Darn

I just hope NC doesn't join Murphy's assembly line of handsome young actors he wants to fcuk. It's nice job security but I'd hate to see him pigeon-holed in the FX cabal for the next decade as one of the interchangeables. I hate that they've already setup Esme as a romantic spoiler for Sprina. They've been dating for a MONTH. And haven't actually gone on a single date. And they're no closer to having sex than they were 2 years ago. If Spencer and Esme have angry sex I'm gonna be pissed. Spencer and Trina have plenty to contend with without that. The lighting lately is atrocious, every set is so brightly lit. It's like blinding. Is Nina's thing going to be lying to men with amnesia? The entire town wringing their hands over Drew's prison sentence is...just the most slanted writing I've seen in quite some time. We have all of Port Charles crying "Injustice!" over Drew going away for a financial crime he committed. This is a punishment of his own making! And it's not when a character goes to jail for murdering someone evil, they don't have morality on their side, they made purely selfish decisions and now I'm supposed to feel sorry for them? I hope he dies in prison. Carly's 5 million penalty means nothing. 1) If Carly can be fined 5 million dollars by the government and has the liquid cash to pay that it becomes of no real punishment. It's a substantial amount of money but she can afford it. 2) It won't change her quality of life in any way. We won't see Carly clipping coupons, buying in bulk at Costco, asking Josslyn to get a part-time job to help with the bills. 3) Carly has two multi-millionaire ex-husbands, one of whom she shares a minor child with and even if she didn't he could easily and would happily give her a few million. So tell me, what was the point of giving Carly that penalty?

It definitely is.

Doesn't everyone who cares know this dummy is alive by now?

The goatee looks good on Walt. I bet you dollars to donuts they'll casually mention his wife Erica is off on a book tour or something.

They're definitely catering to a more conservative audience. But the conservative crowd who view themselves as Boss Babes and don't take sh!t from no man except their husband. That's why Carly is now treated like a generally nice person with an attitude and not the extreme narcissist she is. THAT'S why we have Carly of all people saying "I'll pray for you" every other week. Imagine Carly praying. The other day I think Drew called her the glue that holds her family together. Calm down blockhead. And characters grow, that's how Rachel went from the villain to heroine on AW. Kim had an affair with her sister's husband on ATWT then went on to become the beloved matriarch of the show. Carly's development has not progressed to that point, she's still just as cruel and vindictive except now it's praised or blatantly ignored. Yesterday for instance, Sam wasn't even allowed to be mad at Carly for more than a moment. AND ANOTHER THING Carly had the audacity to bad mouth her "best friend's" husband yet again while commiserating with Sonny. Two of the most self-centered in Port Charles were slagging Ned. "Typical Ned!" They can both go to hell. An engaged mostly non-white audience. He wants none of that. He thinks people are on the edge of their wondering if poor cancer-striken Willow is going to die (it would have been nice if they'd given her even one moment of strength during this storyline, except she's been moping around for a year like the school bully is picking on her). I wonder how many people it pisses off upstairs that Joss and Dex, two conventionally attractive young white in your classic Bad Boy/Good Girl coupling don't have anything close to the response Spencer and Trina have received.

I don't believe you can. Corday Produtions/Sony haven't released all episode anywhere. You can find some old episodes like this on youtube, and some kind people on this board upload old episodes from other soaps but I don't think that activity exists for DOOL. And of course current episodes are streaming on Peacock but they only go back to last August.

It's really very funny. Frank runs up to Buzz "Hey pop, I gotta run. I've got a date...in the park" Of course you do. Every thing you do is outside. Daisy is in love with the baby she thought she was her little brother. And she leaves town with the mayor's blonde daughter in a ugly sedan. There are at least 4 infants in it. And several children under 10. And maybe two pregnancies? Lizzie's pregnant anyway. Here's half the cast spying on Blake and Frank at the park. Lmao

Pretty sure the girl in peach is Scout. Or Avery. One of them. It's really ridiculous. Baby rabies amongst daytime can all be traced back to, in my mind, Bianca's baby switch. Also the baby switch epidemic of the 2000s. It gives you 9 months at least of story. And a baby switch adds at least another year. Is it interesting story? No but it's a whole lot of time. Pregnancies are also easily network approved, as we've discussed.

3 men. 3 different fathers. It's crazy to think how soaps once operated. Erica Kane birthed ONE child in her entire 40 years on AMC.

Wasn't this story just launched in February? Jane's return was announced in March I believe.

Drew is on the show because he's Cameron Mathison and Carly needs a love interest. He's nothing outside of that. And I hate him. CamMat is not a good actor, that was obvious yesterday when KeMo even in her running on fumes state state out-acted him. I only know who Donna is because of that name (RIP to that member of the GH staff but no one is naming their kid Donna in 2023, especially on a soap opera) and she's younger than the other two who are truly interchangeable. Just two brunette children. This show is drowning in brown-haired children with no purpose. Back in the day Liz's kids, who are teenagers in real time mind you, would be kicking off a summer story. But the cast is too top-heavy for any of that. Can't write for teenagers when Robert is in the middle of a lukewarm romance with bit player Diane or Jordan is on everyday stinking up our screens with her who cares romance with Portia's brother (this actor is great, he deserves a better pairing). Leo is the only child on the show with any personality. I know it won't happen, on a better show it would, but I'd love it if Taggert's new position as police commissioner lead him to finally taking down Sonny. A 30 year old feud finally comes to a head as he institutes a task force to bring down Corinthos Coffee. It will forever bother me that they've made NOTHING out of his daughter dating a man related to two people he can't stand.

Soap characters no longer have any integrity but I'd be pretty upset about Ned allowing his autistic son to be traumatized by his father's rejection. So it'll probably happen. And I don't think the show is trying to say that Eddie Maine was ever a separate personality for Ned, just that the head trauma has caused him to disassociate. I would have preferred your 1995 idea @carolineg. If they'd secured Rena Sofer he could have woken up calling for Lois (or Katherine even), asked Tracy when she got so old, wondering how the hell Lois convinced him to name their child "Brooklyn". It would've been fun!

Employment with Corday Productions is more like a blood oath. But really good for him.

She's the only likable one out of the whole Black Bunch if you ask me. Lisa LoCicero and Jane Elliot are working overtime to make something out of this Ned amnesia plot point. The Tracy/Leo scene was very sweet and very Tracy. The writing for Nina is so bad. BLQ: My dad think he's Eddie Maine, he doesn't even know I'm his daughter! Nina: So--so you're saying he doesn't remember what the initials S. E. C. stand for?

Hahaha that's even better!

Eric Braeden is such Big Fish, Small Pond that I doubt Eva even heard about it. No one outside of the soap sphere cares what that man has to say.

Actors should take the opportunity to adlib so they don't all sound like bored robots.

Errol with the exclusive!

Do you think she's the devil incarnate and the worst character to appear on a show drowning in rapists and murderers? 😬

That's how I feel about Brook Lynn and Boy Scout Chase. But she's got no personality, no fire, no purpose outside of not making him upset. Why isn't she a spitfire like her mom? Look at us twinning.

They should just let the poor woman sit down! Instead she's wearing an oversized blazer and giant purse talking endlessly about her conservatorship. A lot of these appearances feel like they're just meeting an actor's guarantee. Every time Sam shows up I think "they really don't want Kelly to take a month long paid vacation to the Bali, do they?". Because she has absolutely nothing to do. If I have to watch one more scene where Sam and Dante, who always look like they just met, make out and talk about how amazing the other is I'll scream. And yeah, Nina's a nutjob.

Honestly, this Sasha/Gladys is go-nowhere doldrums. And we've had a solid 6 months of it. Sasha will yell at Gladys like an angry elementary school teacher and Gladys will beg for forgiveness. It's all so predictable and boring filler. Sure, why not? Sounds more interesting than, again, 5 months of go-nowhere story they'd treated us to. I can't believe they put Ned into a coma for Nina's stupid secret. Nina who has looked guilty for turning in Drew and Carly to the SEC (can they just say the government?) for months but doesn't seem bothered at all that Ned tripped running to tell on her?

Brook and Real are the only actors invested in any of this.

What's up with this show showing up on Hulu late or not at all? It's annoying. The investment in Jordan needs to stop. The actress doesn't have the RANGE. STOP IT!
