OMG, I almost barfed when Collen showed up at Daniel's door and stripped. WTF??? The writers should never ever spring that on the viewers. We need some preparation for that nauseating pair. I CANNOT STAND COLLEEN AND DANIEL!! FOR THE LIFE OF ME, GET THEM OFF THE MOFO SCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!

And I wish it was Leon in with the rest of the Abbot kids. <sigh>

And I must say Judith isn't as annoying she was anymore. I like her subtle. I hope that continues.

I must ask why didn't the camera show all of Tammin's body? I don't understand the total G rating soaps are getting these days. Last week, when Vail and Chris were in bed, they showed all of her, too much actually. What the hell was up with them not showing any of Tammin? Was that the actresses choice? Why are these actresses so prudish? I miss the days of post-coital sweat and gratuitous sex.

And I must say, none of the younger cast of guys are HOT! What happened to casting hunks? Sure, the Y&R guys are great actors but soaps are supposed to be about escape. If I want to see Emmy-caliber regular joes, I can watch 24 and Heroes.

Word on both accounts. I was SOOOO grossed out and confused by Friday's scenes--and then left to wonder, what the heck happened to Colleen.

And yea, I'm SOO looking forward to a chem test or scenes or whatever with BM and EH--that's got potential to rock!

Never going to happen, you're biasness for Colleen and the actress who plays her is getting in your way.

From the way the story is written, it clearly favours Daniel and Amber as the core couple and Colleen as the outsider. Daniel and Amber's emotions and longing to be together is what's making it on screen, nothing about Colleen's feelings are being delved into. Colleen is lucky they're giving her this, because they obviously hate writing anything for her that's her own.

I am a vocal supporter of TS but I'm not so biased towards her that I can't see straight if that's what you're implying.

You're probably right. I hope when this storyline is over they either bring in someone new for Colleen or just put her with Devon. I still hope they don't waste Billy on Chloe though.

I disagree. I think her lack of air time in the first half of this year can be attributed to the fact that the writers didn't like the Adrian Korbel character (and who could blame them?) and while Colleen was tied to him, she had to join him on the backburner. The writers have focused on Colleen much more since she dumped Adrian.

I'm going to remain optimistic that Tammin will soon get her "defining" story, as Meryl Adrianne had with "Cadrian".

Ha. I disagree..

Here is the thing. She was amazing in that role. She fit in in an instant. She was an Abbott and played every ebat of that char. her style actually fit Y&R. She had chem with everyone. She took over a widly popular role from an actress who was loved by Y&R fans, and it worked.

Then she got fired because of her weight. It was wrong. And fans were pissed. However, i do not think that would stand in the way of accepting a recast that was at least as good as AL if not better. Many people do not like TS. Either because they feel she is a bad actress. because she just doesnt fit in the role. because she lacks chem. because of whatever. They do.

People are not out to get her. They dont blame her for the situation, they just dont like her. Its that simple.

Inf act the exact same thing goes for DS/CK.

These arguments and insults post to post all around are really stupid and pointless. People feel how they feel, and a little respect BOTH ways would go a long way...

That said i actually like Daniel & Colleen, However the chem between MG & AF is off the charts and they must get back together.

ITA. Seeing Daniel with Colleen after the Amber storyline feels like a nightmare.

It's not Sursok's fault she ended up getting the role that nobody wants to see her in. It's Lynnie's fault. Same thing happened with Sabine Singh on AMC. She just can't fit in.

I think she was an okay actress, though I didn't see the so-called chemistry between her and Eyal Podell that everyone raved on about. And I didn't like the out-of-character bitchiness she brought to the role. But what I detested more than anything else about AL's Colleen was her annoying voice. She sounded very babyish and she mumbled and whispered all the time. (At least Lyndsy and Tammin can enunciate.)

That was never confirmed or proven.

I don't mind Tammin as an actress. I simply hate her as Colleen because she hasn't emulated Fonseca or Leon or tried to reinvent Colleen. She's simply taken the writing as it is, which is fine, most actors do that.

If Tammin had come to the show as an independent character I bet we'd like her. It's that she's Colleen and yet she's NOT Colleen which is the major problem.

That said, loving this week. Jeanne Cooper was great outside Victor's house.

      6-5   Case in point...lol.   Kat and Jacob can soooo have a spinoff. Just watching her being adamant that Eva is up to no-good while Jacob continues to try to play straight man to the craziness continued to be a hoot to watch. And the sad part is that Kat is on the right trail, just following the wrong clues. Or worse coming to the wrong conclusion. All because of her dislike for Eva.    Meanwhile, Eva continued to make inroads. I know I have said this since the start of the show, but I love how for the most part, the writers write the characters in gray. Not completely white. Not completely black. Most of the characters have moments where they resonate with the audience and then have moments where they are unlikeable. Like technically, Eva should be a pariah. I like that she knows this, understands this, and still shows remorse and still tries to work to get back the lost trust. It makes her so rootable. And played by a star is a bonus.

       It is also what makes the rivalry between Eva and Kat so much fun to watch. Also played by a star. Neither one is perfect really, but they are oh so watchable and a nice by-product of the SilkPress storyline.    Same for Anita. I love the regal coldness TT has given to the role. The sense of ruthlessness beneath the beautiful face. And yeah it can be a turn-off. And it's been nice to see a softer side to her throughout this story of her and her bandmates. She is far from perfect. She...is also NOT a doormat so it was great to watch her versus her bandmates this episode.    I like the run-in between NuTed and Nicole. I'm getting used to NuTed. And Nicole's presence has been a little too light for my liking. I can only assume that is to build to the next Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila confrontation which rumor has it will be another good one.    Speaking of which...LAURA IS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL!!!! Praise it be!!! And I thought it was so adorable that Nicole, Kat, and Mona were on hand to welcome her back. I liked that Laura has an open mind toward Eva (unlike her feelings toward SilkPress). Another layer to add to the Eva vs Kat rivalry.

      Victoria Principal clearly stacked her Dallas coins real good. In the grand scheme of things, she was smart to walk away from Dallas when she did.

      When Robert Calhoun became EP I thought GL was finally hitting its stride after some pretty rough years. Unfortunately the ratings during Robert Calhoun's run did not reflect the quality of the show.

      There was a five week break between the last Friday episode and the Thursday episodes which were the final four episodes. I have a feeling the final four episodes were refilmed to wrap up the storylines.

      Yes, I forgot there was a gap between his exit from GL and his start at ATWT. This almost makes me want to cry. He really turned ATWT around (and good for them). It would have been great if someone had done the same for GL. Can't imagine who. The Dobsons were doing Santa Barbara at this point. I mainly blame Kobe. She may not have been the worst EP they ever had, but she almost totally destroyed the Bauers and decimated much of the rest of the cast, sometimes for egotistical reasons. That was a huge mistake and made it that much harder for the show to recover.

      Douglas Marland began at As the World Turns in September 1985 but it took about a year for his run to show growth in the ratings. 1986 As the World Turns becomes CBS's #2 daytime drama after Y&R.

      This is not at all surprising. Watching the recently uploaded episodes, the uneveness is SO apparent. Characters are changing at the drop of a hat. The stories are close to incoherent. It's a mess, and we're only up to May. What a fall from grace. An Emmy-winning show with good ratings and within a few short years hitting possible cancelation territory.  I'm surprised CBS and/or P&G didn't try to do SOMETHING to restore its former glory. Was Marland still at ATWT at this point?

      I think she did, yes. The only part of that return I remember appreciating was the ripoff they did of Earrings of Madame De, where a secretly broke India sold a trinket and Ross or Alan (I think it was Ross) then bought it for her, not knowing it was hers.

      6-4   Getting around to the rewatching and I guess Dani/Bill/Hayley as A story is coming around better to me. I hope that means that I will feel different about Friday's episode which first time around I felt was more of a Wednesday/Thursday episode. Anita's story and Dani/Bill/Hayley (with Kat vs SilkPress being a solid B plot to keep the SilkPress storyline alive, but NOT A story) have been the focus for this past week. So I'm worried I'll feel a way when I get back to Friday's episode. I guess I'm about to find out.   I know I have issues with Dani/Bill/Hayley coming back into focus since the much better paced SilkPress storyline is truly where it's at with so much aftermath/new direction to explore. However, I'm finding that...just like with the story of Martin's secret being slowly woven back into the story narrative...I care a little bit more for it since it's been background since Week 3, Month 1. IMHO the characters...outside of Hayley...have been developed in other plots. The past week and a half has had Dani and Andre growing closer and they have gotten to the 'third month what are we?' talk that I expect in all relationships in real life. And I liked how the writers have slowly had friction between them to see what they are made of? Is it still just a booty call or can it be more? Meanwhile, Bill has been hiding his physical issues for months. Too busy messing with other people's marriages.

          So now that they have some more POV to them, it was good to see an organic...and yes, it was organic...reason for them to be in the same room. In this case...the hospital room. Lord, Karla and Timon have such great chemistry. And Dani and Bill were so acting like exes. No wonder Hayley feels threatened. Oh, well. lol. Bonus...the drama with Bill has Hayley and Naomi back in each other's orbit. They don't have enough scenes together.    You all know I was waiting for Anita's story. So how am I feeling? Pretty good. TT has been playing it to the hilt. And I was not expecting the story of a fourth member who killed themselves after being pushed out. And it's had a build. First through Tracy. And now with Sharon...who is swiftly being established as a piece of work. A Have-Not (if not Has-Been) who is not above scheming. Okay. lol. I liked the conversation between Anita and Vernon where she told him the truth, and he tried to hold her up. Whether she deserved it or not, it was good to see. I'm sure all of the secrets are not out yet so I look forward to more. Cuz we know they are not cancelling the reunion. Which fingers crossed...will be at the police fundraiser.     Honestly, I continued to be impressed with how the writers have kept Silk Press Sheila out of jail, but still playing the beats of it all. She's definitely in covering her tracks mode, and it's great to watch. It's also great to see her mixing it up with different characters. I was happy to get the long-awaited showdown between her and Nosy Nurse and Nosy Nurse READ...HER...DOWN. I was just disappointed Nosy Nurse spilled some tea. And that led to SilkPress's scene with Andre. And then Andre...lord...talked too much.   C plot this episode has been Chelesa's love life. I was wondering where it was going to go after her talk with Vernon. Enter...Mystery Woman. I wonder what her secret would be that would get in her way with Chels. Related to an enemy of the Duprees? Married? I am intrigued. And I do like Chelesa getting the spotlight because daytime does not really do it like how they are doing it with her.    Can Kat and Jacob get a spinoff? lol.
