I agree. That was dumb. Just like the fact that this is supposed to be set in the 1950s screwing with everyone's ages for no explicable reason (unless John Black is a Colleen-Santo love child) and the age of the actor who plays Colleen's dad being not that different than those of Ali and James. I am just trying to set all that aside though and get lost in the romance because that has been in such short supply lately on this show.

One thing I did LIKE about that casting however was Pete's Irish accent being a lot less intelligible and more true to Galway than Ali's or Father Mallory's. I still think Ali's is good, it's just more Dublin than what you'd find in Galway or anywhere else in the western part of Ireland. Father Mallory, on the other hand, sounds like the Lucky Charms guy when he talks and I don't find his accent authentic at all.

I enjoyed today's show, and the start of the Colleen/Santo story. This is the just the start of the story, and I guess I wasn't expecting anything shocking to start with. I thought Pete did look young, but the casting was good. Maybe the actor could play a Brady cousin down the road. I wish Bo wasn't a Kiriakis, as I could definitely see Pete being Bo's grandfather. AS is doing an awesome job in her dual role.

I have enjoyed the last two episodes more than I have any since last summer. Romance and sex are not the same thing, and juxtapositioning the Santos/Colleen story with the Lucas/Sami slurping makes that crystal clear.

Pete Brady's portrayer looked to be the same age as James and Ali, but it was easy to tell why he was cast. To be a dayplayer, he gave a very nice performance.

Susan, Bill, Drake, Deidre, Peter and Kristian's scenes around the picnic table have been well played both days. Susan, in particular, is shining. She has always been a classy lady and a consummate professional, and I have enjoyed having both her and Bill back in Salem.

Lumi are newlyweds. They are suppose to be having a lot of sex. Didn't people ask where was the sex on this show was a couple of weeks ago? Now Hogan is giving it to you and it is Lumi, you don't like it. :rolleyes:

And if it was Ejami were boinking like bunnies, you wouldn't mind it and wouldn't be complaining. After all you don't mind EJ raped Samii to knock her up with his child.

Sorry, I'd mind (last paragraph) and if my husband acted like a ten year old on our honeymoon his sorry behind would have been out the door and goodbye marriage. Sex is great - not this pre teen behavior between two people who are supposed to be around 30. I'd rather watch John swallow Marlena's head with a kiss any day!!

I have enjoyed the picnic table readings and on Tuesday they made it clear the men were getting more involved in the story. So far I like the feel of the Santo/Colleen story and think Scott and Sweeney are doing excellent work - the writing is good too, which happens to surprise me a lot. The contrast betwen these groups of people and the Lucas and Sami characters was glaring - true understanding and romantic love vs kids who may as well be in the backseat of daddy's car.

Please! The thing is Lumi is white trash now if you like the sort of thing thats fine I have zero interest of watching 2 people shown in bed eating fast food and slurping it up in the same bed that probably has pizza crumbs, stale chicken wings, Burger King wrapers in it. What a frickin Pig wearing those pathetic high school boxer shorts. These two are such white trash!

If Ejami was making love EJ would certainly not be doing it in a crappy motel like that. The guy has already flown in clambs stuffed with pearls for Sami. See thats class!

Actually when I look at myself in the mirror I tell myself I look fabulous. :lol: Nothing funny there.

Back to the topic, I'm ENJOYING the Lumi scenes but I could do wothout the 'enhanced' audio of the smacking and I like Santeen but I'm not sold on the writer's vision.

      Leslie's fantasy

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?

      By DemetriKane · Posted

      Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      By BoldKara · Posted

      Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.

      Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that

      Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By EricMontreal22 · Posted

      Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      Please register in order to view this content

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene 

      Please register in order to view this content

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?

      But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
