Ever since I joined SON I've been treated like Hitler [...] because I happen to like certain actresses.

Boo-hoo. Wait 'til they construct online voodoo dolls with your avatar as the face. Then, we'll chat.

So maybe that's a clue that the baby will be Jack's, so MJ/Patty will have all the more incentive to steal the kid.

Except, what if the baby isn't Jack's, but Patty Jane's under the impression that it is? Man, this story's about to get good and messy. :lol:

Meanwhile, can anyone explain/interpret Sharon's dream for me? Is that MAB's way of saying Summer isn't Nick's? Do you think she's saying Sharon won't even have the baby? Bueller?

Me too, I like Lauren, but as long as she's tied to the Fisher's, I don't care to see her that much.

Also, she's recurring, so really, I don't expect much storyline for her anyway. Eden and Noah are also recurring, can we say their storyline, for example, is anything big or exciting on this show?

If she wanted to be used more with her on-screen family and more storyline potential, then she shouldn't have refused to sign a contract. I have no sympathy for her in that sense.

And yes, she comes off as incredibly stiff to me, she's not horrendously bad, but a bit on the bland side.

Also, if they wish to write Lauren off this show, I can't say I would care. I don't think Lauren is necessary for this show to survive or that her loss would impact the show in any negative way.

Amen.

I think Lauren is being wasted.

I can't begin to understand the contract/guarantee/budget issues.

Any 'newish' viewer would have no idea that Paul and Lauren were once married and a major couple.Doug and Tracey always had good chemistry..Their divorce was borne out of bad luck/circumstance.

It would be nice to see an occasional scene where they touch base and seek each other out for advice etc.

Since both are used so sparingly,it is not a priority.

Where are the Paul/Nikki flashbacks that should be used to bolster their story?

Lauren and Paul reconnecting could be an interesting sublot to Paul/Nikki and Michael/Lauren.There is so much history there.

Not sure but I think the other actress was playing Nikki when she got the std from Paul.

I saw that too, which is why I want them to come to some sort of understanding.

They will.

Victoria will make nice before Nicholas.

If Billy is the father,that makes 2 women he has impregnated in the past year or so.Not a great thing for that character.

As for Jack being the father,he already has 2 children he never sees.

That leaves Nick as a possibility.If Sharon lies about it,it could drive story for quite a while.

Wait and see....

Business stories need to be better told,than at present.

Phyllis need Nick at Restless Style?Please,the magazine runs itself!He was hardly ever there any way.

I HATE RESTLESS STYLE!!!!

Tracey Bregman is a wonderful actress, which is being criminally underused like so many others. To critique her on one little scene doesn't mean much. She was fantastic under LML (when she actually had lines), especially in the two-episode PTS arc. Some say TB has no loyalty, but where is TPTB loyalty to actors like Doug Davidson and Kristoff St. John - and to a lesser extent Bryton McClure? All three are contract actors and receive little to no story. So, I doubt if TB went on contract that she'd actually get more airtime.

Aside from that....

I LOVE everything going down on the Newman Ranch. But MAB needs to stop heavily featuring the ONE story she's interested in, while going in circles with the rest.

Erica Hope was Nikki for the original Paul/Nikki pairing but Melody and Doug did have many scenes together.They both joined the New World cult for example.

There are scenes that could be used in flashbacks.

  • Member
Restless Style has sucked since Day 1.

Say that, Pastor, say that!

  • Member

I'm not kidding, though! I still remember when Jack printed the gory photos of David and Sabrina's car crash, along with a story about her death. Like, for real? Who would print that in a fashion magazine? "What's next," I said, "exclusive photos of Chloe's sonogram?"
