Well, since we were offline most of the day Thursday I noticed no one opened up a thread on Thursday's GL, which may have been one of the best in years.

Justin Deas was his usual best. I knew he was going to go over and give Alan a dressing down.

Someone give Tina Sloan more to do as Lillian. She took simple scenes with Lizzie yesterday and made them sparkle.

And Kim and Tom? That final scene was gut-wrenching.

Here's your Emmy reel, GL. Submit it and make the most of it.

Yesterday was good.I have been a critic of my second best show but I have to admit that the show seems to be getting better for me.

I love Tina Sloan.I wish they'd use her more. I'd like to see scenes with Lillian and Alexandria since they are supposed to be buddies.

Did I miss Beth yesterday? Did they explain where she was? I kept thinking that maybe some of those scenes with Lizzie were written for Beth and maybe she wasn't availiable.

I loved the Liliian -Lizzie scenes but Beth should have been there for her daughter.

Overall the show was goiod.Justin Deas is such an over-the -top actor and I love it.

Great show. I loved Jonathan and Reva's scenes. I only cringed once or twice. Most of it was toned down just the right amount. It felt like Kim was saying goodbye to Tom, but also like Reva and Jonathan were saying goodbye. It was good that they gave the audience that info that Jonathan had indeed faked their deaths.

Buzz going to Alan...I like Buzz, and I like Justin Deas, I just don't understand why he would be the one to try to talk some sense into Alan. Maybe that's why he's the best choice.

I didn't really feel Lizzie and Alan's loss. It felt like they've already moved on and I didn't see emotion from them. I was expecting Lizzie to never set foot in Alan's home again.

I really thought Jonathan and Sarah died when they didn't show him until 20 minutes into the show. Pheww...part of me wishes that they had ended it there but Jonathan did come to town for Reva and for her to be the last person he says goodbye to was fitting.

Justin Deas was over-the-top in that scene but I still enjoyed his performance. It's amazing how Alan still thinks that Jonathan's to blame for everything that's happened.

Marcy Rylan has a tendency to go really over-the-top but she really toned down the hysterics yesterday and pulled a subtle performance. Bravo. Lizzie questioning why she was still alive when Tammy, Jonathan, and Sarah were all dead was moving. I loved that Lillian was there...she seems to be the only one who brings out the 'human' Lizzie.

Alan and Buzz have a very sordid history together, so I loved how Buzz gave his two cents on the matter. It was very classic GL to me to have that confrontation.

The final scenes between Jonathan and Reva were achingly good. Although I must admit I thought Reva was in on the act the whole time because her scenes at the police station were less emotional and affected than I would've expected Reva to be. But she made up for it in the second half of the show.

I loved Lizzie's comment, too, where she wondered why she was the only person left alive. "Perhaps that's my punishment?" Good stuff.

Off-topic from today's events... we haven't seen Company in awhile. Wanna bet the next time we see it it'll be completely remodeled, just as The Towers was redone overnight? Just an observation.

NF was fantastic again today! Now that Stephanie Gatschet's gone, she's my favourite actress on the show. I loved seeing Cassie slap Alan when he tried blaming Jonathan for Tammy's death. :o I wasn't expecting that at all! Cassie spazzing out at Josh about the Jeva kiss and telling him not to stay with her (Cassie) out of pity was a great scene as well.

Next to NF, Ricky Paull Goldin also put in a good performance with the Gus/Alan scenes. I often forget that those two are related and it was great to see how Gus really feels about his father. Often, we only see what Lizzie and less often, what Alan-Michael thinks of Alan.

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • 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.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
