I *assume* the show is just being kind by showcasing their... talents. Someone once said KDP has a lil somethin in her contract, I don't know if that's true but that's hella bold if it is.

Let's put it this way, any episode that starts off with Nate wearing an unbuttoned shirt (with nothing underneath) raking leaves and being approached (again) about being being in porn by Rick the smut peddler should set off alarms in your head like the robot on Lost in Space saying "Danger Will Robinson, Danger!"

Too little too late. The show wanted viewers to laugh at and cheer for Todd when he made fun of Marty's rapes and Jessica's rape.

It's Rex, who has looted her for spare parts and is using the blood money to destroy other mothers, who truly degrades Gigi. But then that's what Rex always does to any woman stupid enough to be around him.

When Todd pouted, "My car!" and ran off, I couldn't help but chuckle and shake my head. Yes, because I found it funny, but more because TSJ and JPL are two of the luckiest sum'bitches walking... getting payed that great money to goof all over their material and to delight themselves with their snarky choices. I'm strangely torn because they are after all sort of thumbing their noses at the people who butter their bread, but at the same time, this writing (that is criticized on the daily) doesn't exactly deserve to be revered.

With as long as Destiny's been looking at that pregnancy test, Im surprised her period hasnt come and gone yet. Im sure she could have confirmed it herself by now

Why is it that every teen this show adds, is worse than the last? People thought Cole was bad but then we got Nate. People thought Nate was bad but the we got Deana. People thought she was bad and now we have Baz. Im cringing watching this boy "act". And calling Hope an it?

OLTL's looking like AMC with the outdoor scenes

Loved Viki's talk with Shane. That was really good. My goodness Rex came across so insensitive when he told Shane what he got out of giving away Gigi's heart. "We got the money, the company, the mansion, the jet..." Dang, couldnt he have laid it out on him softer

    • Might be a long shot, because I can't find a thing online about it, but I was Googling the actress that played Nell Cleary (Frank's cop friend that went through academy and then became cops together during the entire Brent Lawrence storyline). To my surprise, she passed away in 2011, at the very young age of 45. I can't find her obituary or anything online about her passing, but I'm curious, does anyone know what happened? Her IMDB only shows a few other acting gigs post-Guiding Light, so she didn't make a career out of it, but I thought she was a great actress in her role as Cleary. Her name was Mary Peterson.
    • What was Ruth Martin's association to the Thornton family?  I only remember the daughter that dated Tad, and she had a buxom mother.  But, did Ruth date David Thorton before Joe?

      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. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.
    • 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 this on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago, so perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. In addition, Leslie did say she grew up listening to The Articulettes too.
    • 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.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
    • 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.
