I love this season so far! It seems a lot more real than Season 3 was. It reminds of me of Season 1 when everyone wasn't trying to be someone to get more airtime. All of the kids in the Newport cast seem genuine and it looks like they are showing their real selves, and no fascades. That's what I like about it. No one's trying to be the bitch, like Cami and Kyndra were last year. They turned too many people away, because everyone thought they were so fake.

Just finished watching the first episode and I really liked it. Like Drew said, they didn't seem too fake like Cami and Kendra were.

It looks like there's going to be quadrangle with Chrissy/Clay/Allie/Chase. I guess they're going the main "stars" of the show.

I loved how Chrissy had a curfew and how her parents were upset because she was in a hotel room with a guy. And Chrissy is cute and she reminds me of Autumn Reeser. :wub:

OMG did anyone see tonights episode!?

God I LOVE this show. Its even better than Laguna Beach! I mean I FLOVED Laguna Beach (all 3 seasons although Season 2 was the best) and yet the Newport Harbor TAKES THE CAKE when it comes to awesomeness!

The guys are hot. The girls are fabulous and HAWT! Chrissy is a model in the making. Heck all the girls should be models. Grant may be the hottest guy on the planet PERIOD! And Clay is definitely coming in at a close 2nd....Even Chase isn't half bad.

Anyways Chrissy and Clay were SOOO CUTE tonight. I absolutely melted when they were talking at dinner. Just get together already! And when she found about his date with Allie it was so adorable how she was like, "I'm SO OVER the bbq...." Lol this girl has got class and style. That bike she was riding in the episode before tonights was classic.

I really hope they do a Season 2 of this show...

And please God let Grant remain shirtless the rest of the season... :P

^^I pretty much agree with everything you said! Except I find Clay the hottest guy on this planet.

Those Clay/Chrissy scenes were smokin'! I haven't rooted for a pure, wholesome couple like those two in a LONG time. Clay is so hot and Chrissy is so cute and they are so shy and you can tell really like each other. Then the kiss....ahhh. haha

I love how open and honest they were with each other two...

Like they were playing "The Game" as my boy Grant said in the last episode but they still played it in such a way that they weren't drastically ruining their chances at a relationship or hurting one another too badly.

Just goes to show you that you can have fun but still have respect for yourself and others.

And while Chrissy and Clay are definitely good for each other I'll admit that I would have loved to see more Chase & Chrissy! And more Allie and Clay! Those pairings also work for me. Chase seemed so REAL when he was at Chrissy's the other night. Atlhough he might have just been that way since he had a totally different agenda going on in his head...LOL.

I think it would be hilarious if Chase continued to flirt like crazy all year long only to realize towards the end that he TRULY loves Chrissy and yet find out its too late since shes with Clay.

I loved Clay and Chrissy. But I think Allie has the makings of being a bitch. I love Sasha, she kinda reminds me of Lo. But, they are coming up with the prom episode, its too soon! How many episodes are we going to have? It seems like they are going to fast.

This season is so better than last year! However, Cami and Kyndra were in Season 2 for a few episodes and they weren't that bitchy. They definately became bitchy when they got their own season. And Kyndra in Season 2 has black hair and it didn't look good at all

I think it was Pierce Brosnan who said it best in "The Thomas Crown Affair"..."You're not in it for the money...you're in for THE CHASE!"

Half the fun of this season for me is watching "The Chase" as its being played out between Clay and Chrissy! But yeah drama is also fun too. I'm loving Grant right now. Hes just such an awesome guy.

And Tishy I don't know how many eppys this season will have but I PRAY its around 20 to 24. I just can't get enough!

ITA that this season is better than last season, just because this season seems more real.

As for Cami and Kyndra, I think they expected big things to come from acting the way they did. They saw what being a bitch did to Kristin, and they thought, if we're meaner, we could be like Kristin or even better. It backfired because the audience knew it was all a charade, and they were playing it up for the camera. As much as I loved Cami, she loved the camera and she loved the attention.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
