If they wanted to impress me they'd say Rachel Locke.

Didn't they say Forrest Alamain was supposed to have died in the family pool?? Such wacky stuff.

Face Journeys, with Finola Hughes and Tristan Rogers: I love the second shot where she's downcast/'pensive' trying to keep a straight face, which does not last. The attempt at hip-hop dancing around 1:52 also sends me.

Jenny is clearly supposed to be enraptured with him. I know Monty was pushing Jenny Eckert hard as the central young ingenue. And yes, Connor performing live to his own music video is beyond extra. It is E! News Live.

Shawn looks pretty hot in these business suits. I'm gonna miss him.

Yeah, like I said: You can hear the opening melody of Autumn Breeze in FOTH (and in the piano music cue we've mentioned which I think came in with JFP, which emulates both). Ever since I noticed it awhile ago I can't stop hearing it. It's brilliant work and part of why the FOTH opening is IMO still timeless and should be updated and reinstated today.

Oh, it's been GIFed in the thread a few pages back I believe.

Seriously. I was waiting for him to get a bit more nasty with Paul before saying something because I try not to acknowledge him at all, but I've had enough. Imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery.

I mean, I think I definitely hear its opening in the opening of FOTH and I'm glad I'm not the only one. But YMMV.

I forgot Murphy found Diane's extremely dead body and it washed up on the bank! LOL. Could Diane have mocked up a corpse and paid off the coroner, etc? I know she was autopsied, but so were so many people on soaps. (The Jack Deveraux organ donation on DAYS is still the apex for me) I should add the big reveal that Nikki did it - on a Super 8 film reel - is straight out of stuff like Brian De Palma and "Blow Out" IMO, and while very stylish is another great example of MAB lifting film stuff while telling bad stories. If you're gonna lift from the best, which soaps do all the time, do good work!

I cannot look directly at the looks of admiration and amazement the longtime cast are giving him (other than Finola lol). The cut to Faison cracks me up though.

I'd do that tbh. Sue me.

I still don't understand anything about the Laurelton saga with Terri Brock. I am amazed we apparently never heard of her again. He absolutely is and the more you watch the worse it gets. Please find this scene.

I'm surprised no one is lobbying for Chandler to get an Emmy and/or SAG award for adjusting himself on-camera in those sweatpants. Amazed that made it through.

They better not leave the Ashland story at that, lol.

ETA: Sorry, it's above.

I try not to think about the Luke/Felicia number from 2001, no matter how much a certain friend trolls me with the video. The image burned into my brain, though, is Felicia dancing around her living room bowlegged caterwauling "Swannee River" rehearsing for it beforehand. I love Kristina Wagner again today even though she's no thespian, but in those days with Luke Felicia was utterly unbearable and adding singing was the stake in the heart.

I do! I'll never forget this. It won't embed, so the glory has to be viewed up close! Finola Hughes' expression throughout is incredible.

Well, the JFP/Guza-era intro theme from 2004 was also just a rock and roll version of FOTH, so yes, it has the same Autumn Breeze intro FOTH incorporated.

From Susan Walters' (Lorna) new interview re: her return to Y&R:

I would assume her plan back then will come into play in some way. No one appears to have been keeping Diane locked away, at least not for awhile.

It's just speculative clickbait.

I always thought so, it's a lovely touch. I'm pretty sure that same mix of both is part of that emotional piano cue the show still plays from time to time.

I don't think he will derail the nomination, but nothing would shock me anymore. I do expect him to try to get attention over it.

I thought it was all old-fashioned by the end, but I always liked how it seems like FOTH incorporates the opening of Autumn Breeze into the beginning of the track. Or am I crazy? You can still hear both of them in the occasional GH music cue used today, mostly in only piano stuff. That beginning is timeless.
