I think it's fun watching kids be friends...one of the most enjoyable periods for me on GL was the mid-90's when Bill, Michelle and Ben were friends. And I think it's fun to see connections being made between Parker and Faith, so maybe one day they can be "something", and won't talk about fake memories we never saw. And I think it's good to be seeing the consequences of their parents' actions affecting the kids, instead of just ignoring it and saying the kids are "fine".

*sigh* Now I'm so wishin' B&B would explore Bridget and CJ.

Y'know what's weird? Paul and Parker share a brother and a sister, and they don't mention it. They're like brothers themselves.

The Snyders are my favorite part of the show at the moment.

I'm a bit peeved that they're obviously setting Lily up to be scammed---again. Didn't she learn her lesson with the psychic after Rose's death? :rolleyes:

I hope Adam is alive, and a Dr. Kinder-esque (AMC) story happens.

Jack and Holden overreacted to the kids being with Paul. From yesterday's previews I thought he was molesting them or something. :blink:

Parker and Faith are hilarious! I love those two. Faith is one of my favorite characters (seriously.) That girl cracks me up. :lol:

Umm...what happened to Paul? Why the hell is he just hanging around in a cabin all the damn time? The funny thing, though, is that I actually like Paul when he talks to Parker and Faith. At least he's somewhat entertaining and humorous.

Gwen is really annoying (I hate this pity act.) Poor Casey is going to jail? :( Why is it that the writers can't just write characters off (except Mike)? They're either killed off, sent to jail, or escaping from jail. :rolleyes:

So is Adam really dead?? I'm thinking that that might just be a glove, and not a hand, and that maybe Adam got out (they didn't seem to dig too far.)

Parker and Faith are children for grown people to want to see children having a romance is crazy. These are two children that have crazy mothers. I must add that both fathers have contributed to their mother behavior.

Both of them falling in love with same woman. Jack left Carly and did wanted her back when someone else wanted her. The big fess they made about Holden and this woman who was only teaching him dancing was really dumb.

That's the reason why I think Parker and Faith are enjoyable. People complain b/c of the why they treat their parents and I agree that they are very rude. But a part of me thinks that they all deserve it. Kids are reflections of their parents.

Both Parker and Faith have mothers who are absolutely self-absorbed who are always breaking up and cheating on their fathers, so it makes sense that they're kids are not little angels. IMO, both Lily and Carly (if she were here) deserve the rude remarks that their kids give them, especially Carly. How else should a kid react when his mom just ditches him for her boyfriend? That kid has every right to act so emo. And Lily is just selfish, and basically she's the reason why Faith has any sort of ED in the first place.

I think seeing a harmless preteenage crush is fun. It's not our fault the writers have decided that the true teenage characters can't have a story besides siring children, losing them, returning home after a stint in the psych ward for accidently killing someone and being raped by one's brother in law. (And it's not only our show that treats teens like adults either.)

But then again...I've always secretly been waiting for the day Faith snapped, developed another personality and started calling herself Melinda.

Wow, that makes me realize, just like Parker is kind of related to Paul, she is kind of related to Paul too, since she was raised by David Stenbeck for a year, even though she probably doesn't know it! I could see the show so raising that again now with Faith hating Lily. Faith might wish she had stayed with David/Reid if she ever finds out about that, assuming she doesn't know. That may even have been an idea you posted once before, P.J.

This supports winterguy's idea that there is something Stenbeck-related to why Parker and Faith are having these scenes with Paul and keep bringing up James. (But it is also just good writing for James to be brought up in these scenes, because Parker and Faith are complaining about their parents, so Paul would talk about his parents too. I don't remember him saying much about Barbara to them yet though.)

Sigh...I wish I thought there was truly something with James in the works. But Hogan practically ruined James. What would be cool is if David was still alive....they could easily explain that Reid was some psycho that assumed David's identity, at James' behest. Part of the problem with Paul (for me) is that he doesn't have someone to "battle". Yeah, I know it's supposed to be Craig...but somehow it just misfires. It's not compelling to watch them battle for Meg's soul.

It's wierd to know that Parker is sort of Paul's step-brother, and is/was his uncle, AND would have been Faith's uncle twice through marriage to two of her aunts.

    • @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.
