For just a few seconds today, we were watching a real soap opera

OMG, that was the strongest proclaimation any man has made on PSSNS

Hearing Julian say that to Eve was a welcomed change. He went from his usual slimy unsympathetic moves, to the point that I actually believed him.

When I read spoilers that Julian was going to apologize to Eve, I didn't raise my expectations. And when I saw their early scenes, when it was Julian using using their past to try and seduce Eve, I felt validated. But then, when he said it with such force. I believed him.

Ben was incredible today. He showed a range of emotion. He went from the smarmy sleezeball Julian, to someone I could actually picture as fierce, and a man to be cautious of. I liked it. It was brief.

For a moment, I actually believed his concern for Eve's life and family if "Their baby" ever reappeared. Of course, things returned to normal when T.C. entered the room and it was back to Julian the coward.

Bravo Ben, his scenes today wowed me, becuase it made me realize that Passions is capable of being compelling. And for those VERY BRIEF moments, Julian was more compelling than any of the Fist Punching, Face Slapping, Nail Clawing residents of Harmony.

That is how it's done.
