To put it bluntly, I think Olivia should give it a test run with Doris, just to see if she's really ready to swear off (*^%*%. 'Cause I have serious doubts Natalia knows exactly how the mechanics of them would "work" so to speak. :lol:

In recent episodes, I've noticed lines like, "Don't piss me off," and "They have their heads up their asses."

Has this dialogue been on GL a lot over the past few years or is this recent? I could swear I don't remember most of the character speaking quite this bluntly until recently. Is this an "anything goes" for cancellation, like what happens on some other soaps (in the UK, Brookside became full of profanity and drugs and violence in its final year)?

If it is a deliberate choice, too bad they can't just go totally crazy and have Cyrus and Remy go around bare-assed or have them get into a drunken one night or something.

Then again, for the most part, Otalia didn't even go beyond holding hands, so...

I found myself just a little annoyed at the Bizzie wedding mishaps Friday. Apparently, Bizzie can't pull off a wedding after weeks of planning, but Dinah and Mindy can organize one in about two hours.

The whole thing was very contrived, but I did like the scenes of everyone emerging from hiding places with their own chairs and supplies. One of the few improvements I've seen in GL lately is their use of outdoor footage -- that type of thing was great use of outdoor footage.

I also didn't know Mindy was going to be at the wedding so that was a nice surprise. Even if she may not even get a line of dialogue.

I felt embarrassed for the actors in Friday's show. Bring you own chairs to the wedding and trudge through a muddy field? Bill and Lizzie were already at an empty church earlier in the episode. Couldn't Dinah have just called everyone to the church? It's reasons like Friday's show that GL is cancelled.

I chose to believe TIIC were paying homage to (arguably) GL's pentultimate wedding---Josh and Reva's first marriage at Cross Creek.

Personally, I loved the Quint/Nola one more...but c'est la vie.

The wedding looked like it took place in a mud pit. The show needs to end. I haven't enjoyed it in a long time. Some of the guests at the wedding shouldn't have been there.

I don't care about Bizzie as a couple but I liked seeing the interaction between the various guests. There were some nice little character moments. I'm not sure why they had Matt hit up on Mindy and I wasn't even sure that was the point of the scene until Rick showed up to hit on her but I liked the small scenes with Rick/Mindy/Billy. I hope when the show ends they have Mindy say she's moving back to Springfield.

I also liked the flirting with Mel/Cyrus. If the show had continued on I think they would have been a hot couple. When GL is done, GH may want to consider hiring Murray Bartlett as a recast Ethan. Or a Jacks family member.

My favorite part was probably when Michelle said the wedding made her want to get married again, and Rick said she'd already married Danny 27 times!

I even liked Daisy's horror at seeing Buzz and Lillian make out all the time. It's too bad they had to pick this role to de-age because Bonnie Dennison does the bratty teen mode well and I don't like that I always end up remembering that she should be somewhere around 25 years old.

      Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.

      Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.

      I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.

      omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

      There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.

      Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.

      OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.

      I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
