“I’m guessing kill her and frame Tripp”

“Let’s Hope Not”

“Even with the deductive power of elimination Chad couldn’t figure out who Jake is really involved with”

“Why doesn’t Chad just have goons follow them around to find out everything he needs to know?”

“Because he’s a moron ”

“Jake scolded Gwen on everything she is doing and got back his bracelet, Gwen later twisted it in her favor when confronted by chad”

“How are you liking Gwen’s scheming?”

“SEE can’t be blood he just can’t be”

“Philip told Chloe about the mob money he owed and that he is laundering off the debt”

“Will Chloe tell the wrong person and get Philip into more trouble”

“YES Sigh  if he told Victor on day on Victor could have fixed it”

“Kate for some reason continues to care about what chad thinks of her”

“Because she’s his real mother you know it i know it EVERYBODY knows it”

“Will they ever go down that overly obvious road?”

“Doubt it But with all the Stefano Curtis and Billy Austin shenanigans it’s very doable”

“Anna and Tony returned for the New Year and within 5 minutes she figured out everything Gwen”

“Are you happy to see Anna and Tony?”

“Maybe”

“Did they really have sex? And if they did will Gwen get pregnant”

“NO and YES?”

“what?”

“They probably didn’t have sex and Gwen if pregnant down the road the father won’t be chad. After a while”

“Please no” said another guard Bob chuckled

“Abigail told Jake not to put up with Kate’s hiding their relationship”

“The women was with a Drug dealer who lived in the bushes SMH I keep telling everyone the problem is Kate is only attracted to Evil Men”

“DONT with Roman one, that didn’t last, and two she could have been with Roman to piss off Sami  …which is what it did”

“Lani had Twins boy and girl  “Carver “and “Julies ”

“Chad came home and the credits rolled”

“What do you think about the baby names?”
