Additional Comments:

I am glad to see Natalie finally bring Rex into this investigation.  It makes perfect sense that Natalie would go to Rex for help, especially since McBain has already deemed Jared guilty.  Even though I don't have any fondness for either Rex or Nat, I do love their relationship.  Natalie needs someone in her corner, who is willing to believe Jared's innocence like she does.  Jessica is too close to the situation.  Rex and Natalie doing some PI work would be a nice change from supercop McBain. 

Blair, Blair, Blair.  Why won't she just spit out the truth already?  She must have changed and changed her mind back at least ten times on today's show.  It is always good to see Todd and Blair go back and forth.  These two know each other so well that they guess the moves ahead of time.  But it was nice to see Blair back at the Cramer mansion with her family.  Hope is adorable with Starr and her grandparents.  I wish Sam was there as well.

The Bo/Nora/Matthew/Kevin scenes were good.  Matthew is being a complete brat, but I am enjoying him giving his Parents a hard time.  He has every reason to be mad at them.  His line about Bo/Nora and their selective legal ethics was great.  I am enjoying what little scenes he has with Kevin.

Rachel is an idiot for going along with Shaun's perception of their relationship.  I know it is a soap staple, but I hate it when they drag things along because someone is sick or in a wheelchair or pregnant.  I don't think she should get together with Greg, but she should tell Shaun the truth and fast.  Rachel is also an idiot for telling Tea about Greg.  The next time Tea needs the ammo, she will sell her out.  Tea spilling her guts to Rachel was interesting.  Thomas, really??  Could they be any more obvious with Matthew's roommate?

I had been waiting to see when Natalie would get Rex involved; he's a P.I., and her stepbrother, why did she wait so long before asking for his help?

I thought Kim was going to pick David, It seemed like the best choice to me. I hope Kim's pursuit of Bo drives him and Nora crazy- they deserve it.

    Gag me on the name of Matthew's roommate.  Thomas Todd Manning was supposedly Todd's "real" name and he used it as the name of fa aked alter.  Little T-T-T-Tom was a sweet young boy, and Tea liked to mother him.  PUKE!!  I would've named the boy Rod (after Todd's suave, animalistic side) or something Puerto Rican.

    Love that Kimmie's after the Commish.  He deserves a lady.  He's long overdue, and can this one be any worse than Paige, Melanie or Hank the Cannon?  Nigel, you may have the night off.  Kim and I can clean up after ourselves. [after feeding each other strawberries and whipped cream]

  • Tom and the way Tea acted with him, yuk!! Even thinking about it makes me want to throw up. I odn't wnat Kimmie with Bo, but I am sure it will be fun to watch her try to rope him in. ladfan
  • LOL! I'm on the Kimbo band wagon too. //SqueezeMe
  • Thomas was also the name Sam was given before Todd knew he was his son.
  • Kimbo Slice is guest-starring on OLTL? When?
  • ICS, I think Sam was named thomas after Micheal and John's father Thomas McBain. I think Kimbo is Squeeze's couple name for Kimmy/Bo. ladfan

    I like the Natalie asking Rex which causes problems between him and Gigi which leads to Gigi and Sky going to a concert.   But then again I liked Dominoes as a kid.

    I wanted Kim to go after David!   Even if it's short it would be a fun ride.

    I can't even stand Bo/Nora duet scenes anymore.  It's like puke but with words.

  • When Kim was going through the Buchanan family tree, I thought she would pick David. THAT would have been fun to watch. ladfan
  • David and Kim would be a lot of fun to watch. I think I could enjoy Kim scheming for her own benefit. It's her scheming for Stacy I have a problem with. Wanda Wolek

    As much as I was happy to see Nat reach out to Rex (IMO, I love the Nat/Rex/Roxy dynamic so much more than I love the Nat/Viki/Clint/Jess dynamic), it was painfully obvious this was more about throwing another monkey wrench at Rex/Gigi than it was about anything else -- drat!

    LOVE the idea of K-Bag going after Bo -- looks like Kimmie Karma's gonna bite the Commish on the butt, and boy, does he deserve it!

    Bo and Nora are real sh*ts for not telling Matthew about Shaun and for not letting him contact Destiny. Welcome to the Buchanan Gulag!

    Instead of all the loose lip girl talk, I would've LOVED for Rachel to let Tea know what happened to her client Matthew. Can't wait for Tea to lose that unflattering jacket!

  • I also hate tea's jacket. Where does she shop? Mars?/countess2
  • Rhonda, I got the sense that the Rex/Natalie setup was as much about Gigi as it was Natalie. But anything for some support for Natalie. I love Matthew's zingers to his parents, they deserve it. Tea's jacket was fug, she usually has great clothes. Even Natalie had similar coat on the other day which was black with white trimmings and such, equally hideous. ladfan
  • Forgot to add, Rachel and Tea talk for an hour and no mention of Matthew's abduction? What was up with that? ladfan
  • I missed Thursday's episode. I know Destiny called the San Francisco hospital and learned the surgery was canceled, but does Rachel know that Bo and Nora kidnapped Matthew? Wanda Wolek
  • Yes, Rachel now knows, but she hasn't expressed an opinion about it yet. ~ Rhonda
