Double post.

You know it's good soap when...hehe... This reminds me of the DAYS promo back in the 90s where it was 'Miss a Day, Miss a Lot.' And I expect Week 3 to also end on a cliffhanger. As Fridays USED to be.

3-5 Thank Goodness that 3-6 is bringing it with the Damian storyline as I sit here and clean and rearrange. But I'll give the last two episode their due...they haven't been THAT bad. I didn't even fast forward through Adam and Chelesa as much as I ignored them in 3-4. But they had good stuff in 3-5. So slowly people are realizing that Sharon and Giggly Heffa are missing. I'm not sure if Daniel should have brought Billy into the loop, but here we are. And now Billy can't tell Jack what's going on...moreso now that Victor is on the warpath. And I'm always here for Victor/Nikki vs Jack/Diane. So far the highlight of the week outside of the Damian storyline. They were throwing so much shade at each other that I've enjoyed it. The couple that has the united front together (even if they have drama behind closed doors) stays together. lol. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Victor knows what Jack/Billy are up to cuz VICTOR, but still I wonder just like the two of them how does he know. And then Billy finding out about Adam and Chelesa...not to mention Adam clear jealousy of Chelesa still being close to Billy...got some interesting scenes out of it. And Adam also knowing about Billy's new company. I have to giggle at how everyone always picks on Billy for how he names any company. That said...so far, so good.

Very good to hear. I also feel that the show continues to build through leaps and bounds. And I fully expect the green actors to grow. If not...well...but I am willing to give them time. And NONE of them was that actor who played the guy that Chelesa hooked up with. Now do you hate Martin because of the actor or because the character of Martin is such a prick? I really love that Week 2 explored Nicole's world a little more and Week 3 looks set to do moreso of that off of the Friday cliffhanger. She's giving solid B plot for her sister's A plot for sure. Hahaha. Also thanks for the March Madness info @janea4old.

Now THAT would be something, too.

Yeah, it really did Cam and Joss in. Or more than likely...when Lucas changes his mind, he will walk in on Brad with someone else.

3-3 Yeah let me come out of my BTG high and play catch up. lol. It does help this (and RHOA) are about to be background noise as I start on some much needed spring cleaning. But I thought this episode was off to a good start. Of course, I'm saying that because the A plot was the Damian storyline. Love that Amy and Damian had dinner to talk. I also love that Nate, Lucy, and Devon had a brief meeting. I did holler when Nate found out that Lily used Victor to get info on Damian. But now here comes the next reveal. If Damian is just the CEO of the company that his name is attached...than WHO is the man behind the man? If it's Tucker, I will fall out. IF it's Billy, I will throw something at my television. This has been the only story with legs so far this year and all the reveals have been good. So no abrupt plot twist please. While it's weird that Nate is trying to go off on Lily for looking into Damian, I like the writers at least spelled out what Nate's worries are. I wonder if Nate could even be a spoiler between Damian/Lily if they start to go in that direction. Hmmm it is really seem liking Diane is going to do a complete change to the Abbott mansion. I can't say that I'm not now getting curious. What is Ed Scott up to? Hehe at Giggly Heffa being a C plot/throwaway line this episode. Get out of my head!!! 😜

I can't wait.

Yeah I caught that. But too late to edit. But apt given what I typed. I'm surprised they showed the Miami trip. They been talking about it as long as they talked about the teens going to Sonny's cabin where Esme set up Sex-Tape-Gate to frame Trina. But Lucas/Brad have slowly been growing closer. So it was coming...just been a C plot around all the Cyrus/Drew-as-Villain stuff. And once they do get back together...which looks like it's going to go the way of the taking forever to happen CVE style...they have the perfect spoiler in Carly so already does not want them together. But alas.

Lol. I've enjoyed being a regular viewer again for the first time since 2014 thanks to the pandemic bringing me back in 2020, but like people feel about bad camp over on RC's DAYS is how I feel about the silly slapsticky 'factory settings' style on CVE's GH. And regardless of EK's oversight, his (and therefore FV's) style shines through for me from the moment I made my disclaimer when I saw his name back in August. I have given credit where it's due, but the cons for me have grown higher than the pros. Cuz that WSB screams Emma. SCREAMS. The fact she's not involved is...NO. So...short arc appearances for me. 😜 Unless She of the Model Dark Hair appears and I know I will come running for one Ms. Barrett. ETA: We will always have Ashley Abbott and the Damian storyline (not to mention Silk Press Shiela on BTG) on Y&R. Oh and RHOA which starts tomorrow and I need to finish my last season binge.

As if we aren't used to the best HW seasons have an event every episode. 😜 I would think to keep momentum BTG would at least give us one event a week. If not something to build up to a weekly cliffhanger. And since it's now been mentioned so I don't have to avoid mentioning it yep on end of April/start of May Sweeps. Which is why I speculated about Guza being in the house because by that point, I bet the shows will be working well enough for one of his Sweeps events.

Good question. At least weekly. Hahahahaha!!! This pic will always take me out. I love her.

Now because they did so much and did it well in spite of time and flaws is why it should get the A. 😜 But I understand. It is also why it took me so long to get through the other soaps because they truly do pale in comparison to me and are now a chore to watch. Or least GH was. I almost gave GH an F so I feel that. lmao

That's because there's so much good to talk about up in here. 😜 And it's actually going slower (for now) than last month. They do, but I agree with others that it's not romantic chemistry as fiery chemistry. But like you said...it wouldn't be the first time a booty call turned into the love. I was just mentioning my first serious relationship. THAT was my FIRST relationship so...hehe.

Yeah. What the above said. I love me some Shanice. I did that with my first serious relationship. And sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I had gone ahead and followed my dreams back in 2005 before self-publishing took off to where it became when I chose myself in 2013. Moreso because my first relationship was not worth my time and apparently was not what it was in reality as I found out years later over a lovely bottle of champagne when we were no longer together and civil enough to have a conversation about the woulda, shoulda, coulda. I can see why that resonates. Another sign of good soap indeed. Another piece of great dialogue. This show soo has that in spades.

Finally moving into March and...I'm good. I'm happy that I got what I wanted with Laura's kids coming home finally. And that I got to see an old school GH writer come back even if he didn't get to live up to his full potential. That said...the pushing of that silly Sasha/Jason plot, Sidwell smirking all over the place like FV's latest flavor of the month, the Joss-is-Sydney-Bristow plot, and the lack of Laura with said kids...not to mention Liz...add onto the overkill return of the wackas, wackas is just too much for me. Which is sad since I liked Ms. Wu being back and in cahoots with Drew. I see Lucas and Brad made it to Miami (and Mr. Shen looks attractive to me...js). And now Drew continues to hit hints of true villainy with trying to blackmail Portia. And I'm always here for Drew vs Curtis. So there is some good going on, but the main writer is just not to my taste and the emotional resonance scenes that actually do pop up when I see ER in the header are being too much once in a blue moon for me. I might check in in a month to see if anything is going on for the anniversary episodes. And of course, I'll be around for Leslie's tribute. And we know I'll come running when Vanessa Marcil makes an appearance. But nothing going on here I want to see, and I always say that I'm not one for hatewatching. Moreso with BTG giving me more to chew on and DAYS about to have a set of new writers and I'll always for when new writers come on. Do feel free to tag me though when the Drew murder mystery starts, Michael returns, or any relevant Laura/Lulu/Lucky/Liz tidings. I might go see if there are clips around. My viewing is more than likely going to stop on Wednesday's episode since I want to see the fallout of the Brad/Lucas Miami scenes.

Nope. Never.

Now that I FINALLY made it through all of February Sweeps. In order of interest...IMHO. BTG...A Yep. Kept its A lol. Even with beginning flaws, it was EVERYTHING. As I mentioned in the thread, it took the Warren Ellis approach of dropping audiences in and loved that it trusted my intelligence (and ability to google) to keep up. Acting was decent to flawless. Plot was interesting and (most important) moving...it even did GH's technique of 'quick cuts' one episode and did it BETTER. Dialogue was superb. Fashion and setting was on point. Best of all...FRIDAY CLIFFHANGERS (cliffhangers period)...ARE...BACK!!! Well done for one week. B&B...C- I know...shocking. But it honestly held my interest more than GH. And both show this Sweeps apparently thought it was smart to really start their story movement mid-month. UNLIKE GH though, I felt like it was cohesive and had a rhythm to it where several stories were going on. The main plot of Finn being Luna's father might have been an abrupt idea and the first half of the month was slow and full of the same conversation, but once it got going...I found the pacing intentionally slow vs just plain slow (again, looking at GH). TN did great with the revelation. Meanwhile, there were other stories going on with everyone wondering where Luna was, Luna/Remy's growing friendship, and of course Operation Carter which is silly but giving old school soap. And I'm counting down to the moment when Li finds out. And yes, I've already seen the next week clip. Y&R...B- And that grade is only on the basis of the Damian storyline and how it has splintered into several avenues beyond the main plot (Damian/Lily, Enter: Victor, the Holden reveal, Holden/Audra/Nate, the mystery that is Damian) of Amy wanting Nate to find his half brother because she's dying. It has surprisingly had reveals throughout that have been surprising. Where the show failed was the pacing of it which has been VERY haphazard. And when that story was not on, the rest of the show was boring as Hades. So much so...the curveball of a SAWque kidnapping tale for Sharon and Phyllis was...been there, done that and yes...BORING. GH...D For me, it's how the mighty have fallen. If any soap has schooled other soaps on a good February Sweeps, it was always GH. So I'm sad to see that the worst impulses of this show that I don't like (wacka wacka humor, cheap gimmicks, propped writing, agendas) completely overshadowed what the Sweeps should have been...the downfall of Cyrus. For months, the writing has been on the wall with what appeared to be an umbrella tale as Joss had his number on one side and Lucky/Liz having his number on the other. Screaming at a collision course. So the abrupt turns that the story took was maddening. And it was frustrating when the story took off mid-month and then was swiftly buried by a false accusation for Jason, the 'comedy' of Tracy vs Martin, and Joss as Sidney Bristow...wait...what? Yeeeah NO. The show has diven off the cliff so badly...honestly with BTG airing and DAYS about to get a new set of writers that I've more interested in, to quote one of my favorite characters Cordelia Chase...this is my off-ramp. At least until the forthcoming Leslie C. tribute. DAYS...not watching at the moment. Lol. Yeah, I found out by the Episode Count thread. It is. Hehe. Never change.

REUNION LOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait, what? A woman on the roof!!! Oh, Lord, Silk Press Sheila...with a music cue and everything. smh. lol. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!! Jacob has to arrest Dani.
