What did you think of Ava's exit?

I remember that entire summer in LA too. 🤣🤣🤣

I hope someone is able to virtual interview Lisa Peluso about her time on SFT and Loving one of these days. I do agree with you about how my enjoyment of Ava mostly comes from the performances and charisma of Lisa Peluso. Though I do like Alex/Ava as a couple I also love seeing her with her other core relationships too. I'm in the middle of watching of Curtis/Dinah Lee wedding with Ava being protected by Jeremy. Even though I'm not a big fan of that pairing. I do like the scenes when Jeremy was zipping her dress up and she was teasing him about being this slow when it comes to unzipping out of the blue. 😂 That's why I believe Lisa one of the unsung heroes of Loving.

You're probably right about Sutton. But mostly for Mishael Morgan's performances. This storyline could've went down better. Why are we supposed to care about characters we have no history with regarding a murder mystery?

They might've filmed this when Camryn was vacationing in Ireland (According to her IG) I know she was there visiting with Hayley Erin (ex Abby and ex Kiki - GH) who is staying there with her husband.

I wonder how a Claire Labine led As The World Turns would've been? 🤔

Imagined if Pam Long was brought onto save Loving in 1994/1995. I think she would've done well with Lisa Peluso's Ava; she probably would've seen her as this show's "Reva Shayne" She also would've probably written most of the men on the canvas pretty well since she flourished in writing good male characters for the most part. Though, I'm curious about how she would've written the black canvas. The shows she has written for weren't sprawling with minority excellence. I also can see her bringing on a new family too since that was her specialty on the soaps she has been at too, and she would've probably done well with the Rescott's too. Pam might've brought on some more members of the family and gave focus on Kate running the boarding house again,

I can see Reilly giving RJ a long-lost offspring much faster than he did in the early 2000's with Keri.

Throughout the episodes I've watched in the last few years. One thing is quite clear to me. Lisa Peluso is one of the unsung heroes of Loving. I wish Christopher Marcantel can get to interview with her and possibly have a virtual reunion with Randolph Mantooth. No matter how bad this show got or which eighty-five regimes were writing/producing. She is able to deliver what it is written from comic to dramatic scenes. She was a force of nature and I wish she would've gotten the chance to continue acting. I'm curious if the show went past 1995 and they never did The City. I wonder who would've taken over and what some of the stories would've been?

I like Larkin Malloy in different roles. But of all the Clay's I've seen he is my least favorite. He was a good actor but he just wasn't right for the role. And as @DRW50pointed out the writing seemed to be a mess. I have to see more of 1992 but from the episode(s) I've saw the writing wasn't Loving at it's best. That was my first time seeing the character of Staige after all of the years of me reading about her on this board. She does seem like a precursor to Steffi. Though seemed more generic as a poor little rich girl. I like Trisha/Trucker and I thought the acting was good. But it seemed Stacey was a bit lost after Jack died. I wish they would've eventually revealed he was alive. Also I've been checking out those June 1993 episodes and I do like what is happening in them more than 1992. My favorite Clay was played by Dennis Parlato. He seemed to have the right balance of schemer and patriarch of the Alden family. Though I think James Horan is a close second in terms of being the one who refused to grow up despite being someone with a family.

I'm trying to imagine if Nancy Curlee or Pam Long were brought in 1994/1995 to fix Loving. I wonder what they would've brought to the show?

You're Welcome!!!

Ron would totally get a kick out of reading about Angela/Deveney I can see him bringing back Felicia and her son to the canvas. Or possibly bring back a divorced Kristen with a new actress in the role. He would totally have a gay character being Steffy or Thomas' sidekick who blackmails one of them in exchange for their designs to be featured in a fashion show for Forrester. I can see Ron bringing in a old school soap vet to be Bill's mother who is a campy diva to possibly set her up with Eric too.

Another episode from October 1992

Did you like the story when Brenda went broke?

That makes too much sense!!!

Exactly! I'm sure he could've told most of everyone what it was for. I mean most of Sonny and Carly marriages were in fact marriages of convenience.

From a person who have only saw the pilot. I enjoyed it mostly but I think one of the problems it has that this show has way too many characters in my opinion.
