Hated her with a vengeance, wanted her gone and I was so glad when she finally disappeared. That's where she started bugging me. She has something... Annoying, self-righteous about her whole acting approach, I don't know...

I've never seen the female lead in any of her shows, but I did love Chris Noth on Law and Order. This does look like an enjoyable and soapy show. Serialized things don't do well on CBS so I'm sure it'll be more on the procedural side, but I'm going to check it out.

Admittedly, I see what you're talking about; it's the same attitude I remember her having in The Mists of Avalon, for example, but I guess it doesn't really annoy me... yet. :lol:

Yeah, I think it's definitely worth checking out. And the show's getting good publicity, I was in New York yesterday and saw a bunch of ads all over the place about it. So maybe CBS thinks they've got something great on their hands. (Not that that means much)

Yeah, I'm still not sure whether I like the cast...

But Episode 2 was good. I am not crazy about the self-contained stories, but I love how Peter's mistake/possible mistake is shadowing Alicia's life and her family's. I wonder what will happen now that Zack knows the picture was fake.

I'm glad Josh Charles is still sexy, but I'm disappointed that they took the soap out and made it more of a law procedural show. The most interesting aspect of the promos was Chris Noth cheating and how his wife dealt with it. Then they skipped those first six months which I'm sure would've made for great TV and Noth isn't even a series regular! I feel like they misled us. Her going back into the workplace is great, but so soon? Or maybe instead of the six month flash forward she could've simutaniously dealt with her husbands deception AND going back into the workplace. It's well written, but it's missing something.

I liked the second episode better than the premiere show. It was down a bit in the ratings from its opening. Chris, I think they will revist his wife dealing with her husbands cheating. Well I hope so. I also wish they hadnt skipped months ahead. It's still a good show and I will continue to watch.

lol I know what you mean but I do love the soapiness of the title! laugh.gif

Third episode was good--the cases aren't the most smartily written ever, but I enjoy the forray in the wife's life and the continuing husband drama.... But what I loved the most was the triangle thiny they're setting up--or at least I think they are--between Will/Cary and Alicia.... and the dynamic they seem to be building between Cary and Diane...

    • Mm-hmm; this is why the storyline, despite some standout performances, is an absolute mess. History of what we've seen played out is being ignored by the so-called historian "Elizabeth Korte" for their own storied history. Treating audiences like they're morons (well...) is not going to help your case.
    • I never watched the prior Brook Lynn actresses, except for Briana Lane's brief stint.  So I'm primarily familiar with Amanda's Brook Lynn. I did watch Lois and Ned decades ago when they first met and he was Eddie Maine.  I do remember Lois wanting honesty and feeling weird about Quartermaine nonsense.  I don't remember the details because I was watching it on live broadcast and it was so long ago, but I do remember in general what their characterizations were back then, (and that Wally was hot back then). There were many years I didn't watch GH at all because I objected to the mobster stuff.  So I have missed a lot.
    • That was weird because I wasn't sure if Doug saw them or not.  Both Johnny and Tate's backs were turned, but Doug 3 obviously knows Tate.  He didn't really react, so I am assuming he didn't see who she pointed out clearly. I got you!!  Lol.  You've already blamed this Days experiment of yours on me so the least I can do is answer your questions.
    • Yes, I am sure not everyone remembers Brook Lynn's romance with the Text Message Killer or her foray into being a paid escort first by Carly and then by Nik.  Those two examples you cited are when Amanda was actually in the role and are relatively recent.
    • These things especially make the retcon weird.  I mean all of the examples you cited, but especially those.
    • May 16th interview with Cherie Jimenez.   30 minutes long. (for returning viewers, she's the current Gabi -- mother of Will&Sonny's daughter Arianna.  Cherie has been airing since June 2024). This was previously was posted on the spoiler thread because it mentioned the casting of Marissa Reyes as SORASed Arianna Horton, and the recent scene where Gabi noticed Arianna wasn't in her room. Now that all of this has aired, I'm bringing it over to the main thread, as there are no spoilers anymore. Cherie is 40.  Marissa is 21, playing an 18-year-old.  Cherie is aware that they look more like sisters than mother/daughter.  Interestingly, Cherie said that in real life, her own mother was a teen when Cherie was born, and that people commonly mistake Cherie and her mom as sisters. Most of the interview is about Cherie as Gabi, getting cast, working with Brandon Barash, working with Casey Moss.

    • So, I guess John might be on the way out now that Robert is back and Nate's body has been found....  Or are they going to jump through hoops to keep him on the show and make us watch two Sugdens fight over a Dingle?

    • I preferred the Devil spawn delivery of the previous Rachel. She felt like the perfect child of Kristen DiMera and all the dysfunction she’s been through. The new actress is just a sweet girl.
    • I just read a new post where PersonB was quoting personA and I wanted to comment on the post so I started to quote ... with  I myself as the PersonC. I tried to quote what PersonB quoted from PersonA.  It should have been attributed to PersonA, but before submitting the post, I checked to see how it would display, and it automatically misatributed PersonA's words to PersonB.  So I didn't click to submit the post. So yes this is an ongoing glitch. I will need to take the time to go back and find the original post from PersonA to quote that.
