Lee Meriwether appeared in a few episodes over the summer for Jake and Amanda's "wedding." In the early 00s (and presumably the 90s and 80s), they'd list pretty much all contract and recurring cast members from the whole year. I'm guessing since Shannon was contract most of the year, that's why she was with the contract people here. But then again, I missed the whole cast part.

But yeah, they need to do something before the opening. Just starting on Erica like that is too abrupt and blah. I like the soft chord at the beginning of the theme, so they could start that on the teaser and do a slow fade into the opening.

If they wanna go abrupt, I'd have the last frame of the teaser scene in a non-cheesy graphic way rapidly flip from the lower right corner like the first page of the scrapbook followed by several other rapidly flipped pages (you now when you hold a book and frrrrip through the pages with your thumb?) with various cast pics of the past and present. The "dunh-dunh-dunh" would play under that then LAND on the first shot of Erica of the current opening and proceed from there.

Thanks. Agnes'! :)

When people were talking about bringing the simple title card back, I thought it would be... *lovely* if maybe twice a week they had a :15 opening of various clips with the handwritten poem superimposed, Agnes reading it, closing on a shot of her in a big leather chair by the fire smiling warmly, "You are All My Children", chords/*chime*/title card. That would be nice at least for the week of anniversary shows. Kind of like GL's anniversary opening, but not played ad nauseum.

The new opening is terrible! If you're gonna use shots from the show at least try to find ones where the actors aren't talking. And they need to work on the pacing so it fits better with the theme song.

Lindsay Hartley this ain't Passions and you ain't Susan Lucci, tone it down a notch.

Yes she does!wub.gif

LH certainly does have a coke-ish way about her, but it hasn't quite gotten on my nerves yet. It will if I begin to sense that it's more affected than free. She's new to me, so right now I'm kind of buying it as the "way she plays her instrument" or what have you.

CBL looks like she's going to open her mouth and sound like Penelope Cruz.

Nope, they're still a day off though I don't know why they didn't just reedit a few episodes to catch up in the last 6 weeks. :blink:

Agree on both counts. They should've brought back the "dum, dum, dum" lead in.

I want to believe that Greenlee is about to revert to her true self and that it will lead Ryan to finally leave her for good, but I just don't see that happening with Frons & Carruthers still around. What I'm most dreading is Greenlee getting all up in Madison's face, Ryan butting into Madison's life and Kendall making excuses for them while poor Madison has to deal with all 3 of those idiots!

To the best of my knowledge she *is* still on contract. I don't know WTF is going on with her and AMC but I have a pretty good idea how this is going to end and if I'm right then I'll have no problem throwing them on the trash heap with their inbred, redneck cousin, OLTL.

Good. ER had/has a phenomenal rack and a pretty nice badonkadonk to go with it so CBL should play up her curves too. Also, Binks has an eating disorder. For that reason, IMO, it's important that she not resemble a famine victim like Erica, Kendall or Greenlee. The character needs to be a woman who is comfortable in her own skin.

I used to LIVE for the "dun-dun-dun". LOL!

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
