You can really feel the show's inconsistency if you watch the April 91 episode and then this one - months apart, yet the show feels extremely different tone (the Paul and Ava stuff is - well it's weird). Matt seems like a good character. It's too bad they didn't keep him around.

I started watching Loving pretty regularly in... 92 I think when they had the week-long AMC cross over (I wish some of that was online) involving chasing Carter Jones to Corinth (Hannah and Dinah Lee had earlier encountered him while staying in Pine Valley at Myrtle's).  There was some good stuff back then but yes, it was still suffering, as it mostly did, it seems, from too much turn around.

But I have to say, I loved most of Nixon's 1994 (probably her last long stint as HW, excluding her co-HW AMC stuff in 99-2000).  It had a lot of crazy Gothic stuff that Agnes likes to do--like Dante coming on with his "pet" who turned out to be Curtis in a cage, but mostly worked and she did good stuff with Angie.

It's a Christmas miracle a month late - another episode of Loving has popped up. And I think it may be Deborah's first episode, or close.

 

I can't get over how beautiful some of those sets are compared to a soap in recent years.

If anyone here hasn't watched the above episode yet, you should give it a try. It's a surprisingly tense, well-directed, well-acted episode, with a gruesome twist at the end, and some wonderful scenes between the two Clays. 

 

And if you're into Richard Steinmetz, there's also a great ass shot.

    • What consequences are there to suffer? He didnt commit any crime and everyone already hates him. If anything this will set back the progress he's made with Naomi
    • Yes and I also loved how she focused on Chelsea and Naomi when she spilled Bill's involvement in all of this.
    • Danny: Don't drink it. Just hold it. Rocco drinks three laced cups.

    • OH, I AM.   And it looks like it's a pretty good episode so I might watch later on this weekend after work cuz I see a lot of scenes with people I actually like. Very happy to see Rocco/Danny appear to be getting story, too. 
    • I do agree that a revival of EON would work, if it doesn't fall into doing all of the typical soap opera tropes... which it became guilty of in the final few years of the show with the over abundance of Raven/Sky at the expense of the actual detectives, police, etc. And I know it was mentioned earlier that Raven had lost any true connections on the show with the death of her on screen mother, and the loss of April/Draper/Deborah.. and I do agree with that. I actually thought the show would have done something with the Shelley character that could have connected her to the Raven character.  There were a few scenes where the two would have scenes and size one another up before they would go their separate ways.. so I assumed perhaps they would have been revealed as half-siblings and/or perhaps cousins.  Alas.. not to be.
    • It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.' 
    • And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.
    • @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.

    • Part of the reason that Courtney worked at OLTL was because the show had an actual character for her to play.  One that was somewhat different than her character on AW, and after the way she was treated over at AW.. it had to have been nice to be courted onto a new soap that actually valued your contributions.  
    • I figured the "long" was already implied
