Madison proposes an organ-harvesting scheme with young Dr. Hubbard. Really, AMC? Organ harvesting? :rolleyes:

Quit killing my very wrong Madison-Frankie hopes with such silliness.

Randi's so dim. I am about ready for the divorce to be completed with the usual Prattlian quickness even if she changed her mind (for the moment).

Yeah, I think I've been over her for a while and just didn't realize it. She just doesn't really captivate me. But I'm trying not to hate her or anything. Let's face it, it's all sorts of bad writing up in these parts.

On a side note, Angie take off that atrocious wig already!

And am I the only one getting bored with the tiny cast? OLTL has such a sprawling cast. I understand the budget issues but it's like they don't even rotate the storylines (it's nearly guaranteed that two of Kendall, Zach, Ryan, or Liza will be on daily) or use all the people they DO have. Like where are Aidan and Pete? It's interesting how much I miss characters I found just ok before only due to their absences.

I've been over Randi since Denise Vasi showed up!

Yeah, organ harvesting was a lame twist to Madison/Frankie. Angie's speech to Jesse today about protecting their family from Madison made me hate her. It would be different if they knew Randi was innocent, but Angie's anger at the widow of the man her daughter-in-law "killed" doesn't feel justified to me.

I hope Annie doesn't turn out to be the one who shot Stuart. It seemed like she did today when she was explaining it was an accident to Emma. I have a sinking feeling in my gut that if the culprit isn't Annie, it will turn out to be Adam in his drugged-up state.

I don't think the cast is too small; they just need stories that make sense for the characters based on their histories and lead somewhere. There hasn't been a real long-term plot on this show since the Bianca/Babe babyswitch ended. There is also too much emphasis on the same people every day while potential couples like Pete/Colby and now Tad/Taylor and Brot/Natalia are lucky to get airtime once a week.

Yesterday definetly made it look like it was Emma. Annie explained to her that when she broke the christmas ornament it wasnt her fault and it was just an accident just like what happened with the gun was an accident. I think they were trying to draw parallels to the shooting here with Emma doing it and Annie assuring her that it wasnt her fault as she didnt mean to. I hope Emma didnt do it though

My theory though for the past few months was that it was Adam. He probbably thought he was shooting himself and in his mental condition at the time, didnt realize it was Stuart.

Yep - I also think it's Emma now...and I don't know how I feel about that.

Today made it seem like Madison is going the psycho route a la Leslie Coulson...ugh. I really love Madison/Frankie. I totally don't care what happens to Randi.

That's about it - I think the scriptwriter got lazy with Liza/Kendall/Spike - how many times is he going to run to Kendall and make Liza search for him in one episode???

That was plot, which is Pratt. I think he's trying to build suspicion about Kendall In The Wall and is using Spike to do that.

But, nevertheless, Kendall brought this on herself. Every time someone comes over, I'm tired of seeing her lurking -- practically standing in the living room.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
