I know I've talked before about not understanding Mitch as a character but I don't know if I'ever said that I never bought a sexual attraction to him. 

I think that is because they looked hot even when doing ordinary things. '90s AW was pretty well set on gorgeous women & hot dudes! Eye candy was never lacking.

Mark Mortimer is the only one who does not look uncomfortable to be dancing. A lot of them don't even seem to bother to dance (or their dancing got left on the cutting room floor). But look, there is also basketball and boxing and soccer!

It seems like whenever AW attempted to copy trends, or make itself look more "hip!" and "now!," it always wound up embarrassing itself instead.  IOW, AW was just one soap opera that never could keep up successfully with the times.

If you put lyrics in your song I *will* notice them and they *will* affect my enjoyment of it. I'm delighted for those who enjoy the lyrics or who can ignore them, but please allow me to appreciate entertainment in my own way. As Judge John Hodgman would say, people like what they like.

Sorry but I fail to see how my comment in any way constricts your anything at all about the song. I have also joined in, in discussing the lyrics & then added one more bit of commentary. Because IMO what makes the song so popular is the melody, the swell of the music, the great feeling it imparts, etc. Obvi I ALSO noticed the lyrics & so forth. 

Nope, not doing a thing to interfere with you in any way. We are just discussing things here, folks. 

I am unaware of any problems between us. I tried to PM you to inquire but you don't do PMs. If there is anything we need to talk about, offboard, I am open.

@AbcNbc247 @Vee Thanks for that promo. It's as funny as ever. I'd forgotten how funny. The actors awkwardly trying to give a sexy closeup to the camera, David Andrew Macdonald vibing, Eric Morgan Stuart trying to rock the one-shoulder overall look that never really works, the pick-up basketball game that must have made JFP weep with pride, etc.

I had forgotten Steve Richard Harris was still there. A very pretty man but never a lot else going on in the acting department...but he is still working, so what do I know?

My understanding is that NBC was in complete control of all the promos for it's soaps, and that may be why NBC Daytime's promos often seemed so disconnected from it's soap operas in terms of tone, style, and nearly everything else.  So if that is true, then it is unlikely that P&G, the executive producers, etc. had much influence on this or any other promos.

Haha ok

I remember everybody playing basketball in that all male episode that she produced about Joe's bachelor party

Well, in that case, they did seem to get a lot of promos wrong. Except for "It Will Excite You"

And even that didn't excite me, lol!

I will say this much for JFP: when P&G or NBC wanted to DAYS-ify AW by including vampires and whatnot, she balked.  In fact, it's almost refreshing how she did her best to avoid that kind of storytelling on all her shows.

    • Oh wow. After reading your post, I realized that they had "Carl Ivati" in the script AGAIN yesterday June 6.    Eva said she was reading his latest, and Tomas said "Work's been so busy, I haven't had time to get into his new series". Then Eva proceeds to tell him that "the first book is called 'Mercy and Goodness' and it's all about how the couple first met and how they got separated".   She goes on and on about how great it is. And she says she has the book in her hotel room if he wants to borrow it. She says it has twists and turns. And meanwhile Kat is snooping in Eva's room to look for the helmet and gloves, and finds the book and dismisses it as "basic". I saw that whole scene -- but I wasn't paying attention to the name of the author.  And when Tomas said the name, I heard it in his accent so I didn't hear "carlivati".  II was mainly trying to see if the acting had improved with the actor playing Tomas, and I think he has improved somewhat.   I only see it when typed out. So they had several scenes yesterday about a "Carl Ivati" book?  Barf! Well at least Kat had the good sense to dismiss it as "basic". Ron Carlivati wrote the breakdown yesterday!   Featuring himself in it! Addressing to the collective "you" whoever you may be: Some of you, months ago, said Oh Ron is only doing breakdowns.  The story comes from MVJ, so he won't influence things, you said. May 27 started it, with Christopher Dunn breakdown and Lynn Martin script. But they didn't need to continue it June 6 with Carlivati breakdown and Jazmen Darnell Brown script.
    • I was completely lost. But it is wonderful that it exists. I didn't really know Robert Mandan had done soaps...well, besides SOAP.
    • Jack and Jennifer are tired. I just don't care about them when they return. They add nothing to the show.
    • Did they really bring back Jack and Jennifer for Jack to prop up Leo and Jenn to serve as an obstacle to Chad/Cat? Are we sure Ron still isn't in the building?
    • We can only hope that they finally kill off Leo too 
    • We can only hope that maybe the new writers might read this.
    • You can get so many storylines from a Will/Sonny/Paul/Andrew/Dimitri mess And I'm sure Colton would do a great job

    • Sounds interesting. Too bad we never got that story.
    • Not to go too off topic but if you ever want to see more of his Search run just look for SFT Summer of 1966 on Youtube.
