I agree!!!! This is such a dynamic storyline with so much nuance and all KA ever does is screech, screech, screech!!!! It's like nails on a chalk board since Starr's reactions are key in reaction to Todd's.

I also agree that BU is a very layered actress and given the same storyline BU would have killed it!!!

Kristen needs to take it down a notch because I don't feel sorry for Starr and in order for the storyline to work the audience has to feel for Starr. I'm beginning to think this storyline is too overwhelming for KA because so far she's totally one note.

As for Addie...she's overstayed her welcome. I hope she stays gone.

That's what turned me off. Blair has been incredibly understanding from the moment she found her in bed with Cole and Starr turned on her the minute she thought she wasn't on "her side". I'm tired of her whining. Both Todd and Blair need to make her take some responsibility instead of Todd solely blaming Cole and Blair coddling her. Both are extremes. On what planet does a sixteen yr old refuse to not talk about sneaking off to have sex with a boy and the mother says Oh, OK. :rolleyes:

The show was good today but more set up for the rest of the week...

I really enjoyed Viki/Dorian scenes. I was not around back in the day to enjoy their rivalry so it was good to hear what happened when Jessica mentioned it to Charlie. Eeeeeeeeeee man, Charlie is pissed at Dorian right now, I hope he let's her have it tomorrow!

Loved Jessica's hair today (thank you stylists, that is what I am talking about...different styles!) but what happened to Bree??! That hair was wild!lol

Ha, no I did not even catch that. It probably has to do with all the re-editing they were doing to stretch out scenes during the strike.

Well Jessica basically said exactly what Dorian is doing. Dorian always goes after Viki's men but if she cannot get them, she then tries to bring them down and destroy them. IMO, that is exactly what Dorian is trying to do to Charlie with all the lies and he has finally caught on to that and is why he went to find her. Let her have it Charlie!!!!!!

I agree. it was a great thing to do. great storyline. I dont like what todd did and it was wrong and makes me HATE him, but it wasnt out of char or anything. I just wish something would happen to him because of something he does for once...

I agree about KA. A much strong actress is needed, but i think sending starr away for 6 months and bringing her back with a new actress would work. KA is like DC on GH, they ahve both been in the roles for so long it is hard to picture someone else, but a strong actor is needed.

I also agree about BU & BB. And Langston & Cole are so much better.

Starr is who she is BECAUSE f Blair being a weak selfish shrew and spoiling her and keeping her around todd ina hostile relationship.

I love that Charlie finally found out that Dorian has been playing him, because he's probably thinking, I could have come clean with Viki a long time ago, but Dorian convinced me that she wouldn't have anything to do with me, if she knew. Now I cannot wait to see what happens AFTER Charlie confronts Dorian, and gets to see the "REAL" Dorian and her true feelings about Viki because you know that she isn't going to be able to stop herself from inserting her foot in mouth.

Yeah, after he kidnapped Shane and wasn't charged, that sucked. John needs to let Todd have it. I love the Todd/John stuff going on. Very well set up by the writers. I hope that keeps going. It's much more dangerous than the childish jealous ish Todd and Spencer had. Possibly because John has a rough exterior but we all know he's mushy inside whereas Todd has the smooth exterior and the rough (but incessantly cracking) interior. Spencer and Todd were like clones, although Spencer was a lot ickier. Anyway, love John's hatred.

I also think that maybe a recast is necessary at this point. When KA plays dutiful daughter or even when she plays sneaking around daughter, she's fine enough. But you can't battle against the great Trevor St. John and get away with the high-pitched snivelly screeching that induces groans and :rolleyes: from the audience instead of sympathy. I also agree with Money, Brittany would have KILLED THOSE SCENES. She even kills the scenes when she has no lines. AND she's prettier than KA. At least IMO.

Then again, perhaps the writers want her to be stronger. Because if the Langston character was played by someone weaker, I doubt I'd care about her parents' death etc. etc.

Wow. Today's show was very good.

Loved the Viki/Jess conversation and I LOVED the stuff with Dorian/Charlie. Finally he is seeing Dorian for who she really is, and I cannot wait to see where it goes from here.

I've really missed Jamie/Jessica together, and having those two in scenes with Antonio reminded me how much I truly adored them as a family.

Why do I think that Nash's business partner is ever more shadier then Jared could ever be?

It was quite nice not having the Manning family on today.

Looks like some good stuff tomorrow as well, can't wait.

ITA today was excellent!

Viki/Jessica's conversation was perfect and was a nice parallel to what was going on with Dorian/Charlie. WOW that convo was great and Robin Strasser portrays a devious, bitchy, women scorned so well! She's EVIL!! Love Dorian!

Cannot repeat this enough, Rex and Gigi are so cute together. I Floved the toner in Gigi's teeth and when she spit in the napkin and was going to wipe Rex face with it! Great stuff!

I also loved how Natalie is taking charge and questioning Charlie and Gigi.

      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.

      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.

      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.
