The only noteworthy thing about the Jessica Walter episode was that this helped jump start Diana's obsession with NYC and fashion designing..reasons provided when she moves there at the start of season 6.

Looking at the Paige character...wouldn't it have made more sense if Annie Fairgate have been on instead of Paige?  Other then Paige's brief fling with Michael..every other story given to Paige could have been given to Annie instead.

Season 4 still really holds up (and yes, Ciji is still singing). They're coming up on "Abby's Choice" in a bit. It's very comforting to pop in and out on the show live.

It's gonna suck to only get in a few S7 eps on Sunday as I have no intention of bingeing all night (though it's happened before with Knots!). I hope on demand happens fast.

I have been enjoying watching when I can, I almost wish I could call in sick when we hit season 5.

The episode I watched this morning was such an interesting hybrid- the one with Diana’s kidney transplant. It felt like the original seasons but was clearly also in the transition period the show fully dives into with season 5 with intrigue stories, and Greg’s arrival.

I don’t think they would make a good swap at all. Paige had the monied background and Anne being a thorn in Karen’s side works better with a husband still alive. I do not see Annie as a good fit at Summer at all. Lotus Point I could see though.

I do think Annie would have made a great foil to Paige though, something she really lacked in her age range.

Such a maximum impact character. Cast Ciji wrong and it doesn’t really work. But she had chemistry with everyone and it helped set up things beautifully. When watching again I noticed how much she fits better than Ginger or Kenny ever did. Totally get why they brought her back as Cathy.

Season 4 retained the original 'Scenes of the Marriage' concept/atmosphere mixed with the soapy attributes it became known for later on.

Kenny/Ginger were actually used to great effect with Kenny/Gary partnering up to help Cijii.. with Ginger feeling neglected in work and life by Kenny.  Abby/Gary made a great power couple.

Richard/Laura's marital issues come to a head when another venture by Richard fails as Laura continues to be supportive yet thriving in her role in real estate.  Mixed in with the pseudo triangle with Cijii when Laura/Cijii become emotionally close with Richard left out again.

Val finally having enough of being strung along by Gary in the first half season 4 was awesome... and I kind of understood her backside a bit when it came to Gary.

Karen finally getting closure in regards to Sid, plus her new relationship/marriage to Mac is a new lease on life for the character.. and we start to see her character start to morph into the know it all without a sense of humor that we become accustomed to in later seasons.

@titan1978 I think Annie could have come back.. but the show thought Diana and later Paige filled the role of the wayward rebellious daughter role.  Annie at Lotus Point would have been interesting.

Lastly, seeing season 1 through 3.. it is so apparent that Val and Gary were not going to make it as a couple.  Gary was too hot and cold.. while Val was too clingy... and Gary wanted more while Val just wanted a typical suburban life.

I often think Gary loved both Abby and Val because of the functions that both gave to him.  Abby encouraged him to not wallow in his self-doubt while Val was supportive of him whenever he failed.

    • I wonder if less set use was preparing for the move. They probably were preparing for this for awhile now 
    • The early part of the season is decent. After that, Season 9 is probably one of the worst seasons until season 13. Season 10 is a little worse.    That would have made sense, even if it cost us one of my favorite scenes (Ben putting Lilliemae in a headlock). That's an excellent storyline and leads to the show's last strong season finale. 
    • The TVC Studio 31 that they used for 38 years was only about 13,730 sq ft., according to the TVC website specs: https://televisioncityla.com/stages-offices/ Sunset Las Palmas Studios has 11 sound stages, which go up to 20,000 sq ft., though we're yet to learn which of those sound stages will house B&B. Depending on which one, the specs for it can be found here: https://www.sunsetstudios.com/los-angeles/las-palmas-studios/ Sound Stages 4, 5 and 9 are available for use starting September 1, 2025. It's unclear if either of those stages would be used by B&B since they begin production there starting Tuesday, August 19, 2025, which would be before the date shown on the website, but we shall see. Of those three sound stages, only Sound Stage 4 and 5 make sense since they are larger than the specs the show had at TVC, while 9 is quite smaller.  Sound Stage 4 would be the best option overall for B&B since it has 18,819 sq ft., the largest individual sound stage at the lot - Stage 3 and Stage 8 share space, which combined makes the space 19,900 sq ft. --- Forgot to add, unless there was an issue with storing the sets, the changes at TVC should have had no issue with production on the show, resulting in fewer set use as there has been no movement in terms of construction that would impact either show (B&B/Y&R). Of the 2-3 times I've been at the studio, the most recent for Don Diamont's 40 years at CBS, it was the most dead I had ever seen the space, but that could be due to vacations, holidays, or the preparation of the B&B move.
    • I didn't post about it in the BtG thread as I still don't watch the show (an hour runtime is just too much for me right now with a new soap I can't just mostly skip through) but I can't imagine the ego of someone who is hired as a breakdown writer and decides to [!@#$%^&*] their own name all over the show. Classless beyond belief. Any writer who cares more about masturbatory behavior than quality of work should not be hired.
    • Yeah, it would've made things more tightly woven.
    • I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.
    • I didn't even think of roasters from GH

      Maybe this roast will take even more than two years
    • Irna wasn't involved with ATWT at the time of Neil's death, was she? I'm imagining a situation where right after his latest doctor's appointment, he's killed.
    • The Cruise of Deception was the first thing that came to mind when I mentioned that Brady might take after that side of the family 
    • We all knew that TT is busy so if she's off screen for a bit except for phone calls and/or visits.. then it is what is. Ashley was nicely used as support... which the writers should have been doing since day 1 so that viewers could understand why exactly she's on the show LOL Chelsea/Madison.... seems too good to be true... we shall see. Shanice as a PT... if it means more airtime.. I'm good.
