I love what they're doing with Blair. I'm finally loving her again, and it's been YEARS since I've felt that way. SHe's much more self-aware, and I really appreciate that.

Bo and Rex - if there's one great thing that came out of the Higley era, it's Bo and Rex!

It was definitely a quieter episode - no doubt about it. But knowing we're in for an old-school, kick-ass soap wedding throwdown, I didn't mind it at all. (Although Nash and Jess were just kind of thrown in - I wonder if the show was short, and needed some extra scenes?) Dorian and Langston were great as always, Blair and John were on JUST ENOUGH - but not too much, and putting Addie and Adriana together was a STROKE OF GENIUS! ("Blair would kill me - she hates you, you know." LOL!!!!!!!!!!!) I loved Adriana talking about what a bitch Gigi's mere presence has turned her into, and even though I'm not always rooting for Adriana, at least she's halfway human to me right now.

As for Gigi - okay, I'll confess, I still see shrieking, shrill Mimi every time she's on. I know FF's swayed a lot of One Life fans to her side, but there were moments today where she got on my nerves as much as ever. And not in a "I love to hate her kind of way". She just has this weird way of projecting her voice. There's a boom mic above your head, Farah - you CAN be softer at times.

But overall, I'm happy to start the week off, and can't wait for the rest of the insanity.

Honestly?

(Sorry, Ryan...)

No. Not really.

Even when I thought Days was good, it didn't get this much positivity. Not since... I don't know... maybe the first MONTH JER came back? And even that wasn't all that much to write home about.

    • It was all about Gio today, boys

      He was really sweet and dorky though, and I enjoyed the violin lol. And he looked good too  I'm speculating that the big reveal will happen at Gio's birthday party. It's definitely time. But yeah, he really should've gotten advice and encouragement from someone, from anyone other than Sonny though. And while I understand where Dante is coming from, he was a little annoying today again. They really needed to establish this tension and anger a lot sooner than now, or not do it at all. Plus, this had already been done with Mac/Cody, Nina/Willow, etc., and honestly, it doesn't seem necessary here.  As for Lucky and Liz, as much as I like angsty couples, I'm still concerned about what Frank may (or may try) to do with them. The biggest reason why Lucky is like a 'cowboy' is because this friggin guy spent the better part of a decade basically erasing him from existence.
    • True, lol. IIRC, Rita Moreno said in an interview that part of the problem was that Susan Harris was ill during the week they taped that episode and therefore was unable to make needed script changes.  I wonder what might have happened had they been able to delay the taping until she felt well enough to work more on the script.  I feel like "Nest" might've sold with Moreno and Paul Dooley (although the patient with DID would've needed to be eighty-sixed regardless, lol).
    • What is the most recent episode in which Maurice Johnson's Ted wore a turtleneck?
    • They had a Liam/Hope montage today supposedly about all their times together but it was only Annika's Hope and no scenes from Kim Matula's Hope.  I realize they probably didn't want to restage those scenes with Annika. But still it was weird to omit the Italian wedding.  They could have thrown in a Puglia scenery pic without the actors.
    • I haven't watched today's episode yet, but maybe that was the point. Maybe they're trying to move Ted in a more unlikable/villain direction and it wouldn't work with the previous actor. Or maybe it's just that transition phase which will take some getting used to. 
    • Thanks to the benefits of watching the last weeks of Sherry's stint as Liza and the start of Louan's stint as Liza... I can safely say that Liza would have remained the lead heroine had Sherry stayed on as Liza.   Charisma is a mighty important element that makes someone watchable and likable... and Sherry had that. No disrepect for Louan because she was a good actress.. but to me, she played a more passive/neurotic Liza vs the more confident/decisive version of Liza.  I think the Liza vs Estelle over TR story would have had more impact with Sherry in the role..imho.
    • Welcome @SoapCurios it is nice to see new people here. Many episodes from The City still aren't available, but if I find any that touch on Azure's story, I will post them.
    • I'm not invested in Ted as a character anymore either. He's not the same.
    • I have a feeling it was either coincidence or it was an idea whose time had come. Remember Bill Bell was also into the psycho-sexual. So it was happening more than one place. Pete Lemay began disagreeing with Irna quite early on. He shut up & listened at first, naturally because he had to learn the basics. But, as soon as he had, they began to have arguments, disagreements. They both were devotees of character-driven but the similarities stopped pretty quickly. Bolin as far as AW was concerned was nuts & bolts, or more $$$. It was all about the numbers. And the numbers were great, double the ad revenue & that went to the network. As far HTSAM was concerned, that was her baby, no one else's. It is so funny to me that Lemay started this by accident.
