I loved the ending with the lawyer. Just pure soap opera at it's greatest. Ashley being upset and running to Victor. Did you guys see the GLEAM in Jack's eyes when Colleen mentioned the board meeting? You could practically hear the gears turning in his head as he thought about the possiblities....

And the music that was playing...does anyone know where I can get that piece? I have no idea where to even begin. The piece I'm referring to is the melody/tune that they played immediately as Ashley told Victor that she would take the seat on the Newman Board. And it continued throughout the last scene between Colleen and Jack. So if anyone knows where I can find it I'd love to get it.

I'm loving Abby now. Brad's death has definitely humanized her and I just love the b. Love her and Colleen tight bond as sisters.

Sharon Case is a wonder to watch. It's amazing how funny she is as Sharon Abbott. And slutty/drunk Sharon is must see tv. Billy never looked sexier.

Few random thoughts....Cane as a father is so difficult to watch that I want to bang my head against the door. His cooing to the baby and his words with Bill just boiled my blood.

third that one. SERIOUSLY they need to be kept far away. Let Lane have their back burner happiness.

The Colleen twist--I don't know, it seems like a bad version of Melanie's business venture on DAYS. Seriously, it once again seems to come out of no where for the character and a flip. I am looking forward to seeing it play out, of if it will really just become a mute point after a while.

I am so glad that we still have Jack and Sharon as friends. There's something so tragic and human I love about them together it all works. And I didn't think I would like this Sharon story as much--the halo being a little tarnished works for me.

I don't want Cane and Lily to be backburner'd, because they have this quality that makes many want to hate them

I don't think you have to worry about them being on the back burner they have plenty of fans who love them. Although MAB would like to trash most everything LML related, the woman isn't stupid.

I've always liked and defended Cane but this week has shown up some of Daniel Goddard's limitations. Next to a powerhouse like Billy Miller? Billy Miller showed he can do understated, that he doesn't have to hog a scene which isn't his. BM has owned ALL of this week thus far. OWNED it.

I think DG can definitely work on this -- after all, Joshua Morrow was once a himbo, and he has improved in leaps and bounds. But MAB also needs to rebuild the character of Cane from the ground up and infuse new life into an underwritten foil for Lily. Now is the perfect time to do it.

Oh, just wanted to big up two actors who came back from a short hiatus this week: Melody Thomas Scott and Chris Engen. It was great to see Nikki again, to see her deal so maturely with Ashley and TGVN, and to reunite with Paul. And Adam? Seething with anger and resentment? Going toe-to-toe with the Tache? Loves it.

I'm glad MAB has him in a holding pattern but I hope she brings him back soon. This is exactly the kind of troublemaker needed on the canvas. Just so he can piss off Prickolas and Fauxtoria. LOL, I loved the way he used to get Prick all "Don't push me, boy" and riled up.

This week feels like a bunch of SLs have either turned a corner or are beginning to take shape. And many have sprung from fallout over the past month or so. Cool!

    • 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.
    • Wait - so no Will, Jack, or Jen at John's funeral? That’s just weird. What was the point of bringing them back then? Did Julie and Maggie even show up? I mean, seriously.
