I know I might be alone but Im glad Farah got some actual airtime today instead of just laying there on a bed

No, I dont think she is even right about him. Rex isnt a gold digger and doestn care about the money. That was purely to stick ot to Clint bc honestly Clint has been so cruel to him, even now as his fiancee is dying. He doesnt want to just give Clint, Gigi's heart and a chance to go about living his life happy and normal as it was. He wants to make sure he suffers and having him lose everything is a way to make this deal a bit more balanced. I hate that he's doing it but I see why. I was with Natalie and understands why she feels compassion for what her brother is going through. Jessica was completely wrong for blasting her for giving a damn about Rex, especially since he and Shane are going through their own grief. Jessica loses her inheritence. Big deal. They lose their fiancee and mother. She's a selfish bitch

Jessica is being written and played on the Jess/Tess fence right now and it is not really a good look. She seems less like an empowered, Tess-injected Jessica and just more like a spoiled, petulant rich girl. Are they trying to make us dislike Jessica now so we will hope and pray for Tess' return?

Most likely :rolleyes: I'm glad we saw some softening of Jessica's resolve against Brody today and Viki telling her the illness hurts those around her as much as it does her. Has Jessica always been played as so self-righteous and entitled? I never noticed it before but I also don't think they were prevalent character traits before recently.

I think the part where Messica said that Natalie is just like Rex and all of that was wrong. I think the fact Rex took everything was ridiculous and offensive. I feel like they are making the character unsympathetic. Watching victims become bullies is not a good lesson.

No! Her first sign of less than squeaky clean behavior was when she started giving Viki lip in her rebellious teens after Viki got with Sloan and she later got her outlet in best bud Kelly. She was understandably prickly at times when the Mitch/Natalie stuff hit, and again, pretty understandably up on her horse with Jared and Natalie when Nash died. But she was never imo so complacent with her bitterness as she seems to be now. I honestly see her less brokenhearted as feeling self-righteously betrayed.

yeah she's being a super bitch, even more so than usual. I think they might be attributing this to Tess bc she's been acting more like Tess since coming back. Tess, we saw this year was more about being funny in an insensitive and selfish manner. They played her up for laughs and comedy. That was not who Tess is. Jess we are seeing now, bitchy, ruthless, out for revenge; well that is more in line with Tess from 2008. I just think the writers dont know how the hell to write for her and are VERY inconsistent with the personality of Jessica and the potrayal of her alters

Rex has spent all of his years in Llanview sniffing after money. The glee he had about that ring,

seem like more than just sticking it to Clint. Ultimately Clint will go on with his life just fine - meanwhile, Rex has sold Gigi like old scrap metal, and is living high off the profits. I think he was just looking for an excuse to justify his greed.

I also haven't seen any hint that he cares about Shane or what Shane is going through, but then, that's not a surprise.

They're probably doing this because they want us to root for Tess and to see the character is only truly at peace when she's assaulting nuns with Ford.

Even only last year he was taking big money from Kelly and from Clint.

With or without Tess, the Jessica character doesnt have much to root for. I already knew Id rather have Tess stay out then go back to this idiot.

He was hired by Kelly to do a job. He's a PI and Kelly gave him a case. He didnt take any money from Clint. I stand by the statement that he hasnt been portrayed as a gold digger in years. He has not beenlooking for scams and ways to exploit rich people. That was him early on, but not so much in recent times

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story.

      Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.

      I said on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago that perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. Since we hardly know anything about Leslie's childhood background. In addition, Leslie said she grew up listening to The Articulettes….

      There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.

      I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.

      I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

      I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980.

      Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
