Here's...Harry.

The actor looks familiar to me, although I don't know his credits, the only one I knew was a Farcsape two-parter. He looks a character from Popeye, a cross between Wimpy and Popeye, so maybe that's it.

Oh, and the Stacey giving birth episode will have Julia's Theme. They're going to be setting a record for that this year, if they use it again when Stacey and Peggy leave.

Jodie mentioned last week that she has nephews, which suggested that her father might have had older children from a previous marriage/relationship. So, I'm not surprised Harry is much older than Vanessa. I'm sure money had a lot to do with their marriage.

Vanessa is also meeting Abi and Lauren during next Wednesday's hour-long episode. I'm not surprised we'll be getting to see Harry and know more about Vanessa in that episode, as Simon Ashdown is writing it and he created Vanessa and Jodie.

Looks like Stacey is going into contractions in the rain with Ryan there.

I know this was Green's wording and not the show's but I hope they won't try to paint him as the new Archie. Archie was unique, and even that didn't last too long, as by the end he was just a generic baddie and apparently a multiple rapist.

I think it would be more interesting if they go a different way with Harry. I also wonder if it might be interesting if Harry appears to be tough but actually Vanessa is the one with the power in the relationship.

They must have some sort of plans for him beyond a few episodes, since even if Vanessa hadn't stayed around Jodie would still be there. I can see him being about 6 months or more. I guess they could always have the old story where he's accidentally killed and Vanessa gets Max to help bury the body (although Max and burials don't go well).

    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
