I thought DG's stuffy nose voice could have used a bit more practice :P but I love having at least one of Viki's sons around. I may regret saying this someday, but I really dig the idea of parallel action going on at the Buchanan compound in London, I would like to see them continue to use this device. It could almost be another show, but unlike the Texas invasion on AW, or even Iris chilling with her friends in Saint-Tropez, we are familiar with all of the characters involved and there's a lot of s/l potential in those gaps where the Londoners aren't seen for a few months.

David did make me LOL with his, "I stopped listening at 'bad actor'..."

I don't see it as an invasion because we know everyone involved, aside from Nigel's doppleganger, who apparently exists so we can revive the old joke that British people = awful teeth. I haven't seen that since Mike Myers did it on SNL 20 years ago. The people from Mel's Diner, who are shoehorned into the show even though they are all dead weight (Gigi, Moe, Noelle), I think that's more of an invasion.

I think this is just the way she's always going to be, sadly. I can't remember the last time Jessica wasn't in need of some sort of special care.

If they were going to do the Grey Gardens parody with anyone I wish it had been her and Natalie.

Wow Destiny seems to be getting worse--couldn't Valentini get a better performance from her? the way she giggled through her line about being sorry that Danni was gone...

I'm enjoying OLTL right now so I don't mean this to be a huge dig, but the show does a crap job at putting story recaps subtly into the dialogue--they're doing even worse than AMC right now.; The opening lines of almost every character today shoehorned the past storylines into their dialogue in way too obvious, even by soap standards, a fashion. And I can almost handle the camp Nigel cousin--OLTL has always had elements of this--but please stop having him do monologues to himself.

I have to agree--I do get why many took to her at first--she has a natural likeability and it's nice seeing a different 'type' on a soap, but she's simply not cutting the mustard, and instead of improving I find her getting locked into her ways all the more. I forget the actual line but she was meant to be more or less hiding the fact from Matthew that she was secretly happy that Danni was out of the picture--instead the delivery was beyond obvious.

    • Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.    
    • I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

    • I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.
    • omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

    • There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.
    • Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
    • OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.
    • I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
    • Is nobody going to mention the cringefest that is 'Carl Ivati'?
    • I've accepted we'll probably never see any of the Roger/Holly 1976-1978 storyline. Whenever any of Roger/Holly 1979 and 1980 storylines surface, those are must watch as they set in motion everything we saw a decade later.
