How much do we wanna bet that this little bastard child is going to be born stillborn? It would be just like MAB to make us sit through months of hearing about this baby just for it to die.

Plus it would give Daisy a reason too "grieve" and everyone would see that she "IS a devoted mother and changed person!", therefore "Redeeming" another psycho.

How a mighty show has fallen. I remember when only a year ago this show was must-see for me with the conclusion of the fall-out from the Katherine Chancellor funeral (some of the best episodes I have seen from an ensemble Soap cast).

They have so much talent on this show, they just seem unable to feature the right players at the right times. It is sad to realize that in order to save this show, cast cuts are required. So many recently returned characters have served no purpose and have in a way ruined the memories of what made the characters great (e.g. Malcolm).

That's Pine Sol Lady wannabe to you. The writing for her is just horrible. As written, there's no way I believe Tucker would have ever hired her in the first place. With or without sleeping with her first.

I guess we're supposed to believe part of Tucker's motivation in marrying Ash is because mama approves?

Were we ever clued in on who knocked Nina up all those years ago? OH, and WTF was that comment from Nina about---where she said there was one Christmas she and Chance could barely afford GAS? WTH? She got EVERY penny of P3's money when he "died". She went to college and became a writer on it.

It makes me so sad to see Ashley graduate from one passive-aggressive, trifling, emotionally unavailable a$$hole (Grambo, obviously) to another. F*cker McNewman looks as dead behind the eyes as Victor does when EB can't be bothered to remember his lines. And that makes me sadder because I really loved Stephen Nichols as both Patch on Days and Stefan on GH. Dude is better than this!

I loved how Phyllis's hair was salon-fresh and her cleavage was just so utterly inappropriate after a whole night in that hospital. And this is from Monday's episode, but did anybody notice Lauren saying "Fenn is safe. He's at Gloria's. Daisy won't go after him there." Like "Bitch may be BSC but even she wouldn't enter that spider's lair!" :lol:

Don't kill me; I actually enjoyed the Lame-related SL yesterday. Tristan Rogers truly works miracles.

    • I totally agree with this, as most of you seem to. Mary Carney was at least competent and reasonably likable; I just feel like she barely had anything of substance to do before she was abruptly given the hook. And I get the backstory of Kathleen Tolan having done a play with Helen Gallagher, but...at any point did they ever actually READ her before they greenlit her? Because...OOF. First time I saw her on SoapNet was right when this GODAWFUL actress named Charity Rahmer played Belle on Days of Our Lives for all of three weeks before she was mercifully recast; her line readings were straight out of a Charlie Brown special. I remember thinking Kathleen Tolan could have played her mother! In the Frank/Jill/Delia triangle, Delia WAS the one who was cheated on, so I got why she was upset and thought it was perfectly valid in theory at least, but of course it was blown up to Wagnerian proportions including falls involving staircases and tricycles. But with Pat/Faith/Delia I had no sympathy for her...especially because it was mainly with Catherine Hicks's Faith and I really liked her.
    • I was going through those episodes from 1984 and early 1985 before they were taken down. Some of the older characters, like Don and even Tom, looked a little out of place, like they were on the wrong show. But the newer characters were fun. It's too bad they lost the character of Melissa. I guess Jennifer took her long-term place on the canvas.

    • The black and white episodes of the show are very special. An atmosphere the color run loses. Dark Shadows was filmed live-on-tape. They could do a retake but it would be very expensive. I think there was a claim that if actors wanted a retake they would curse. There was also a rumor that at one point Joan Bennett accidentally said "Hollywood" instead of "Collinwood" and that necessitated a retake.

    • Loved this IG post from Ambyr about how she and Trisha work together. You can tell these ladies go above and beyond the script, and that they really trust and enjoy working together. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJpJufFPOQ2/?igsh=MXBmcWs0YzIwaXVhNA==

    • It is a shame that more characters didn't go the ATWT-Barbara route and make the ingénue into an antagonist. Sort of like they did with Liza/Hogan/Sunny, less successfully. It is a credit to ATWT's creativity that breathed life in that character for years after she was fighting off bulls in Spain.  But, a character like Liza can only have so many true loves and high jinks on the high seas.  They need another reason to be in the story. Liza's wealth, as well as her acumen to see through fraud, was fertile ground for tons of stories.  But, I feel like the business stories for Liza were always about her being easily overwhelmed, rather than exploring things like her leadership and managerial skills.
    • STFU!! Dante!!! This nonsense of blaming Gio is just ridiculous! Alexis and Lucky are becoming so unlikable. Why are the writers writing these characters so poorly?
    • Keith still comes off younger to me. I thought he wasn't that bad for his first day.
    • To be fair, they were only recently step-siblings.  Their parents married within the past few years.  And, Draper's father Ansel was not coy about the fact that he married Raven's mother, Nadine, for the money. And, Raven's sort of sticking it to April that not only can she have a baby (April has a heart condition that makes it difficult for her to carry a child to term), she could also have April's man, if she wanted him.
