I cant believe Michelle threw office supplies at my girl Lexie! LOL..okay I understand and I would be pissed too but Lexie is my favorite and I hate that she's turned into the office pariah. I wish she wouldnt have let Maria control her the way she did. It was funny though watching Michelle flip out.

I saw promos for the wedding and it looks good. Cant wait.

Ugh! Bc of baseball, MyN wont be airing the shows tomorrow. Instead they will air them on Thursday at 6PM! I cant do 4 hours in 1 night. This will push me behind schedule and I just might skip over the episodes since they spend about 20 minutes worth of flashbacks in the episodes

I watch the MNTV shows off Toronto based SunTV. They air the shows from 4p-6p in the afternoon, and air Fashion House first. Smart. No agressive ads in the left corner, and its the only one I can see the show's in good picture quality. (the digital cable channel video is horrible, and then there's MY43 from Clevland which crops the episodes full screen!)

I wish the MyNetworkTV were smart enough to have moved FH. Only the FH purists will want to watch tomorrow's show(which looks like it will be REALLY good). It won't stand a chance against GREY'S or CSI.

And I don't think the "watch everyday" ads are THAT agressive. It could be a lot worse. They could have done the SOAPnet strategy with lots of picture-in-picture advertising, flashing graphics with loud annoying sounds, etc.

The Clevalnd affiliate crops the picture fullscreen, meaning no black bars?! UGH. I bet that looks sick.

My affiliate is really pushing the Morgan Fairchild arrival. On Monday, they are going to reair Friday's episode in place of "Desire" and then show the new episode. So "Desire" will fall a day behind and unfortunately I think I saw on some cable guide ANOTHER mid-week highlight show at the end of October so maybe my affiliate will drop that and play catch up then, but then the clip shows will be still showing material that hasn't aired yet so I don't know. Weird.

Well, at least your affiliate is gun-ho about Morgan Fairchild's arrival to FASHION HOUSE.

I hope MyNetworkTV understand they screwed up BIGTIME with the scheduling of these two shows and learn from their mistakes. FH, the far interesting of the two novelas, is victim to ABC's GREY'S every Thursday Night. And that sucks for tonight, since this is Sophia's big arrival. And we both know that no one watches TV on Friday after 9PM.

NewsCorp/MyNetworkTV really need to really look at the first week's episodes for WATCH OVER ME and ART OF BETRAYAL and choose the better show to lead the night off. MyNetworkTV won't crack the Top 20, but if they can air the stronger novela at 8PM and the weaker one at 9PM, that might help the network fare better.

It really pisses me off that NewsCorp decided that DESIRE would be the better choice to lead off the night. Obviously, they have no clue how to market these shows.

ETA: My affiliate is also doing this as well. I wonder if Friday will be a DESIRE double-header or if they plan on just running FASHION HOUSE's regular schedule and then doing a rerun on Monday? After all, MyNetworkTV promises no repeats! I hope this leads to a timeslot change for the show!

I think thats everywhere bc I just saw a promo for it over here. I dont think Desire is falling behind at all.

Did you guys see Fashion House today? Wow, the end was absolutely amazing. Had me on the edge of my seat. Im loving this wedding. When William said no he wouldnt marry Maria and Morgan Fairchild in her red getup busting out laughing was priceless. She had me ROTFL. Cant wait for Saturday. They keep showing a promo of her rivalry with Maria and she says "Well if it isnt the whore that put the whore back in horrible" LMAO

Im thinking that William might be the son of Morgan Fairchild's character. He beleive he said he loved her but I dont think they are lovers. I think Maria might have done something to his father which is why he's been out to destroy her.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
