Based on the characters' parents history, it would be a gold mine of a story, I don't know if I'd be able to buy Jay K. Johnson and Shelley Henning as a couple. I remember when they first hinted to it when Shayna Rose and Kyle Brandt were still in the roles, when Kate wanted Stephanie to get Philip's mind off of Belle, again, I thought that there was too much an age difference in the characters and they just don't look right together.

Today was good. Not as good as some of the stuff from last week but bad either. This soroity/bachelor auction is entertaining a big improvement over the Touch the Sky crap. Okay, fine anytime Max takes his shirt off I will say the show is good.

I called that months ago; thought it would be perfect, and that Henning and Johnson would have chemistry; heck Shelly looks a lot like Nadia Bjorlin. However, if I had written this story, Steve and Kayla would have had a lot more time to bond with Tyler, we would have seen that his being in their life solidified the relationship after all of their time apart; Stephanie and Philip would have fallen in love, and just as that happens; Steph learns the truth. Whose heart does she break? Her parents? Or the man she loves? Good drama. Stephanie ultimately doesn't tell Philip to protect her parents; Philip learns the truth, breaks up with Stephanie; yet they are still drawn together. Summer 2008 would have rocked lol Oh, and then Philip, with the help of Kate and Stefano, could bring some dangerous people from Steve's past to town, ultimately even causing more trouble for Philip and Stephanie. And then when Stephanie becomes the victim of the danger, Philip rescues her, and it looks like they can start again. Ok, I'll stop lol. Except that I truly believe Henning has the potential to be a breakout star, as that JKJ should be a hot leading man on the show

The Hope and Kayla scenes were very touching; the Phillip/Belle/Shawn/Billy stuff was ok - the best part was the look on Phillips face when he walked out to go get his son. A man with determination and attitude can be a huge positive when it fits the actor/character, and with Phillip it works. With EJ and Andre/Tony it works. With lucas it doesn't, and I swear I am honestly trying to get over being so annoyed by him - but it's just not working at all.

I don't know if the writers think we're so ignorant that we need to hear the reasons Sami is going to marry EJ every time lucas is on or just what the deal is, but I feel like I'm watching a mutant version of the energizer rabbit: lucas just keeps going on and on and on and saying the exact same things over and over and over again. Maybe Sami needs to draw him a freaking picture so we can be spared from having to hear it, and they can talk about something else - as in Anything else!! I get that he's upset, angry and all that other stuff, and that he's the man Sami's "always" dreamed of being with (this year at least) and she's doing this only to protect her family blah, blah, blah. I'm ready to start doing shots along with EJ just to get me thru these insanely annoying scenes!!

In fact I would have been happy if the sami/lucas scenes would have gone to Chelsea, Max, Stephanie and the frat/sorority people since they were 100 times more interesting!! Morgan is a keeper for sure and reminds me of several of the girls I went to college with. I'm not so sure on the new guy; hopefully his acting ability will be more obvious in time. He came off a little too much like "Jed" - although the no beer belly guy reminded me of Jed (face/hair). Max was funny on stage and he might do very well with Morgan - it would fit the Days rich girl, less wealthy boy thing and could make for a good story (depending on if they have any chemistry or not).

Slow day, but it might make what's coming up feel even more dramatic. But if Sami has to tell lucas one more time WHY she feels she needs to marry EJ, I'm apt to need the services of AA sooner rather than later.

Thanks :) I really wish Steve and Kayla had more time with Tyler because it would mean that much more if he was taken away. I can't recall if Kayla ever said this directly, but I always got the feeling that she felt having this baby was her second chance with Steve, that they could get back what they had lost. And if Stephanie had to choose between her parents, and the man she loves? it's soapy, and why we watch daytime drama.

I just had to make a little comment about the mvid in the original post featuring Steve signing The Rose proposing to Kayla. I had watched this yesterday and then later that evening I watched Napoleon Dynamite. I had forgotten that Napoleon was part of a group that signed to The Rose in a classroom scene at the beginning of the movie. :lol:

    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
    • LOL!! That's funny.  I actually thought he got a little better.
