Today I found a pretty amusing similarity between an opening shot from 2003 and a new one from 2024. Can we guys find similar things happening through the years? The same type of shot in the intro... reimagined? 

 

Finn today.

For some reason I see this post just now... I missed it before. 

I'm sorry for my late response. @Anooj I appreciate all your commentary.

What I think about the Macy, Darla, Thorne situation is that it's very reductive, very cliche, very boring, but at least it's more edible than Ridge calling Bridget my princess every episode. At least I don't feel like throwing up watching it. At least the characters are not crazily related so that it will border on incest. 

But I find the sudden reactivation of Darla... unbelievable and her sudden love for Thorne - absurd. She's known this man practically her whole life... and now... just NOW decided she wants his babies. Stupid.

I don't have the pictures at hand, but some I remember:

- Felicia's shot in the 1990 opening looked like OG Kristen's shot (peeking through a gate). The same gate also appeared in one of Becky's shots in 1999.

- One of Adam's shots in the 1998 opening (lounging in the pool) looked like one of Clarke's shots from the previous year.

- Kristen #2 in 2001 had a similar pose to Maggie from the 1995 opening and Macy in the 1999 opening (sitting on the couch dressed in a silky robe).

- The same living room / striped couch appears in shots used for Claudia Cortez (1996) and Jennifer Finnigan's Bridget (2000).

- When Darla was re-added to the opening in 2003, one of her shots (looking out of the  window) resembled Taylor's old shots, just mirrored, and the other one with the satin bed sheets resembled one of Lauren's shots from the 1998 opening.

- Winsor Harmon's Thorne, Lilly Melgar's Claudia, and Jennifer Finnigan's Bridget all had shots taken at the same green window.

Prior to the 2003 affair, Darla definitely showed some interest Thorne. In 1997, when Thorne had moved into his beach house, Darla visited him there and aggressively flirted with him. In the 90s, when Darla was still on contract – she was bumped to recurring once Saul had died –, they tested Darla with a lot of men (Clarke, Thorne, Anthony, Connor, Dylan), but never fully went there. At one point, she even dreamed of being Eric's wife.

    • Did I ever say that? I actually don't want to, but I have no problem doing so when I feel it's truly warranted. Case in point. I'll be more respectful about how you're involving yourself in these kind of discussions when you consider doing the same. Believe me when I tell you the way you attempt to dress up this attitude has placated no one, and this is not a minority forum opinion. It is easy enough, for example, to simply say that "I think many of us have underrated JFP's skills as a woman producer in an overly misogynistic industry". It's a lot easier than spending paragraph after paragraph amusedly shaking one's head while talking down to the clueless proles of SON about their blinkered, reductive opinions. And yes, I am saying that many of us have spoken up crediting Phelps for the skills she obviously has as a technical whiz and line producer. There's nothing out of turn about acknowledging that many posters know where she excelled. Or talking about where she clearly (for many of us) didn't. You don't have to agree, but you could try listening to someone other than yourself.
    • It’s a recurring tension in Daytime: the willingness to take risks can fuel a show's longevity, but the actresses themselves often bear the long-term consequences of audience backlash.
    • I pray Eva never lets Dana back into her life, because she deserves better. Dana isn't a mother, nor is she a parent.
    • Daphnee's performance very much reminded me of Anna Holbrook's on Another World when Sharlene was dealing with John and Felicia's affair. Angry but well controlled and believable. A good start for an Emmy reel. If there is one thing an evil Black mother is going to do, it is lock you out the house. Eva shouldn't have even bothered to go home.  Leslie calling Martin "Mr. President" was interesting. How much exactly does she know about the family and has someone higher up sent her to cause trouble? Anita's speech to Leslie was dignified like Geraldine Whitney (EON) or Kim Hughes (ATWT) would have gone off on somebody.
    • Thanks for posting this, fascinating read. It's clear how ambivalent Wyndham is about Justine. IMO, it reads like she agrees that the end of the storyline was bad, but reading between the lines I think she thought she was doing good work for the meat of it....which was not the case. As bad as the writing for most of that story was, it was truly made worse by her embarrassing performance. After the story concluded she kept falling back into Justine ticks, when she wasn't phoning he scenes in. Not to play Freud, but was it to tr*ll her critics?  
    • I better hear "The Emmy goes to Ambyr Michelle" come Emmy time lol
