Today's episode was really good IMO b/c I got to see lots of Rex & Gigi. I LOVE Rex and Gigi. I was little annoyed that they blew over Todd's holding Gigi and her son hostage. The Todd/Gigi scenes: seems a little seductive-- like he was coming on to her. I could be wrong, of course.

I am loving Vicky and Charlie-- loved Vicky's reaction when she found out he wasn't proposing- cute!

This Nash/Sarah thing seems so contrived. It just came out of nowhere-- the way he's always complimenting her appearance and--blowing off Jess-- when they barely shared a scene before. And Cristian and Jess are supposed to be kinda jealous. It doesn't make sense. They could've done a better job leading up to this quadrangle. Maybe they're trying to show Nash thinking he's a big shot with his financial backers or something, who knows.

Today's show was really good.

Rex and Gigi were adorable as always and the continuation of that flashback was perfect. Too bad the strike had to prolong this pairing because I want to see how HOT the two would be together. Right now they are cute, the history is there, we just need Adriana gone!! Damn writers strike!!

Todd and Gigi scenes were hot but in a non romantic way.....there is like this love/hate, sexual tension between the two that might be explored someday.

I was happy to fnally get some Todd/Viki scenes and was just as surprised as Viki that Todd asked her to confirm the story before he published it.

It was also good to see Natalie and Jessica's sister talk, that was cute.

Nash/Sarah...blech!

I soo loved seeing more of that 4th of July flashback! Rex and Gigi would be awesome together. I could totally see Todd coming between them later, though- because of the chemistry that Gigi/Todd had in their scenes yesterday. Reminds me of the the time that Ramsey and Todd cornered Gigi during the kidnapping SL: Todd was standing behind her and he had this little smile on his face and he was smelling her hair. FF has chemistry with a good number of guys on the show. Lots of options for pairings and triangles and such. Good stuff. Now if we could just get rid of Adriana....

^^^^ OMG Layla was bad today, wasn't she? First she is in Antonio/Talia's business, then she was in John's business, then to top it off she talks more S.H.I.T about Gigi to Natalie. Poor Tika to have to be the blabber mouth of the soap but my props for Layla looking out for her friends. To bad the friend she should have been worried more about was in NAPA with Nash...WTF was that all about??Those scenes were horrible!! lol The whole show today was a bit off...reeking of scab work. <_<

Tommorrow or today since I am posting so late or is it early, ANYWAY yeah next eppy seems promising.......................

Layla is soooooooooo annoying, I would love for someone to slap her just to shut her up. The girl apparently has no life of her own and no family left in Llanview (hell, even her boyfriend is on recurring status now, and her roommate is on the other side of the country). What else does she have to do to keep herself busy, other than stick her nose into everyone else's business.

I have to admit that I thought the Rex/Gigi 4th of July flashback was hot, hot, hot. Farah Fath does overalls really well btw. ;)

And, man Adriana is really turning into quite the ice queen isnt' she? She sounds and acts like Dorian more and more every day now.

Well I thought it was made clear today that the John/Talia/Antonio storyline is a set up but I do not know who is in on it or who is not. Is it bad acting/bad writing or is it good writing/good acting because I really figure it out. The best part about this storyline will be John getting his @ss kicked by Antonio & Cristian.

Gigi/Rex = heartbreaking s/l

Adriana was pretty harsh to her future stepson (Shane)

Marcie/Michael= heading towards a divorce

Cole is plain stupid to confront Todd especially after his beat down.....good luck to him.lol

This Tonio/Talia/John story is horrible. It makes NO sense. Antonio all of a sudden turning back into an angry caveman and being jealous over John and Talia? That came out of nowhere and they've given him no reason to. And this sex in a motel is so unlike both of them. I was wondering if this was a setup bc its the only thing that could save it but I cant even see a reasoning behind that.

Adriana is an insufferable jealous bitch. Cant stand her. Loving Gigi and Rex , though he is getting way too attached to Shane and should back off since thats what Gigi wants

      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. 
    • 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.
