As good as the episode was, I am torn about the way the flashbacks were done. JD and FH were great in them and they fit what was happening but since they were fabricated solely to fit into this episode, I have to think that original scenes from her pregnancy and Coop's childhood would have been more touching. The fact that they would be more random would only make them more realistic.

I don't think that visual continuity is the most important thing. Are they gonna never show any flashbacks ever again now except for scenes that were shot outdoors like Jeva's Cross Creek wedding that they showed pieces of last summer? That's just plain unnecessary. We all know that GL never looked like it does now until last year. We can deal with the contrast. If the writing remains as good as it's been, we can ignore alot of things.

Liz Keifer interview.

http://1000worlds.wordpress.com/2009/02/17...ew-springfield/

Sounds like she has some good material coming up. I took a long time to get over Sherry Stringfield but I admire Liz Keifer for sticking with GL after the tripe they have given her throughout this decade. Now that Phillip is back Blake should, if GL remembers to use her, be more relevant than ever.

Beth and Coop started having an affair when she went back to school, against Alan's protests, and Coop was tutoring her. When Alan found out about the affair, he blackmailed Beth into re-marrying him by threatening to keep their daughter away from her and having Coop hurt. Even though Beth broke up with him, Coop knew that she was being threatened into the marriage and vowed to stop the wedding. Coop was in a car crash as he was on his way to the church while he was on the phone with a threatening Alan. Phillip, who had just returned to town, was also on his way to the church when he heard the crash. He pulled Coop from the wreck and got him to the hospital. Coop suffered massive brain damage after his heart stopped beating and Buzz had to take him off life-support at the end of Tuesday's show.

Blake began pursuing Coop while encouraging his writing career. Around the same time, insecure Ashlee decided to get a gastric band. She pushed Coop away, and he began sleeping with Blake, then eventually moved on to Beth. I never understood why they broke up. Ashlee even said as much a few days ago.

If Blake ever sleeps with Buzz, that would mean she hit the trifecta in two different families (Spaulding and Cooper). It would also mean she had shared two men with her mother.

That must qualify for some kind of prize. Or professional help.

I love how they had coop know before anyone else that he wasn't going to be around long, telling Frank to help their dad.

AND

they're making it all about Buzz! which is fantastic. GL knows where its bread is buttered and by writing Deas to shine, they're getting the most bang for their buck.

GL IS GETTING ITS SH!T TOGETHER, MAY I SAY IT?!

Alex is back! The relationship between Alex and Phillip was always very special and I'm glad to see them together again.

I liked many of the small moments in today's show (Reva and Buzz, Josh and Buzz). Most soaps don't bother with those now.

They need to do some rehab on Lizzie.

Yay Alex!! :D

And I agree.. I love GL when they have those little moments and have characters move from scenes with one person to another to another... instead of a whole show with interaction with just one other character.

And oh yeah... did I mention...

Yay Alex!!! :D

Now it's time to find Wanda... :huh:

Agreed. But even bigger than that, I liked that sense of community shown today, which I think should always have been a major part of the show. Unfortunately, that's one of the few major downpoints of budget cuts is that we don't see as much of it as we could (and should for a show based on charity and brotherhood). I liked that Mel, Alex (offscreen presumably), Josh, Reva, and Jeffrey (ugh) went to pay their condolences to Buzz.

      Nope, it was not just you, I had the same issues. Most either disagreed with me, or just ignored my comments. But, I most definitely would have liked for them to take another route, even to add sheer variety in the storytelling. It is what it is, the story is a hit with the fans...

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Bright Eyes · Posted

      I've been eagerly awaiting Kate's first episode under the new writers, and I wasn't disappointed. I started reminiscing about all of Kate's misdeeds when she said how good of a liar she was and how she saw right through Roman's lying. I really buy this matured, but still wise Kate in 2025, and the fact that you know under the right circumstances, the more ruthless side is always there, under the surface. Hopefully, with Roman about to confess, we get the full truth about just what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot, then all the major suspects will be eliminated, just for the writers to throw in that wrench that's waiting for it's time to shine. Everytime Brady thaws even a little bit towards Kristen I immediately get concerned. I was entertained by their fight, and it was smart to mention Kirsten having no friends, let alone positive female relationships except for Lani in regards to why Rachel is such a loser. As a viewer, do you think Stacy Haiduk as Kristen was at all thinking about her former friendships with Jennifer and Billie in that moment? I wonder if she's even aware that they were, or who Billie even is. Anyway, I do wish Kristen could have also thrown in Brady's face that he's literally the biggest slut in Salem. Rachel seeing and possibly hearing about him going from woman to woman would also negatively affect Rachel's negative ideals about women, and possibly her own self-hatred. I thought Doug's favourite class being English lit was a good through line from how impressed he was with grandpa Doug's poetry book to Julie. Hearing he dropped out because no one at home cared just made me yearn for more information about Charles LeClair as a father and person. Maybe it was this time that Robert LeClair was dying so Charles was distracted and it all fell apart after that? Alex with Kristen today is the most interesting I've seen him written. He was smarmy and cold and for a quick second looked like he was enjoying playing with Kristen clearly throwing herself at him, but when she dropped her facade he became merciful, but still unwilling to budge. He would have fit in well in the more complex 70s era as a cad with a heart underneath his bravado. However, and I can't stress this enough, I absolutely despise whenever he calls Philip, 'Phil.' It just itches my brain in all the wrong ways.

      Tamara Tunie said on her IG today that the current season of BTG ends at the end of August.  Then Season Two begins. https://www.instagram.com/p/DJkCcNQRxBR/ Edit:  I have more detail, but I'll move that over the the renewal thread

      This is what happens when you write for character over actor.

      I assume Holly is Nicole's kid, right?  If so, the casting on the actress was spot on since she totally had some of Nicole's mannerisms/aura. Kristen is being shown as human again.. which we haven't seen from the character since Eileen's 1 year return back in the early 2010s. Kate is now running the Brady Pub?

      I think most people's knowledge of DNA tests comes from Maury. I dont think she nor most people would even think to consider genetic markers

      Calendar year, at least going by when the Season Numbers have changed in the past several years on GH and on DAYS it's been calendar years. What their start dates are though haven't necessarily made inherent sense to me.  Hmm, interesting point. I'm used to being for underdogs, as well, but I am very invested in the Duprees.
