Was the minister on Another World? He looked very familiar

Why the heck were the freshman allowed to go to the prom? Thats something for the seniors. This was like any regular dance. And they had the prom at the school. Most HSs rent out a place

Brody just happened to have his navy uniform at work? Um okay

That navy uniform means Brody needs to start stripping. Then again, he strips every day as it is.

The minister was David Forstyh, ex-John Hudson, AW. I think back during JFP's reign of terror at OLTL, he claimed she offered him a job, but he turned it down, because he was so tired of hearing rumors about how close they were.

Why are people complaining about Brody's uniform? I don't care whether it made sense for him to have it work; I'm glad he had it! He can be an officer and a gentleman with me any day!

(Oh, God. Did I just say that?)

My school upgraded them downgraded. We had our prom and homecoming at the civic center my sophomore and junior years, but they decided to have it in the gym for my senior year. Ugh. It wasn't that bad, though...they utilized the space real well, and we also used the hallways adjacent to the gym for stuff too, so it worked. That thing that was on OLTL today was a hot mess.

It was no worse than Starr finding that prom dress, getting dressed, and fixing her hair and make-up in less than 5 minutes to go to the prom. Even funnier, they went to the prom when 'her' baby's body is supposed to be exhumed later the same evening. :lol:

But come on.....since when are exhumations scheduled for at night?

Nope.....Natalie said they should tell Bo that it should wait a few days for everyone to think it over some more.

Bo got a call from a judge while at Jared's bachelor party, and then told Michael that the judge said it could be done tonight.

I'm glad to see Powell back but is anyone uncomfortable with how it's handled? Carlivati has said he wants to remind viewers the rape wasn't all Todd but was these other characters. We get it. But Powell is always this sacrifical lamb of sorts--initially we had him be the one who was fully peer pressured by Todd into participating in the rape and the only oen to show full remorse. Yes he was still guilty but it made the whole issue more multifaceted not to just have the "bad guys" invovled in the gang rape but to show other sides.

Then they started to build up his character and then in one of my least fave stories of the era we had that STUPID serial rapist storyline (which felt very exploitive) and it turned out Powell was the rapist--this was all done to redeem Todd way back when of course as he discovered it.

Anyway I felt that ws an awful end to a character with potential and sent a weird mixed message that no one who did a crime could ever truly feel remorse. But whatever. Now he's back and he's some serial killing MASTERMIND. First of all apparantly none of his family EVR has visited him. Even Vicki, Vicki who forgives Todd for *everything* never once visited or worried about her family member Powell? Seems out of chraracter to me. And I dunno... nothing adds up for me. I like seeing him again but that's about it.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
    • For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
    • My question was basically is Dani the only character to have a bedroom? And then the response was Jacob and Naomi ONLY have a bedroom as their set .
