Liberty City

All good; no worries, df! 🤍

I think it's smart doing it that way so people don't go looking at primetime hours. Plus, it's promising that "CBS Daytime drama" is used... feels like CBS is recommitted to their CBS Daytime programming block.

They really do; it feels like the "comfort crazy couple" returning home together. And it felt right.

I agree; I don't watch B&B (and have not since 2019), but looking at costuming on that serial, and I shutter in embarrassment. SAME! They are so beautiful together!!

They do. So well-dressed by their costume designer and her team. Nothing, and I do mean nothing looks ill-fitted on any of them. I'm sure with the multi-day shoot of the first episode it helped ease many into the daytime pace. I think Karla Mosley is going to bode well as Dani, but I am most excited for Daphnée Duplaix & Tamara Tunie. Tunie because I loved her work on World Turns and the Law & Order franchise. And Duplaix I am fully unaware of; I wasn't a One Life watcher but have heard nothing but praise for her work in the role of Rachel, as well as her other work, so I'm excited to see her as Nicole. She just looks like she commands the attention, and I like that.

Again, easy remedy for this: Marcus Coloma's stint as Nikolas Cassadine was not Nikolas, it was Connor Bishop (unknown to be alive). Victor Cassadine recruited him to replace Nikolas (still injured from being shot by Valentin), making Ace a Bishop and not a Cassadine, and it would also eradicate the bullshït writing/behaviour of Nikolas, re: Ava/Esme/Spencer.

Kai Kim is back directing for Y&R. Their last directed episode was September 26, 2017. He's been a camera/video operator at the soap off/on since 2002, with their tenures as: 2002–2010, 2012–2020, and returned to the role in 2023.

Shari Shattuck was not a bad Ashley; she just felt too cold for my liking, and she's even the first Ashley I recall watching. And wasn't the role recast because Brenda Epperson decided to leave? Some time passed between Epperson's final episode and Shattuck's debut. Sandra Nelson was a fantastic Phyllis for the time period she was on the show. Again, she is the first Phyllis I recall watching. Much like the work of Gina Tognoni, I feel like Nelson's work in the role helped ground the character... which it needed. For me, it's Michelle Stafford's work that keeps Phyllis the way she is, and it's hindering the character.

Just noticed a goof while watching the live airings, via Amazon: following the explosion at Lassiters Hotel, when Toadie is in the hospital, the patient name is displayed as "R. Rebecchi". Yet, it should be "J. Rebecchi" for Jarrod Rebecchi. So, who is "R. Rebecchi"?

Let's hope; how he even got hired in the first-place baffles me. He should have stuck to his "wishful casting" bits. That's about all he's ever been good for.

Wow. Amazing. Thanks so much for continuing these kind of finds, @DRW50

You can tell this cast just gets along. And I love that.

It's likely because of block-taping of scenes, and they were cut-paste in. Messy way of doing things.
