What kind of lame-ass party is Noah going to? Parents? Soda? Is this a high school party or a middle school birthday party at the roller skating rink? :lol:

And I'm glad they're recasting Abby. It wouldn't have been believable to see a teenage Noah, and Abby still being played by Dary Rose Byrnes.

Chloe's face when she found out Billy was coming over...priceless! Squirm, baby, squirm! That was the brightest spot on the show today. I could not care less about Phyllis writing a mean letter about Sharon and Jack. Why? Because no real high-fashion magazine would ever do something like that. It wreaks of contrivance.

And I hope we're not going to get another teen scene plot. Those really bore me. When they were in the warehouse the only thought in my head other than "boring" was "is this the same warehouse that Paul kept Sheila in?" Anyway - Eden is a bust and this new family thing for the Balwin's is kinda lame. Does anyone think that River is really going to go to jail?

That said..it's wayyyyyyyy better than anything else on daytime.

Erin, who plays Eden, her site has her upcoming airdates listed, and at first, it was only listed through the 3rd of October, so everyone assumed she was done then.

She's recurring--and it seems that she's getting some better directions, the scenes this week have been good.

SOOOO on team Chloe.

This isn't the story I would have picked for Michael and Lauren and the girl who plays Eden still has a ways to go but I do think she has chemistry with both Christian Le blanc and Tracey Bregman. The scenes of Lauren and Michael dealing with a rebellious teen are pretty typical of soaps, but I just love the way CLB and TEB interact and act off of each other. They have had some good scenes this week. And the boy who plays their son is a real kick.

When I watch how Nick and Phyllis interact as a couple semi discussing issues it just feels so contrived and awkward and seems to inevitably ends in bad flirting or sex. Michael and Lauren's discussions just feel so much more real, although it wouldn't kill the show to give them an uninterupted romantic scene once in awhile. I have to say although I was never a big fan of Sharon and Nick at least their scenes feel like real parents worrying too much about their teen son because they lost his teen sister.

I don't like self destructive and petty Phyllis but if it frees her from her marriage schackles I'm all for it. I used to love Phyllis, but now she just irritates me. Michelle Stafford is too good to be stuck in this boring marriage.

Oh, I know but she was usually more interesting in her self destructive mode and I could understand and sometimes even sympathize with her. Now she just comes off as petty, jealous, insecure and vindictive. She is not likeable at all, and I used to really like Phyllis. She was genuinely funny and smart. Now she is neither.

On another note. I just loved Chloe's scenes with Colleen. She just totally dominated the acting in that scene and it felt like she was just playing with dumb Colleen. Her line about Colleen wanting Lily's life and the next step would be to get Neil to adopt her made me LOL.

    • Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate
