I didn't see that. If they are trying to depict confident women then I agree the message is lost. I see women who would like to be confident and try to act upon what they perceive as confidence but have much to learn and move way too fast for their own good. They need to work on insecurities that they have, Keisha tries to use her booty to symbolize she still got it but it seems that that's a mask for aging and not being that young girl anymore. Val may have compromised herself for a man and she has to get over that the right way, she got lost in those moments a few times. April err, I don't get her emotional issues yet right now it just looks like she married too young.

I'm surprised by some of the dialog on the show. I'm not offended by it but I was surprised that April's husband, immediately after sex, said when he was inside her he wondered where she was. Very risque for VH1. The show feels like a late night soft porn flick on cinemax. I wonder what's next for April. She only seems upset that she got caught and not because she cheated on a great guy. Val is well... Val, and Keisha is still doing her player thang. Why does Rick Fox show up on every single Black tv show. :lol:

Is it me or was April's husband the dude Maya was cheating with on GH?

I notice a lot of these new black shows like this and The Game want to be soaps, but they're afraid to commit and hold that title. The writing is also terrible. I wish they would've staffed this with a staff of experienced daytime soap writers. It would certainly imrpove the quality of these shows.

I wondered the EXACT same thing when I was watching that GH episode! I think it is him.

Enjoyed the second episode! I'm so glad the show isn't done with K.C! Stacey Dash and Tilky Jones light up the screen as Val and K.C wub.gif Anyone else love them as much as I do? I really hope they end up being more than friends. I think Val should stop her dating search and just pursue things with him!

Loved the April drama. I thought the scene where Darryl confronted her for cheating on him was a little cringeworthy, though. LOL that Actor (Darryl) wasn't doing to hot to me.

Still not feeling Keisha but that love scene she had with Malcolm was HOT!

"You should have kept your legs closed then just like your keeping your mouth closed now" Go Pilar Sanders! I was hoping she'd smack April but her words were effective enough. Did not see April being exposed this soon. That was fast but I guess that was needed to set her up as a single lady and recent divorcee.

I didnt like how Keisha's man slept with her after he exposed her past. He didnt bring up his missing jewelry. He didnt realize she stole it last week?

Overall I found the second episode better than the first. Val continues to be my favorite

Guza and Higley are free :lol:

I opened this thread not knowing what this was, and it sounds awful. I just don't know what this trend is all about with a never ending stream of shows about gaggles of girls defined by their matrimonial state. How many shows are there with "wives" in the title? I guess this is the opposite. And this seems to be a female only obsession. Are there any shows with the word "husbands" in the title?

      GH: Classic Thread

      By MissPalmer · Posted

      Thank you very much for the information!!! All the episodes that person sells are the ones which appear or have appeared in youtube, and some have wrong dates.  Due to that, I guess some people, who have rare and inedite episodes, refuse to upload them in internet, because then, others make money. I hope ABC create a place in the net where we can see all the available episodes they must have, as Retro tv did with the Doctors!!!! Retro tv did an awesome job!!!! Have a look :

      Dina was Jack, Ashley and Tracy's mom on Y&R.  Joanna was Lauren Fenmore's mother, played by Susan Seaworth-Hayes.

      The funeral was not onscreen - only the Brooks returning home after the service. Not aware of any available clips.

      I would only add that Sam Ratcliff is frequently named in regards to certain AW comedic turns.  And, we know from Carolyn Culliton (tweet 2024) that Sam & Gary put their heads together & came up with that gorilla.

      GH: Classic Thread

      Yes, Stacy does this both for early DAYS & early GH. I have written some for her, for DAYS. But just one tiny point & that is that she only deals with DVDs. I realize that is not the point of your posting but it seemed the right thing to clarify. I know that you know that video tapes is past, not present.

      Hahahha I think sleeping with almost all of your daughters's boyfriends and husbands and getting pregnant... definitely gives Brooke the right to top 1 place. Long live the whore of Beverly hills.

      CurlyQGrl has DVDs of some episodes, that they can sell, but that doesn't matter. What is helpful: they describe the scenes on the tapes, so you can read that as recaps without ordering anything. Doesn't really give storylines, though, which is what you asked for.  Here's the links anyhow. full menu https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/menu.html GH page https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/menu.html GH 1960s https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/eps/gheps1960s.htm

      I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons.
