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.

    • I love this more than any theory I've seen yet
    • I wonder what Dana and Hayley's first scene will be like. Dana has fear/contempt for Bill, but I can imagine Hayley being curious to meet her.
    • Daphne was just FANTASTIC today. I know people wanted histronics and it may still come but she was pitch perfect today. As much as I like Maurice she's gonna need someone just as strong now and it's just not him   
    • Today's episode was one of my favorites so far! TT's Anita standing up to Dana was perfect. I was surprised with how restrained Dani was, in some scenes, I forgot she was there. The ending "Amazing Grace" montage was brilliant. I like how Vernon's reason complements Anita's emotion. DD was terrific portraying her mixed sense of betrayal and humiliation. I liked her comment about how she condescended to Dani after her breakup with Bill, unaware that she was also married to a cheater. I am going to miss MJ as Ted and I don't agree with the criticisms of his acting. His conduct on social media is a different story. I agree that BC's Martin has come into his own. He and MM have also discovered some chemistry which allows them portray a believable couple. Eva is the most empathetic character for me. Seeing get locked out of the apartment was heartbreaking. I also liked that the writing for Kat has been much more nuanced than one might have expected just weeks ago. I liked the expression on Kat's face at the end when she was embracing Nicole. Kat has probably never seen her calm, poised mother so upset. CM's face portrayed a sense of discomfort now that the carer/child roles have been somewhat reversed. I believe now more than ever that Kat is Ted and Dana's child. Eva is Ted and Nicole's child. Dana switched them as insurance - if Bill came after her to take or harm Eva, Dana would reveal that Eva was actually a Dupree, giving her some protection. She would also be secure in the fact that her birth daughter Kat was ensconced in the privilege and security of the Dupree family. The way Dana raised Eva - "weaponizing" her instead of nurturing her as a loving mother - also aligns with this theory. 
    • @Paul Raven - thanks for reviewing the content for accuracy.  You know, the nice thing about AI is that you can teach it things, so I am having it review the classic AMC Tumblr to increase its accuracy.
    • If you begin where they suggested (#6077), it's VERY easy to follow because it's right at the beginning of a new storyline.   Another story is winding down, but it's fairly easy to catch on. The central characters in both stories (the one that's ending & the one that's beginning) are members of the Madison family.  The Madisons have recently moved from Hollywood to Monticello.  The father (Owen Madison) is an ex-movie producer.  The mother (Nola Patterson Madison) is a washed-up, alcoholic actress who can no longer get a part in a film.  Owen has a daughter named Paige Madison, and Nola has a son named Brian Madison.  The Madison family left Hollywood primarily because the daughter (Paige) had gotten involved with a group of "renegade" young political activists who stole some guns to furnish to South American revolutionaries.  Paige Madison is being targeted for assassination by various members of the group (known as "the Tobias gang").  As a result, Paige has a full-time body guard, a former Monticello policeman who resigned from the police force because he accidentally shot & killed a 14-year-old boy who was armed with a cap pistol.  As the new plot (a movie called "Mansion of the Damned") takes shape,  the existing plot about Paige, the assassins, and the bodyguard comes to a conclusion.  The other characters on the show are all playing supporting roles to these storylines, and it'll be easy to figure out who they are and how they come into play.
