I was going to say... don't tell me y'all have forgotten about Natalie. Watching McNostril "act" in that pairing was like watching Night of the Living Dead.

Let's face it. Michael Easton, who had chemistry with at least three actresses on PC, just cannot click with anybody on OLTL. Well, maybe Kassie dePaiva and Cat Hickland, but I put that entirely down to the ability these two actresses have to turn it on with anybody. ME is just not even trying anymore.

I thought she was shipped to a California mental institution after the Ohio Cramer mother stuff. I remember she had intense scenes with Gina's Kelly.

BTW, loved the actress who last played Melinda. Seemed very graceful which was nice nod to character's piano background.

Thanks because I was wondering how John and Marty could possibly be worse than John and Natalie. That had to be the most hyped relationship I have ever seen on any soap only all the verbal hyping didn't transpire into anything when the two of them were on screen together. He always looked as if he'd rather be any place else and it was sometimes painful to watch MA try so hard to generate nothing. She's much better in scenes with DC and JB.

I think ME and CC are fine in scenes together but they've been given some silly dialogue. I'm sure they could have a more adult conversation and exhibit the requisite shyness but I guess the writers don't want to take that chance.

Melinda was last seen about 3 years ago when Heather Tom was in the role. Kelly went to visit her after Paul came to town claiming to be her brother.

Oh lord Marcie came across as an idiot today. Why would she start confronting Michael about knowing about the baby out loud right in the middle of the hospital, especially iwth Todd and Blair lurking around? Coudlnt she have waited till they got home? Anyone could have walked in on them. Heck they could probably hear her in the other wing bc she was so damn loud. What a blittering motor mouth idiot

She also had a scene with Heather's Kelly and mistook Ace for Paul. It made me think Paul was going to be the father of Babe's baby.

That reminds me, Scotty. Do you have anything on the Cramer women getting together-including Melinda and Addie? I've seen some rumors on that.

I heard about that too, I wonder if that scene with Dorian and the doctor about trying something with Addie has something to do with that.

Great scenes by Kathy today, confronting Michael about knowing about Tommy. I can't believe it's been so long since he's known!

I assumed Todd and Blair already knew... back when John was trying to stop Todd from confronting Marcie. John basically acknowledged that Marcie didn't know yet and that he and Michael should tell her. So, that lead me to believe that they know he knows, they just don't know for how long.

    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago that perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. Since we hardly know anything about Leslie's childhood background. In addition, Leslie said she grew up listening to The Articulettes….
    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
    • I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.
    • I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
