I thought they looked good together, and I can see it.

I'm open to more pre-emptions like these.

How about the first Tucker, before Stephen Nichols? I didn’t think he was remotely good looking, let alone sexy.

Today? When doesn't Zach Tinker look yummy? Yep. I really don't want to see this kind of acting full-time.

I agree with you about Alex as a caricature, but I place the blame on the writing. I hear you on the fratboy stuff, but what are those things he can do differently? I don't know what can be done with a character written that way.

HUH??? As I've said before, I like RSW, but I agree with you guys about Alex. I heard Wilson on a podcast going on and on (and on) about the work put into creating the character, and how hard he's worked to make Alex completely different from Ben. I mean, it's laughable. I do think RSW has done fine with what he's been given, but the writing for Alex (character AND plot) is just terrible, and couldn't be much worse.

Bold & Beautiful -- where EVERY argument between Ridge and whoever he's married to sends him IMMEDIATELY back to the other woman...where he says he wants to stay "forever." No time taken to discuss disagreements and problems. No time taken before running to another woman. Just do it the next day OR EVEN THE SAME DAY. What sh#t writing.

I'm soooooo tired of Miz Wu's low, monotone voice that's intended to evoke power and fear. I know she's popular on soap boards, but I think her acting is laughable. That's how I feel about her. The writing for her was better when she was first introduced, and the actress was fine with that "Esme is a conniving brat" stuff. But seeing her as a brilliant, mysterious mover and shaker of others' lives? Just no. And I never stop thinking about how ridiculous her visits are with her father -- how she gets in, how he's always alone, how no one monitors anything.

Not sure what’s cracking you up. Do you see the smirks, too, or do you think I’m ridiculous for even seeing the smirks and grins? The. Guy breaks in every scene. That’s horrible acting.

I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but I’m not that crazy about Esme. I just don’t find the actress as threatening and as evil as she should be. Sticking that black.hood on her head isn’t enough.

Michael Kruse is 32. He does not look 23. Can he pass for 5 years younger? Yeah. But miss me with the "He looks 23ish" stuff. He's also really boring. Maybe it's the writing, but the character is DULLSVILLE.

I'm not buying the Allie/Chanel stuff at all. They were married for 5 MINUTES before they started flirting with other guys and questioning their relationship. Just not believable. I guess that's why Chandler Massey grinned and smirked through the entire Will/Allie scenes.

I love Diedre/Marlena, too, but she should take a nap. No one's asking for "vile" and "blatant sexuality." She gave herself away when she said "Our audience isn't changing" when she should realize adding viewers isn't a bad thing as 80 year olds die off. And then she ends her comments by saying that Ron C is always "on the cutting edge"? JFC. We agree on a lot about DAYS, but I really don't understand why you hate RSW so much. If you don't like his acting, fine, but to pretend he's not good-looking and has an incredible body is kind of ridiculous.

The Marlena/Kristen scenes were cringe, especially since there was no logical reason for them to be together. None. The entire episode was filled with awful acting, which honestly, was the only enjoyable thing about it. Once you see Drake H make his "I smell a fart" face and every scene after that is filled with actors (some competent, some not) doing their worst work, all you can do is revel in the mess. The Nancy/Mike scenes did not work for me because it was all rushed. Going from intense anger to "It really was nice to see you" with a 10-minute conversation is ludicrous. And no, Mike throwing in "I thought I might be gay when I was in high school" doesn't make me applaud Ron C for his tribute to history. It's time we stop thanking these writers for ONE LINE surrounded by an hour of trash. I did have to laugh at Nancy's excuse for what she did when she was with Craig: "It was a bad time for me." I mean, isn't it ALWAYS a bad time for Nancy? Isn't that ALWAYS her excuse? The woman NEVER makes good choices but always blames someone or something else. Leo and Craig? Jesus...just make it stop. Somewhere between years ago and 2022, Kevin Spirtas forgot how to act. Leo? Still and forever annoying.

I thought the same. It's like they hired a guy who was never in front of a camera before.

I did notice McKinsey directed, which made me doubly shocked about the blocking of the scene I mentioned. And yes, "Jennifer's Hysteria" was toned down. I know Cady has a lot of fans, but I can't sign off on how she plays Jennifer just because Melissa Reeves is an awful human being.

You're so right about ALL of this. Today's show annoyed the hell out of me. Leo is beyond annoying. BEYOND. No one would put up with his bullsh#t. When I see how focused Ron C is on his character, I know he doesn't care what anyone says online. If Sonny gets involved with him....I mean, kill me now. WHY hire a hot guy like Zach Tinker as Sonny just to pair him with LEO? And yes, I'm shallow. Leo is NOT hot enough, and there's nothing sexual about him. The Jennifer and Gwen stuff today was absurd -- and so typical of the way Carlivati saves a character. Just ridiculous even BEFORE we get the gosh-gee-open-mouth response from Cady McClain, who gets worse as Jennifer every day. Nancy? The character CANNOT be salvaged....which means Ron C will save her and make her look even dumber and even less worthy of respect. Getting back with Craig? In what universe except one in which she's so self-loathing it's pathetic? The Mike scenes with Julie and Doug were fine, but I was struck by the scene where Mike first appears. The blocking and direction are horrendous. Mike's face cannot be seen, and there's no reason to film it that way. Clearly, to save $5, they didn't shoot the scene again.

He wasn’t popular, but there’s nothing about the character that says he can’t be. TSJ is a strong actor.

Must be your internet service. I’ve never had a problem streaming Peacock. By the way, we constantly heard about filmed scenes on NBC that had to be cut for time. Why couldn’t those scenes be shown now?

Completely agree about Allie -- what a drag her character has been. And although I'll take Johnny shirtless ANY day of the week, the scenes with an ogling Chanel and an angry Allie are getting tired. I know people like the Abby/Chad goodbye scenes, but that's another soap cliche I can do without -- the cemetery scene where the dead character appears and gives life lessons to the living. It's also tired. Can someone give the guy who plays Li some acting lessons? Because, my God, he's terrible. P.S. The Nancy and Clyde scenes were sickening. Nancy having a constant pity party is not fun to watch. And the one question she has for Clyde is to ask if he was going to kill her next? UGH. I'm finding her to be insufferable.

He was on for under one minute. How can you call his character worthless?

So did I...all over the place terrible. When Cady first took over the role, I was over the moon about her, not only because I found her real but because I've grown to dislike the real Missy Reeves so much. Since then, it's been all downhill with Cady, with scenery chewing and over-emoting and sobbing without tears. Just UGH I never thought I'd miss Melissa Reeves as Jennifer, but here we are.

LMAOOOOOOOOO And am I the only one who hopes the hooker killed Diane??? I really want her dead.

LOL And wasn't it amazing to hear Clyde give ALL the details to Chad? He coughed up everything in 2 minutes and answered all our questions. I would have preferred to see Clyde marry Dumb Nancy and take her for a ride (figuratively, that is). I agree that Ron has ruined Nancy, but there's no turning back on that now. Arresting Clyde and not getting married doesn't exactly save Nancy, because now she'll cry about THAT and how dumb she was and is. If only someone would reply, "Yes, Nancy, you are dumb."

They should make Epiphany the killer, saying that the stress of studying to be a doctor got to her. I mean, she's on that fast track where you become an M.D. in a year or less. And with all the crime on that Port Charles dock and pier,why is there NEVER a cop or security around? I guess that happens when you have a police chief like Jordan who spends her time interviewing people at the hospital.
