Loved Petey! His scenes with Adam were the highlight of the show

Oh I wish Zach would just drop KenBitch and divorce her already. Twit is obsessed in the worse way

What was up with Frankie's attitude towards Jesse. That was just rude

Im liking Taylor. I wasnt sold on her before but she's growing on me

Well its not like he hasnt lost a woman he loved to Ryan before

Zach was my hero! (Well, for today anyway...) That man was making so much sense, and trying really hard to get his wife back to reality. But what does Kendall aka Hater do? She denies his honeymoon proposal, calls for a car, leaves her husband at the beach....all because she can't stop obsessing about her friends' love lives. What a dumb bitch.

Petey is LOVE. He's uber-cute! I hope he sticks around for awhile and gets some good story.

I'm enjoying the Jake/Amanda/Taylor story!

The pacing has been amazing - I'm really enjoying Pratt's take on the "don't have to see everything onscreen" thing. For example - today - the show starts with Frankie and Taylor arguing in the hospital. Yesterday's show didn't end with them together...and we didn't have to waste a segment on today's show watching Taylor go to the hospital, find Frankie, make small talk, and THEN get into their fighting. We understood what was going on, and it allowed for more stuff to happen! Loving it!

Since the show is beginning to look up I thought I'd finally stop lurking and post. I really liked the show yesterday and today.

Loved Adam and Petey and thought they were great fun to watch.

I'm not a Ryan or Greenlee fan but (and this will probably be very unpopular) I think Rylee have more chemistry than Ryannie or Ailee. Both characters seem to have much more emotion with eachother than in either of their marriages. Don't think that I'd ever be a fan but CM and RB seem to be selling it.

Jake and Amanda were fun but I'm hesitant to really like them for fear of what they are gonna do to Amanda when they eventually pair Jake and Taylor.

Now for what seems to be a really UO, I felt for Kendall today (and Zach). It became clear to me today that Kendall is doing the over the top meddling because she's scared of something with Zach. She's not doing it to be a brat or to cause trouble, she's scared about facing something with her own marriage. That makes sense to me. Whether you love or hate Zendall, B&E did a number on their marriage since the beginning of crash and there was never any resolution really written for either character. I see the start of that being done now and I'm glad the show is exploring it. JMO

Petey is great! I love that kid!

I like that they're doing the war storyline -- bringing the show back to its roots.

Amanda + Jake = HOTNESS! Loved the Harold mention.

It was fun seeing Aidan punch Ryan.

Kendall is so pathetic these days.

I agree, I like the pacing. I just hope that when the story calls for it that we get some longer scenes and good dialogue to flesh out the story more. But I yes, I agree, we don't need to see everything.

I'm enjoying the new pacing as well. I also liked the fact that characters are showing up halfway or even 3/4 into the episode - like Aidan and Jesse today, for instance.

And now that I think of it, Annie isn't so bad after all. She's so much more fun to watch when she's plotting against people.

I feel bad for Zach. He tries to keep Kendall under control, but she doesn't seem to listen to him at all.

I love the new pacing!

I'm still drooling over shirtless Jake, too. RPG is just so damn hot! He and Amanda were sizzling.

I could see Taylor ending up with Frankie if TPTB realize the Randi storyline isn't working. They have good chemistry, imo.

Pete & Adam were hilarious once again. I love how Pete doesn't back down to Adam's threats.

Ryan & Greenlee suck just as much today as they did when she used to stalk him. I so hope Pratt ends this nonsense soon! That said, I loved seeing Aiden punch Ryan out.

Two characters I used to loathe, Annie & Zach, both have me rooting for them lately. Annie is just so fun as a desperate woman clinging to her husband and Zach was right on target trying to get Kendall to stop interfering in her friends' lives only to have her break his heart by leaving at the end.

Count me as one of those who enjoys slightly demented, scheming Annie. She's much, much funner this way. I also (gasp) enjoying Zach going off on Kendall for putting her boney ass in everybody else's business.

I didn't see tooooo much of today's show, so I missed most of Adam/Petey, so I'm looking forward to seeing them on SOAPnet right now.

Ugh, and for some reason, SOAPnet always seems to screw up when the ABC soaps come on at night. I watch 90210 without a problem and Y&R seems to go by without a glitch, but AMC and OLTL always get messed up.

    • There are no dumb questions here, we've all known each other long enough to fill in information without shaming each other.  We want you to be happy @carolineg.  Your POV as one of the few women here is vital. So, please, I hope you never feel as if any question, idea, or opinion is ever silly or stupid.  Your daily reminders about the realities of manicure and menstrual management has become a part of the personality of this thread. As for Hank, while I'm confident there's a plan in place.  It is frustrating that they announce these casting so far in advance that it is tough as an audience and wait it out until the thing happens.  I'm happy they didn't blow it the second Mike was in town, a week after meeting Liam. So, it is a slow burn.
    • I think his full name is Chadwick.  I remember, back when the previous actor was playing him, someone called him Chadwick a couple of times.  It may have been Stefano.  
    • I didn't like those two sleeping together, but I suuure liked seeing BF in them. Wiggle and all. Just sad about the waxing of the chest.   Same.
    • It’s strange. I wonder if the writers at that time had worked with him somewhere else and had a relationship? That time is murky AF to find info on. Rachel Ames in effect left the show at one point in the early 80’s and she is credited like she was there until JFP. Tristan Rogers also took various contract breaks that were not short, and websites also credit him one long stint from 1981-1992. So many people come and go in short succession in 1982-part of 1983. I know they lost a lot of viewers when Genie left, but the show somehow survived yearly at number one through like sheer force of will.
    • In that way, at least we were fortunate.  The Daniel Pilon/Ron Raines decisions...not so much.
    • Letting Brennan put it in yet again while smirking over his shoulder... any day now! She's got him just where she wants him! I do think ol' Jack will be dead by February at the absolute latest. They have set him up as a counter-heavy to Sidwell, forcing poor Joss to work his next scheme or threatening to have her sent down for treason. Once he croaks I still deeply fear we will be subject to Valentin and Carly, partners in crime to lovers, possibly out to find out 'who killed Jack'. Anna was at her best keeping Sonny at arm's length and often somewhat cold, which she only really did (for better or worse) off and on during Carlivati's tenure. But Finola gradually got too emotional over Sonny, Jason, etc. and was allowed to do that onscreen too much long ago. Mulcahey brought some of that steel back, though Finola still managed to choke or quietly sob through some of that material as Anna found her way there lol. She's a brilliant actress and she did a good job with that stuff in '24, but now we're back to the same old and it humiliates the character whether she knows it or not.
    • Listen, I am all for Laura Wright wearing silly wigs and glasses if there was a point.  So far she's just been nice to Brennan and made out with him.  How evil lol!!  Even though I have been told Brennan loves her the writing was never there.  It's so low stakes.  Carly should maybe talk to her daughter and have an adult conversation instead. Laura and Anna look foolish.  I really don't have an issue with either being friendly or at least having some affection for Sonny.  I don't get both of them wanting to have a parade to announce how much they love him and how valuable the friendship is.  C'mon, Laura basically tolerated Sonny because of Luke until Lulu/Dante got together.  Anna likes Sonny because Robin did?  There really isn't much more of a reason for Anna to give him the time of day besides that.  They aren't lifelong buddies.
    • It is so dumb and is dragging on already after a couple weeks. By the time Carly wraps this up Joss will be running the local branch office. And yes, Laura deserves better. It's like they tripled down on this Sonny apologia stuff with her and Anna after the Mulcahey saga.
