I thought all three actresses did a good job. I hate all things Fusion Women so I was prepared to hate Fusion's Angels, but I found myself actually digging it. I almost wanted them to actually kill Richie(off screen of course) then all three tell the cops that they were the one who did it. :lol:

For the first time since she came back in Janurary it felt like RB showed up for work. I can't stand the Greenlee character, but when she was going on about how hard the air was to breath...wow, I really felt that.

I loved the bit of "OMG that b*tch is crazy" AM brought to the scenes today. Of all three women Kendall is the one who I think would actually kill a man and I believed her when, after Richie telling Babe that she didn't have the guts to kill him, she told him that she did. That glint in her eye was delicious. And was it my imagination, or did she seem to stand up a little taller than normal? LOL. Did she get her spine back?

And AB was pretty good too. Of course every scene I see her in I think to myself that her name is Doreen. Because that ain't Babe.

My only lament is that Amanda wasn't included in on the fun. Story wise I get it, she really has no connection with Richie. But she could have been there for the innitial charge into the cabin, then when all of the knife play started she could have voluntarily slipped outside to stand watch/leave so she couldn't be a witness in case one of them really did kill Richie. Missed opportunities.

And while this is my very first post I would also like to say that I can already tell that I'm gonna love Carmen and Adam. That smile he shot her? DC is such a fox! A significantly older than myself fox, but a fox no less.

Erica and sam were hot again. Get erica outta prison ASAP so she can find out how sam is gonna treat her out of a public place. :D Loved the end where erica was lying to jackazz about having a boring time with sam in lock-up, that hefer was lying and she would of slept with sam if they weren't in a public place. :lol: Loved carmen's scenes with adam, she is going to have so much dirt on adam it ain't even gonna be funny. :lol:

Kendall/Babe/Greenlee/ = Erica/Skye/Janet. Anyone else get those vibes? I didnt care for those scenes. I thought Kendall was over the top and she's the only one I didnt buy today of those 3.

Loved the Erica/Sam stuff. I saw some chemistry there

Yes. A curly haired vegetarian bean pole with a knife.

Unpopular Opinions.

Alicia Minshew is not a strong actress, so anytime she has to show any emotion other than sarcastic or bitchy, she's incredibly over the top. When she's portraying "vulnerable" she shakes and gulps a lot. When she's "panicked" she repeats a character's name sixteen times: "Zach? Zach? OMG! Zach? Zach? Are you okay? Zach? Zach? Zach, speak to me!" or "Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, don't! Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, come back! Ryan, Ryah, no! Please, Ryan! Ryan!" And let's not get started on the "cough-crying."

Billy Miller is just... okay. I wish he'd quit talking through his teeth. I also wish he'd stop "pretending" to be Richie and start ACTING like Richie. Trust me... there's a difference.

Rebecca Budig is limited and sorely overrated.

Babe is NOT some complex, multi-layered character. I hate how people are confusing the bubbly, commercial-friendly perkiness of Alexa Havins as being Babe. But of course, that's my opinion -- which means nothing since I obviously don't know what I'm talking about. I mean, if I did, then I would've been blaming Amanda Baker for the haphazard way she edited herself into the main title sequence last fall along with all of the true Babe Lovers/AB haters.

Yeah, I got the Erica/Skye/Janet vibes too and this version pales so much by comparison!

Babe & Greenlee were OK in these scenes, but Kendall went way too far over the top and sadly Alicia just kept repeating the same lines without hitting the emotional mark.

This was the first time I saw the chemistry between Sam & Erica. I wouldn't mind if this evolved into a triangle with Jack.

New Colby is awful, isn't she? I really miss AC. I thought the actress playing Colby's new friend (sorry, can't recall the character's name) was pretty good.

Carmen & Adam were funny together. Their banter reminds me of Palmer & Myra so I hope Carmen stays in his employ for years!

I agree.

i agree. I like both of them - i really do - but nither can carry the show, and botht goether cant carry the show. they both can play the same role very well - snarky, bitchy, ott, selfish, whore. anything beyond that is.. no. Sure, both have had great emotional moments, but overall they are just not soap opera leading ladyness, and i wish AMC would stop trying to force it.

Yup.

Baker actually wasnt *as* horrid as i figured she would be so i was kinda pleased by her to be homnest - but shes still a horrid miscast.

Rebecca Budig, Amanda Baker, and Alicia Minshew's acting was on fire (in that order)! Rebecca of course was dynamite IMO. She was the acting queen in her scenes. Amanda Baker actually surprised me too. She was her best yet as Babe. Alicia - I love that girl - and you could tell she tried. She was the last one to go with her knife torturing tirade. She should have been first and let Greenlee go last. Alicia was good - there were a few lines she delivered flawlessly - and her eyes were on point. But as R Sinclair mentioned - she did have her bad moments she's known for. All in all though - impressive scenes and great episode!

    • I hope for a multi-year renewal, too! This is the only show I've been excited to see the next episode in forever. Considering their demos are quite decent. the initial episodes showed there is still an interest in daytime, and it has helped to boost the rest of the soap line up at times, it should be around for a while.

    • I agree.  How many times did we have to watch Bobby vs. J.R., or Blake vs. Alexis, knowing that nothing would change at the end, and that everything would go back to status quo, so that they could fight the same, exhausting battles all over again?  If nothing else, I give FC and KL credit for trying to keep things fresh, even if I think FC, in particular, went too far in the other direction and became unrecognizable even to the most diehard fans. Exactly.  Plus, because viewers were so burned out by the kind of serialized storytelling that was beginning to affect even half-hour comedies, I think MSW represented a nice change of pace.  You didn't have to watch every week, or watch from the beginning of each season, to know what was going on with Miss Fletcher.  Instead, you could watch a complete story in one episode, de-stress from whatever had happened in your own life last week, gear yourself up for the week ahead, and be okay. If you notice, though, there were differences between those two shows and what Aaron Spelling had produced in the past.  For one thing, there was a greater emphasis on youth; and while characters on 90210 and MP certainly had more disposable incomes than the average viewer, their wealth wasn't as opulent as what we'd seen on DYNASTY or on "Hart to Hart."  Even the battles among Alison, Amanda, Billy and others at that advertising agency weren't as histrionic as those between Denver Carrington and ColbyCo.
    • I saw a conversation yesterday with Liam with the 7 dwarves hat and Steffy -  I know she did not say re: Hope and Liam said - well look at Finn and you forgave him right?      I know I did not hear Steffy say “well but you can’t compare that to…”  For *uck sake someone call the bitch out!?     You’re right, we shouldn’t compare your forgiveness for the dude with devil spawn seed whose daughter locked you in a cage along with crazy stepmom/mom/Grandmother who has also SHOT YOU BOTH - and multiple murder attempts but you have to exist with them / Hope’s part in a takeover which you know was FAR LESS THAN CARTER BECAUSE HOPE IS NOT AN ATTORNEY…. Goodness no, no the same thing at alllllllll.   When they do Steffy’s absence at least let it be because they all find out what a manipulative ho she is in her own right.      
    • I think a lot of us still agree with that. I do hope that the resurgence in the soap world with Beyond the Gates will push ABC to either bring back these shows or produce a newer one.
    • So, this was fun. Elsewhere, friendly to polls, a poll on what do you want to see at the Nurses Ball. The Gio reveal got 18%, for Blaze to return & sing also got 18%, for Jennifer Hudson to do a cameo & sing got 10% and for Lucy to lose various parts of clothing got 9% but the huge one was the reveal of Drew/Nina sex which got a whopping 45%!  
    •   I liked the effect of the curtains closing. Yeah it was like the end of Act I.   Or maybe they are simply trying to emphasize the drama of the end of an episode -- instead of a random abrupt end that has happened in some prior episodes.
    • I posted this in the behind the scenes thread but I know this thread is busier so wanted to mention it here as well. During their instagram live yesterday, Daphnee Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant mentioned that they will find out this month if the show is renewed for another season. Just a heads up so we can keep an eye out for an announcement and keep our fingers crossed for a multi-year renewal!
    • They haven't explained the ownership of the Bistro, but Doug told Holly the other day he didn't get the job there. Basically Roman just hired Doug on the spot and gave him a room.  It was really nice of Roman.  I don't know if he knows who Doug is or that he stole Julie's necklace.  That was unclear-at least to me. ETA-I feel like the Bistro might just die and people will just pretend to order food there like Leo did today.  Sophia is on bed rest so no one works there anymore.  They can use that set for something else.
    • I'm not sure how I felt about it, but I do kind of like that it felt like the show telling us this concludes the first chapter of the series. Could be interesting if they only do it for big aftermath episodes. The biggest mistake with Martin is that it's almost hard to buy his anger because we've gotten no strong scenes with him and his parents. They've all been with Anita/Vernon. I can't even remember him ever even saying one word to Nicole, even in passing.
