Today was sort of a filler day. Nothing really happened except the break up of Jill and Will. I hope Jill changes her mind about not being interested in Ji-Min. He seems to really like her.

I liked the scenes with Jack, Neil and Sharon too. It was sweet when Jack said that Sharon could count on him and he would be her safe place. I didn't really believe him, he still has too much loyalty to Phyllis, but it was a sweet notion. It's days like today that make me like Sharon. I like it when the writers give her depth and remember that losing a child changes someone forever. Sharon Case plays it well I think.

Thanks QN. I wasn't paying as much attention today as I normally do so I missed the introduction. This girl did see more shy, while the girl he met at Indigo seemed kind of take charge. I'd love to see Devon in a love triangle over the summer. He's really not my favorite character either, but it's about time he had a few dates. It'd be a whole lot better than the summer of porn I fear we're going to get from Daily and Amber. :lol:

I admit, I kind-of laughed when Nikki was had tears in her eyes telling Victoria why she wanted to be a Senator. It just seems out of character for Nikki to care about anyone or anything other than herself. But feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Nikki was killing me with her tears, then sudden switch to determination, as if to answering her own question she had directed at Victoria.

I think that folks are going to be on their toes with Nikki...Jack's dangerous when it comes to doing dirt but Nikki might be pulling out her bag o Victor Newman tactics to get what she wants.

I will be 100% glad when they end this Daniel storyline.

Brad got some nerve; little turd...He needs to check his mouth and attitude at the door. Can't wait till all the folks he's been screwing with come back at him like a ton of bricks...I want Brad to lose a lot of all that he schemed, connived and slept for. I hate that punk

    •  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.
