The episodes with Lisa from 1987, written by MDP were horrible. She was acting like a small child... Like... really really infantile. Going around room to room dressed in princess dresses and tiaras... looking sad and writing in a diary. It was shocking to me, because I did not expect to see Another World written so... melodramatically and over the top. Some people love these kinds of things, but I don't. Cue Harding Lemay and Donna S... and by late 1988 and early 1989 Lisa appears she has grown 15 yeas in... a year. What a difference a good writer makes! As you said... the scenes where she is strong... are really good. But as @Contessa Donatella said... "The world fell in love with Anne Heche" and Lisa pales in comparison in pretty much every scene. Anne Heche steals the scene every time. Morally I am on Lisa's side, but... I still look forward to see Victoria - more.

No one's telling you how to live your life But it's a setup until you're fed up It's no good when you're misunderstood But why should I care What the world thinks of me? Won't let a stranger Give me a social disease

Another World - January 10th 1989 Will the princess wake up? So, this episode was about 2 things. 1. We had Vicky in the hospital and pretty much the entire town running around like she and her unborn are in grave danger. We had multiple scenes in which characters realized how... Vicky may be a rotten human being, but we LOVE HER. We'll miss her if she dies. LOL. Even Rachel finally accepted her, or at least appeared to accept her. But we all know Rachel... The witnesses to this whole circus were Felicia and Lisa (who felt guilt about the situation). Donna was attention seeking and trying to make the medical emergency about herself as usual, while Michael was focused on finding more news about his daughter's condition. The only thing Donna could ask was "Will the baby be alright" while in contrast Michael asked "Will Victoria be alright"? Donna was looking at Lisa's direction with the usual contempt. Couple of sentimental music collages later, Jamie realized he loves Vicky. We, the viewers did not believe it, and neither does Jamie. 2. The Pilara/Reuben duo got a chance of redemption sort of. For some reason Cass believes he has a good heart, so why not invite him to Nicole's place and leave him alone with everything. What can go wrong? Well, it seemed that for the time being, Reuben is acting like a changed man. Pilara came to visit Reuben and saw herself in one of Nicole's dresses. They didn't steal anything this time. Overall - 7/10 Best moment - Nicole-the skeptic vs Cass-the good guy... A dynamic so known to me in my personal life. I am the Nicole-skeptic-type... always suspicious of everything. And don't like extending a helping hand to undeserving people. Especially people who lie and steal. sssssssssssssssssss.mp4

Aaand I kinda spoiled it a bit for myself by accidentally seeing that the actress is off the show by next month. For a moment I was thinking they recast, but... I guess not. For some reason I won't miss her. 🙈

I don't think I've shared this, but more than a decade ago... I learned English while watching Melrose place from beginning to end multiple times. I would watch it while studying the language... and that helped me improve my vocabulary. I was just a kid back then. But now... instantly after hearing the promo I'm back to me in my room writing words I don't know down... and looking them up later on google. Such a nice memory. It's so sad that so many years later there isn't a true HD version of it. I want to see it again, but the quality they offer is just... the same it used to be decades ago.

Have you see THIS?😂 dddddddddddddddddddddddddd.mp4

Thank God. I was beginning to get worried... Because Mathew and Lisa don't look alright... She is taller than him I think. And... His brother's ex.

A good pancake makes Maxim happy.

Another World, January 9th 1989 Oops, I fell down the stairs... Let's begin, shall we?! We get back to where we were with the horrible engagement party, now officially hijacked by Lisa's arrival. All of Donna Hudson's attempts to get rid of her are fruitless and in the end we have Jamie once again focusing more on her than on Vicky. He even went to talk to her, making Vicky lose her mind once again. We also had Mathew feeling sympathy for Lisa and looking at her with a little more interest that I'm used to. That boy is starting to focus on Lisa way too much. Is there trouble in paradise for Josie and Mathew? Hmm... Wanting to sleep with your brother's ex is a soap opera staple... so I would not be surprised! Cass, with motives that are quite unclear to me, offered to help and defend Reuben. He even agreed to take responsibility for him while he is working on the case. Well, well, well... Mary did it first, now Cass is following in her footsteps... inviting trouble into his life. I do not believe if redemption storylines and... Reuben is an abuser and a thief. PERIOD. I have no empathy for him. None. I do not wish to see him change his ways in 2-3 episodes. I won't believe it. Once a wife-beater... always a wife-beater!!!!!!!!!!! Iris was visually devouring Michael Hudson who continued ignoring her. Then she got a call in the last minute about some serious issue she had to attend to... We saw the same sinister hand holding Felicia Gallant's photograph yet again and got a sense of impeding doom. In a bitchy scene between Lisa and Vicky... we had the usual back and forth between the two girls, but this time... the conflict climaxed in Vicky losing her step and falling down the stairs. Pregnant. By who know who's child. This always happens in soap operas. You can't not be pregnant and NOT fall down stairs. It's a must... Overall - 9/10! Best moment - Vicky vs Lisa 💗 ssssssssssssssssssssssss.mp4

AH! You've gotten me excited, darling! I'll look up the best quality tomorrow and we'll give it a go. I really have the memory I was obsessed with this for like... the first year of it... and I have no idea how and why, but I have forgotten 100 percent... except the vibe and the actress. ❤️ 😂
