I like Jake and am enjoying the off the cuff delivery of RG ........but on a shallow aesthetic level he is a little on the short side for Kendall imo . And there is that " You operated on me in the dark you numpty " barrier to get over .

I'm glad to finally get some good Rendall scenes, too! My gut tells me it's wrong to want them back together after all the douchebag crap he put her through under "the writer," but they have such explosive chemistry and imo are much more interesting than Zzzendull ever were. Ditto for Ziza!

As for the rest of the show:

I'm still loving Scott and his plans for Chandler.

JR seriously thinks Adam tried to kill Babe? When he was married to Krystal?

It's been obvious since Frankie bought the life insurance policy that he'd be presumed dead.

TK needs to stop phoning in his performances. The past couple of days he's been terrible.

And lastly, the signature under Ruth Warrick's at the top is Julia Barr's.

Yes it was all horrible . Mc T repaired some of the damage with the the 3 day apology in the rubble from Ryan in 2006 but seeing the cold contempt Zach has for Kendall right now is bringing back bad memories :angry:

For me though their chemistry wins me over every time . This was the closest they`ve been to the 2002 version which is good news for Cam Mat .

Ziza is shaping up nicely ; anyone who tells Zach he talks too much is a keeper .

Erica needs to stop salaaming to Zach and using her annoying " little mistake " euphemism for ruining her daughter`s family life as she knew it .

True . There is something squicky about the thought of Erica and Kendall comparing notes

Steve , I know what you mean about them finally having some good scenes . They`ve been having the same dithering conversation for weeks . Today they got to be Rendall .

I've never wanted to slap Kendall before (even when she annoyed me). Today it happened. Ryan is the most PATIENT and loving man she's ever known? Kendall must still be dealing with issues related to her head injury! Maybe she doesn't remember how Ryan ended up with Greenlee in the first place and the way they betrayed her. I've pretty much hated Ryan since that time and having Kendall with him has placed her on my fast-foward list.

I can't believe the writers are passing on Erica and Zach! Somehow I just knew they'd take it that far, just for the sake of being shocking. I don't know if I'm disappointed or if I'm grateful!

I liked Trey way more than I probably should have, based on the writing (it must have been those lips), so I'm happy they don't remember him. If they did, then I think Zach would murder him for November sweeps.

    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • 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.
