I know, I'm from Europe lol I just don't like when content is reedited. Play it as it was intended!

Turning on CC does a decent job of helping one follow it! I will never understand why they edited the credits to play at the start of the episode though. Why fiddle with it like that?

Up to episode 18 of Season 13, where apparently Paige is now paralyzed. I had no idea that would happen! Not sure about seeing her like this, though. I guess it depends how they handle it. The switch from Romano to Marcus episodes was so noticeable I didn't even have to look at the credits to confirm. Suddenly, there was much more energy and sense of direction. I didn't hate the first 2/3 of Season 13 but it did become glacially paced and eventually you'd come out of an episode feeling like nothing had happened (even if it had), which clearly was very dangerous. I mean, Jason was "leaving for Sweden" for about 39 episodes. I am intrigued by the very sexy Alex Barth but very confused as well, as they kept zigzagging with how they portray him and I couldn't tell if I was supposed to be turned on by his near-evil treatment of Claudia (but, hey, if anyone deserves it, it's her). I think eventually they settled for opportunist and it works. A real shame they wrote Jason off. Jason and Alex around would be great for the hunky young guy portion of the show. Vanessa Hunt is intriguing too, if a tad annoying. I hope they go somewhere good with this. I LOVE Val writing Greg's biography. Decent drama. Val has been quite well served this season, even if that Lynette story went absolutely nowhere. Sad to see the ranch go but nice that Gary and Val are back on the cul-de-sac. To my surprise, I quite like Pierce now that he's gone full psycho. That scene where Marcia Cross had him fck her in order to give him info on Greg was wonderfully twisted. Interested to see where this goes.

Why is this so true??? 😂😂😂

OF COURSE you should halt funding to the World Health Organization during a pandemic. This evil man will kill us all.

I'm still resisting TikTok but this is quite fun. Just how did they do the voices?!

OMG! That was a wonderful treat. Yet another reminder of the power of Y&R's classic music and it's awful, heartbreaking absence from today's shows. God how I wish they'd release all these cues.

Holly hell! Faves from last week!

Even when soaps are at their lowest, they are still capable of finding a way to provide comfort during hard times like these.

LMAO! Madonna still inciting controversy, I see!

Yes, INDEED. Except those silly hats 😂😂

That's great. Hopefully they'll work their way back even more when done with Season 18!

Heard back from the website. They're working on it; I think it was cute how they used medical terminology. Hopefully it'll be up and running soon.

Wonderful!

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!

I'm having the same issue. Clearly some kinks to work through yet.

You can start watching episodes now! I guess the Feb. 27th date is for all the interactive stuff. How thrilling to have a soap streaming like this and 2.99 a month is very reasonable!

I'm really excited to listen to Black Diamond (great title). Hope it's a good album. She said it'll be out before her tour ends, so it seems sometime between now and August!

That music really was phenomenal. And the suit/look looks promising.

There's been occasional discussion of this. It's generally considered a nice touch on Bell's part indicating several things such as the complex social status of the characters, their social bubbles/friends, and a general feeling of a large town with a community that doesn't constantly interact. Plus, it was really special when there was cross-over. I think what the show "lacked" in character interactions it more than made up with in a sense of place, setting, social structure, and largeness of the fictional Genoa City.

So exciting!

Apparently, they cut a DYNASTY Dominique/Alexis spoof:

I thought I was the only one who watched a show on a weekly basis with breaks between seasons! I am doing that for the big 80s soaps (well, DALLAS, DYNASTY, and KNOTS LANDING and to a lesser extent, FALCON CREST) and with BH 90210 and MP, although 7 seasons of MP have taken me longer than 7 years due to some of the lows. I wanted to recreate the experience and make them last. I agree the shows stay with you for so long and that's why I've stalled with the last few episodes of Season 7. I don't want it to end. I've been watching KL for 13 years... I can't even imagine what it'd be like to not have any new episodes left! Loving your write-ups. I've been wanting to go back to early MP to rediscover it and this doesn't help!

So far have binged Seasons 4 to 6 of DALLAS during a bingewatch. Let's see how long it lasts. Oh my Gosh, I could cry for you. What a journey you are going on!
