Such a nice and surprising treat seeing Doris at the end of today's episode. I had no idea she was even coming back. At first, I thought Sharon was in a hotel room, just talking to herself, but then she kept going and going. At that point, I knew she had to be talking to someone. I thought about Doris, at first, but then I didn't remember seeing anything about her coming back, so I thought it was Nikki. But then I felt that would be kind of weird, Sharon pouring her heart out to Nikki about Brad, and then the camera panned down to Doris. Wonderful ending!

I saw no improvement in Tammin and she's a major weak link in this story. Forget her mediocre acting, but she's still severely miscast. She doesn't have romantic chemistry with any guys on the show nor does she share chemistry with her parents. Then as she gets upset her accept comes out more and more. Her body movement and everything seemed off in her scenes opposite Braeden. It was brave to put her up against him, but completely forgettable as well.

I've been most impressed with Beth Maitland and how well she fits into the show. Shame Brad is dead because that would be the perfect love interest for her. I'd been saying that for a long time, but now he's dead. Loved her interactions with everyone, especially Victor. She seemed slightly annoyed with him, but she smiled because she's polite and for Ashley's sake. I love how short she was with him. Everyone doesn't need to love and worship Victor and I like that the writers are acknowledging that these days.

I try to avoid the younger crowd on soaps, but I can't help but wonder how different Lindsey Fonseca would have played those scenes. Wasn't that crazy about Adrienne Leon, but Fonseca was a great Colleen.

I agree and it was the same figurine Victoria was admiring before right? It was very random. I was expecting someone to say something. Oh Sharon, I will enjoy watching you unravel bit by bit.

I think a cardboard cutout at this point would suffice ahead of Tammin.... so bad, so incredibly bad..... to see her even attempt to try and go toe to toe with Eric Braeden was just beyond cringe worthy....

    • Dina was Jack, Ashley and Tracy's mom on Y&R.  Joanna was Lauren Fenmore's mother, played by Susan Seaworth-Hayes.
    • The funeral was not onscreen - only the Brooks returning home after the service. Not aware of any available clips.
    • Very very well said!!!

      I would only add that Sam Ratcliff is frequently named in regards to certain AW comedic turns.  And, we know from Carolyn Culliton (tweet 2024) that Sam & Gary put their heads together & came up with that gorilla.  
    • I knew you would be so excited seeing your girl Brookey as #1!!!! She also WINS as to Frequently Married!!!  
    • Yes, Stacy does this both for early DAYS & early GH. I have written some for her, for DAYS. But just one tiny point & that is that she only deals with DVDs. I realize that is not the point of your posting but it seemed the right thing to clarify. I know that you know that video tapes is past, not present.
    • Hahahha I think sleeping with almost all of your daughters's boyfriends and husbands and getting pregnant... definitely gives Brooke the right to top 1 place. Long live the whore of Beverly hills.

    • CurlyQGrl has DVDs of some episodes, that they can sell, but that doesn't matter. What is helpful: they describe the scenes on the tapes, so you can read that as recaps without ordering anything. Doesn't really give storylines, though, which is what you asked for.  Here's the links anyhow. full menu https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/menu.html GH page https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/menu.html GH 1960s https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/eps/gheps1960s.htm
    • I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons. 
    • I'm excited for us to get back to a full weeks worth of episodes and also us beginning to move into the episodes filmed once the show premiered. We're already starting to see changes in the lighting and the way certain characters are styled. Of course we know this week we have our first recast as well. After the big Eva reveal, I hope the show continues to move into a positive direction and that we see them starting to fix some of the things we've all had issues with.
