Is it just me or are they trying to forget that Colleen had a relationship with Adrian? They are making it seem like she hasn't been with anyone since Jt.

When I was watching Jt/Colleen scenes, I felt like I was watching a guy babysit his little sister

I really hope those rumors about Tammin are untrue.

They had Billy saying "I know about your stint with Jt". I wouldn't mind the writers being stuck in the past if Colleen was still being played by LF. Since she's not, it's time to move on. I get the Bac thing since their fans felt cheated by the cousin thing, they could use the closure and then move on.

I thought today's show was rather boring. It had it moments with Jack & Victor but the show was blah. The whole Ashley storyline is boring now. The spoiler sounded better on paper than when it appeared on screen. So Ashley can't tell it's not Sabrina and MJ instead? Her falling into Victor's arms in slow motion was lame too. I think it's time to end this story it's lost a lot of steam. And the future spoiler is going to make it even more tedicious to watch.

Everything else was boring....Lily ...Colleen and Jeffrey and Gloho....didn't care for them.

Now on to the previews.

Gawd...glad to have Thom Bierdz back but the whole I am gay storyline has fallen flat in just a short time. It seems no one really cares why he left...meaning the characters find it lame that he faked his death because he was gay. Why is Jill not upset about this? I would think she would be furious with Phillip instead it is Katherine who is pissed off. That is way off. Jill should be the pissed off one and Kay the more sensible one. Although I can see Kay mad too but NOT Jill? It makes no sense to me.

I actually don't mind the stories - sure there are some beats/angles I don't agree with but I understand the overall stories. It's the pacing that I have major issues with. I like my soaps slow, stretched out.

Once again, the show doesn't follow up the last scene. In tomorrow's US episode, it's already the next day - no follow up to Ashley fainting at all! Episode continuation is one of my biggest pet peeves and I will bitch more about that than say plot holes. LOL

A better actress would be able to hide it, e.g. Nicole Kidman. TS just chooses not to conceal her accent (to keep to her roots as she's said) or she's just not that good of an actress to be able to do so. In any event, Colleen Carlton is an American character, not Australian, and it's very distracting along with her "acting".

UGH...MAB is bad at doing this. She's had some great cliffhangers(this wasn't one of them) and then drops them. I wish someone would tell her to stop doing this. It ruins the whole flow of the show.

Absolutely she was--I will never forget the time TS' Colleen mentioned "shawping" (shopping) in NY--Colleen would have been interested in more than that, she would have been touring museums. CC was never a ditz like she is now and used to be my fav character until the recast and the writing became tailored to suit TS. It's unbelievable isn't it? Oh well, she seems guaranteed the role no matter what and this show has bigger fish to fry w/ what it's got going on now.

I guess it goes back to what CarlD2 always says, they just aren't interested in writing smart women on this show, and judging by how the majority of women act on this show, it's pretty obvious.

Or they simply don't know how to write for these characters....

Of course with Colleen again, it's a combination of the writing and the miscast actress, IMO.

      Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By chrisml · Posted

      Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April.

      How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.

      You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford on DAYS, 1983)

      Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now.

      But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.

      This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
