That’s another good one I was thinking about but couldn’t find a group photo.

I thought they were pretty good:

Mari Jo Mason? Lol.

GH and DAYS are overrun with villains (unsurprisingly, given their histories) while B&B has Sheila (and possibly Grace). Y&R can’t even muster one decent one. I don’t get it. It’s Soaps 101.

NuJordan looks (and sounds) like she’s reading her lines off Brook Kerr’s face.

Was RC also responsible for Kim Zimmer and the “pig” and “Fat Sow” jokes when she was on OLTL as Echo?

Or they’re writing for “a surprise twist” they don’t want to telegraph so they’re making Ashland less overt. But JG’s twists always fall flat. I dunno. They’re sorta hanging RN out to dry. RN can absolutely play a baddie, but RB doesn’t even have to act it. He just looks like a thug. But of course RB struggled with the all-over-the-place writing for Ashland all the same. On the list.

Shows who they care about.

In need of a palate cleanser:

YES

There’s no fighting! Different strokes for different folks. I do like a long-haired dude:

Funny how Ridge and Brooke’s little theme reminds me ever so slightly of Angelo Badalamenti‘s Twin Peaks stuff.

Hopefully, this gets picked up and he leaves B&B, for his own benefit. Black performers will not be able to thrive on these shows.

Wasn’t he supposed to be more involved with Johnny as the producer of his movie? Granted, I don’t watch all the time, but I haven’t seen them in scenes in ages…

What are your recommendations to watch him? I think I prefer his hair buzzed.

I do wonder if Y&R’s budgetary woes are due to its veteran star-heavy cast. It’s actually embarrassing how claustrophobic, sterile, and static the show feels. It used to be the most open, free-flowing, lush, cinematic soap, and now it’s the most confined. Even crappy DAYS with its artificial-looking sets feels more dynamic. I must say, even though I dogged Richard Burgi’s wooden performance, he looks menacing in a way Robert Newman does not. I don’t buy the physical intimidation factor with Ashland with RN in the role.

I just want him to have the mustache and beard the same length… the pornstache and the stubble just looks very Williamsburg hipster circa 2002.

That’s the thing: so many writers/journalists/critics who ostensibly cover the industry are secretly angling to worm their way in themselves. They’ll pull their punches on the people they want to work with eventually. Can’t burn those bridges with negative coverage.

She’s good. She made that Jeff Webber story sound lived-in and believable.

Hopefully, Christopher Sean’s return is not far behind…
