No, but Jess certainly did. ;)

Forget Chance/Ashley, give me JT/Ashley in a hot second & I'll be hooked. Can you imagine Luckinbill feeding Davidson grapes in bed every day, their smooth legs peeking out of the satin sheets? I can feel my blood pressure rising just thinking about it.

Exactly.

There's a reason Jill is playing one of the Ugly Stepsisters in Chloe's Cinderella dream ("fat" Nina is, of course, the other one). It's because she is written that way on the show every day. This is just an excuse for Jill to look spiteful and wrong, and Katherine and Chompers to look benevolent and right. BTW, did everybody see Chompers throw his mother under a bus today when talking with Lauren and Michael?

Michael: We appreciate your attempt at levity, but maybe we shouldn't be talking about this.

Billy: Yeah, okay. Yeah, the lawsuit. I get it. I get it. And, uh, Lauren, if mom would have listened to me, she wouldn't be doing her "dog with a bone" routine right now.

Lauren: Unfortunately, Jill doesn't listen to anyone ever about anything.

Billy: I... I know, she's my mom. Come on. And I've been there with a new relative, at the altar, in fact.

Lauren: Yeah.

Billy: That was special. So I know how crazy it gets and... believe me. But, um, whatever happens, however you decide... to me, I mean, your money is your money. Your--your--your--your-- your name is your name. The family photos, they all go to you. So however you decide with Jill, I'm gonna understand, and believe me, everyone in Jill's universe, they're feeling for you right now.

Everything but the thunder storm, huh Eden?

I'm kind of hoping that the actress playing Sophia is purposely playing it safe at this point and there's a lot more lurking below the surface.

Devon, I bet you could hear that shirt. :ph34r:

More does not = better. I mean, she's looking at Chance like a 1950s schoolgirl, she's constantly whining, she's in a nobody cares corrupt cops "LA Confidential"-lite storyline, she has the wardrobe of June Cleaver if she were a secretary. Just no. Give me fiery, bitchy Heather spitting venom at the Newmans over Donna Martin as a lawyer anyday.

Which would be fine if Liz hadn't just died.

Maria had Jill making long speeches to Liz about how Liz was her "real" mother & she was sorry she ignored her after the Katherine debacle then before Liz's body is even cold in the ground she's suing Lauren over a family she doesn't want or need.

Had Liz not died or it had been some time removed from Liz's death (a year or two) & Jill decided to pursue the Lauren on behalf of her biological Mother it would be a lot more plausible than this woman who lives in a house with at LEAST 9 family members she sees regularly (Chance, Mackenzie, Katherine, Nina, Billy, Chloe, Esther, Delia, Murphy).

It also doesn't take into account Phillip, Brock, The Fosters, The Abbotts, The Winters & Cane who are also all her family (whether she or they like it or not).

No-one will agree with me, I am sure, but Branson has great soap-kissing technique. :P

However, from time to time I get flashbacks to Jonathan Lavery & Maggie with Ronan & Chloe. And that's not a good thing.

    • Am I the only one who hates how this show treats Claire? She's a glorified extra This girl comes from stock the granddaughter of the shows 2 biggest supercouples and they treat her like she's a throw away. Her pop pop is dying/dead and her other grandpa is saved awoken from his coma, alive because of the selfless heroic actions of her maternal grandpa

      There is no reason why she wouldn't be here to say goodbye. Olivia Rose isn't doing anything I bet she love to come back and say goodbye. I just don't understand the motivation & thought process when it comes to some decisions. This show is probably still salty about how they didn't succeed in trying to assassinate Claire, on the alter of her dicktimized bird brained aunt & her serial killer boyfriend/husband with the audience.  Also unless they're keeping it under wraps Sami not being back in time to say goodbye to John is a huge fumble. If it had to do with Ali availability then they should've pushed back the fallout of Johnny learning about his sperm donor raping his mother and the subsequent confrontation with Elvis & Sami to conceded with John's coma & death so Sami/Ali were here for it. It's just a huge piece missing from this. As much I hated Sami's overdramatic looney tunes treatment of John long after she was in her 30s, became a grandma, her & John had one of the best dynamic complex heartbreaking father/daughter relationship's on both daytime and the show. It would be full circle as John's end of watch nears, that Sami apologizes for her treatment of him & admits she does love him. He was just as much as a father to her as "Roman", in a impossible situation that turned everyone lives upside down(The 2 Romans, Roman Intitial Death, The Affair)through no fault of his own. How fitting if she called him dad one last time & how thankful she is for his unconditional support and love. He squeezes her hand one last time, calls her Samantha and finally let's go after hearing the words he spent decades longing for in my eyes
    • So around '84 is when things get bad?
    • There are details through the thread, but yes, as mentioned, she hated Ellen Wheeler, and lambasted her for crying a lot, for her decisions with firing and Peapack, etc. Back in the day she also hated Pam Long, who created Reva and gave Reva all of her best material. The producers or writers she liked most seemed to be those who saw Reva in the most generic of molds, although she likely doesn't see it that way. She was OK on OLTL; I think @Vee could probably give a better summary. She was earthy and added her usual hard work to some trash material. There was nothing special going on, as yet again with patron saint Carlivati it was all plot, no character, and he cared more about writing for a cutesy child character.  You're right about what they could have done with Reva. Reva, Erica, and any women who are in story long enough face this problem. The biggest difference is Reva was allowed to age (even with the post-menopausal baby), which Erica was not.
    • Cali was the only Paulina for me on AW.  Was Judi Evans such a “name” that Cali was fired for her?  Judi basically played an entirely different character.  She could’ve been Nancy!
    • They were great together. Barbara was way too high maintenance for any man. You know Henry divorced her a$$ after about a year.  And, here’s an example of what I was talking about…
    • I watch every day as well, and I am enjoying the show. There's always room for improvement. TBH, things are much different from what I expected reading the character breakdowns. That could be a good thing! I'm willing to let them find their groove and figure out what kind of show it wants to be. The core and underlying theme. -I echo what a few others have said: The show is lacking in real romance and cross-starred lovers. But that tracks from (MVJ) experience cause the bell soaps are not good with romance IMO. -I have a feeling it's being built before our eyes, but we're missing that rival family. -I would prefer more variety of storylines. Good ones that could weave together the whole town.   -I struggle connecting to the male characters. So I hope they get a clear handle on them soon. Most of them feel underwritten and one-note. -Find a better purpose for Naomi. I fear she will be the first Dupree dumped. I completely agree. June's story does nothing for me. And what if she turns out to be Tyrell and Samantha's mom? They are very close to leaving high school. why should I care? If she turns out to be related to Hayley also, what's the long-term story, and why should I care? I believe Hayley can work on her own as a vixen. Does she need a sounding board? Sure, but you can accomplish that with an outsider's friend group. I didn't think I would be saying this, but I would entertain Kat having a forbidden affair with Jacob. Both Naomi and Jacob need something to do other than case-of-the-month storylines. 
    • That would really just be a redux of the Leslie/Eva story. I really hope they don't go there. My guess for the storyline with Anita that we have "never seen before on daytime" is that it may be a "me, too" story. Anita did unspeakable things to get ahead because of some disgusting producer, and the other person she left behind was a boyfriend who cared about her very much.
    • Reva and Zimmer needed strong adversaries/scene partners. It would dampen the negatives associated with the character and Zimmer's self-admitted excesses. I think that's why she was a bust on SB. I don't know how she did on her return to OLTL because I was not watching at that point. The problem for me with Reva is the same situation with Erica Kane. It ended up being variations of the same storyline year after year. I think if the show had truly broken up Reva and Josh and put them in other viable relationships it would have freed up the characters to have better storylines and character growth. Instead, it's as if the characters were stuck for decades.
    • I am still behind and know what upcoming week you are talking about.

       And I know I'm not ready and have not been since the official news. That was my first couple on that show. You won't be alone.    When you put it like that...same. Like I say in the thread when I'm more interested in what people are wearing than the stories...red flag. No momentum. Just stalling.      lol.
