LOL I came on here to say the exact same things you said :lol: I liked it but something is amiss... maybe an emotional core?

I cannot believe that somebody like Victor Webster was chosen to be gay. Just look at Kevin from BROTHERS & SISTERS... That's the look they usually go for gay characters (completely ridiculous). Finally, something fresh.

Colin & Ashlee work, but God is she bad or what?

That's awesome news! Should be fun. Amanda as

is just inspired. Can't wait to see that!

Somewhere you know Lisa Rinna is pulling her hair out. The show is bringing back everyone but her and she's the one thats actually been campaigning to make a return

LOL...the show should just get rid of them and give the originals contracts...j/k. I really hope they address Amanda coming back from the dead and not in jail bc she ended the show going on the run for murder. I hope they dont ignore her ending the way they did with Sydney

Whoops, spoke to soon. Just got my answer

Great episode tonight.

Violet is a fuckin nutjob, I love it! Ashlee Simpson's crazy ass facial exp​ressions are hilarious.

I like Riley more with Auggie, Jonah's starting to get on my nerves a little bit. I do enjoy his scenes with Ella though and felt bad for him when she told him the other director was taking credit for the video.

Loved the Michael/Syd flashbacks(lol at his hair in the first one) and the David/Michael/Lauren scenes. I just love Michael period! WTF at him having files on all the MP residents old and new.

Can't wait for next weeks episode with Jane as the new landlord(glad Josie grew her hair out again, she looks so much hotter with it longer) and Violet acting even more psycho.

Oh and I'm happy Locklear's returning. Her scenes with Katie Cassidy should be fun!

His hair was all wrong bc it was not that bad in season 5/6...lol. I liked the attention to detail bc Syd's was much redder then

I hope Violet is the killer so they can write her off. I gave AS the benefit of the doubt after she was slammed in the first episode bc she wasnt on for much, but we've seen a bit more of her now and she is easily the weakest of the cast. The acting sucks and she's not that appealing

Jane promo! My god, I got so excited. My favorite character is back! I cant wait to see her and I wonder if she will show up with Michael's kid. Dang I just realized the guy has 4 kids. I think they should make Jane's a girl bc it would be overkill for a 4th son

LOL I know! Her facial expressions are so bad it's funny.

I really wish they would stop having Jonah/Riley fight and then make up at the end of the episode. I like that they're not rushing Jonah's rise to stardom - him not getting credit was a good twist.

I LOL at Michael's hair too. :lol: And yay to Lauren getting into the mix with David/Michael. That's what I love about this show - the character interaction has been amazing....unlike another show!

I was intrigued by that too! Man, I love the mysteries that are being set up.

It's a shame the ratings aren't a bit better because it's way better than season 1 of MP 1.0.

Also, I love the directing on this show - that low angle shot at the end of the video shoot with Jonah/Ella was pretty good. I like looking at things like that. LOL

Ella is so much fun! Loved what we saw of her in episode 3. It's great that they got Lauren mixed up with David and Michael... she is probably my favorite, alongside Ella, and this storyline spells doom. Jonah not getting credit was painful and I loved the ending: What the hell is Michael doing with all that stuff?

The whole Sydney plot doesn't make sense at all. When Sydney died on the original show, Michael didn't attend her wedding because he was admitted into hospital after a fight with Peter Burns. His hands were badly hurt and he had bandages around both hands. Peter then tried to strangle Michael. How could he have faked Syd's death at the same time?

Since when did Jane become such a bitch? Josie Bissett looked stunning, though. But I thought her nose looked somehow different (...)

Having Jane on and not having her in any scenes with Michael and Sydney was a such waste.

The other storylines are rather bland and predictable. Ella gets on my nerves more and more.

I hate that they are bringing on old favorites for these newbie brats to disrespect. I didnt like what they did with Jane. I always pictured her actually ending up with a succesful career but she's still struggling to try and make it. And where is her kid with Michael? I hope she didint miscarry.

haha, I guess you forgot her in the first series. Jane has a history of being a bitch as she wasnt always innocent. She was only really all good and sweet in the first season. She gained an edge in season 2 and was a complete bitch by season 4. Season 5 had her go overboard and had her become a psychotic bitch. She came back a bit calmer in season 7 but was back to being bitchy towards the end with Amanda. Here's a clip of Jane vs Amanda in the final episodes

I loved badass Jane. It was great to see Josie again. I had a huge crush on her in junior high - she was my first Melrose chick I was into. LOL I too wanted to see her in scenes with Michael, maybe that'll happen in upcoming episodes.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
    • For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
    • My question was basically is Dani the only character to have a bedroom? And then the response was Jacob and Naomi ONLY have a bedroom as their set .
