McPain. ha. This Jack is great.

Interesting show today, it is 4 different scenes of parent/child conversations, with the exception of Stacy and Schyler.

And how many times is the name Gigi said per episode? Its gotta be in the 50-100 range.

And news alert, i saw the beginning of a tear in Farah's eye when Viki hugged her.

Stacey/Sky (msp). I think I like them in scenes together. Stacey is one of those character who will eventually stop being evil, and I kind of look forward to that (hopefully OLTL doesn't use rape for once) while sort of enjoying the current evil. I don't watch OLTL every day, so I'm not as sick and tired of the troublemaking as I would be if I did.

Little Todd amuses me. The kid. Todd being a shamelessly "bad" father amuses me too.

Maybe someone at ABC gets royalties every time they say the name Gigi. :lol:

Reminds me of the episode were Téa was trying to talk Todd into letting her represent him.... she kept saying "yet again" or something like that over and over again.....no for a second time, or anything like that....just the same line again, and again, and again.

This Jack is great.....if you look closely at him, he kind of looks like Roger Howarth a little in the face.

And why can't Viki be telling this stuff to Charlie.....I know that Moe has known Gigi longer, but still...Viki should be confiding in Charlie.

You know, if TPTB wanted to, they could easily include Viki in a front burner storyline.

Since ABC is going to be doing recession type storylines.....why not have Viki back at The Banner again? They could have her dealing with the paper's declining circulation, and having to compete against Todd and The Sun.

I think this would work, because there have been several big name newspapers across the country that have either ceased or drastically scaled back production in recent months due to declining sales.

The minute I saw Moe, I thought the same thing!!! It is clear to me that Brian Kerwin is expensive or something. He is on 2 times a month. He may be another that is recurring but called contract. Its the only thing that makes sense.

This show is fighting so hard to be good and you can feel the push pull of the corporate side.

Crap....ABC interrupted the closing credits of OLTL too, which sucks because on Friday's they always show the cast list, including day players and everything (which helps me with my episode counts). And no one ever includes them in the episodes posted on Youtbue. <_<

And wow....they only interrupt about 20 seconds of GH. Imagine that. :rolleyes:

Well I'm not a fan of hers and her looks and acting style do her no favors as far as making her appear older and a "sexual creature".. its very odd watching her undressing down to her underwear.

I respect Ron/Frank for appreciating the show's history enough to let the audience watch kristen grow up before our eyes, but like Mendorra, it is sometimes best to cut your losses and move on.

You know, I agree with you about watching her grow up on the show and not sorasing her character but my goodness, I don't want to see her stripping down. He shouldn't even be penning this storyline with Starr and her teacher; she's not doing it justice.

I'm so sick of this Stacy crap, it makes me wanna stop watching. Argh!

Re: Chahli, Brian Kerwin's been in London doing the West End premiere of August: Osage County. He's back in New York now so maybe we'll see more of him? Another OLTL alum, Phylicia Rashad, is about to take over the lead role of the matriarch in that play which is currently being played by Estelle Parsons. A very interesting bit of casting there.

    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
