I hope the Morasco Fiasco is coming to an end. It is sucking this show dry, IMO. I'll though I do like the chemistry between Gigi and Schy, I can't stand Stacy. Crystal Hunt may have been good on Guiding Light but she continues to call in her scenes on OLTL. I also wonder if the damage done to Rex's character could ever be repaired. Has this storyline done more damage than can be fixed. To me Rex is just an idiot now. I don't think I could ever take him seriously again. Considering he is a P.I. as well, it ruins any future storyline plot points if he is used in that capacity because he couldn't work his way out of a paper bag now. The biggest problem for me is that I've stopped caring for the character of Rex. We have all seen characters we like in stupid storylines before but this is the first time that storyline has killed the character for me. If OLTL wants to be daring in its story telling then have Rex find out and kill Stacy. Let the viewers know but let the rest of Llanview try to figure it out. Like a backwards who done it where the viewers know but the characters don't. Have Bo figure it out and have him arrest his surrogate son and give Bob Woods something of substance to play and if he figures it out quick enough, restore some luster to the LPD.

OMG, Dorian, the scenery is aching with bite marks. :lol: She is on some crazy shiz today, and what was that little pill she popped? I love how she pushed her liberal beliefs on the Riveras. :P I was beginning to worry about her with Ray gone and all, but knock on wood, if today's any indication I feel like they are gearing her up for something good. I HOPE.

And again today she dismissed Rachel like a stranger.

ETA: And if Blair's lawyer doesn't look like Alicia Minshew's stunt double...

I don't think she was any better on GL. The writing for her on GL had more built-in layers since Lizzie had always been disturbed, and the story had plenty of great actors to carry Crystal. This story has none of that.

Rex has been a self-righteous idiot ever since they started this story with Gigi. As soon as they put him back together with Gigi they are just going to pretend everything was fine, and it was all Stacy's fault. None of this works for me because JPL and FF have zero chemistry and when they're together they make both characters detestable. The most character-damaging moments for Rex in my eyes were when he kept bitching about Dorian not giving him a video game system for Shane.

I still wish they weren't going to have Dorian go nuts over losing a man. Robin Strasser must be humiliated, but then she probably knows she isn't going to have another story, she just has to roll with the punches.

Some think her not knowing Rachel is a joke about the recast, but this is the third time Rachel has been recast.

Not feeling over the top drunk Dorian at all. She came across like a shrill, confused old lady.

On a side note: I really wanted to punch Markko's parents. There comes a point when you can only let mom and dad oppress you so much before you say "f*ck it, I'm out."

Poor Marcie!! Having to give away Hope was like that was so noble, very Marcie like.

Dorian went NUTS today! Ruining things for Markko/Langston, firing Sean, kicking out Moe/Noelle... How dare Ray break her heart!

I also wonder how Cole will get out of trouble after the cop caught him with the pills..

Solid episode for OLTL.

      Neighbours: Discussion Thread

      When the announcement was first made, I did wonder if other plans were in the works. I guess we can always keep hoping, especially as the show has a small core cast.

      @chrismlAbout Lisa, agree to disagree. Actually at the time she was the only thing my partner & I disagreed about. Naturally she was Team Vicky while I was steadfast as Team Lisa.  About John & twin paternity, I think that like the 3 pillows was a transitory idea someone had that no one else agreed with. More of the attempt to accommodate Philece. About MJ, co-sign, 100% agree, if there were more degrees I would claim them. About Wally & Felicia, always a fan. Mitch? Eh, take or leave. Although I do agree that WGE is a really striking man. Who have I left out? I don't know so that's all I got.

      Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.

      The Politics Thread

      By marceline · Posted

      Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.

      Neighbours: Discussion Thread

      By Adamski · Posted

      Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!

      GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Adamski · Posted

      A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

      Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.

      I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.

      Guiding Light Discussion Thread

      "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.
