I thought it was clever too. Of the remaining soaps, DAYS does this the best. I cringe at Y&R’s attempts to acknowledge contemporary culture.

Yeah, it’s gonna be a long road. A recast *might* help somewhat, but we know that’s not happening.

True. Cyrus and Peter are way too embedded in every story on GH, and neither character works, so it’s like a wet blanket over even the more promising plots.

Yeah I’m over Laura and her brothers. It’s sad because I was intrigued by the show digging into her history and giving her a meaty story that could be worthy of her star power. And GH just hasn’t been able to thread the needle in terms of giving their bad guys vulnerability recently. We could empathize with someone like Faith and still find her unsettling. I blame the writers.

I wish I liked Willow more, as she shares a name with one of Joan’s most famous songs lol.

Yep. Love her!

I was just thinking about that today. What’s the tea?

LOL

Haha. I’d be satisfied if Sasha and Willow simply didn’t make it out alive.

Why does Peter’s face only move below the eyes? You see his jaw and neck just going crazy, but the eyes and forehead are as still as stone. Botox? (Yes, this is what it’s come to.) I love Britt and Brook Lynn. They’re like the anti-Sasha and Willow.

Lol don’t get us shut down in this thread with the Vola Voof talk. She’ll materialize, and it’ll be a wrap. I was here for the lunacy back in the day.

Just to show I can walk and chew gum at the same time: when Liam fainted, I definitely said to myself, “What a little bitch.” But I also thought, “Damn, Scott Clifton has some nice quads in those pants.”

There are moments when Marci’s Abby is giving me Alicia Coppola-as-Lorna vibes (just a hint).

This is the issue I had with potentially making Thomas bisexual on B&B. I was troubled by the idea that the very first queer male character in B&B history, on a show set in the *fashion industry*, being an abusive nutcase. It just veers too close to equating queer sexuality with pathology and psychosis. If there’d been a rich tradition of queer male characters on B&B, fine. Break open the poppers. But it didn’t sit well with me. Similar to how distasteful it was that OLTL made its first post-Billy Douglas gay male character a serial killer.

I love seeing Lily get snippy with Victoria. Why did they wait so long?

They finally came for Scott Rudin’s demented ass.

Loved Rick and Abby. Mike and Carrie on DAYS were another normie couple I loved. But Michael/Willow are like Miracle Whip without the zing. JMO. YMMW.

This Claire doesn’t seem like she’d set someone on fire (twice), true. They are doing a decent job moving Chanel around town. If this were Y&R, she’d still be in Devon’s apartment.

Valentin/Carly is a pairing I never really considered. It’s an interesting thought. He certainly gets under her skin. I just need JPS to eat a Ritz cracker or something.

Sick.

RTD did her SO dirty. I find it a huge blemish on his career, and I respect him a lot. While Martha got many opportunities to be a bad-ass, she essentially got sidelined in that season’s best episodes by two white chicks (Carey Mulligan and Jessica Hynes). Plus the Jones family were never developed in the same way Rose’s mother Jackie or Wilfred were. I was glad to see Adjoa Anjoh get *something* to work with on Bridgerton because RTD made Francine look like an idiot. Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s career has been going gangbusters. I’d love to see her and Freema work together again.
