Not that I need to explain myself, but I am re-organizing the primetime forums because there's too much disorganization and it is hard to find a thread about any specific show, and there are duplicates in certain parts. The hope is to get things organized similar to how the Discuss the Soaps: Cancelled Soaps forum is organized.

Yes, this franchise airs on Bravo, which is an NBC | Peacock property. To help people find the thread in case they start worrying, I have implemented an informed re-direct for 30 days which is more than enough time to get people to find the thread within its proper home. 

Starting on Monday, January 1, there will be a link available listing all shows and the discussion threads attributed to them to better provide visitors with the ability to discuss anything about said show with people who also watch it as well. This will cut back on clutter and allow proper continuity for commentary.

Thanks

Why do they keep bringing Tripp back And wow they ran out of things for he and Wendy pretty immediately. Off to China then.

I swear this show is constantly writing out people.

Why was this topic moved from the main Primetime forum? It airs on Bravo even if NBC Universal owns the network. Peacock gets the replays. @Toups @Errol????

Yup. Ava vs. Faith would've been amazing, and then with the [brief] re-introduction of Olivia Jerome. Whew. Female domination.

I honestly would’ve also liked to have seen how Claudia and Faith interacted. They had similar trajectories except Faith never fell for Sonny.

I’m probably in the minority but I’m enjoying Steve Burton so much more on Days than on GH. It’s not like Harris has tons of personality but there’s still a hell of a lot more than Jason Morgan. And honestly after seeing him on GH with the same people for so long, it’s nice to see him with some new actors; I don’t even mind the pairing with Ava, as it’s been so long since they were Carly and Jason together.

Justice for Faith Roscoe, who should have been a more formidable foe to Sonny on GH:

 

Faith was my favorite during the time she was on GH. Naturally she had to lose and die.

Just finished the Horton Christmas episode. I know we have so few Hortons left on canvas but I still love this episode every year. And wow the flashbacks we got this year were amazing!! I had never seen Doug’s first Horton Christmas, or the Christmas with Tom in the hospital. Wonderful episode.

Loved ending with Doug and Julie. Bill Hayes made me tear up right along with them.

Really enjoyed today’s episode. For a second I thought Nikki had killed yet another person

Shocking news. Hadn’t thought of him in so long but definitely didn’t  think the next time would be his death at such a young age.

Ironically, I had completely forgotten why Stephanie and Alex broke up until I was reminded about the phone thing.  Meanwhile, that was like their second date.  It makes Chad's jealousy seem more like an excuse to not commit to the relationship.

If the actor who portrayed Colin passed by me on the street, I wouldn't be able to recall him at all.

The list serves as evidence of the multitude of storylines that unfold in DAYS within a year. Whether for better or worse, one can hardly accuse the show of being stagnant, as it consistently experiences a whirlwind of events.

I was actually shocked when I realized all of this happened this year.

Curious to see how this is handled. Haven’t watched GH in years. I sssume next week is a good time to jump back in.

This past Sunday was even more delightful for me than last week’s. They really invited Quad on the trip to tell her to go home

FYI Dru fell off a cliff into water below, one of Adam’s exes is the one who fell into the volcano.

Thank you!  That's more or less what I thought.  The thing is with a Melanie pairing he would have always had some story even if he was on the backburner for a bit.  Perhaps Hapka thought the jobs would roll in a just miscalculated.  I doesn't seem like an insurmountable difference to work out especially when the regime changed and they could have brought Nathan back, but I guess the character was just dropped instead.

AK's Stephanie just lacks depth in general.  She is practically perfect in every way without nuance and has numerous men fighting for her attention.  It's just a very simplistic view of the character and it makes Stephanie boring.

IIrc, he claimed he went to Higley requesting meatier material (which is why Nathan & Melanie got the virus storyline) but then they decided to part ways because she told him he'd be backburner for a while and then he left.  He came off super salty.  However, this alleged mutual split happened at exactly the same time Jay Johnson & Shelley Hennig very abruptly left . . . so the show likely decided to cut their losses, leaving Melanie left as the lone survivor from that rectangle because Higley and Tomlin were obsessed with Molly Burnett.

I thought Mark Hapka was great and this rectangle was the best story on the show at the time.  Losing these three within weeks of each other (when they were midway through huge story) was profoundly disappointing.  The show pivoted creatively quite a bit during the first quarter of 2011 into abysmal disaster, leading to Higley and Tomlin getting fired.

I think AK is a very natural and charismatic actress and I don't mind her as Stephanie at all . . . but recalling this story makes me miss SH's unexpectedly messy, manipulative, deeply insecure Steph SOOO much . . . this version is remarkably unremarkable and divorced of everything that made her a hit as a surprise schemer.

AK’s Stephanie is just so…there. Nice and there. I don’t see any of SH’s Stephanie. Like I could never even see this version of Stephanie with Phillip. Well at least JKJ’s Phillip.

Noah was moping around wearing black for absolutely nothing. 

Tbf that actor that played Noah literally knew one emotion, man pain. When he and nuChance were on at the same time it was like having all joy sucked out of you.

I did it... and it reminded me why I enjoyed the reboot much more. Kristen is the standout for me, though.

Interesting, felt the total opposite except for Kristen which I agree. Honestly the ladies aren’t even falling over black out drunk like everyone says is all they used to do and that is working for me. Even Dorinda whom I was reminded why I hate her in episode 1, wasn’t so bad by 2 and 3.

Are you all talking about Audra's backstory with Noah back when I was hoping for an Allie/Noah/Audra triangle since she's the one who broke his heart in London with him coming back depressed? 

That’s the one. That was such a non starter.

Has she not done anything since 90210? I feel like there was a period where she was in everything.

I did! The first two episodes.

It is so, so good. So funny. A great mix and the casting of RHONY Legacy ladies was perfect.

10/10 - if anyone is missing out on it, give it a chance.

It was just amazing to me how much better it was than the entirety of the reboot and we haven’t even gotten the full season yet. While Kristen was seen as random casting at first, I think through the first three episodes she’s more than earned her spot.

Thanks for filling me in, as I missed any interactions they had. 

They apparently lost a child together when they were a couple off canvas if I’m remembering correctly. It was when they wanted to humanize Audra a little bit after she first came on.

Oh, I agree, I thought I would lead with saying something positive. I gave up on B&B years ago, an I was never a faithful viewer of the two other remaining soaps, tbh). 
Most of the drama seems to be left out of the show entirely now. Once upon a time, seeing a character wrestle with these issues was what kept us tuned in, I mean, even to hear an inner voice exclaiming how much of a rush it is, while another somber voice warning how destruction is usually just on the horizon once this adrenaline rush appears. I mean, it doesn’t have to be more than a few scenes scattered over a few episodes, they could have sandwiched it in when Billy is having yet another meeting with Chelsea at the coffeehouse, his thoughts could drift, while Chelsea yammers on about some work project. I remember when soaps used to do this, sure, movies like Airplane! took up the device and used it for comedic effect but they did it because it’s an effective device to express a character’s feelings about something.

These shows could have a lot of life in the right hands but these guys are tanking these shows’ prospects.

On a separate note, is Audra’s weakness young scions from prominent families? Will she have any interaction with Noah when he visits? It would be interesting if somehow Noah were still able to summon some deeper feeling. I think they’re trying to do that with Audra’s conflicting feelings about Kyle but it’s too mixed in with the scheming and double-dealing with Tucker. Noah would be a true litmus test as to whether Audra is more than a superficial person, whether there is any depth.

Audra and Noah are exes but their interactions were still pretty minimal before he was written off with Allie.

Did no one else watch Girls Trip NY Legacy
