Exactly. I remember Mal (I think it was) who tried to make Devon into this debauched wealthy party boy, and it was SUCH a flop because it was so sanitized. Just three or four goofy-looking young adults in Devon’s apartment with drinks in their hands dancing to generic music pulled from a royalty-free library.

Which I feel is total unimaginative BS. And kinda suspect to be honest. There’s a wealth of ideas for a young character who comes into money, especially having to defend that wealth from bottom feeders (like Colin, Cane, Tucker, the list goes on). And does Victor not have goals or drive because he has all the money in the world? Even the BLM story, while timely and certainly relevant, sounds like SSM putting Devon in his “place.” She’s right that Devon needed a goal, but his wealth didn’t preclude that. That said, it’s hard on this show because they have to think super small. You can’t dramatize wealth that easily because you can’t show it. You watch a show like Succession and it’s so fleshed out and populated with so many small characters to show what a big company looks like. Soaps will never ever compete at that primetime level, but you don’t even have a secretary or extras at the once rarely seen Jabot or at Newman anymore.

Yep. I would call it “ambient,” but Stafford’s caterwauling breaks the spell. I can’t imagine many people clamoring for that HW job. Yeah, it’s remunerative but it’s demanding even under the best circumstances + you’re being micromanaged? Hell naw.

I found that really annoying to watch lol.

Richard Burgi has been on Y&R (Ashland), DAYS (Philip), and GH (Paul Hornsby).

Oh an answer hanging in plain sight. Thanks.

Ashley Jones has been on Y&R (Megan), B&B (Bridget), and GH (Parker). Kimberlin Brown has been on Y&R/B&B (Sheila) and GH (Rachel).

Sarah Brown has been on GH (Carly/Claudia), DAYS (Madison), and B&B (Aggie). Eileen Davidson has been on DAYS as Kristen et al and Ashley on Y&R/B&B.

The answer is always gonna be Vincent Irizarry for me. 😂 AMC from 1990-94 had a lot of great stuff happening, talented performers, and some wonderful moments/episodes but I have no interest in revisiting it, especially all of the Wildwind stuff that took over the show. Only compared to post-1996 AMC does it feel like a golden era. 1995 was awesome, though. Everything afterwards can kick rocks.

I cannot stand Ashley. The only person she’s ever shown loyalty to is Monique, and that’s because M covered for Ashley’s sleazeball husband. She just seems completely amoral and out for herself. She’s lucky she’s beautiful and charismatic.

Bleh, “Kill Bill” tops the global chart while “Anti-hero” is No. 1 for an eighth week here in the U.S.:

Totally wrong thread lol.

Last night’s Potomac reminded me slightly of the Puerto Rico ambush of LVP on BH.

Thighs like what, what what.
