I wonder is this a test if the show ever got canceled on the network that the series can go streaming on Peacock? I will be watching and curious to see if the quality will be any better? I wouldn't mind if they allowed them to swear slightly more.

It reminds me when TJ was "Arrested offscreen" at Wyndham's and Sonny dealt with it. I'm like why didn't we get this story on our screens for at least three to four months starting with the "robbery."

I wouldn't be surprised by the fall that they have Paris be the "Rebecca De Mornay" to Steffy's "Annabella Sciorra". This show doesn't have the best track record when it comes to Blacks and POC's. I knew when they first had Paris come onto the show something like this would eventually happen to this character. They hardly show Zende (Thank God) the actor and the writing is to blame for that. He should be having scenes with his family more. If you just started watching this show you would think Zende was just another employee instead of a Forrester who was adopted by Eric's eldest daughter and her husband in Africa twenty years ago.

I like both actresses but I can't see them as Cassie. Someone on here mentioned a long time ago that Sarah Brown would've been a great recast for Cassie and I actually can see her in that role. I would love for her to be in scenes with Kim Zimmer and I think she would bring that headstrongness that Carly had years ago.

Saw this on Twitter via Constance McCashin (Laura Avery Sumner)

Laura made the right decision. Thanks!!!

Who was Allie on All My Children? I love Jessica Collins. But I couldn't see her as Ally Rescott. I think Dinah Lee was the better role for her. Even if she was better than most of the material she was given.

You got that feeling to when Frank Grillo was mentioned too, huh?

I was the person who asked about Nada and Lisa. I figured Alan wouldn't ask too many questions to her about Loving we haven't heard about before.

Eric Woodall (Matt Ford) popped in and they're talking about their days on Loving.

According to SOD Marla Gibbs is joining DAYS as Olivia Price who will be playing Jackee Harr's Paulina Price's mother starting on August 17. Marla Gibbs Joins DAYS - Soap Opera Digest

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.
