it can still happen anywhere on the canvas.
• Ok, but wasn't Bill just adorable? :)
• I think Pilar took dressing tips from Mommy Dearest.. Give me access to Carmen's bank account and I'll show them the softer side of Sears.

A frustrating day for this viewer.. not enough Manny, that stupid Carmen crap (yes, ok.. I hate Carmen.. I don't love to hate her, I simply hate her), not enough Rick, too much Richass, makes for one grumpy Candy. :)
