All he said was that the seeds had been there for a long time, because of Kate and Connie. I never got a big feeling from the material, before his arrival, that this was supposed to be two people. Kate was supposed to be running from her past - now it's more like she just can't even remember most of this.

Someone who knows the actors or the characters. Benard was bored, Howarth was doing his usual disconnected shouting, and the scenes were wretched. This whole titans clashing mindset only works if it hasn't been done a million times and if the acting and writing are there.

She was dissapearing for long stretches, hiding behind "work" and they were building up with her having some big secret. When it was revealed that that secret was that she was seeing a shrink, people thought that was so lame and not worth all that teasing and build up. Now her seeing a shrink makes alot more sense in hindsight, knowing just how crazy she really is and how she's been trying to hide how unstable she is by putting up this false strong front. The alternate personality makes sense given her history (yeah and I think even going back to MW's time in the role). The actress has been the biggest problem of the story, but I dont see anything wrong with its writing so far

I think the writing is the same as when RC wrote for the story at OLTL. A "comedy" character who then freaks out when a hot guy tries to have sex with her.

It just doesn't seem like something which was built up over time. I feel like RC came in, saw that she was a poorly received recast for a character who lost purpose a long time ago, and he went the Tess route for some cheap chuckles and teases.

I cant tell you as I wasnt watching the last few months but I do know that Kate ws supposed to have some secret and Ive read on other boards (including this one), people speculating that she might have an alternate personality. I remember the dissapointment with the shrink reveal and as stated, I think that holds alot more validity in hindsight, given what we know now

    • Roger's return storyline may have been silly but Roger's return was what lead to GL's last golden era.  It was the combination of Roger's return and Robert Calhoun becoming EP that got GL to finally hit it's stride after some really bad years. It will always disappoint me that the ratings during Robert Calhoun's run didn't reflect the quality of the show.
    • He also gave some of the best episodes, like the episodes surrounding Doug's death. The problem with Days was that Ron had a horrible vision from he top. I don't feel the same for MVJ and nothing that has happened in all these months suggests she doesn't have a handle on the show. Now if it becomes an issue I'll acknowledge it, but I'm not seeing it so far.
    • Jean Hackney was awful and that lead to Ben's exit story which sucked. I liked Ben/Val together. Val's love for Ben was that of a grown woman moving on with her life and Ben's love for Val made him willingly decide to raise another man's children as his own.
    • It wasn't just a GL thing, it was an 80s thing. Opulent party scenes on soaps were very big back then. Even in regular episodes where people are just going to dinner they're dressed up like they're going to see royalty.
    • Just started the May 27 episode and first thing I see is that Willow got an ugly haircut since hte last time i watched   I dont have the context for how everthing went down but I know its all Lulu's fault which make her a bish for what she did to Gio
    • I'm pretty sure he was. But point taken. GL really had a thing for masked and costumed balls/parties in the '80's. Everyone looks fabulous, but those poor costume designers.
    • Still here ^^ Come on Prime Video, it's due to bring it back!
    • Got through the eighth season, and it was... painful.

    • I agree 100% with both you and Mitch64.  Soaps have been going further and further off-course since 1981. TPTB just don't have a fundamental understanding of what makes soap fans so loyal. I'd love to be on a writing team with both of you.  Maybe we could put together a real soap opera, and show people what its all about...  
    • They weren't in town, but Fletcher worked at the paper (and we saw anniversary Journal headlines for the 50th, although I don't remember if Roger was one of them), and I'd think Alex would have at least heard of him due to the damage he did to Spaulding only a few years before her return to the fold. I know I have to remember it's not real life, of course.
