Today’s show was ok.

Subject: Yep, Charity is Grace’s kin alright.

We left off with the kids and Tabby/Timmy as Charity accuses Tabby of being a witch. Tabby is struck silent, while Reese is happy to finally have someone on his side.  Reese says that he knew Tabitha was one, and they ask Charity how she knows. She tells them that the Warlocks told her. Well, Kay thinks that this proves how crazy Charity is, and the others have their doubts. Charity’s really getting into what the Warlocks told her, when……

She proved that she was kin to Grace….

And, faints dead away.

LOL

And, when she woke up, what do you think happened?

It was back to the beginning for this story. Charity has had amnesia HOW MANY TIMES?

Convenient amnesia that wipes away possible progress for this story. And, people wonder why I call this the worst story on Passions.

The kids go into a diatribe about ‘evil being invited back to Harmony’. Reese thinks that it’s Tabitha, while Charity turns and looks at Kay, who is like, ‘whatever’.

IS Charity accusing Kay of bringing evil?

Of course not, that would be storyline progress.

She tells the group of her visions: Sheridan and Luis and the boat, Theresa and another man – she thinks it might be Julian, but doesn’t say so to the group, and then, the vision of Kay and Miguel making love. Miguel assures her that it’s not going to come true, while this is just what Kay wants to hear.

The Warlocks begin talking to Charity, demanding that she help them. She, of course, is the only one who can hear them. When she refuses to help them, they begin a rockslide inside of the cave.

This story has been nothing but FILLER. Not an inch of progress to the worst story on Passions.
 


Subject: That David is quite a manipulator, isn’t he?

We got to see more shades to the character of David Hastings. This man is Smooth. VERY smooth. He knows what to say to get what he wants.

I go back and forth as to whether or not I think he’s a good guy. There’s sometimes, when he speaks to Grace, like in the early part of their conversation, where he tells her what she meant to his life; he knew, the  moment that he met her, that the purpose was for him to try and please her. He spoke of how she got his life in order. How he began his passion of photography because of her, and how it kept him from drowning in the loneliness and sadness when she was gone. I even sort of feel for him, when he reminds Grace of all the ‘little things’ that she did while they were together: her love of mystery novels, the pencil and paper at the nightstand, the way he knew what kind of juice she drank. Those little details between a couple that an outsider would miss.

And, then, he scored serious points, when, upon hearing Grace praying for Sam and her family, he told her that he wanted her to be happy, and if she believed she was going to be happy with her children and SAM, he wanted that for her.

Boy, did he lull Grace in with that one.

Now, that Grace was ‘on the hook’, and he had eased in there to her confidence, it was time to make his move.

Grace, he innocently asks…..

Since everyone has told me about this deep love between Sam and Ivy….

How can you be sure that this is over.

KAPOW!!!!

Boy, did he hit every nerve and insecurity of Grace’s, or what?

Grace immediately jumped to Sam’s defense, but, at every turn, there was David, with a few innocent but pointed words, chipping away at Grace’s security about her marriage to Sam.

I dunno about David. I think he has an agenda. One that we know nothing about.
 



 

Subject: Sam, I guess you couldn’t leave Poison Ivy

Our dear Poison Ivy was struck by lightening today, and she fell to the ground.

Sam, dear Sam, was beside himself. He rushed to Ivy’s side, and even gave her mouth-to-mouth. Of course, there were no chest pushes, and, he’s only the Chief of Police, but, I guess we’re supposed to say, ‘ this is Passions’.

Once Ivy comes back to life, Sam tries to get her help, but, the cellphones are down, and no one is answering the walkie-talkie, so Sam tries to get her shelter underneath in a space beneath the tower. We got Sam’s coat off…Dare I hope that we’ll get his shirt off tomorrow? Naked Sam is always a good thing.

The shock has sent Ivy into the past. She’s remembering times at the beach with Sam, and her remembering has Sam remembering. I love those 70’s flashbacks; they crack me up.

In the end, Sam won’t leave Ivy. I thought they were very good today, and I don’t even like Savy.
 
 



 

Subject: Weekend at Theresa’s?
 

I couldn’t resist. Watching Julian drag Theresa around on Friday and Today reminded me of Weekend at Bernie’s. Ben Masters has been absolutely fabulous these past two days, as a man in a heap of trouble, and trying to get out of it anyway he can.

There were so many LMAO moments with these scenes today.

Moment One: Gwen’s amusement as Luis chopped in the door.

What was that smile for? I tend to think it’s because she’s appreciating the fine male specimen that is Luis. She’s not dead, and he’s a hunk. Looking at him, testosterone filled, chopping that door down – so He-man, so Luis…LOL

Once they get into the room, everyone searches the places that Julian was thinking about: first the bathroom, then the shower. Luis even opened up the armoir. Rebecca looked in and saw the Pirate costume.

While she was sad, we had another LMAO moment: the reactions of Whitney and Gwen to the ‘costume’.

Whitney looked like she was going to vomit on the spot, at the thought of Julian in costume, and Gwen told her mother that she had crossed a line- nobody wanted to hear about that. Their reactions, so close to one another, yet the same, was too funny.

Of course, Rebecca the sneak, would think of the ‘under the bed’, while the two clueless ones, Luis and Ethan hadn’t thought of it at all. Once there’s nothing under the bed, they go out to the terrace to look for them. Chad wonders why Whitney looks so worried, and she says that he doesn’t want to know.

All the while, Julian is dragging Theresa around, and she’s so out of it, she’s saying Ethan’s name. Julian finally gets her back to her room, and in the bed, when he tries to get away. But, from one side, here comes Rebecca and Gwen. From the other side, here comes Luis and Ethan.

UH OH!!

Ben Masters is so funny. His comedic timing is impeccable, and Julian’s outfit cracked me up too. I love the robe and slippers. No way for him to get out of this..LOL
