Wouldn't that be something.

"Colleen" conveniently had to get away from the wedding to take care of the grandma. Is this the beginning of her filming another movie? And does that mean that her BIG STORYLINE will have to take a break?

I didn't put in the spoiler tags because nobody really cares.

MarkH, I'm responding to your comment re: CF as Mac here. Yep, I do think that for some (and I include myself) it is that superficial. I have no problem with how CF plays Mac. The original Mac was just as dreary, monotone, and tedious. In this respect, CF is the perfect Mac. I find Mac looking older than Billy to be far more off putting and I am not alone. Her nickname on TWOP is Grand Mac which says it all. Fixing her look will put Mac on the right track with lots more fans.

From your fingertips to the stylists's ears :). I don't think it will be that simple, actually. I think she could look perfect, and there is still going to be an acceptance problem at this point.

Part of it, as you note, may be a problem with the character. If the character is dreary, monotone and tedious...there may not be a tolerance for such a character these days.

LOL, yes, I think she left to finish that movie with Michael Damian. Either that, or she'd already exhausted her guarantee, and they didn't want to pay for another episode.

She was nothing but an extra at that wedding, anyway.

It's just ridiculous that CF looks as old as her mom but is supposed to be in age range as Billy and that lot. Is it really that hard to find some sort of makeup that covers those bags? Hell I know the character is supposed to be dreary and all that jazz, but god at this point I'd enjoy a total rewrite. The character sucks the life out of every scene she's in.

Seriously, I think that are trying to fug her up. They finally got it right this last week ( Thursday US) with the straight hair and outfit. I like CF as Mac, but I also think this foced Mac and Billy storyline doesn't do her any justice. It's not worked since the start, but yet we keep seeing it.

Has the Mac bashing moved into next week's thread?

I don't see CF looks as the issue. Olivia's got that strange weave and Nina's pleasantly plump but I love 'em and I know I would be instantly hooked on any romance the show threw their way. The thing is I just don't care at all about CF"s Mac and I care even less about this so called great Billy/Mac romance. Hell, I was more invested in loony Esther & her con man because at least that provided some chuckles. I would even take another reviled actress -- Crystal Hunt on OLTL -- over CF in this role. That's how little I ask of the show. Better yet, just send the character of Mac away.

    • I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

    • I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.
    • I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.   
    • Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
