Since I started watching my biggest problem has been this Woman In White story. I don't understand (obviously my fault from not watching) and I don't know that I care about Helena having a surprise daughter, because she seems too young and isn't an important character. What's the point? The teen story with Molly is great and I loved Starr's introduction. The Robin story is still a work in progress for me. I need to wait until more has happened to decide if I truly like it or not. The performances were great and for a shock death, it's very good so far. But there is so much that needs to happen in the future for it to be a great story.

Anthony and Tracy are an absolutely dynamic couple. I didn't expect that at all. I haven't been fond of Tracy since they put her with Luke. Now she's back on my radar and I LOVE her.

It doesnt take any time to leave someone out. He wasnt on the show during the last round of posed cast photos with the white backgrounds. White is much easier to cut out and get the characters tiogether how I wanted. He was originally planned but the lack of a good editable image prevented him from being used

Anything Tracy is love, and I admit watching now she has been one of my biggest pleasures--I almost forgot how much she was a reason I loved The City.

I've heard the woman in white story is being dropped. It makes no sense--coming from a family of shrinks the whole set up is even preposterous in soap terms.

About 30 years too old, I'd say.

I haven't watched GH much over the years but I caught Friday's episode on SoapNet to see how they incorporate the OLTL characters and I thought Starr messing up the name of the town was eye-rollingly stupid! Given how much of OLTL's past history RC and FV tampered with, I wouldn't be surprised if Luke & Laura's early 1980s Cassadine capers were about to get a rewrite.

Also, wanted to say I love your banner. I'm wary of how this crossover will play out but mainly want to see Starr again.

Ah, that explains it. So Sam's the Kendall of GH!

Don't tease us like ABC did with that damn promo making it look like Jason might get his memory back that led to nothing last year.mad.gif

I hate the idea! AMC was not as violent as GH or OLTL so I don't want Erica getting mixed up with mobsters or worse Zzzzendull & Rylee befriending Sonny, Carly & Jason.jeal0002.gif

Watched the whole week of shows in 2 days. I thought GH was really good this week. I didn't fast forward much.

Robin's death: While Robin should have held something in between the door so it wouldn't close, I think she assumed she could get out in time. All she had to do was go in there, get the drug, and get right out. I don't see how they could bring her back from something like that. She was the only one in there. I preferred this than her dying of AIDS.

Sam was so pathetic begging Patrick to give Jason the drug. What an insensitive bitch. When she sees him, the first thing she asks is if that's Jason's drug. She doesn't give her condolences to Patrick until he denies to save Jason's life. At least she had the decency to say it to Anna. Of course Patrick was going to save Jason's life but it was fun to see Sam suffer a little. biggrin.png

Fantastic scenes with Mac and Anna. JJY really brought it. Her funeral is going to be so sad. sad.png

OMG Kelli Sullivan is awful. She had me laughing on Tuesday. And what kind of nut would keep their bloody wedding dress from when they were shot? I wish I cared about this DID story or whatever it is but the actress isn't strong enough to carry the story.

Can Carly and Johnny just bang already? This back and forth is annoying. More Bobbie mentions. wink.png

My little Starr. wub.png

I skipped a LOT of Friday's episode. Very little held my attention on that day. However, I agree that the rest of the week was decent.

Yesssssss!!! I was in no hurry to have the suffering stop, either!

I agree. It was guessed that Carlivati would write one of the females crazy as soon as he began... it's just too bad he picked the one portrayed by one of the show's weakest actresses. I'm glad it wasn't Maggie Mumphis. That would've been unbearable.

Sorry. You know I look out for you with those... but we were having a heavy case of SKIN irritation this week. <_<

    • @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.
