TALIA DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE!!!!!!!

UGH!

This is one character killing that makes me mad. They had so much potential for her. Carlo became her father, then they were going to add Stacy as her sister..

OLTL, another great episode, but this just annoys me.

I was never Talia's cheerleader but her death (and manner of death) made me sad. It wasn't necessary. OLTL could have easily written her and Antonio off together. This was totally unnecessary. How many women on this show have to be stabbed?

I've reached my tolerance level for anything that has to do with Rex and Gigi. FF's acting seems to be getting worse. And Rex is no longer a fun character.

This show put me in a foul mood today :lol:

Having dayplayer Fish kill fellow dayplayers Lee & Wes and backburnered Talia for no apparent reason isn't my idea of a classic murder mystery. I hope there is some twist at the end of this. Maybe losing another baby has made Marcie snap and she's secretly reverted to her High School Killing Club days and that's why Cole and Starr were all "Don't tell Marcie/Don't tell Marcie" at the gravesite. I could see her using the KAD rape to punish Todd and Marty for planning to abscond with Hope.

I'm indifferent to Talia's departure. On one hand it's a bit sad, but on another, it's not as if I was incredibly won over by the character. Ever since Mendorra and her and Antonio's being backburned, I've been bored with them. The only thing that bothers me, is that her connection to the Hesser's were never fully explored, nor her backstory. That sucks bc there was an incredible gold mine there.

Yet we get to keep the Sami Brady rip off.

    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
