AnotherWorld Week 5/19

I LOVED todays Another World. Jake and Paulina really brought it home and FINALLY helped bring some movement to this who shot jake storyline. Am I the only one out there that was wondering how Judi Evans would have been in these scenes today and in this storyline? With that said....I did like Cali today.

I suprised that no one has mentioned the original Iris versus the nuIris - while talking about recasts. I found it next to impossible to get used to nuIris....but I did. It's so hard to compare because Beverlee McKinsey was AMAZING....and she had the perfect writer in Harding Lemay. NuIris had to deal with less than stellar writing for her character IMO, and the untimely death of Doug Watson (Mac). However, Carmen Duncan really made it come together...and I loved her Iris in the build up scenes in the who shot Jake storyline. Carmen was strong, vibrant and brought Iris out of the mansion and into the workforce and gave her some style. I loved both Iris's....however, given that Carmen had sooooooooooo much going against her....I give her the nod...she's my favorite because she made it so fun to watch Iris....

Now...don't get me started on the CRAZY and stupid way they wrote this major historical figure on the show out of the show! And that was BEFORE Jill Phelps even got there. However, I'm looking forward to enjoying Donna Swajeski's next couple of seasons and looking forward to Jensen Buchanan. Anne Heche was brilliant...however, I enjoyed seeing Jensen grow and settle into the role of vicky...Never liked her as Marley. I feel she brought the best of Vicky and Marley and molded them into one character.

Good show....Love it. Nothing...I mean Nothing like it on the air currently. However, I wonder if Another World was allowed to continue on...would it have been as good today? I think not...It's last couple of years it was on life support....and I think with the networks obsession with youth demographics...our show would have been destroyed just like most of today's current soaps....

Judi can make anything work. I know I didn't think that when I heard she was taking over the role of Paulina, but I soon came to realize the truth of the matter.

I liked Cali all the way through her run as Paulina, but now, I can barely remember why.

Great shows this week...loved Tayolr and that creepy caraousel music. Really looking forward to Jensen's portrayal of Vicky coming up soon...Judi's Paulina, and the arrival of Lorna. The show has just been so great...good acting, producing, music, lighting etc. along with great writing....just wish we had more Iris.

    • Are these new?! Damn, he is in the prime of his life. 
    • He is a 40 year old large grown man "raising his voice" and calling a teenage girl "careless".  That's inappropriate.  I am not going to argue at the octave of his voice although I would consider it yelling.  Felicity was visibly upset.  She also has special needs, but it would be wrong to do that to anyone in general.  Xander was out of line.  He didn't immediately apologize or admit he was wrong until Princess Sarah was okay.  Idk, go find your wife's epipen instead of berating a young girl.  Or, you know, Sarah could have asked if there was any pistachio in her scone as a pre-caution.  That's how most people with allergies that severe order things. I do think this story or plot point is silly, but acting like Xander did nothing wrong is just strange.  Even if Felicity DID do something wrong was he just going to continue to go on and on while his wife was going into shock?  That's the proper reaction lol.
    • I didn't get that so far so I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever pick back up.  I must have chosen bad episodes because what I saw had some really bad Irish accents from supporting/day players. They were hard to get through and I just didn't have the patience to deal with them. I don't think these accents would be allowed to go through today. I assume these accents were ironed out as the show went on--reminded me of Deas's terrible accent on GL that was dropped because it was so bad.

    • It's shoddy journalism. Pretty much says all you need to know about Parade as a source.  
    • It could still be possible.  Ashley could know who her dad is, but her mother stating that her father was a ruthless man so she opted to listen to her mom and kept her distance. It also could be a change in storyline direction since we're now approaching the period of episodes being filmed when the show debuted. The actress playing Ashley posted an IG two weeks ago with her saying she got to work with new characters and old time favorites.  So I do wonder if some new details will emerge between Episode 51 and whatever she was filming at the end of April.
    • He didn't scream. He accused her of being careless in a slightly raised voice. Then he immediately admitted he had overreacted.
    • I really don't like Joey. Please get that disaster off the screen. Leslie going off like that finally let everyone see exactly who she is. She said she has more surprises up her sleeve which reinforces my thoughts that she knows something about Martin.
