I was sorta gobsmacked at how flat that reveal was.

@ToupsI’d be curious to see The Talk’s ratings next week, just to see if the Sharon controversy actually sparked a ratings bump.

Charlie’s murder feels like a dropped story at this point. Almost doesn’t make sense to move forward with it. Who cares?

One thing that sucks: characters don’t have individual voices, with very few exceptions. Ashland’s dialogue could have easily come from Jack. Very formal, generic businessman. Don’t love the styling for Richard Burgi either.

The Thiem-RBA match looked crazy good.

Wow, Basilashvili beat Fed. Feels like these guys wanted to pounce. Glad they didn’t simply get intimidated by the “aura” as they did when he returned rusty early in 2017.

Totally get it. It’s very cool to get a range of different reactions. It was a risky performance.

Missed the beginning, but has Tara (Ashland’s wife/Kyle’s babymama) been crying, or does she have an eyeshadow problem? Characters (whose performers aren’t involved IRL) not being able to kiss is a REAL problem for this show.

I was bawling during that scene. It reminded me of a friend’s similar reaction to learning his dad died IRL when I was young. Very raw. But YMMV. Agree that RH was great.

I don’t think she’s nearly as distinctive and characterful as ORK, but I sorta don’t mind NuClaire. She doesn’t rise above the material, but she also doesn’t detract from it IMO. Not great when the material is lacking, though LOL.

I could not disagree more re: William Lipton. It was an ugly cry, yes, but it was absolutely rooted in the emotion of the scene. It felt fully credible as a teenager responding to a terrible loss. Whereas what Wes Ramsey did the other day was... jarring. But that’s why these things are subjective, of course.

They really fùcked up by letting Roger say he was staying on the show. I suppose they were scared his fans would go apesh!t. If they do indeed go there, I’m curious if they’d do a Dante/Sam/Drew/Liz thing then. Sam is still so broken up about Drew’s death.

Gross. And they’d put him with Sam?

Soaps have gotten way more conservative in so many different ways. I guess their audience is so old nowadays, but those very people were watching when things were racier.
