Exactly. Sam as a celebrity is neither here nor there. It was the fact that Amelia saw Sam on the news after the Metro Hostage Crisis, recognized her as Angela Monroe and decided to build an entire television show around Sam just to get back at her? Are you serious?. The way you get back at someone for killing your father is to give them a job and make them a television star? It made no sense! And then, after all of that, when the Amelia actress booked a pilot and left the role, Sam had a throw away line about Amelia just ditching the show in the middle of a remote taping, and that was it. The whole thing was just a mess!

Sam's backstory is a complete mess. I generally like to pretend that her first two years on the show never happened just because her character was so horribly mismanaged at the very beginning. I get that she was a con-artist but Kelly was never a strong comedic actress in the first place so all of those Quartermain stories fell on deaf ears. She never worked with Sonny or Carly either. Jason is her default setting even though she really sparks with the Cassadine's and in family oriented stories. I really liked her past story with her mentally retarded brother, but they killed him off quite quickly.

Everyday heroes was such an odd story, was ABC trying to capitalize on Monaco's temporary high profile from Dancing With The Stars? Nothing came of that storyline, but then again that was the time when the show was tearing down Sam to make Liz look like the noble Madonna they wanted her to be.

Sorry but I have to cut for my girl

I don't think the Elizabeth 2006 pregnancy storyline did her any favors (to make her noble) when everything was pointing to being her fault she was to blame & here we are six years later & its the same old song.....

as for "tearing down" this is how Guza writes throwing characters under the bus so why should Sam be any different? How many characters have gotten torn down for Jason Morgan because under Guza's watch he surely wasn't going to take the hit it would be Sam McCall (now Elizabeth Webber & she's been written shitty for years). The good news is they reinvented her several times, & redeemed her thoroughly (via whitewashing) the hell out of her that still continues to this day...Elizabeth is still getting thrown under. .to make Jason look good this is coming from Frons/Wolfe...it will be interesting to see if Ron's writing will continue to coddle Jason Morgan & give the Morgans the vanilla writing.

Loved the party stuff with Molly and TJ today. GH needed that kind of teen drama! Hope there's more. I can't believe Molly got fooled into drinking alcohol.

LOL. That was not very good acting from Kelly Sullivan today. I wasn't captivated by her performance at all. I have a feeling it wasn't really Johnny who shot Sonny..

The Robin stuff is so sad sad.png It's really good to have Anna back for this.

rolleyes.gif at Mumphis Kitchen telling Olivia that her & Steve were having an affair! What a liar! And GH didn't even pick up on it in the next segment.

Oh God, I cannot with fauxFake Coward. Woman is doing too much! Tone it the hell down already.

Those Sonny and Dante scenes were nicely acted but I feel like we've been seeing the same stuff with them over and over again. Dante disowning Sonny lost its impact after the first 100 times he did it.

I don't care about Robin "dying", but I am glad its due to an explosion and not of AIDS.

Carly and Johnny are sex, but what happened to Shawn? I wanted my baby to get down with the swirl!

I'm digging Molly and the development of a new teen set, lets hope they don't screw this up!

I'm sure some other stuff happened but it had no relevance.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
