But the problem is not the age difference between DG and Cast, it's the difference between Cane's age and what Phillip's age should have been (since he was SORASed). That fool LML made Cane 32, which deSORASed Phillip III and it's CRAZY to think someone that age would have a son old enough to be in the Arrmy, espeically when we the fans know Phillip III was 19-20 when he died.

OK, I was starting to think the Lauren and Traci scenes were very forced. I should have known that JFE wouldn't let that pass without getting to the history between these two women.

And Tracey Bergman is awesome in these scenes! She was very sincere and I'm feelin it from her totally.

Ooops. Watch out Adam! :(:(

Oh Adam looked like he shitted himself when he found out Victor was back. Sucks to be him right about now.

And I LOVED the Lauren/Sharon scene. Sharon had no right to try and pin Noah's behavior on Eden. Did she forget he was caught with beer after he came from camp, long before he met Eden. And I'm glad Lauren brought up that it was Noah that got arrested. I hate when parents (on TV and IRL) want to make it seem like their kid is so good and only ran astray because of someone else, when really I think in Noah's case it's because Nick and Sharon want to keep the reigns on him so tight because of what happened with Cassie and he's resenting that and will act out.

After the Traci/Lauren discussion on here, I am psyched for BM and TEB's scene today.

Mac feels like the missing piece in the puzzle, though. I would love to see Billy's smoothness profoundly unsettled by Mac's reappearance. A lot of unfinished business there.

Liz Foster. :wub: Dina Mergeron. :wub:

Looking forward to the Newman family fallout. It's been a long time since I could say that. I hope Victor has a go at his pwecious Nick and Fauxtoria, too. Just for being smug little snots generally.

Cat, you will enjoy the Traci/Lauren stuff. It was awesome and perhaps too short, IMHO. I wish his "pwecious" :lol: Nick and Vic would get some of the wrath as well. Somehow, though... :rolleyes:

I see. Thanks, dmarex. It makes sense then they're incorporating Kat's lapses as a reason for her "believing" she's Marge. I really really hope they don't rush her "return" like they did Victor's. Poor Adam only had a week of glory before TGVN waltzed back into town.

You know, you have to give YR credit for having "real women" as real soap heroines, with dimensions and storyline potential, love lives and family. Traci and Nina were never the "pretty ones," in that they were not supermodels or former supermodels, but these girls carried the brunt of the sl for decades at a time. The scenes recently show and prove that. The characters were real, audiences loved them. Not everyone has to be twig or a stick in soap towns.

There is so much right with this soap, I don't know why I haven't fallen in love until so recently.

Isn't it sad when other "regular" women are used for comedic relief soley, or are charachtures ie: Ashlee on GL, Marcie for a long time on OLTL.

    •  Yeah, he is still dressed like Martin. He looks great, though.  Cute picture. Sober up, cause we need the tea.
    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
