Yeah. Having her boink Mobtastic on her first episode was probably not the wisest move TIIC ever made. I love how they are blaming the scab writers for Claudia's failure to bring up the ratings. Because she arrived before the strike -- back when Luza was crafting this particular ode to the Magic Peen.

Still, I think they are gradually moving her in the Independent Bitch direction.

Can anybody tell me the big attraction with Yawny? Dude looks like a potato with sideburns and a sleeveless vest.

I liked Johnny at first but now he's been Lulufied and that is that. I find both he and Lulu's little can't stay away/stay away dance a bit annoying but not enough to feel sorry for Logan, who seems destined to become another bump in the road for them.

I don't think Claudia's moving to independent because their ladling her with a whole lot of emotion in an effort to generate empathy for the character. She's got this border line obsession with Johnny that's more of the mother trying to make up for lost time and failure than the protective sister thing.

I didn't have a problem with Robin saying what she did since I took it to be a catalyst for her recognizing that she was being unfair to Patrick. She gets to evolve from her selfishness.

Writing Carly in denial to make her sympathetic doesn't work for me since she is a bad mother all the way around. Telling Jax that Michael still calls Jason when he can't fall asleep rung as untrue. If Jason had said that maybe it would have seemed believable but Carly is too out of touch with her kids that the nanny would know that sort of thing better than she. All Carly's performance did yesterday was make me think that if she and Jason had been the ones with Michael that she would have dove to protect Jason over her Michael. I almost felt sorry for Jax but then they made him the idiot that married her so forget that.

Again they gave Jason this fantastic sounding reason for his choices as long as you accept it and don't give ti another thought. Otherwise you'd realize it was bogus. No problem if they don't want him to leave the mob. Just don't keep having him use danger as a reason to conveniently end his relationships and make him look all torn up about it. For years he's been ready to step up and play some child's father despite the danger and is Michael in any less danger now that he's in the hospital?

Jason is a soap hunk and they can't avoid having him in a relationship even though the ideal for that character would be to be detached. Since he has to have someone then give him someone and let that be the end of it with him and the women and danger being the reason he walks away. Let him make a pact that love trumps danger and being present as a father trumps the pretense and give him his life of danger with the shielded family as well., It's a soap world not the real world and there's no sense in dabbling in reality for convenience and lazy writing.

I hate the writing for Claudia and the character really got off to a horrible start, but I think Brown's been giving it the best she's got. She's been really good in those emotional scenes and she's always sparkled with Steve Burton, out of all the Carly's, her Carly was the one who had the sexual chemistry with Jason. It's showing now too, those JIZ fans must be pissed that those two are sharing scenes together more and more time again.....

Yeah this was the first time they've showed it. They did the same thing when they killed off Cooper, show his bumper at the end of the ep with Maxie. It was a slap in the face to 3M fans IMO. And yeah the bumper was meant to look silly. They make two bumpers for everyone. One thats real serious and another that kinda silly. Here's two examples

Serious

Silly

Why should they be pissed? He's sharing more scenes with Carly than anyone else right now and it's kind of hard to make a case for his being with Claudia since her botched hit on Sonny put Michael in the condition he is in. I personally don't see any sexual chemistry between Jason and anyone but I'm sure fans of all of his pairings think differently.

From a story point perspective, pairing him with Claudia would be worse than pairing him with Sam who he threatened to kill. It would be very hard to take Jason seriously he was shacked up with the woman who is indirectly responsible for what happened to the first child he ever loved. And since Jason doesn't do much but look like he's in pain then she would be wasted on him anyway if the idea was to generate heat.

Im glad Robin saw what a hypocrite she was being regarding Carly

The only good thing I can say about Lulu is at least she finally let Logan go instead of keeping him on a tight leash. He deserves better than her. How about they try him with Nadine? I thought he had good chemistry with Maxie before. It would be interesting to see them pair up since she is single bc I bet that would drive Lulu crazy

I was thinking the same thing today. Logan and Nadine would be good together. :)

I loved the Sonny and Kate scenes. I have to say since Kate came along I might actually like Sonny. How did that happen? Megan Ward really is amazing and Kate is bringing out the best in Sonny. That's not an easy task. I have to give her credit for that.

What's with Jason on his high horse and looking at Sonny while he's giving his little speech that was really more suited for Carly. :rolleyes:

I swear I've seen the DC bumper before. :unsure:

    • 1976 Part 3 Peggy Brooks, the youngest Brooks daughter, upset over her parents’ recent marital trouble, has turned to her college teaching assistant for help with her studies, and then for emotional support. Jack Curtis is deeply attracted to her but tries to warn her not to get emotionally involved. But Peggy confesses she’s fallen in love with him, and he knows he returns her feelings. Jack, whose real name is Johnny Kryzynski, a name he feels is too difficult for professional use, is married to Joanne, a waitress at the Allegro, Leslie Elliot’s restaurant. Joanne, who is very overweight, is on another of her frequent reducing diets, hoping to regain Johnny’s love and attention. She is encouraged by Brock Reynolds, who manages the Allegro for Leslie. Sympathizing with her problem and her need for her husband’s love, Brock tells. her she must feel beautiful herself before other people can see it. One night, while discussing Joanne’s previous, fruitless attempts to diet, Jack asks her a question he’d never actually asked ‘before: Why had she gained all  that weight? Joanne painfully tells him that she found out a year after they were married that she was pregnant. When she sounded him out about children, he had made it clear they couldn’t have a child until he’d finished school, so she secretly had an abortion, which left her feeling so empty that she ate to fill the emptiness. For the first time in a long time, Jack put his arms around her and kisses her. Feeling that Johnny really cares now that he knows about the abortion, Joanne’s trying very hard'to stay on her diet. But Peggy, having lunch at the Allegro, confides in her friendly waitress that she’s in love, and the man’s name is Jack Curtis. Joanne is heartsick, not only for herself but for Peggy, who obviously has no idea that Jack is married. Knowing that Peg’s sister Chris Foster works for Legal Aid, Joanne consults Chris about a legal name change, explaining that her husband, Johnny Kryzynski, uses the name Jack Curtis professionally she may as well make it their legal name. Chris makes the connection and tells her father about it. Stuart confronts Jack, demanding to know how he could do this to his wife and to Peg, and what he is going to do about it. Jack asks for time to let Peg down easily. When Peg learns that her father has seen Jack, she furiously informs him to stay out of her relationship with Jack. Peg later apologizes for her angry words, but she and her father cross swords again over Jack, and, backed into a verbal corner, Stuart blurts out, ‘For’ God’s sake, he’s a married man!” Disbelieving, Peggy goes to Jack, who tries to explain he’s started to tell her many times but, not wanting to hurt her, kept hoping for a better time to do it. Peggy, in shock, goes to the Allegro to think this out. Seeing the pain Peggy’s suffering, Joanne goes over to her and gently tells Peg she understands the hurt she’s going through—they are both in love with the same man, because Jack Curtis is her husband. Jill, having decided she must have revenge on Kay, has liquor delivered to her daily. When this doesn’t drive Kay back to alcoholism, Jill embarks upon a campaign to'convince Kay that Phillip is still alive. Jill slips into the Chancellor house each evening, after Liz has left, and leads Kay into reliving incidents and conversations which occurred over a year ago, when Jill was Kay’s paid companion. In this way Jill shakes Kay’s acceptance of Phillip’s death and has her convinced that Phillip is only away on a business trip. But Liz and Brock discover Jill’s grisly charade and begin to help Kay back to reality. Faced with the enormity of what she’s been doing, Jill realizes how wrong this is and decides to end the hostilities.
    • Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, and Knots Landing episodes for the week of October 24, 1983.
    • I really don't want to see some old P&G actors on the show. To me Lindstrom and McLain have brought nothing special. The show needs to find new talent, so it has it's own identity,which overall they have. Timon, Tricia, Ambyr are breakouts. Most of the others are fine .We all know the exceptions.
    • I would wager that was because it was a new character for the likes of Devon, Lily and Nate to interact with. Watching the likes of Billy fall in love again-Phyllis, Chelsea,Lily and now Sally is repetitive, especially when he is no prize. Josh doesn't really do long term couples. So every year or so they swap partners. It diminishes them as characters as they don't seem to grow or learn from the past. We know those characters so well and they've been through just about everything, so the only solution is to involve them with new characters and have them react to the newbies drama. They tried with Ashland and the Rosales but Josh dumped the latter and wrote so badly for Ashland who could have been a long term antagonist. All we got was another short lived marriage for Victoria and another accidental killing. And Josh thinks having them sit in restaraunts for the whole episode talking business, mergers, takeovers and job switching is interestring. It's not. I feel sorry for the actors who must know they are serving shite.
    • If I were to cast a Soap Opera veteran as Jan.. I would have picked Krista Allen (of Days and B & B fame) since she did move to the Atlanta area in late 2023... and knows all there is about the Soap opera way of filming.  And I could see her playing Ashley's mom.
    • Is the set for Lulu's new house an updated version of the set used for the childhood home of Luke, Bobbie and Pat Spencer?
    • I feel like AMC would be the easiest of their soaps to revive but a reboot seems cursed at this point. I wish we had more insight on what was pitched for the primetime reboot as well as these movies. That would give us a better idea of why it keeps getting shot down.
    • Mansion of the Damned sure is a "talkative" horror movie.  In the past when I've watched those episodes, I was paying attention to The Edge of Night characters and not really zeroing in on the rehearsals/blocking/filming of the actual movie.  This time I've been following the plot of Mansion of the Damned pretty closely, and all I can say is Hester Atherton and Nicholas Harriman are about the most chit-chatty Witch and Devil I've ever heard in my life!     
    • Ashley and Derek have been so isolated that I need the show to develop something, anything to justify their presence. It's not that I think Joey being her father will be the greatest story ever told but at least it would be something and connect her to more characters. I just need the show to move forward with them. Out of all the characters, these are the only two with no storyline/development. We have recurring characters who are better used with less screentime. If the show is going to keep them on contract they need to do something with them.
    • I never thought I'd say it, but SC is B&B's best male actor - by far. SK is next. Has there ever been a US soap that has so much female talent surrounding by Himbos? KKL, JMW, HT, KB, AN, RB could be/have been leading ladies on any other soap. Even the secondary females are the ones who carry their scenes. It's been rare periods when B&B actually had a few solid male cast members. JMW really did a great job in the scenes with AN. Considering everything we've witnessed the past couple of years with Steffy/Hope, I thought reveal may ring hollow. JMW proved me wrong. No doubt this is Emmy material.
