Nope. LOL.

What about the fact that the cast shots are so horribly mis-matched between filmed/taped shots and it's grossly obvious. What about the fact that most of the cast shots are just so damn cheesy?! It makes the show look cheap and quite frankly doesn't even explain to new viewers what the identity of this show is. Instead of being a show about longstanding tradition, it's a show about a cast whose Executive Produicer was too cheap to update everyone's opening credit shot.

Even though PASSIONS is, for the most part, a crap show, I respect it for bucking the trend of getting an opening credit sequence with photos. The same for DAYS OF OUR LIVES. You see the show's identity in their opening credit sequences: DAYS is the multi-generational soap about people's lives of romance, heartache and suffering never ending. PASSIONS is the quirky, New England soap that is just as cheesy as its opening credits song. It's just way easier not to worry about updating an opening title sequence if there are no cast members in the shot, and it makes the show way more about what it's about than about who is in the show. We watch the show everyday...we already know who's in the cast.

The only ones I feel can completely get away with pictures in their opening credit sequence are Y&R and B&B, because both of those serials were completely built on beauty and power. And maybe AMC because of the scrapbook(not in its current opening).

And because every other soap does it, that means ATWT should do it too? GH's opening sucks ass because it has nothing to do with a hospital. It's about a dark and dreary city overrun by misogyny and mob activity. That has nothing to do with the title of the show or the tradition of the series.

And, although the theme music isn't THAT bad, I much prefer Jelinda's Theme to the current opening we have. But you'll find lots of people disagree with me on that one too. LOL.

Is that definite? If so cool. Although the show is good enough for me right now. Her coming back will be better. Even though its without Simon... :( ! I'm just glad Simon didn't run out on her like he did Katie.

Looking forward to tomorrow though. Only problem I have with my Daytime schedule is that ATWT and OLTL come on during the SAME hour. If it could switch times with AMC I'd be set.

It's not really a definite thing, it is more wishful thinking on my part, though I do think it will be better, just by some of the spoilers it does seem like it will be heading in a better direction, other than that the main reason why I have what I have in my siggy is because of something that took place here at SON in regards to the month of MAY, it is just my way of being funny as a comeback of what happened.

    •  Yeah, he is still dressed like Martin. He looks great, though.  Cute picture. Sober up, cause we need the tea.
    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
