The earring is a little off putting, but wasn't it trendy mid 90's?  I agree this is Tony's best look though.

Genie looks stunning there.  Stefan/Laura make a very attractive couple and I recall thinking they had decent chemistry.  I was always sad about Bobbie/Stefan's quick ending though.

A part of me wishes Katherine had left the show when her marriage to Ned story ended. They never really got a full character out of her.

But I would not trade the Ball and those scenes with Laura and Stefan and her falling for anything. She should have stayed dead, but they weren’t willing to go that far with Luke in 1998. Laura asking her since when do we look anything alike and the way MBE played those scenes was so good, haunting even.

It was possible for the Bobbie marriage to work for a couple of years and still get where they did with Katherine. Might have worked better too instead of trying to make Stefan her shooter and her savior.

It always seemed like MBE really enjoyed playing Katherine, but the character was a mess.  I am not the biggest Kayla fan and I think MBE does better with a character with some edge, but I feel like Katherine was just meant to fail from moment 1.   The first fall from the parapet was epic though!

I feel like there were so many possibilities with the Stefan/Bobbie marriage.  The obvious tension with Luke, but you could have played more Bobbie/Nikolas bonding.  The show started going there a little bit, but you could imagine the problems with Laura as well when Bobbie starts becoming a maternal figure to Nik as well.  It wasn't endgame or anything, but I feel it was cut way too short for a SN/MBE pairing that was probably never going to work because the characters were just too different.

So I’ve kinda compared Elizabeth‘s Lovestory with Lucky and the one with Franco.

i have to say that Friz definitely the better written couple and they had a stronger chemistry. I would even put Franco and Liz into my top 10 ultimate favorite couples of all time. Even top 5 if I catched up with the missing years. 

I still dont get why Franco had to be killed off and was the issue was? Coz it’s not like Franco was still evil or whatever. I have to say that Franco‘s character development is one of the strongest in the shows history if I am being honest

I never had the feeling people hated Friz back then. I always was under impression that they were quite popular.

I mean Elizabeth did some bad things herself. Maybe not as bad as Franco BUT she is flawed herself and maybe that’s why she clicked with him.

i really loved 2016-2019 and how hard Franco worked on himself and his relationship. Like I said he had such a strong character development tbh.

It is all perspective, but one person’s excellent character development is another person’s (mine) watching a show jump through hoops to keep someone because they liked the actor more than the rest of the show. He should never have been Franco. They should never have tried to keep RH and Michael Easton in roles that kept failing instead of trying something else. Poor Rebecca Herbst was forced to prop both of them.

Hamilton Finn might be a beloved character right now if they had cast someone else to play him that had not played several characters already in the same decade.

The writing did make Laura a much more reserved character, but I wonder how much is down to Genie Francis losing most of the spark she had when she was first on the show. That can happen with younger performers as they get older. Even by the time of her AMC work she feels colorless to me.

Wasn't she practically forced to return as Laura by ABC?  I could see that affecting the way she felt about the character.  I could also just see Genie having a different take on how she thought Laura would act all these years later.  

My perspective was that Laura just grew up and was just tired of being on the run.  I didn't see it as losing spark or spunk, but I see how others can.  I think it's probably a combination of both.  Again, I would have to re-watch.

    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
