I'm late to the party, as usual, but I have a question RE: Eye on Fashion.

Is Eye on Fashion supposed to be a trade publication(i.e. Daily Variety) or is it supposed to be a fashion and style monthly(i.e. Vanity Fair)?

If that's a daily/weekly publication, that's one thick trade rag.

And I find it surprising that Stephanie would just find out by reading the paper/magazine/trade whatever the hell Eye on Fashion is supposed to be? Wouldn't she have heard it through the grapevine?

No complaints here :)

It helps define the character as different.

They are writing him like they initially wrote "Nick Payne"...who also came to town bearded and angry.

Compared to Ronn Moss' all angular and clean shaven style, how could Brooke NOT be attracted to that? And yes, I believe (teasers to the contrary) that Caroline's brother will be the new Ridge-Brooke spoiler. And I'm delighted.

Let's hope Bill, Jr doesn't end up in the same place Nick did.

I'm a huge fan of the facial hair. And I hope it helps reinvigorate Diamont's performance. We forget how difficult and unusual it must be for an actor (nomadic by nature in terms of their roles) to play one role for twenty years, and then have to try another one, and not fall back into the patterns of their old role. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that DD truly creates a new character here in his own choices and nuances, and not just Brad Carlton with a beard.

Well, honestly, I can already "hear" his line readings, and I'm thinking Brad with a beard. But I'm strangely okay with that. The Forresters have a pool, you know.

I wonder if unshaven face also means...

    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • 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.
