I do agree, it would be a better fit with Vanessa/Dani and Nicole/Pamela - age-wise and personalities. But, I'll take Cady regardless! So happy she's on BTG.

Had Pamela not rejected the wine offer, Dani would have been drinking right there with her again, after waking up from blacking out haha. She had the bottle and two glasses out ready to go. LOL - yessss! Love her.

I still don't really get why Ted all of a sudden felt the need to tell Andre his secret. Now of course he's worried Andre will say something. Not sure why he put himself in that situation if he wasn't willing to come out to everyone with the secret. Mike has to go, he's gross... let's wrap up this storyline and move on since it didn't go anywhere. I agree, Dani and Andre have great chemistry.

I agree with all of this, and sadly the ladies couldn't see or understand that when Garcelle started feeling a certain way during the reunion. Garcelle was just fed up and done and I don't blame her. It sucks.

Said with her big grin delusional smile haha.

Great suggestion, I'll have to go find them on YT and add to my list Haha - I mentioned this awhile back, but I Rachel didn't work for me at all, but I do like Little Billy so far. He just gave the toast at Vanessa and Matt's wedding Rachel seems to have been let go with no goodbye. They sent Michelle overseas for the summer and hasn't returned yet, but I know when she does, it'll be a SORAS'ed Budig in place, which I'm excited about! Although that must mean the actor playing Billy right now probably won't have much longer.

Ok LOL at your description of her, but I get it and know what you mean. She was too 'on', but for a child actor in soaps, I guess its better than the alternative. I haven't seen Vicky yet or the incest scene. That must come after Sid leaves, before Amelia goes to AMC? Gilly's brother is David Smith, does she have another sibling out there we don't know about? No - this one was Kimberly J. Brown (1993-1998). She goes on to be the popular Marnie in the Halloweentown movies.

Which is a bit of a shame, because I thought the actor was really good. But GL is his only acting credit on IMDB and I can't find anything about the actor online, which is so odd. I wonder what happened to him.

Yep, thankfully I don't think we'll have a completely RH-free zone this year, but we won't have multiples going on at the same time like we've had. We'll have Miami starting in June, with Atlanta still running and closing out mid-summer. I'm guessing OC will be next, starting late summer (August?), and then Potomac starting fall (Sept/Oct?), and then SLC in winter (Nov?). Hopefully by then, they'll have NJ and NYC figured out and filming. IMO - The Valley turned out to be a goldmine and one of the best shows on Bravo last year. This new season that just started seems to be just as good, if not better! I'm so excited for it.

I'm up to October 3, 1995. I'm still enjoying the show, but some of these storylines are starting to drag longer than storylines seemed to in early '95 - Dinah wreaking havoc on Springfield, Josh/Annie, Reva and Alan in Goshen... The character of Susan Bates is too boring and preachy. If I hadn't already known she would end up with Nick, I would assume she was brought in to be Marian's first murder victim. They've been slowly hinting at Nadine becoming a clairvoyant, which came out of nowhere, but now she's having full on visions making her believe death is imminent. Josh/Annie just broke off their engagement when Josh found out Annie was married to Rick in Chicago and was an alcoholic. I'm glad the secrets are finally out so we can see the aftermath. I really like Josh, he's handsome, but when he gets angry and yells, he's very loud and its no longer sexy... I just realized that the young actress playing Marah is Marnie in the Halloweentown movies!!! Wow, another good GL cast surprise. I really wanted to like Alan Spaulding, but man is he just an unlikeable villain from what I've seen. He doesn't have any likable qualities like Roger does, for example. He used Brent to his advantage and didn't care that Lucy was raped, he used Tangie and Sid both in his trial, and how he's taking advantage of Reva in Goshen by pushing himself on her and tricking her to believe they were destined to be remarried. He won't tell her the truth about Josh. He just gives me the ick. Speaking of Sid, he just had a tearful goodbye with Gillian and I guess he left the show? It wasn't clear and I can't find anything online, but the only other strong tie he seemed to have was to Alan, who has now been stuck in Goshen. I guess Sid wasn't as big of a character as I thought when I started my watch. Dinah and Roger just got married and Vanessa and Matt are about to soon. That Dinah is a terror, but I really like the actress, Wendy, and I think she and Maeve look so similar with their hairstyles. I would say this Dinah storyline and the related side stories (Blake/Ross, Vanessa/Matt, Roger) have been the most front burner since Feb '95 when Dinah arrived. They really worked Wendy that year. One reprieve I've had for months now is no Fletcher! Fletcher and Holly got married in July and they've barely been on since. They had about a 1-2 week storyline where Holly found out she was pregnant and Fletcher got upset, thinking it was Roger's because he had a vasectomy, but that ended quickly once Roger got back in Dinah's orbit. Otherwise, they've been MIA. I really like Holly, so hopefully she returns soon. I'm still really enjoying the show and will continue watching Like I've said before, this is giving me wonderful nostalgic feelings and reminds me of how great soaps were back in the day when compared to today.

Yessss!!! Thank you for posting! Very Miami and I'm so excited!

Another well-written episode, especially the Naomi/Bill scenes. Those are the scenes I need to see more of and the actors sold it well. My only gripe is that we had to sit through so many boring scenes with Naomi and those unknown ladies and there was no payoff in seeing Naomi beat her dad in court. Oh well, I'll happily take these more character-driven scenes. Martin annoyed the hell out of me today. Your son was so scared and embarrassed to tell you the truth, rightfully so, and the last thing he needed was for you to give him a hard time about it and make you feel worse. Martin's way of showing love doesn't go over all with me and I were Tyrell, I'd be building up more walls and never tell him anything again. He needed to be sympathetic and understanding and it just didn't come across that way.

Completely agree on all accounts!

Not a character in disguise, but the ultimate drag queen Rupaul was on AMC! LOL at the shade she throws Opal. I also have this memory of Edmund and maybe Tad being in drag together, but I couldn't find anything on YT.

Well this is certainly interesting! I'll listen because the characters sound good, but is it only going to be 10 20-minute episodes? That doesn't seem like much time to really tell a story. Maybe they'll have a 'season 2' if this one goes well.

Such a sad day in soap opera history. I remember reading the AMC telephone line from fans was insane and the mailbox was full (or something to that effect). Such a sad day.

Welcome and thanks for the comment! I love that too, when you read about storylines and characters from the past and it brings up great memories I don't have a link to fan fiction, but I'm sure someone does.

Haha thanks! And YES - I loved crazy Annie - one of my favorite modern day characters. Her feuds were so great.

Dani and her alcohol! I thought she was going to come around after all her family scenes, but alas she goes home alone and opens a bottle.

LOL - ok good, I'm not the only one. He's back to swaying with Eva today too haha. He even sways when he's hugging her haha.

Is Maurice Johnson married? I'm getting a vibe...

Same, and now Nicole/Ted and Kat!

I can't get over how much she looks like Bridget, at least the eyes. I can also see Julia Barr in this picture (the hair for sure).

Great scene with Dani and Vernon. Karla played that well.

100% - so cringe, I can't handle it haha.
