Oh, did I ever, Danny. Wow. Okay, onto the nonaesthetic comments before I go crazy...

Great, action-packed show today. And best of all? No Chelsea/Nick/Max/Abby. We needed a successful break from them, IMO.

Shawn and Belle. Sigh. Their scenes today were very good. The elephant in the middle of the...beach that neither of them would talk about was finally addressed. They had it out, and now things are better. Honesty is such a concept.

Steve is nuts. Nichols is the most incredible actor in the world, LOL. Okay, I'm biased, but I've never seen him take it too far. Ok, maybe biting Bo was a little extreme (and scared the palooza out of me), but still. He's always portrayed to a T, without going overboard, exactly what Steve's going through. And I love it. I wonder if he'll start calling himself Patch again, as he gets deeper and deeper into his old habits, and this new insanity. Could we be getting the falling in love all over again story after all?

HOPE! I've missed her. Her scenes with Willow today were superb. Annie's growing on me in a very natural way suddenly (shuddup, DrewH :P). Today I could actually say Willow did not annoy me in the slightest. It seems she's starting to fit in. Who would have guessed (besides DrewH)? I still think Jed is positively useless, though I don't mind him with a brief interlude preceding MABBY. I did absolutely love seeing Hope play the bitch!card in a realistic situation. Kristian was phenomenal today. This part of her personality always seems to go missing until it's useful. Yay for Horton fire!

Basically, Willow never came across as a character before. She's been written as a caricarture. But today, she was written and portrayed as if she was actually part of the canvas, not a plot point. That made all the difference in the world, IMO.

Drew, you don't seem to be taking into account that people's opinions of the actress months ago are still valid. You "saw what no one else saw" back then (vomit); I say I like someone when they're good, not because of "potential." I do like Willow much, much more now, but I really didn't way back when. And your I-was-right-and-I'll-mention-it-every-moment-I-get attitude makes me want to hide it. No one like to be told they were "wrong," especially when they're not. You make being a Willow fan very hard.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

And no, I'm not being too sensitive.

So for the record: I'm not joining you. I have my own, different, unique Willow-love that isn't dirty and premature like yours. I've seen your love and it's ugly and unlike my own. So leave me out of your club. I ain't joinin' nuthin'!

Andre, just go cry or something. I don't have time for your comments...

Anywho, who else here loves the Hope/Willow scenes? Kristian Alfonso and Annie Burgstede definitely have that mother and baby's mother drama chemistry. You can tell Hope hates Willow's guts, but her grandchild is inside of the woman she hates and she has to feel some love for her. I love it! Real family drama in Salem? Get out of here!

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
