I honestly believe if I liked Starr/Cole, or Rex/Gigi, I could enjoy this show because they make up 90% of the show. But sadly I hate them, while my favorites are tossed to the side fighting amongst one another for airtime and a story. I'm also very bitter about the Jared/Natalie wedding. I thought they were gonna have a wedding renewal ceremony but

I feel your pain Daphne. Although if I could see a story developing for any of the characters I'm truly fond of, I really could let go of my resentment about the Jarlie wedding. I'm really over it. But then it seems there is nothing looming on the horizon either. It's kind of sad that I'm starting to look forward to John and Marty scenes just for the relief from the Morasco Fiasco, and Starr/Cole and their bebe.

I agree. JvD does have more chemistry with ES and even more chemistry with Robin Strasser. The show had a great quad on there hands if they had just left Clint with Dorian and had them run interference with Vicki and Charlie.

This is golden. So why aren't they doing this foursome? I could just see all of them at each other's throats all the time, especially Viki and Dorian, but then we have seen some tension between Clint and Charlie too, this is all already there, so why not?

why the heck were Dorian and Starr referring to Clint as her uncle? He isnt nor has he EVER been her uncle. He wasnt even married to Viki at any point while she's been on this earth as they were divorced years before she was even born. I dont see how he could ever be considered an uncle to her

the only thing that would make OLTL truly worse for me, now, would be for Starr and Destiny to become the show's leading ladies... EGADS!

I'd love to see Clint/Viki/Charlie work through things or Lindsey and RJ to get back together and grab some airtime... It would give me HOPE <get it> that the show was getting back on track. For the love of soapgad, PLEASE change that baby's name.

Ok, Erika Slezak and Bree Williamson were PHENOMENAL today. They had me crying by the end of it all. Emmy gold right here.

I also REALLY enjoyed Clint and Natalie. I think Jerry ver Dorn has more chemistry with Melissa Archer than just about anyone else in the cast.

PS, who else really likes Farah Fath's new do? She looked great! Storyline wise, I'm really enjoying her and Scott Clifton together. ^_^

Don't expect the RJ part to happen anytime soon, as his portrayer Timothy D. Stickney is involved in Shakespeare festivals that sometimes last at least 6 months at a time.

As for the Hope name change idea....come on. :lol::P

It has been really great for me when writing my weekly spoilers for the show. I can really get clever with it.

:D

    • 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 .
