Liberty City

The thing is, Luann goes from the "Countess" to a double-standard individual, but this is definitely giving me season four Luann vibes, which is not a positive thing for me. RHOD lost its edge once LeeAnne left. I know she's controversial, but, she really did carry the franchise on her own, and, without her, they have little-to-nothing. I say hiatus it for a year and see what comes about.

In a hypothetical sense, yes.

Pretty sure he was referring to Laura no longer being his sister.

SAME! How General Hospital isn't, at bare minimum, number-two in the ratings is beyond me. Simply because The Bold and the Beautiful is on CBS is why it is in the position it's in, which is unfortunate. GH is, visually, the best it's been in years and I am loving it.

General Hospital should be higher! Shame!

The staircase. The sitting area by the walking path under the top of the stairs.

I got the same exact vibes.

I'd settle for the original Horton Town Square to return with some updates.

Sonja, when not influenced by alcohol, Ramona or her B.S., is actually a very sweet individual. But, she's clearly gone through a lot since her first two seasons. And I do mean A LOT!

I thought her Diana Ross or Donna Summer, whichever one she was, was the racist tipping point. Exactly. Luann took something differently than how Eboni had very clearly explained it, and when she tried to explain why and what she meant, Luann went off the hinges, and threw her TF out. And next week, it looks like "the Countess" is back on her pedestal. Gross. Oh, sh*t is going to hit the fan next week. In re-watching Tuesday night's episode, I am extremely uncomfortable with what went down. This goes beyond the drinking of the past few seasons. The very apparent underlying racism being displayed is gross and unacceptable.

Not to mention, Frank Valentini (or TPTB) were able to invest in 4K cameras, even if they're scaled to 1080p for air. That's fantastic. If only Ken Corday could manage.

One day the lights were just turned off; I'm also pretty sure they changed cameras, yet never changed post-production models. Even now it looks piss poor. Again, every single time they changed EP lineups, it all changes. And while the new sets around 2015 were nice, they all looked cheap AF! Even now the sets look cheap and recycled. The new DiMera set is nice, but, in comparison to the new sets General Hospital gives us, it pales in comparison.

That's unfortunate, because we need Wendy Riche as executive producer, and Susan Banks & Susan Dansby as head writer, or even someone like Lorraine Broderick.

Luann and Ramona are the two biggest hypocrites on RHONY. Like, beyond hypocritical, especially Ramona. She doesn't want "those words" spoken in front of her or Avery, yet immediately goes to Victoria, states them and asks those questions. Yet, takes the pictures with Leah? It's a damn front for the camera, and she can say to Heather she doesn't want to be in the press... but we ALL know she speaks to Page Six like they're up her you-know-what. And she was lusting after the nude model and Alfredo. Also.. Luann really has selective hearing. Eboni never said she was the smartest: she said she was, in technical terms, the most educated person out of the women, and SHE IS! It doesn't have to do with languages or your pedigree, it has to do with the actual fact of Eboni's education in SCHOOL! I love that Eboni called her and Ramona out, even breaking the fourth wall and demanding they roll back the tape, which they did, and proved her point. Not to mention, editors were shady AF with the whole "12 minutes after Ramona arrived." HAHAH! Ramona needs to get over herself. She is a woman of a certain age acting like a child, and it's high-time she grew TF up! I can appreciate both Heather and Sonja trying to hear Eboni out when she was at the table trying to explain things. Also.. the fact everyone knew Leah was struggling and even had a breakdown moments before dinner, why would they (especially Luann and Ramona) poke at her? Like, no.

Rooms? You mean room... which they recycle and re-use for different sets of people. Much like they ended up doing with the GCAC. It reminds me of Days of Our Lives re-using the same kind of set for different sets. The fact that the Restless Style set was Victor's old penthouse is the biggest "what the fuh" moment. As for Jabot... I'd rather Jack's office return. It was much nicer. They could have, at least, recycled the Chancellor boardroom. Ah yes, ageism at its finest. We love to see it in 2021.

It was five years between C.C.'s divorce from Pamela and his first marriage to Sophia. They are as follows: Pamela Pepperidge (195?–1956) Sophia Wayne (1961–1985, 1987–1988, 1990–1991) Gina DeMott (1985, 1986–1987) Elena was born after Mason, and before Sophia gave birth to Brick (who was born shortly after C.C. and Sophia wed in 1961).

I know the Dobsons wanted Pamela to show up much sooner than she did, too... but NBC and New World objected.

I'm pretty sure by fall of 2015 they completely swapped to new cameras, as Melissa Reeves stated they went to 4K-type cameras, yet, I don't think anyone in post-production has handled the transition well. I've seen it in other productions where new cameras were brought in, and post-production suffered, until lighting was fixed, etc. These are my simple colour-fixes via Photoshop using what Days of Our Lives put out: Current sets look better than others, especially at certain angles. This was February 2021, in the same general position as all but the April 2020 image I posted:

The post-production look of the show; every single time Ken Corday brought on a new executive producer, the quality began to suffer. It's better now than it was... but it is still a poor-looking soap. The cameras they use on the DOOL App would be better-looking than what we have now. February 2012 was their best-looking production-wise, but even 2014 and 2015 look relatively fine.

I completely agree; it is the downturn of Jill Farren Phelps becoming executive producer around this time. Especially since there are a myriad of couples who I believe could have and should have been more focused on than Cruz-Eden, who I see little draw towards. I think anytime one soap forces one particular couple to the forefront, while back burning others, it is a major turn-off. Cruz-Eden may have been popular, but, I do believe front burning their story is what really drove this soap to lose its footing.

Because, around this time, Jill Farren Phelps became executive producer, and she chose to shift the focus on the Cruz-Eden pairing.

Awesome thanks.

Wow. Thanks so much!
