EXACTLY. That was my next point, and yesterday was bad enough but when they broke it out again today, geesh. It looks like Susan Gammie raided Charles Busch's closet. When did they decide that polka dotted '40s/'50s dresses are Dorian's signature look? And the headband is just awful overkill. Dorian has too much style to fall into caricature, it makes her look old lady kooky, not chic.

Unlike his sister, Eddie Alderson has a fighting chance to get work post-OLTL. Puberty has been rather kind to this kid so far.

The sad thing is that the show is continually hellbent on throwing Matthew under the bus to prob a ridiculous insta-kid and her equally ridiculous new teen heartthrob boyfriend.

I'd be for a Matthew/Destiny pairing also if the show would just acknowledge the chemistry the two actors have and just go there.

Even if the show cared about Matthew, besides using him to try to generate pity for the truly worthless Danielle and her soulmate Nathesulah, they probably wouldn't put him in an interracial relationship. Those only seem to happen if they are filler pairings which the audience isn't supposed to care about, like unwashed Ethan and dull Maya on GH...(I get the feeling that's just going on until they shove Kristina at him).

    • Love my girl!  Thank you for posting these!    P.S I've lost interest in this show once again. 1, because I don't have time, 2, because I can't tolerate Bradley Bell's version of sickness and dying. He should S-T-O-P telling these stories. It's like watching Eric's storyline once again - so boring. Liam should have been bitten by a snake and died instantly. If you don't have the dept and the sensitivity to tell these stories correctly... please stick to mid 60s Brooke in a thong and Daphne Rose spraying perfume in slow motion, Bradley.  Stick to your strengths and let the serious drama go. 
    • How cute Bo was back then!  
    • Exactly. Eva made a horrible first impression. Kat was and is completely justified. Her instincts proved right. 
    • Who is Ken Howard? I think you mean Howard Keel.
    • Hehe. Wrong thread.

        Overall, I would agree. However, it has been interesting while I'm waiting for something to happen to see her experimenting with finding characters' individual styles. I feel she's slowly getting it. But yes, it has been hit and miss.    Like when she tries to give a particular style to one person and think it will work for someone else. Like she's lightened up Nick's style which was...different. Almost like she was listening to JM's own style, but keeping it within Nick's bandwagon. Then she tried a similar style on Billy and it just didn't work.
    • It's been pretty well-known since that that BBG was offered a similar deal as Ken Howard (ie 4-6 episodes) and she told them to fudge off. With Jane Wyman, I don't doubt they were willing not to hold her to her contract, but in those early episodes where she appears, she's written sitting down or in a bed for a reason. Her health genuinely seemed in decline.
    • Agree, but I am talking more about the initial casting. Melissa might have only lasted a season if Ana Alicia hadn't impressed.
    • I'm not that impressed with the costuming, still very hit and miss,not much improvement and some of the outfits for Nikki in particular have been awful. Maybe Mariah's secret is she encountered Ian and killed him? That might work except for the fact that her mother has done the same thing.
    • Ana Alicia was far more dynamic and charismatic than McGeehan or Vernon though. Some of it due to the writing of course, but not all of it.
    • It actually felt like TM-G was a bit softer in her scenes with nu-Ted that kind of matched his meeker energy as Ted on Friday. I was very curious how she’d play off him and now I have my answer.
