I thought he was ok, but certainly not emmy calibre or anything. Personally I hope this recast is just a detour to the character's end on this show..... they seem to be painting him into a corner anyway.

i really hate how this had to happen in the middle of what could be one of the best storylines of the year. I know some hate it, but a lot of people are LOVING it right now and its such a disservice to the fans that CE and TPTB couldn't work it out. Its going to shake up the momentum of the storyline.

Oooh!

If only we could get Mary back!!! Of-topic, but did the actress who played Mary also play Jason's mother in Friday The 13th?

IA - but I'm with MAB...keep moving. This woman does not play games. And the actor was great on Veronica Mars. i can't wait to forget CE was ever on this show.

Exactly!

I'm loving the THEMES that run THROUGH episodes.

Yesterday was about lost loves. Sharon & Nick, Mackenzie and Billy,

Today was about "protecting my relationship". Phyllis, Chloe.

For all those who were lamenting the absence of "conversation" episodes, today we got them...in delightful spades

Billy & Sharon

Jack & Sharon

Jack & Billy

Phyllis & Nick

Chloe & Mackenzie

Just great, extended, simple conversations!

Wasn't it you who called for this a few weeks ago? Somebody did.

There is still journalist brother Steve. I don't miss him or need him...but he's out there. I hope they address where Mary is. I hope she's not dead...just on a church cruise or something. I really, really, really miss Mary. I've wanted her all up in Heather's business since Heather came back.

Glass half full: We got another conversation episode!

Glass half empty: It took a month!

It happened! I enjoyed it. I'll enjoy the next one next month or tomorrow...whenever it happens again.

I loved the Billy/Sharon convo today. It's nice to know how Billy feels about Jack. I also thought the Mac/Chloe scenes were good. I don't want Chloe to be stuck in this "Hera" role for too long though. She's way too fun and cute to have to be reigning Billy in left and right.

The writers ruined him for me by making him pine away for Mac... just out of the blue.

I like Bergman but really does he have sexual chemistry with anyone?

I want to see how Raul and Mac are together and whether or not they have chemistry with one another. I do not want another Billy/Mac redo! I liked Clem's hair today.

While I also liked Engen in the role but I will wait and see how the new guy fits into the role.

    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
    • Wait - so no Will, Jack, or Jen at John's funeral? That’s just weird. What was the point of bringing them back then? Did Julie and Maggie even show up? I mean, seriously.
