My first reaction to this news was, "Now we REALLY need Susan to sign on" as my biggest fear is that PP will follow ABC's lead of trying to make CM the *other* face of AMC. I'm hopeful that the fresh eyes over at PP can make some objective decisions in terms of what the show needs, what's working and what's not, what needs to be attempted. I don't want them to catch hell like Linda Gottlieb did for trying to reinvent/rework/revitalize, nor do I want them to lose sight of the show's history and what's made it special... but what does that really even mean anymore? Born, bred, and baptized soap folks have already done that on their watch. Well, looking forward to more casting news. I remain optimistic. The biggest losses here will be in terms of cast (e.g., Debbi) anyway.

I don't know that Ryan needs to be as dominating as he has been over the past 10 years but I do think LB's writing has helped him not be so offputting. I still don't think Ryan is necessary, but hes not an overbearing presence provided they get him off that damn pedestal. He could be likable again if they get him away from the usual suspects. Watching him with Gillian I remembered a time I actually liked him. And as far as leading men hes not the only one this show has pimped for years. Ryan and Zach are like the Jason and Sonny of Pine Valley.

Nearly all of Ryan's pairings have been popular with AMC audiences. Gillian, Kendell, Annie and Madison all received popular feedback from viewers. It's only his pairing with Greenlee that has been dead on arrival for years. Even if you don't like him it's hard to deny his success rate for his couples and pairings. He is a strong romantic lead. As to Ryan being a strong dramatic lead of course he isn't.

Correction: Brooke/JB isn't on the show anymore save for this week's "special guest star" return. :)

Seriously, though, can you see JB relocating to NYC (b/c let's forget about PP relocating the show to NYC)? Because I can't. I'd love to see it, but I can't.

Is that you, Mom? :P

But seriously, deep down, I always -- always -- want the best to happen, but I use the glass-half-empty mentality (even when I'm sure I'm not wrong and something will turn out good) as a defense mechanism because I want to be prepared for the possibility that a negative outcome could occur.

Believe it or not, Ryan is now too old and too worldly for someone like Marian. He is where his older brother, Braden, was, minus Kit's rape. But if they hadn't fucked up Jonathan, I'd seriously bring him back and pair him with her!

    • OIC Thanks. I saw thzt & looked for a prior  ... never mind. 
    • I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (

      ) idea it was to do an almost complete rip-off of the "who killed Tom King"-storyline. That's some quality style writing right there.....  
    • The show is done. It got canceled at the end of January. https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2025/02/fox-first-run-cancels-dish-nation-person-place-or-thing-pictionary-759232
    • I believe it. ESPECIALLY that last one. 
    • Aristotle Dumas. Just thought I'd throw that out there!  
    • Lol is that like an AI type of thing that popped up?
