The 4-quadrant blocking had me HOWLING! Just so awkward and so damn bad.

I only tuned in once in a while before COVID because everything was so boring and there were no "stories" on the story as my Granny used to say - we called thme the "Stories". and when I tuned in today for a couple of minutes today, there isn't anything I want to watch.  There's just nothing interesting.  I watched several of the classic episodes and it made me sad for the show that I knew.   Won't be coming back, it's too late for me.  The characters are just so boring.  There's just no fire.  This will be hard for people to stomach and it's just my opinion but the actors and characters and show are so much far worse than when Guiding Light was cancelled.  Far worse.  There was something likeable about that cast and people.  There is just nothing going on in Genoa City and no one I want to see.    

I get it that you hate the show and think it’s too boring and that you’re not coming back.

Still, I’m betting we haven’t heard the last from you. You’ll be back to tell us how you watched 4 minutes of an episode, got bored, and turned it off. I do admit that throwing in that it’s worse than GL was at the end is something new, so you’re keeping your posts interesting.

i also enjoy posts from many others — who want to pretty much change all the characters and all the actors. Yeah, that’ll happen. Can’t wait to see it.

I absolutely despise the entire Cyrus Renault storyline. The guy does not seem dangerous enough and he’s not believable as an horrific killer, either. I don’t care about anyone he’s dealing with, including Jordan. If she dies, she dies.

It’s also tiresome with Nelle calling the shots over all these people who hate her, and I do not want to see even more scenes of Sonny at his dying father’s bedside. Kill me now.

I thought the first show back was pretty decent, mixing newly shot scenes with flashback catch ups. The wig on MTS was a mistake, but Mark Grossman’s new hairstyle made up for it, and he looks hot.

Y&R isn’t what it used to be, but none of the soaps is. I think it needs work, but I don’t think it’s nearly as bad as people here are making it out to be.

Maxie's hair is TRAGIC. How did they let her go on camera looking like that?

 

Same for Julian He looks awful in those pics.

 

I'd be okay if we kept Lindsay Hartley and never had to watch KeMo sleepwalk through scenes again.

Agree with all of that.

Julian looked much better with a buzz cut.

The camera work on this show is horrible, and so is the blocking. I understand distancing, but shots look like they’re 10 yards away from each other.

Kissing the doll is bad enough — so damn fake — but did they lay off all their wardrobe and hair people, too? No one looks styled or stylish. Liam and Thomas have facial hair that isn’t trimmed.

And Quinn is buried in a winter wig that has way too much hair,  bad bangs, and weighs about 20 lbs.

This show returned too soon.

They did some creative music editing in today's classic. I normally don't mind them but this is one instance I wish they didn't switch it out for an inferior cue (I always thought the one used in 2020 was too schmaltzy haha).

 

 

The 2020 music isn’t bad, but the original cue is SO much better. Completely different atmosphere to the entire scene, and I have no idea why they’d even touch it.

BTW, I thought Christel Khalil was just terrific in this episode.

I am so confused about KSt's hair today. What on earth...

Confused? It looked like hell. That hair is tragic. Time for a makeover.

"You don't look old enough to be a grandpa. Although with all that plastic surgery, you DO look old enough to be a grandma."

 

Speaking of Roman, I think the show has found the perfect way to avoid shooting love scenes while the pandemic is still raging. As soon as two characters are about to get hot and heavy, just have Roman walk in and interrupt them with his boring stories about fishing trips. 

That will work. Roman’s mush mouth will wreck the scene even further.

Angry Sonny 

Angry Sonny was so bad, but honestly, Will was no better.

The writing for these two is awful, and these two never fail to live down to it. Why should we give a damn about them as parents of one kid let alone two?  The storyline is bad, the writing is bad, and the acting is horrific.

This is the first time I've watched GH in probably over a year. What the hell is this accent Michael E Knight is using?

Michael E Knight’s accent is so bad I crack up every time he opens his mouth. It’s like Norma Desmond is at the end of her career and she’s trying really, really hard to be noticed.

This Ben stuff is HORRENDOUS. I love KDP but it's ridiculous watching Ben in his briefs getting tortured.

Honestly, it’s worth it just to look at him. Not ridiculous at all.

You know, KA is 56 damn years old. It’s past time she stopped rolling her eyes about playing a grandmother. That ship done sailed.

When Allie said she wasn’t signing the papers and Sonny looked at Will, why was Will smiling about that? I immediately thought about you guys on this board, someone should have called him out on that it completely took me out of the story smh

Yep. As everyone knows, I complain about Chandler Massey’s smirking and smiling all the time — and he ruined that moment today. He’s become a rotten actor. 
 

He also played the entire scene when Sonny was angry all wrong — just standing there like a sullen little puppy. Was he supposed to be afraid of Sami?  Between him and Freddie Smith’s rotten scenery chewing....UGH.

Lindsay Hartley was great, and I was struck that production allowed her to play Sam her way. Obviously, no one told her to tone it down, and that was really a surprise.

If KM never returned, I wouldn’t care.

The camera work for the kissing scenes is already REALLY tiresome. I hope they stop what they’re doing, because it looks ridiculous.

So does Scott Clifton’s beard.

I thought the Ned and Olivia scenes were terrible. They both seemed really stiff, and none of it was believable. I felt like those characters barely knew each other.

What good is rooting for her? You don’t know how this ends?

Arianna reminds me of Charlotte on GH, spoiled and bratty.

 

And I do like Will and Sonny/Chandler and Freddie, but yeah their scenes are so low energy, it’s sad. But I do have to ask, how much of that is attributed to the one and done style of filming that DAYS does? 

I can’t buy that as an excuse. Everyone else’s scenes aren’t low energy and filled with smirking.

I’ll give it to them, that’s a solid week of episodes, as is this week, but this is definitely better. I appreciate the mix of old and new they do. I feel that allows them to squeeze in more older episodes because they can argue balance. They certainly handled that better than B&B and GH. 

Yeah, I agree. Y&R has done a nice job with these classics. I don’t think GH and B&B offered even one must-see episode during this entire period.

I thought the little girl had some good comic timing, and I'd go easier on her because she's a small child. FS and CM have no such excuse, and they looked visibly uncomfortable around this little girl who's supposed to be their beloved daughter.

 

Scenes like this make the other characters' claims that "Will and Sonny would be the BEST adoptive parents" seem even more surreal. Just because they're a desexualized gay couple doesn't mean they'll make great parents!

I hear you about the little girl. It’s just that she plays the part like a bad seed / demon child. I blame casting, because I just don’t believe that’s the best they could do.

Agree with you completely about CM and FS. God, they’re just terrible. Their scenes are some of the worst on television, and there’s nothing about them that spells “relationship.” It’s all smirking and grinning and mocking their dialogue, followed by just unbelievable talks of parenting.

That full interview with Morrow, Case, and Grimes is about 40 minutes, and definitely worth watching. Really enjoyed it. You can tell the 3 of them not only respect each other, but also really love each other. 
 

Josh described his relationship with Sharon Case as putting on his favorite hoodie. They all laughed, but Morrow explained it and it made perfect sense. 

I agree that the Ben propping is beyond ridiculous, but so is the hate on this board for Ben and for RSW. I mean, seriously— it’s nuts.

You want REALLY bad acting? Those scenes with Will, Sonny, and their daughter were fricking horrendous. The girl is a terrible actress, and Will and Sonny do nothing but grin and act like parents who have spent ZERO time with their kid except for a conversation once a month on that couch.

It's just dumb.  The person to commit the crime is the first to go on in before the family is notified?  I didn't watch all week until Thursday or so...were there any police?  You just let this man walk in?  

 

You’re right, but you’ve also watched soaps long enough to know that this happens all the time. I just can’t get worked up about it.

And are the writers getting paid by how many times they can they can add "Penny" in the script?

I think so, and GOD, that girl is a terrible actress. She comes across as THE dumbest doctor in the history of television.

Wyatt and Flo were played as some grande love when he found her. I just stayed back watching but keep up with soaps reading comments on social media and recaps. That reunion seemed a bit too overly done. 

Soooooo overdone. I howled with laughter, actually. It’s total camp at this point, because it’s just ridiculous.

This Friday classic episode was really a dud. 

Is it just me, or did Ciara and her bedding gown get dirtier and dirtier with every scene after the explosion? 
 

LOL I swear the girl was playing in dirt between scenes.
