Y&R: April 2024 Spoilers
That's because Nick is NIKKI'S son. 😜 And goodness knows he shows it just like Victoria shows she takes after her father.

GH: March 2024 Discussion Thread
3-27 First of all...Pikeman? RME. But more seriously...Jason has been working with Wagger since NOVEMBER 2021??? Well...the words. And to make it even more delicious...I loved well one...all of the Robin mentions this week and two...Anna telling Jason about how he knew Wagger in his pre-accident life. I never though about that and it immediately layers all of their interactions of late. The history that the writers are digging up to remind me about what came before has been great. Wow. They are really going to go there with Ava/Sonny. Not hating it, but surprised all the same. It's a shame to have any Joss vs Kristina scenes now that there is the recast. They just don't have the same chemistry. Yet. Hmmmm that fistfight. Some camera angles were good and looked like someone got punched. Other angles...not as much. That said, I didn't feel it was as bad as what little I've read here have mentioned. But...again...I just don't think the actors are ready from too heavy material yet. Outside of that, this past week has been so far, so good. ETA: I almost forgot. I LOVED that the writers played the Britt beat. I know it was mentioned when the next writers started among us. And I was wondering as well if they would mention that to him. And SB played it so well. Outside of the interference *cough*FV*cough* Britt/Jason were HOT. I love all of this. And seeing you again period. I like that you see the difference already as well. The fact that I can pick out so many examples right now of character beats and what's staying with me. Like Trina at the grave and talking about Paris. Or people who normally don't interact are interacting. SB most definitely seem more motivated than I've seen him in a good minute. And I KNOW!!! I would be hard pressed to see any kind of tweens or teens on soaps nowadays so for me, it's been refreshing to see kids again. Even BeBe's Maxie's kids. That's why it has not bugged me nearly as much as others. There's been some missteps, but they are nice to see.

A foine 50. 😜 But I agree. Better to lean into what was said above...Nick as Father.

3-25 I'm sorry, but only on soaps. Because I LOL and also agreed right along with Joss that if Jason really did it, Jason...DOES...NOT...MESS. So of course, Jason is innocent. When that flew out of Joss's mouth...I hollered. Cuz #facts. That's right, writers!!! Give Liz some story love. Because I enjoyed her talking with Willow. And getting to get a peek into Liz's head and see what she's thinking and what she's feeling. And I enjoyed her acting like such a mom with her having to leave work to go pick up her kids. And we all know how I feel about Liz's kids. That said...this is an interesting layer to do with Jake. Any and all of Jason's kids in fact. Given what he does for a living and all the years Jason has been there for all kids, BUT his own kids, it's nice to see the writers digging into his own kids having some resentment and Jason having to deal with it. HOWEVER, this goes back to what I said about wanting the kids to be used gradually so that when they start to hit on this thread, that they will be ready to handle. I don't think they are ready at all. At least, not Jake. So watching Jake with Liz and Aidan, he is just coming across whiny without any...presence that is only one dimensional. Contrast that with Aidan. Story-wise, there's potential. But nothing has been started. Only a (very) loose thread that keeps being brought up every few months, if not year or so. But he's been popping up more and more. Background. Or mentioned in dialogue. And I feel he's being handled well. And I don't think the actor is ready yet, either though I feel his slight quirkiness gives Aidan a presence. With him, I would like to see more eventually. Like the often-mentioned Tobias. I like this version of Trina!!! Or perhaps it's how Tabyana is playing her. It feels and especially LOOKS like barely contained rage. Or that's how it comes across. It could be the styling on her today. And I never even thought of the angle of her feeling a way about Joss due to Jason's return being connected to Curtis's shooting. TA is giving a lot in these scenes and just like Liz, it's reeeeeally nice to see how she's thinking. How she's feeling. And I loved the scene at the grave. Her talking about art and Monet. I grinned. Question...is this musical cue with Trina talking to Spencer's grave an old GH music cue? Awwwww loving seeing Chase/BLQ dealing with the Dante/Jason stuff together. After all the back and forth, they are actually being used as a couple. God bless the writers. Though I want to shake Chase at times.

Y&R: April 2024 Spoilers
Oh VERY, VERY good for his age. But that said...Nick and Lily??? Uh... But then again, I'm not sure who I would place Lily with. But I thought her and Adam had great adversarial chemistry. But again, would I want her tied to Adam and/or Nick again in a triangle. Yeeeah nope.

3-29 So...like Y&R...we get a NEXT WEEK montage now? Wow. Well, it looks like next week is all about Sheila. Shocking. This week...I was in for seeing Steffy v Hope. But I admit that the acting has been great. And I loved Hope throwing some good insults. And the fashion was on point. Red is definitely KKL's color. But I felt let down by Friday. And here comes that RJ/Luna/Zende story and zzzzzzz.

You could be right. 1997 DAYS was JER climaxing all of his stories on his way out the door, making it Must See TV. I even skipped classes during that period lol. It definitely blurred into the tale of Two Macs. But I remembered the guy appearing and wanting the doll and explaining his story.

Yeah, I put that theory out there in the New Soap Thread. If anything I would hope that it might inspired Brad to try some new stuff.

3-26 Honestly...I thought...given the fact that JG does as most people say here story focused on for 3 weeks, vanishes, may/may not come back. I thought Lily/Daniel/Heather was done, done. So I was happy to see Lily vs Heather. Though she probably should have slapped her. And Heather...NO. Ever since Heather decided to stay in town permanently, she has been giving subtle looks. Lily has every right to call her out. And they all work together. See? There's still potential for mess. But since Daniel and Lily broke up as soon as she made it back to town, I'll be shocked if JG mines the potential of them all working in the same building. And I shook my head at Jack. Ponytails. Ashley has PONYTAILS, Jack. At least, Jack's brain was not totally out to lunch. He at least found it odd. But he really should have known something was wrong with Ashley because she had PONYTAILS...something Ashley NEVER has. At least...as I said before...the Abbotts are getting clues that something is wrong with Ashley. And As I also said before, I love watching ED perform. But that moment of 'dumbing down the characters' really rubbed me the wrong way. Jordan is cray cray. And I love her for it. I continue to love the growing Sally/Audra friendship. That Giggly Heffa. smh. Pathetic.

ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
I've been binge watching THE EXPANSE's Amazon seasons and have arrived at the last season. And now that I've there, I have no problem watching the trailers for the last season. And I thought I saw someone familiar, but I thought noooo couldn't be. But YES. I'm too much of an old school BEVERLY HILLS 90210 fan to not recognize Brandon's Steve's gal Clair (aka Kathleen Robertson) as the big bad's newest henchwoman.

2024: The Directors and Writers Thread
I wouldn't mind that actually. I have found him over the years to be the writer most guilty of having episodes where it feels like characters take the whole episode (or 10) to spit out what they are trying to tell other characters. And not in a creative way either. Thank you for the info. I'll be looking forward to that episode when I start my catch-up...weather willing since there's been a big storm here.
