Not to bad of a show again today....

So far I have liked most everything about it.

The best parts are Viki/Clint/Dorian/Lois, Asa/Bo/Matthew/Nigel, and Marcie/Carlotta. The rest is ok. But both yesterday, as well as today, Nash just crackes me up. I wish he would just smack the hell out of Jessica to shut her up and stop her whining though. LOL No comment on the Antonio/Claudia thing, though.

Also, here is the order of version two of the updated opening. I actually got this one caught on tape....LOL

John

Natalie

Vincent

Cristian

Evangeline

Nora

Lindsey

Bo

Paige

Marcie/Michael couple shot

Rex

Adriana

Layla

Nash

Jessica

Asa

Dorian

Viki

Interesting that Lindsey is still in the opening, but that R.J. is not. Makes one wonder if CH is back on contract.

I am all for Viki giving Dorian a complete and utter smackdown, because she is such a [!@#$%^&*] and so selfish, everything must be about her, blech. Enough already, we get it. Clint is having too much fun in this though, at least Viki is being sensitive about it all, and smart, but she and Clint need to really sit down and talk.

The poker game was fun. And I am really sad that RJ is out, that just sucks. He was one of my favorites on the show, and now they dump him, that just sucks. :angry:

Totally loved the first scenes between Viki and Clint, it was so much more than I thought we'd get as far as them trying to talk about what was happening between them, but then of course, Dorian had to ruin the moment. As much as I like seeing Viki and Dorian go at it, its kind of getting tiring because I'm so ready for this story to kick in, because I'm very curious to see how it all plays out. It was so there today, that C/V have deep feelings for each other and its not just 'friendship' either. I just want them to have uninterrupted time to talk things over, and to see where they go from here.

As much as I like Jess and Nash, its hard to watch them in this cave in, all they are doing is bickering back and forth, and that is something I can so do without.

Loved seeing the Buchanan men playing the card game, though I don't like that they had to use Asa and Matthew in this Dorian thing, and I hope to God that Asa doesn't apologize to her. I love watching Asa give Dorian a hard time.

Enjoyed seeing Carlotta again.

Well, ES has been in each opening for years. I think it is great that she will be celebrating her 36th anniversary with the show on March 17th.

As for RW, he has been with the show for a long time. That may have something to do with it....but then again other long time vets like RS, HBS, and PC are only in one opening.

And as for KB and NM....they went from two shots in one opening (including the couple shot), to one shot in each opening....I can't complain much about this one however, because I love Marcie and Michael....and it's not like they're on everyday anyway.

I thought JPL was in one opening, but MG was in two? I could be wrong, because I didn't manage to get yesterday's opening on tape, and I just going on memory.

As for the others you mentioned (ME, MA, DF and BW), your guess is as good as mine on that one.

JPL is in both openings. In Version A, he has one shot. In Version B, he has two.

MG is only in one opening.

I will never understand why ME and MA are felt to be important enough to be in two openings! At least Kamar has been reduced to one opening.

I still don't believe KB and NM need to be in both openings but w/e.

I love that RW gets to be in both openings. One w/ one shot and one w/ two. That's cool.

One thing I did notice though, Michael Easton's new shots make him look old as hell. And he looks like a damn dog, but that's another story.

They either need to find a way to transition RW in between HBS and CH or change the way CH's shot goes into RW's. Before, HBS would morph from CH's shot, now it looks weird.

Well, if RW can be in both openings, than so should some of the other vets as well.

And you're right about ME. He is looking uglier than usual in those new shots, if that's possible. LOL He looks like something I ran over with my car.

Sad that it looks like Timothy Stickney(RJ) is gone. I hope not. I wish they would put Ilene Kristen(Roxy) back in the opening and on contract. I think it looks good that Cat Hickland will get a new contract. I also think ONE LIFE should honor Pat Elliott(Renée) and Patricia Mauceri(Carlotta)'s years on the show, give them both a contract and add them back to the opening as well. Would be better than having some people in both openings that shouldn't be, like Marcie & Michael, Rex & Natalie & John. I think Robin Strasser should be in both, as well as Phil Carey, Patricia Elliott, Bob Woods & Hillary B. Smith.

Don't you mean John instead of Michael? You have him listed twice. BTW, don't you think Michael Easton's new mug shots look like he just woke up from a hangover? LOL

You make a good point about Patricia Elliott and Patricia Mauceri's years of service on the show. They should do the same for Peter Bartlett, and his 16 years of portaying Nigel.

And dang, with all these recurring characters making appearances these days I have only one question to ask. Where the HELL is Michael Storm and Dr. Larry Woleck?!? He could really be used in all these hospital scenes. We have 3 characters in the hospital right now (Blair, Spencer, and John), and we could use Larry there to help them.

But look at this, we are starting to see more of Carlotta, Nigel, Lois, Roxy, R.J., Lindsey, Addie, Jack, Matthew and Renee. Certainly eems like something is up behind the scenes.

That's partly I think because they are one of the few married couples on the show. The only others are Asa and Renee, and now Jessica and Antonio.

I don't understand why they are in both opening either....but I'm just glad they kept the couple shot and brought back NM's individual shot to go along with KB's. But I love them both, so I don't question it too much.

Plus I look at it this way, the two of them being in both openings, just takes those spots away from true airhogs like Evangeline and Adriana.

You're right Scotty, I did mean John instead of Michael. And you're right, Michael Easton sured does look like he just woke up from a hangover, probably did, lmao.

I agree that Peter Barlett(Nigel) should be added to the opening as well and given a contract. I do wish that Michael Storm would be brought back as Larry and put on contract. I think Larry & Paige might make a good couple, plus Dan Wolek could return. Dan would make a good love interest for a returned Cassie or Rachel.

    • @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.
