Sorry this is late, I've only just managed to catch up on Wednesday's, Thursday's and Friday's episodes (Friday's thoughts to come later).
Wednesday's Episode - 10.01.08
Caroline: It's not looking good for Caroline - only her prints on the murder weapon and the DA is going to press charges. The fibers found at the scene are of a cotton blend, so that's no help clearing her at this stage. I bet they end up belonging to Max - even though he's innocent of the murder as well (in my opinion).
Victor: I like that Victor wants to help Caroline and it does seem as though they are moving towards a Caroline/Victor re-pairing. I guess enough time has passed since Grandpa Shawn died? READ MORE
Who will EJ choose?
Tuesday's episode 09.30.08
Awww... When there are real-live babies onscreen, they really steal the show. How cute is Johnny? How cute was EJ playing with Johnny? I could barely pay attention to what Lucas and Sami were talking about in the scene pictured here - I tried to rewind and re-watch, but I'm still none the wiser.
I did pay close attention to EJami though. Welcome back to my screen! I've missed you guys - and you seem more like the EJami I remember too. I'm really glad that Sami is being pro-active and doing something about gaining her independance back. It saddened me to see Sami's self confidence so low though; how she braced herself for the inevitable comments about her hireability, and how she struggled to find something good about herself to write on her resume. Somehow, I don't think four years of piano training and the ability to forge anyone's signature (even in the dark) are the type of admirable qualities an employer looks for. But I loved EJ for his attempts to make Sami feel good about herself - and they shared a moment before Lucas interrupted... darn it! READ MORE
Quick recap: Melanie is Max's half sister and they share the same biological father - Trent Robbins - who is currently still married to Nicole. There were rumors flying around that Melanie would be the secret child of Trent and Nicole's, but sadly, that hasn't happened (I think it would be fun to have Nicole Jnr but that's just me). Melanie is a bit of a spoilt, self-confessed party girl, attending school in 
France and hitting up rich boyfriends or stealing expensive jewellery from her "friends". Upon meeting her brother Max, she had him framed for a crime he didn't commit, but when she was released on bail, left him and Stephanie behind bars, saying she couldn't do anything to help. Enter Nick Fallon, who flew over to France to help Stax out of jail but who caught Melanie's eye after pretending to be a rich hottie. After getting Stax out of jail, Nick and Melanie have been getting closer, sharing a kiss this past week.
For me, I am non-plussed. I have found the character annoying and whiny so far - not unlike Chelsea Brady when she first appeared on our screens. But maybe, like they did with Chelsea, they will use Nick to make her more likeable. If that's possible. To be honest, I kind of liked her friend Tiffany better, but that's a thought for another poll.
