I absolutely love Natalia but I fear that Shannon Kane and JR Martinez are next in line to get the Aiden Turner treatment.

I could see Marcy Walker's Liza with Zach if it was Lorraine Broderick's (1995-1997) Liza. But definitely not the watered down and frumpy Liza that followed. Actually I recall that when TK first joined the show it was said that he would be tried out with both Eva laRue and Marcy Walker. But then Marcy was let go.

Okay, again. It's not about her performance or anything... I DIDN'T GET THE SCENE'S INTENTION!

Apparently nobody else gets it since it keeps coming back to Natalia's performance.

For me, it was basically...

Natalia: I'm Frankie's sister.

Madison: Good for you.

Natalia: Creepy, crawly, crawly, creepy! Itsy Bitsy Spider! Oooh, look at that...!! ((SMASH!!!!!)) Don't you see it, too?

Huh?!

Continuing on with the Hubbards... YAY! Jesse's abusing, not only his power, but little blonde women, now! I'm so proud of this strong representation. :rolleyes: It's a shame I have to cheat on AMC with OLTL to get what this show is sorely lacking... likeable, rootable black characters.

Erica doesn't like labels, huh? No kidding. She can't call herself a grandmother or acknowledge her grandchildren -- so I'm not surprised she can't label this stomach-churning relationship with her daughter's ex, and grandson's father.

And while I'm complaining -- and complaining about Egoica, can Cameron and Susan puh-leeze quit it with the showboating spins and lifts that come out of nowhere? They have, like four months of Dancing with the Stars combined between them and they're all of a sudden professionals? :rolleyes::rolleyes: Let me see Erica doing the Cupid Shuffle and I'll give her some credit. You can tell how some people think twirling in circles constitutes good dance skills (Erica as well as the annoying extras). No... it's just good equilibrium.

Uh-oh... Denise Vasi's playing mad again!! :mellow: Daytime Emmys 2010... this one's in the bag!

Ryan, Ryan, Ryan... overplaying your hand with Annie is the stupidest move, like, ever! Keep on jerking with that girl's emotions -- as if what you did all throughout 2008 wasn't enough. No, seriously! Ryan, PLEASE keep jerking with Annie's emotions and messing with her mind! Maybe you'll make her so psycho she'll kill you dead... which would be one of the sanest acts she could ever perform!

Erica... yeah, we're back to you. Judging Zach? Really? You're practically spread eagle for your grandson's father while your daughter is "in prison," but you're going to judge Zach for kissing Liza? No, darling. Leave the judgment to me. I'm not kissing anybody nor do I have any grandchildren whose fathers I'm lusting over.

I think Annie should shoot Ryan... then do an honor killing and shoot Jake.

Even that baby doesn't like him. Also, why was he holding that baby like that? ALSO, why did he always let that baby's pacifier fall out and just let it fall to the floor? I hate it when it's clear that these actors haven't a clue how to handle a baby.

Yeah, unfortunately AMC has been all about shock value since McTavish returned.

My guess is that Natalia was calling Madison a black widow and breaking the mirror as a threat that she's going to kill Madison. I'm not sure of the intent, though, since that scene was a carryover from Rebecca Taylor's script in the previous episode. It annoys me how often one group of characters declares someone evil as the Martins/Chandlers do with David, Zendall and their clan did it with Adam before Stuart's death and somehow we're meant to root for them against that person. The Hubbards constantly attacking Madison just makes me wish she would destroy them all!

I don't care who kills Ryan as long as somebody does soon.

I liked RPG in the role when he first came on, but this current story with Jake constantly whining about David has gotten old and RPG clearly has never held a child in his life!

    • 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.
