I actually liked Gigi today. Ron/Frons should really give Vicki a proper storyline. Walking around with cookies is a slap in the face to the veteran actress. Marty can be annoying but I like her. As for John, he can hit by a bus on his way home. LOVE Todd and Blair. LMAO @ the homeless lady telling Stacey she look like a slut.

When the show ended on Friday, Viki caught Brody outside and it was sunny and daytime but today when the scene opened up its all of a sudden nighttime. Dont you just love the continuity on this show... :roll:

There's always been something slightly creepy and sinister about EA's gravel voiced Matthew, having him unleash his inner Eddie Munster on Cole was brilliant. He really takes after the Austin Buchanan side of the family. Watch out Becca.

To make matters worse, Viki didn't even fix the cookies she took to Gigi. Lois the maid baked them, and Viki just served them to Gigi.

Lois has to be one of the most often mentioned, least often seen minor characters in Llanview. :lol:

I kind of liked today. I loved seeing Viki today and the whole Cole/Matthew stuff was great too. I even liked the Gigi/Rex/Shane stuff. The baglady calling Stacy a slut was priceless. The only weak link to today was John and Marty. I even liked Todd and Blair and it's been a long time since I've thought that.

I normally like Kassie DePaiva, but mocking her scene partner through every scene does not equal chemistry. It drives me crazy when it comes to her. She was overboard with it today, I guess making up for her time away.

Stacy's still on this show?

Liked BadMatthew too. Hope he goes in this direction, the Buchanans are generally too squeaky clean. We haven't had an out-and-out nasty one since... Drew #1, the money-grubbin forgotten Bo son who was scheming with Becky Lee, but went away and came back as a less attractive, martyred, do-gooding cop? We need a dark Buchanan in the mix.

Wish Kristen Alderson would work some layers into her scenes. She's been in a flatlining rut through many weeks/months. She picks one emotion to feel in a scene and rides the life out of it. Jack shows twice as much range.

Anyone else see a resemblance between Mark Lawson and Josh Lewis from GL?

    • I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. They're connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters.
    • Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.
    • My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character
