The role of Drucilla Winters is now being played by Louise Schaeffer...

Lily: MAMA!!!

Dru: Why are you sleeping with my new husband, David Kimble?

Lily: MAMA!!!

(points the gun at David; it doesn't work)

Nina: Can't you do ANYTHING right?

*BANG BANG BANG BANG*

I watched today and they depressed me too. Add to that the creepy kissing of Adam and Sharrrrrrooooonnnn....and the boring Phyliss and Nick scenes......what a bore of a show. Loved seeing Lauren though....

Billy & Victoria, Mac and JT. I did not see this quad coming. Could be interesting, though there are some weak links in there.

At least Deacon is out of this orbit...

ETA: Ahhh...I see in the flashback episode for tomorrow (Lauren's wedding) we will also be reminding that JT and Mac (Rachel Kimsey) were a couple. It's all becoming clearer...

The choice--SPECIFICALLY--of a shot of Sheila in a black wig has to be more than a random clue. If the writers are yanking our chain, I applaud them. Because I cannot for the life of me imagine who BESIDES Sheila/Sugar Ryder's mom could be.

I'm more and more starting to think that Ryder and Daisy are the offspring of Sugar. That way, all three of them would seem to share sort of odd two-syllable names. I'm not sure why Sugar would hate Daniel/Amber and Lauren...but there must be a reason.

Billy/Victoria have no real chemistry (which is true for both of them and most of their love interests, for me) and she's just another woman he treats like crap, so I guess this must be the future. And of course, Mac and JT can't even discuss her miscarriage of their child even as they celebrate over her upcoming pregnancy.

You know what the sad part about re-airing the Michael and Lauren's wedding is? I thought back then show was the worst it had been and couldn't even get worse. The wedding was wonderful yes, and I liked Gloria back then. Not as much as I did with Joan Van Ark in the role but still. That wedding also includes Susan-Seaforth Hayes as Joanna Manning. It was truly wonderful. I remember JT and Mac they were the most boring couple ever at that point in time. Sheila and all her idiotic disguises. Nick and Phyllis were so hokey I figured they wouldn't last long. It was the end of 2005 and I figured the show would turn around in 2006 as rumors started flowing of a new HW coming, an outsider perhaps....

This utter lack of gravitas on Lily's part is disgusting. It's like she's going through acne treatment, not cancer. It's not the writing...they have scripted the moments for her. It is this bland actress with no range beyond chirpy.

They would do well to backburner her, and bring Neil-Devon-Olivia to the forefront.

    • This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.
    • @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

    • I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

    •   I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer. 
    • I wish I cared about the homeless lady as much as everyone else seems to. After the nothing burger that was the lawsuit, this just feels like another boring Naomi storyline at Orphy Genes since she has no office.
    • That's great to hear. Thanks. I wish that was more readily available.
    • Just learned that Clifton Davis wrote this song!  I had no idea.

    • I think even if Marland had wanted to write more for Sara/Adam, his hands would have been tied as Robert Milli was one of the actors dumped by P&G due to his age.  From the bits and pieces I've seen of that period, Sara does have a key role in the Carrie plot, and Marland briefly gave her son Tim a more important part. I'm not sure if they just gave up on Tim once Kevin Bacon left or if they never really cared. I did not even know for many years that there was an actor in the part after Kevin...and then not one, but two. The Spauldingfield video on Tim doesn't even show the last actor (Nigel Reed), which kind of says it all. Anyway, I do get the sense Marland has some use for Sara, or for Millette. It's only after he goes that she is dumped. Of course he didn't ever hire her for his other shows, so maybe I'm wrong. (then again he never hired Geraldine Court either and he seemed very fond of her) Ann is an odd character to me as she is a proto-Lillian in being defined by pining for a Bauer brother and being involved in the death of one of their wives. I do wonder what else they could have done with her. She was friends with Diane, wasn't she? They could have had Diane manipulate her against Mike, I suppose.
    • Yassss....come on Maurice and Brandon...give us nothing!!! Wow, their need to develop their craft shone like a blinding light this episode. Brandon in his Martin and Smitty scenes sounded like he was reading and the facial expressions were giving Disney Channel. He did much better against Maurice in the Martin v Ted scenes. Now, Teddd-dyy (Dana's voice) was just flat. I watched the episode just now after reading the comment on here that Maurice needs to stop swaying, and now I can't unsee it. Has it really been this bad all along?  Ambyr carries. I don't need to say anymore. I am kind of excited to see this Kat/Tomas/Eva stuff play out.  Bill is such a dick to Dani. Like that's the mother of your children that you cheated on with your daughter's best friend but you look to take those low blows. Lord! When he said that thing about it being obvious he didn't care about Dani anymore since he was the one that walked out...that was cold. I even felt for Dani. Bill definitely is all over the spectrum. You can see a villain possibly surfacing, but you also see this great father. The elder Duprees move a little funny. I'm wondering what that is all about. Are they just overly protective matriarch and patriarch because they think it's what's best for their family, or are they afraid their secrets will come out or there's something more sinister there. Why would Vernon want to keep that information from Martin?  I hope something interesting comes out of this June stuff, but as of right now, I'm not too invested. It's not helping my interest on Naomi or Jacob either. However, tge actress playing Naomi has comes a long way from day one.
