Soooooo was that Vanessa Marcil's last scenes?! If so, i felt they were very anticlimatic for such a big character! (Big meaning hyped/talked about etc)

I will say that "I don't like you anymore" gave me CHILLS and i don't know why. That was the best part of the scene. VM did a great job in all the scenes IMHO!

I loveedd today's show.

that storyline was godawful so Id hope they wouldnt have gone there if GV was in the role, irish accent or not.Maybe not being able to do one would have been for the best as we got Siobhan out of that :wacko:

Oh wow, now Im gonna have to watch the show later on

You know what i guess I don't study scenes that closely to notice the reaction of one actor in one second of one scene. Acting is never bigger than the story or the characterizations and thats all I feel when I watch both JJ and TG now is acting for the sake of acting with only hallowness behind it. Much of it is not their fault. Its the stories and writing.Fact is Lucky has been a loser for years as have the Spencers and the casting change just exaserbated that. Prime example is TG. I think his version of Luke is resting on the laurels of yesteryear. No matter how good his acting may be, I don't know many people who like or enjoy or find this version of Luke entertaining. Its got nothing to do with not moving on it has to do what's entertaining to watch. And I don't think the majority of soap watchers watch soaps for big character studies. I don't mean that to sound shallow but I don't think they have ever. And character driven stories is not the same as a character study.

On that I'll end it. I don't expect anyone to change their mind. we all have a right to our opinions. I'm just not seeing what value having JJ back has provided other than reinforcing the fact the Spencer family is a dreadful hallow mess, so diff from the days of Laura

For me its just whether I like an actor as a character or not.I have never gotten hung up on great acting unless it involves a genre or medium that capitalizes and showcases that. Theatre, independent films, and maybe more PBS programming.

It's to bad Javier had to go out like that. Good casting once again by Mark Teschner, Kurt Caceres should've been a keeper just like Josh Wingate. Both of their GH roles should've been different!

Glad Lulu didn't get raped. Those scenes were still hard to watch. I have a newfound respect & love for Dante/Lulu after this S/L. Really don't care about Luke or him working with Helena again, yawn rolleyes.gif

I need Molly & Morgan to be sent to boarding school ASAP.

The Brenda/Sonny scenes were dynamite. Way to go VMG! She was spellbinding.

Lucky is still a cuckold to Jason.

I don't see anything all that real or three-dimensional about JJLucky. He is a saint, a precious little angel who must be protected, even when he tells Liz that she was only worthwhile when she was bleeding to death in the snow.

Lucky is irrelevant to the canvas now. Siobhan is an annoying cipher, his relationship with Luke is more disgusting than ever (Luke kills Lucky's son, brags about it, and yet Lucky realizes that Luke is the true victim), he has no relationship with Lulu. His job is mostly limited to cleaning up after Jason or Luke.

They tried so hard to get him out of Liz's story but this just further solidified how useless Lucky is as a character. Taking away the relationships with his kids that Guza sneered at, taking away the relationship with Liz...he was left with what exactly?

JJLucky could leave tomorrow and it wouldn't impact the show. He represents nothing more than memories of a past Guza and JFP and Frons have repeatedly told us were sick, pathetic, and destructive. He is an old family photo you wish you hadn't kept.

Haha, I see yes you did there.

Oh and I just saw Olivia. Totally FF'd that scene. Could care less what she's saying bc Im almost 100% sure it is irrelevant

Kristina thinks Carly is cool. Figures why the bitch is such a shameless airhead

THAT BITCH....go Brenda!

I'm glad the custody case is about to be over. If not, then spoiler tag it. Don't need to lose one of the few highlights of this show.

I'm also glad those idiots a.k.a. Molly and Morgirl's plan was thwarted all within this episode. Seriously? "Let's hang out with a baby recovering from a kidney transplant in some dark abandoned shack! Tee hee!"

I wish Lulu would've attempted to fight back. Punch him, kick him in the testicles... something. Make me actually question my pretty solid judgment that this girl is useless when it comes to all of her "I can take care of myself" bravado.

    • Lord have mercy!!! Not SilkPress vs Eva at Oprhany Gene for everyone to see!!!! Though I loved Vernon shading SilkPress. I continue to love all this fallout.   Is THAT Joey's endgame?
    • WAIT!!?  You don't want to know CM's workout secrets?  And a recap of his insta feed?  What's wrong with you?   Anyhow, today's show had good character moments.  I feel like Sonny/Laura brought it down.  I really like Tracey and Jason scenes so I think I am a weirdo.  Carly/Lulu were actually pretty good as well, but Carly's dress was some sort of bondage/leather type situation?  It was a strange wardrobe choice lol.
    • Oh God When are we gonna see this on BTG?
    • Yeah, I don't really love Felicity being used to push the Chad/Cat agenda.  I don't get the question on Xander's behavior either.  He was wrong and offensive. I like Xander.  I think Paul Telfer is great.  If Marlena did the same thing I would say she's wrong too.  Characters are imperfect and that's fine.  
    • Vanessa told Joey that her best friend had cheated and has a surprise daughter.  Joey said the same had happened to him.  I wasn't sure if Joey was saying he has an adult out-of-wedlock child?
    • Interesting. I definitely think that it's possible that Jan could be a former lover of Joey's from back in the day, maybe back when he was still married. I won't be surprised if it comes out at some point that Jan used to be an escort or something. 
    • Quick question, How are you guys making time to watch all these soaps? I consider myself a pretty organized person, but since I have committed to watching more of the older soaps. I feel all over the place, and can not figure out a schedule that seems to work.  How are you all doing it?   Thanks. I will check that out.
    • Oh, poor Henry had to wait for the grave to finally come "out"! The whole things was McTavish plot dictated so that Hart could have money to pull off his scam of Roger later. The fortune is totally forgotten later. Which reminds me WHY did they fire Hilliard who actually could kinda pass for a midwestern farm boy..from JOISEY Grillo? AM and Lucy's wedding has got to be the weirdest wedding up to that point and really exemplified the McLaiby cheesy run. Universal Studios? And the Spauldings shut the place down for the wedding that only involves 6 people??? Its not even that weird that Bridget and David arent there...they didn't even invite AM's Mom or Grandfather...
    • It seems easy to be empathic that if a random man raised his voice to me at the mall today, I would not be appeased if he later went and apologized to my sister. I like giving the character more to do, because there is a value in representing a person with a congenital disorder being employed, given that the unemployment rate in that community tops 83%.  I just hope they find a voice for the character that matches her functioning ability.  As for Cat, I wonder if she is going to inherit any of Clyde's money?  And that was the reason for the phone call.  I know he's not dead, but he could have named her family as the beneficiary of some insurance policy if he were to be incapacitated.  And the call could have been an attorney trying to reach her to give her money.
    • Oh you may have been watching the Teresa/Tom storyline...or "Terry the tumor" as she was called.
