Frank acts like he's scared of there being any *real* drama. 

He and Josh Griffith have that in common. Just weird, right? I wouldn’t want to go to the other extreme (where B&B and DAYS often go, with zero consequences or character follow-up), but there are so many dramatic opportunities sitting right in front of them that these shows don’t take.

She really looks great in that video. 

 

I'm already bored out of my mind. Can we get a massacre going? Frank is such a buzzkill.

 

Blando and Austin (get it "Dr. GH") suck. I think it's hilarious to see Howarth stans on social media come to his defense after folks are turning on Austin "well he looks good in a tux". And? Howarth is a popular actor with the cast and crew and seems like a great guy but it's time to cut him loose. We shouldn't even be discussing him having his zillionth role. How many years are we going to waste on trying to make this character happen?

 

And Maxie/Austin is plot driven and they have NO chemistry. Not that it will stop them. Ironically Howarth and Amanda Setton have some. HELL, Herbst and Easton even have some. Zamprogna and Monaco have some. 

 

Lisa LoCicero looked fabulous. They dress Kirsten Storms so frumpy. But overall they looked good.

I'm also tired of how they choose to write certain characters, such as Austin. As we all live through Olivia's dislike of him, of course there's the underlying "Olivia's wrong and Austin is just poor misunderstood Dr. GH" and I wish soaps would stop this [!@#$%^&*].

 

I appreciated we got some Monica and Bobbie

Totes. Stories are climaxing, and I find myself totally distracted when watching instead of gripped.

Was that Chandler’s actual house in the background?  

I can’t cry anymore, while you run around…

This young woman is going to be sooooooo rich, it’s insane.

A new GA oral history details Patrick Dempsey’s bad behavior and “HR issues” that led to Shonda Rhimes putting her foot down and his departure:

Tanner Novlan exists only to be dumb and naked. An age-old himbo tradition that only B&B and DAYS are carrying forward.

Meanwhile, Paris is just dumb…

Man, all of these shows are particularly rough these days.

From Variety: Mayim Bialik will host Jeopardy through November 5, then she and Ken Jennings will trade off hosting duties through the end of the year. The search for a permanent host is ongoing.

The show is just terrible. Did they shoot their creative wad on the spinoff?

Britt/Jason does feel like a dropped story, even though they still reference it. It’s all so bizarre and incoherent.

The Bodyguard is getting a remake, y’all.

Report: Wendy has a breakthrough case of COVID. Her season premiere has been pushed to October.

LW’s wedding hairstyle reminds me of her ‘do from the women’s suffrage episode.

I just happened to tune in today. What’s with the set design?! The panel was facing the live studio audience while interviewing Angela Bassett, who was coming in from a remote location, but she was on a huge screen that came down and completely obscured the studio audience. I’m assuming the screen was double-sided so the audience could see Angela, but it was just odd.

Yeah, the women’s final had a lot more glamour and youth, plus a more surprising story. People were way more invested in the women’s side this year. The men’s matches were mostly boring during the second week (after the Alcaraz/Tsitsipas match and the success of qualifiers like Otte and Botic vdZ). Very predictable and uninspired. 

The biggest men’s finals in recent years have usually been Roger vs. Novak. The other ones… meh.

Have I missed any scoop emerging from the BH reunion?

Feels like things have been on lock.

Saw this.

GH is the best soap by far right now, but it’s still pretty mediocre. Payoffs aren’t worth the build-up for the most part. They squander all that “make ‘em wait” energy for these tension-free reveals. We’ve said that so many times in recent months (like the Michael/Willow/Chase confrontation). Hopefully they can stick the landing a bit better when PC as a whole learns Sonny is alive.

@victoria foxton Thanks for sharing, but that photo really pisses me off. If you are going to cosplay an iconic soap-related magazine cover, then you should try to have two people who can at least act. That  broken ab machine just looks constipated, as  he has on all his soap work, and she just looks like she's trying to  figure out what died on her head. I'm not sure if one image has better epitomized the death of this genre.

LMAO. VK looks a mess there.
