Monday's episode was decent.

If Lindsey was any more jealous, her head would explode.

I wonder what Nat is gonna do now that she knows the truth about Jared.

I'll withhold any comments on the Starr prego sitch until more of the story plays out.

I'm just waiting for my girl Gigi to run Adriana outta town! Send that b!tch to France in tears! LOL. If Adriana left town, maybe I could like Rex again.

Did any longtime viewers recognize the woman at Lee Ramsey's place on Wednesday's show? That was Janet Zarish. She was on the show back in the late 80s as Mary Lyn Denison's mother (and Renee's ex-hooker friend), Lee Halpern.

I happened to catch Thursday's show. It's been a long while!

Pluses:

Nora and Lindsey.

Roxy babes. I could listen to Ilene Kirsten talk all day.

Dorian being her usual self.

This evil Ramsey dude. The actor is so good at being sinister.

Strangely, Talia & John. I cannot believe I just wrote that.

The young actor who plays Matthew.

Minus:

This BE talk isn't doing anything for me. Mainly because I tuned in three months ago and Jared & Natalie were regusrgitating the exact same convo back then.

The pace seems a little weird and disjointed. Maybe it's because I've been away.

For some reason the episode felt like a lot of people running to stand still. Like plot didn't really advance. People were just marking time.

LOL at Carlotta's look at Talia and John talking in the diner. She is such a busybody!

I wonder what that whole business on Thursday's show was when Roxy and Charlie were talking about a guy named "Jumbo Molino"...all I kept thinking of was that on Ilene's old soap, RH, there was a character named Jumbo Marino, played by a guy who kept reading the teleprompter. :P

This stuff about Talia and John really came out of nowhere. It's stupid that everyone's giving Talia attitude about it and she hasn't done anything wrong.

Didn't the actor who plays Charlie (Bruce Kerwin, I think he's called) used to be on Ryan's Hope? Maybe he and Ilene have an in-joke about this Jumbo Mumbo fella.

LOL, reminds of when You Tube had the pilot episode of Ryan's Hope. Young Ilene Kristen was quite the teleprompter reader herself. She kept panting at odd moments in the dialogue and looking out from the corner of her eye at the 'prompter! Of course, she has come a LONG way since then and will always be one of my faves.

Gary Tomlin needs to go! He has to be the worst writer I've ever seen. It's so clear that he doesn't plan out his stories, he just writes whatever comes to his mind. I mean seriously, one episode Marcie and Michael are all lovey dovey and the next both think the other isn't paying enough attention to them. WTF? Same goes for Jessica and Nash. And Sarah and Cristian. And Antonio and Talia. The list just goes on and on.

Thursday and Fridays eppys were good but still cannot wait until RC's scripts start airing.

Looking forward to the continuation of Todd/Gigi's talk on Monday.

LMAO......Rex looked sick to his stomach in the previews for Monday when Shane tells him he will be a good father!lol

Roxxy is too funny instigating the whole marriage talk between Charlie/Viki

    • Might be a long shot, because I can't find a thing online about it, but I was Googling the actress that played Nell Cleary (Frank's cop friend that went through academy and then became cops together during the entire Brent Lawrence storyline). To my surprise, she passed away in 2011, at the very young age of 45. I can't find her obituary or anything online about her passing, but I'm curious, does anyone know what happened? Her IMDB only shows a few other acting gigs post-Guiding Light, so she didn't make a career out of it, but I thought she was a great actress in her role as Cleary. Her name was Mary Peterson.
    • What was Ruth Martin's association to the Thornton family?  I only remember the daughter that dated Tad, and she had a buxom mother.  But, did Ruth date David Thorton before Joe?

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.
    • 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 this on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago, so perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. In addition, Leslie did say she grew up listening to The Articulettes too.
    • 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.
