I've felt this way about GH's colour-grading style for YEARS (it wasn't this way pre-FV). It has infinitely more sets than Y&R, yet it is a very cold soap visually. He should take notes from Brenda Dickson. 😅 -
It's so hard to take anything Peter says seriously when the acting is so ridiculous. Like, today, he just intermittently out of the blue, takes on some sort of really bad imitation Martin Grey-esque manner of speech to go along with his other typical weird acting idiosyncrasies? For why? Where did that come from? It's like he's trying to be commanding and grand in the style of a classically trained thespian reciting Shakespeare on stage. But he doesn't actually have the faintest clue what he's doing and is just trying out random ideas on the fly. You're not getting knighted like Sir Patrick Stewart for erratically over-acting like a rube in a Soap Opera mister.

If they were a spice, they would be flour.

I'm convinced that he got lost on his way to a Shakespearian Theatre Convention and ended up on the parking lot of the GH soundstage instead. 😅

Wes Ramsey be like:

Even in 1996, Virginia Benson's set wasn't really trailer-park per se (at least to me), however nor it was a nice condo. It was however rather homely and modest. Looking later in the clip/episode, they also completely overlooked the fact that it was Detective Felix Piser who Bobbie hired to seek out Carly that brought her to Port Charles, not Frank Benson. Carly convinced Piser she would give him money in exchange for his silence so she could scope out Bobbie's family (she believed they were loaded as both Tony and Bobbie were both in the medical field). 🙄

Oof I completely blocked that out of memory LOL. But yeah, where that storyline was concerned, FV's version of Lena's death goes against how Bobbie explained to Nikolas in 1996 how she died and why she felt abandoned by her.
-
Ugh what I hate about Frank's one-off episodes is that he has a tendency to retcon a whole bunch of things that goes completely against things that were previously addressed on-screen (I'm still not over the Carly's journey to Port Charles re-write leading to Nelle meeting her from a few months ago). In this case Mikkos being abusive to Kristin is news to me considering how Alexis described the dynamic to Helena in 2004.

I'm convinced that someone here likes writing lists for the sake of writing lists. 😅

This is fantastic! This era is so rare - I'm so excited to see more of the fallout between Tricia and Megan. I see the episode of Megan saying "how could you be such a bitch" is on there! I'm thinking of sharing these to Sabryn since I'm connected to her on social media. If you ever get to 2001, feel free to upload your versions of them, in case there are differences in versions and quality. Was Keith Dennison always supposed to be this j@ckass of a character?
-
In a similar vein, Brad Bell and every character not named Liam, Steffy, Hope, and Brooke. Also just before this era he got captivating talent like Sarah Joy Brown as Agnes and Rick Hearst as Whip and the both of them along with the rest of the Jones family just unceremoniously disappeared after 2 years (thanks to shifting his focus on Liam and expanding his family).

Oop there goes ghost Michael again with mama Carly pulling his strings. Ugh as much as I love the idea of Nina getting back at Carly as it would give CW some good material, it's just setting up Nina to take a huge fall when everything is revealed and ultimately makes Carly look good. I know there's a ton of people that could do without Nina on the canvas, but I adore Cynthia Watros so I just hope whatever ramifications, Nina isn't written into a corner and is written off.

Haha I remember on one of the Y&R standalone specials back in Christmas 2009/2010, they did an artificial flashback of Victor in his teens in the orphanage where he got into a fight with someone, and everyone ripping on the fact the actor had a very American accent which didn't ring believable next to Eric Braeden 😅

Imagine Mariah, Elena, and Amanda all being pregnant by Devon at the same time... I wouldn't hate watching how hilarious that would be. 😂

It's also become particularly difficult for the show to avoid this obnoxiously vocal minority with the advent of social media. Just yesterday they posted a PR statement on the attack on the Asian community and the comments section is littered with conservative Facebook grandmas going "JuSt StIcK tO eNtErTaInInG aNd DoN'T gEt PoLiTiCaL" or "EvErYtHiNg Is NoT aBoUt RaCe". God forbid they make integrate any commentary about this into their writing. 🙄 On the note of showing solidarity to the Asian community, how's Keemo doing nowadays?

Melrose Place's Sandy Harling. Not that I thought it was bad - she was far more convincing than whatever accent MEK thinks he's doing on GH. She went from having a southern accent to a super southern accent to having no accent at all in a span of like 5 episodes. Special mention goes to Brenda Dickson's transatlantic theatrical accent she put on Jill on the tail end of her run on Y&R.

Vinny in today's episode:

I didn't think it was bad at all! Crossposting from the GH thread - with WL's performance, I genuinely saw the pain of a teenager reacting to a loved one dying rather violently (mind you this character has gone though SEVERAL losses over the last few years). I also find the comparisons to WR's performance unfair - with WR, I just saw a classically trained actor who got lost on his way to a Shakespearian Theatre and ended up on the GH soundstage.
