Since I have this week on tape it sounds like the best thing to do is to skip everyone but Chloe. How did this show go from good to bad so fast?

The execution on the show for the past two weeks has been terrible, and it doesn't help that people like Lily, Colleen, Cane, Daniel and Amber were the main focus. The show is in transition again, and I get the feeling that Josh Griffith stopped caring (not that he cared before) how a lot of this stuff came through on screen. It had to be hard knowing your ass is being replaced but still have to work on the job.

But I also see they're building some stories as well, like Jack vs. Victor round 124566, the reestablishment of the Abbots, and trouble at Jabot. A lot of seeds seemed to have been planted this and last week, and this week is much better than last week IMO.

You mean Oct. 3, or Oct. 10? :) That is definitely something to tune in for! :lol:

Now I see why a certain other thread was created lol

You should watch it all and decide for yourself. :D Sometimes, the message boards can mess with what you really enjoy, what you tolerate and what you actually dislike about the show.

that's the best line of the morning.

The party thing was interesting---I actually like where it seems they are going with this, and the bigger issues of Noah and being in the shadow of Cassie.

I'm SOO uber looking forward to more Billy and Chloe. This is just perfect.

Glad someone finally put Colleen in her place, and I love it was Chloe saying everything that I'd been thinking all week.

I'm glad Colleen at least decided to drop the job thing. It means that there is still some part of the old Colleen there.

I LOVED Chloe handing Colleen her ass yesterday. I mean Chloe said EVERYTHING that was needed to be said to Colleen, regardless of the fact that Chloe schemed her way into Cane's life. I mean what kind of best friend worth her salt would first start dating her best friend's EX-HUSBAND and then take the job said best friend just quit.

    • Yikes -a Cane/Phyllis sex scene. Why was there no warning before this episode aired? And of course Phyllis had sex with her bra on.  Had to laugh when Cane, trying to think of Phyllis' password to sneak into her laptop, talks out loud so we (and she) can be clued into what's happening. What is Phyllis' financial standing? At one point she was wealthy enough to run a hotel-which she gave up in an instant(can't remember why-some inane reason) Now she's scrounging around for a job with Cane. The many residents of the GCAC who are living in hotel rooms don't seem to do anything to personalize their space-no photos, books etc. The GCAC must have a strict policy on that. Nikki did look good today. Still find her hairstyle a little dowdy though. 
    • Then 87 is the year you're looking for. Vanessa leaves town in Jan 88. When I saw Jenny counseling Dinah about George making the pass at her, all I could think was that Van would be pissed Ross' latest fling was advising her daughter. Cop or not. 
    • As much as I hate Phyllis, seeing Billy Flynn in those boxers briefs in today's episode, has me almost tolerating her. BF looks

    • Dear sweet June, you'll get it right eventually.  In the meantime it's a good chuckle.

    • Damn, Leslie went in on Shanice... poor girl! Leslie really can't handle stress or certain emotions well, she lashes out. I also think it's weird she wants to know so many details about Eva's love/sex life. Vernon was sweet to June. It was nice (realistic) to see a customer complain to her though while she's still trying to establish herself. I'll be that guy, but for me personally, my enthusiam/excitement over the show has stalled yet again over the last couple weeks. For the majority, it seems like we're in a holding pattern until Winterfest. It's like they don't want to rock the boat or do much until then, which leaves us in a quiet period here. Are sweeps a thing still these days? Seems odd that we're having a slow November. That ending was good, but I saw that coming... in theory it should have a quick resolution, but I'm guessing Leslie will expose it at Winterfest and it'll get throw out of proportion haha.
    • Yes. Why? I don't really care. Vanessa is also acting dumb, trying to run between tables, on a date with Ross in one room and a business meeting with Alan in another.  One of the few times Van is written as less than the smart woman she was. 
    • I've been specifically looking for the episodes for Ross and Van together, because they essentially both raise Dinah at that period and the recaps around her typically avoid the Dorie years, the carnies, or Alan-Michael and Cam. I'm really just trying to trace a throughline between Paige, Wendy, and Gina. The last two are "easy," but it just messes with my timeline when Dinah thinks Alan-Michael would kill Ross. Then again, that Alan-Michael slept with his own stepdaughter, so...
    • Anyway...they literally mentioned the secret room today on Days and yes, this show needs a Kristen lesbian story lol.
    • Yes, they did a 'premiere' of Maggie's death episodes at the ArcLight theatre in Los Angeles, arguably then the nicest movie theatre chain in the USA. Plus, Suzanne and Deidre were in a ton of scenes together during this time. Whatever happened between them happened after 2004.
    • There are episodes with Jenny (Mary Ellen Stuart) that she was in pre-writers strike.. and I know that she lasts until at least August 1988. It's a shame that the show didn't try pairing her with Rusty since the two had more chemistry than she had with Ross and that he had with Rose.
