ITA - it's Telenovela lighting. So oozy and schmoozy and what is the worst thing: apart from the lighting this show would look stunning.

Joan's guest stint is wonderful though. What great fun: the entrance, wardrobe, a boy toy... Thanks for posting, DaytimeFan.

Now that's luggage. Just how exactly does one travel with such a piece? :P

I really like the lighting and think it would look great on a soap, kind of reminds me of a warmer version of '90s GL's. I think the blur is accentuated by the transfer as the subtitles are also slightly out of focus (wish the German parts were subtitled in English too :( ). But I have noticed this trend lately on other shows, well especially reality shows and commercials, where they over-blur whatever isn't the main focus. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Like a person will be in focus but the sofa she's sitting on and the flowers and lamp next to it will be out of focus.

And it's not just rack focus but a post-production effect.

Kinda chuckling at the toyboy's English phrasing :D :

"There were at least three little countesses present tonight."

"What is that meant to mean?"

"Your jealousy's completely unfounded."

Might I add that the lighting is flattering to Joan's wig, well, in longshots.

Having rewatched everything, I have to say, THAT is how you do a 3 episode guest arc. Joan's little storyline had a beginning, middle and end. Best of all, it had a clever little twist and played against the usual 'rich older woman taken advantage of by young stud' angle by having Joan play the con.

She should make a habit of this kind of work, short guest stints on foreign soaps, I wonder if France has anything for her? After that, Brazil? Korea?

Seriously. She could market herself across the globe glamming up various nations' glamour soaps... wherever they aired Dynasty, which as we know was everywhere.

That was a nice little twist. I also like that they didn't try to make her speak German, instead she used her native language and that helped to show her talents. She looked great in the black outfits and black furs.

I can see her fitting into a lot of shows, if they make the effort. On the German soaps, she could go on All That Matters as some sort of figure skating judge or grandmother to a pampered young skater.

VL/Forbidden Love has been having ratings trouble, so hopefully she will help.

As far as I know, Joan enjoyed her brief stint at VL. She also said that she would like to return if needed.

That kind of lighting is used by all German telenovelas ("Sturm der Liebe", "Hanna" etc.) I don't know when (and why!) VL began using it as well because I usually don't watch VL.

    • On that same note, it's astounding to have mobster Sonny in the same office with Mayor Laura chatting it up about their mutual grandson. Think about the reaction if John Gotti and Mayor Eric Adams had a friendship

      ?? I guess the Logic behind Sonny & Jason acceptance is like when i saw a documentary where FBI agents said they'd rather deal with the mafia than terrorists or cartels---they're the "lesser of 3 evils". Anyway I'm about 30 years late on this convo.
    • Im confused. Does Jessica know anything about June's relation to Tyrell? At the start of the episode, it seemed like June was gonna slip that he was her son but she caught herself but later in the episode she referred to him as "my boy" and Jessica had no reaction like that wasnt a surprise to her No, Anita was putting money in the account every 6 months but we werent told how much was in it when Leslie became a beneficiary. The show has set it up that it was multiplying based off the interest so that its really worth quite alot now. I dont buy it but thats what they've told us
    • What was the point in Lori's return as Mrs. Max Hollister? That little story never made much sense to me.  Were there plans for a permanent return? Or even a new family with her as the matriarch?  
    • I guess it depends on your device.  I can watch CW shows via their website on my Windows PC.
    • Ooooo A Liam episode? I'll watch it later today. They sure are churning the daily episodes out early.

    • Welcome back, Shawn Douglas! It's been a while. It really is too bad that the writers don't really have an interest in the character because there are still a lot of ways that he can be used effectively on the canvas. He should have been a part of the 60th anniversary celebrations as well. If anything, just to represent Bo and Hope. And I'd much rather see Jada paired with him than possibly with Theo. But I enjoyed him getting caught up with Belle, and comforting her. I'm sure they'll find their way back to each other at some point but I do like them as divorced friends. I just hope we see it play out onscreen. Belle being a dick about Sami again was unnecessary though. And we finally saw Liam again!  I'm curious to see how this storyline is going to play out, and who's going to be weaved into it. He and Abe do work well together too. And we learned that he has a kid. Hopefully, we'll learn more about his character in the future. But I'm not really sure about Johnny and Chanel suddenly having problems with raising Trey. They've wanted a baby for so long, so I don't understand why this is even an issue. They should know by now what it's like to raise a baby. But I did enjoy Johnny's scenes with EJ, and that Johnny still hasn't refused to forgive him. This storyline was/is very clunky, but having the two of them be at odds is the right decision. There's so much story potential that can be drawn from that. As for Chad... there was no time for us to see his reunion with Will, but there's time for us to see him talking BS with Leo? I don't get it. And I don't get all this random dating app stuff either. Leo and Javi were boring af too. If we're forced to endure them, can they at least have some real conflict? The two of them losing the baby was the perfect opportunity for it.
