Gatschet. But yeah, I pronounce it as Gaskett because I'm lazy. I like them together, too. I never had a problem with SG on Guiding Light, just the lame, lame pairing she had to be a part of (in front of and behind the camera...*sigh*). Now I just need them to push Randy!Randi out of the scene.

And yes, he is remaining with the show in LA.

That's pretty much how it is. You have to be a bubbly "Fun in the Sun"-type of hunky hunk for ABC to value you, it seems. Not that anything's wrong with mindless eye candy, but geez, give Corny some credit for being sexy AND talented AND intelligent. He's sexy BECAUSE he is so talented and intelligent.

Colby mentioning the Jake/Liza/Adam paternity drama from ten years ago is just another reason why SORAS sucks. Ain't nobody in the world gonna look at RPG's Jake and Moncrief's Colby and believe that she could be his kid.

Cornelius is a very fine man, in many ways. I like him a lot.

Second day in a row I enjoyed.

Lots of talk about motivations and true feelings. Something actually soap-like and welcome for me (likely an anomaly for Pratt or just the end of one story cycle? B) ). I even enjoyed Jake and Amanda's dialogue today. I found myself in the unusual place of appreciating Jake through the most of the show. Naturally, things went awry at the end when Jake showed his ass without provocation from David once again. In David's own house. Tiresome. Makes me think Jake secretly wants David just like his brother Tad.

I think Denise Vasi can just almost do *jealous*. If so that's just going to add to my current enjoyment of the developing triangle with Madison and Frankie.

Darnell went bug-eyed with near neck roll again today just for R Sinclair. :lol:

Got a kick out of Madison's Dad storming around like a bull and calling out the "nest of Hubbards".

Angie and Randi, both have hair trouble. Wardrobe hates Colby today.

Moncrief pulled one out today and did a very fine job in the Stuart reveal scene with Luner. Luner was good, too. The scene took some building but they both did a nice job. Colby got line of the day with the one about "You found a kid to lure me back---Maybe you should have named him *Bait*. Zing!

Tad encouraged truth and forgiveness today. It looks good on MEK and Tad. Liked his scenes with Colby, too. Colby has good arguments for wanting to break free from the lies of her parents.

I want to see more Tad/Liza. I like them together.

I think Jamie Luner is a good actress, but I didn't like her scenes with BM. Something missing.

Randi needs to shut the f up. Yesterday, she was pleading with Frankie to be sympathetic towards Madison. Today he is and Randi is all up in his grill.

I agree with everything you said.

For the past 3 episodes, I haven't fast forwarded through anything. It's nice to have real conversations on AMC again, even with Rebecca Taylor writing the script. It just proves that the current staff can do good soap opera when they want to. I hope it's not just the end of a story cycle and then we're thrust back into the same old plot-driven [!@#$%^&*] again.

I agree. I'm rigid and harsh on Rebecca Taylor -- because she deserves it -- but this was a decent episode as well. I echo what's been said, that it was more about the characters and the conversations about their feelings and motivations rather than the plot. I did enjoy Colby's "maybe you should've named him 'Bait!'" line.

I think there needs to be a more cohesive ebb and flow with the storytelling which I never believed was Pratt's strong point. I think the current moments were more about luck than anything intentionally plotted out.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • 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.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
