  1. That's actually a pretty good choice for something so different. We KNEW they weren't going to cast a grandpa under any circumstances. That's what a lot of 50+ year olds look nowadays and it'll be less creepy that he is with such a young woman. He's also still good looking, so maybe they'll be tempted not to throw him aside completely for the 15 year olds.

    On this sunny but very windy Thursday, March 02, 2017, some hotness is bringing you flowers!

    It's a rainy Wednesday, March 01, 2017, but the hotness continues!
  4. Kay Alden wrote such wonderful, organic comedy for Kay, Jill, and Esther. A lot of the moments were laugh-out-loud.

    Oh, what a lovely Tuesday, February 28, 2017 it is! Well! Are they hired based on how much they look like porn actors?!

    It's a chilly but sunny Monday, February 27, 2017! Enjoy your week! Thank you boo!
  7. Nicole Simpson was such a TRASH character with a TRASH story, it's impossible to tell if she could have done Fallon justice IF the writing was good. Nobody said that. The consensus is that the writing for Fallon, for the most part, was bad. It was a whole different character.
  8. She was no complex character, I'll give you that, but if you asked me to describe ES' Fallon it'd be terribly easy: an eternal victim, weak kind of woman, who managed to occasionally stand up for herself but mostly whined about everything as she allowed men to use her as a trophy. She was written specifically and with purpose. You ask me to describe Bliss and I'm just like ... um, she was the youngest? A daddy's girl? Dumb? Not sure.

    It's a beautiful Saturday, February 25, 2017, and a big amount of Hotness is required!
  10. Ian McShane to some GOT fans: "Get a fυcking life!"
  11. There was only one woman on THE COLBYS that could potentially be described as generic, and that's Bliss. Melania is Bliss.

    And it's another Spring-ish Friday, February 24, 2017! Enjoy the approaching weekend! xo
  13. Rebecca Budig was in a position to be turning the #1 soap down? Lord have mercy! What's next? Alicia Minshew was too good for Victoria?

    It's a moody kind of Thursday, February 23, 2017, but we soldier on to the end of the week!

    Unfortunately, whoever posted it didn't put the man's name!
  16. Alexis doesn't even seem to be in it (if ever). What hope does the 'first black bitch' have?
  17. @Vee Is this preview accurate based on the script you have? (thanks @dragonflies) http://season-zero.com/author/lulla/

    This beautiful Wednesday, February 22, 2017 just got a lot hotter....

    It may be Tuesday, February 21, 2017, but it feels like Spring out there lately!
  20. I was checking out Wikipedia for the show and found a lot of errors. I mean, we all know that happens often, but they are off on premiere dates, exits, etc by sometimes several days. But I never noticed they 'made up' an entire family member lmao
  21. It really was the perfect combination of an actress at the top of her game with really great material. 1998 til Tom's exit provided her with (mostly) wonderful stuff to play. 1998 in particular is full of classic Victoria moments but the other years didn't lack at all. I don't really think the Carl story was hurt by the fact that it ended. I suppose some fans wanted to see Carl regain his memories and return to Paul and Mary (after which they likely would not have done much with them -- there was a lot happening on the show at the time). The lack of a happy ending made the whole thing so much sadder and real for me. Besides, they arrived to that ending over a period of several months -- anyone watching could tell it would not be a miraculous, last-minute reunion. And the whole thing was simply worth it for the performances by DD and CC. That being said, I do think an occasional return/visit from Carl would have been good. That sounds like SC's voice to me too but it wasn't Sharon. If I recall correctly, Sharon has yet to learn Alice is about to come back into their lives.
  22. Thanks, Carl! The ending scene is one of my favorite Victoria moments -- and definitely one of the most heartbreaking of the series.
  23. I agree with what you've said re: the usefulness of a reboot, but the show's first season was excellent -- still some of the best primetime soap ever done, and a serious competition to some of cable's best shows currently. After all, the show did do decently enough in the ratings to get a second season renewal (along with whatever magic Spelling worked). That being said, it wasn't buzzworthy and the changes made for Season 2 really did benefit it in popularity. It's only after Season 3 that the writing plummeted to the depths of hell.
  24. I was coming in to say that! So glad that TRASH was canceled! Now if only Wales2004 would cancel their own trash too!
  25. That's the 80s DYNASTY. The Colbys were WASPs. Not anymore. Not in this version. Have you read the article(s) regarding the Jeff casting? Blake and Jeff are rivals. I doubt he wants Jeff around Fallon. In fact, as already revealed to us, Fallon may use Jeff as revenge against her father. Therefore, what I said -- that the Colbys being black doesn't hinder a feud -- stands. Does it alter the original structure and history? Sure. But I think it's pretty obvious this is an all-out remake.
