The extra walking in front of the camera??? SMDH! And they wonder why the mantle has only the pictures that come with the store bought frame. No awards for a reason, hacks!

The only way Cartini will get an Emmy is if they steal it. Low rent all around!

I think that is intentional. I think it's supposed to feel like this is all happening in real time and the viewers are watching things as they happen like a fly on the wall. We are supposed to be viewing things like we are a person actually watching this happen in front of our eyes. At least that is what I think we are supposed to be viewing. I think they did shots like these at times on OLTL too.

It looks downright awful. I may have happened on OLTL but I dont recall it. If its intentional, then thats almost as bad if not worse. At least if it was an accident, they could blame budget cuts and not wanting to retape a scene

I remember a whole bunch of odd gritty shots and the camera flying all around and doing different things during their stint on OLTL. Sometimes the camera was obscured and there were even times when they had shots that were upside down or tilted. I really don't think it was a mistake though, I really do think they want to make this show look raw, gritty, down to earth and edgy. I think that's what they wanted to do. They wanted to make that scene look like that of a point of view from an outsider who was at the metro court and watching Jason and Carly from a far. The person that walked infront of the camera is one of the waiters so that makes sense. They wanted the viewer to be in the scene with Jason and Carly. The viewer was looking at the dinner scene between two friends like they were one of the dining guests. They do camera shots like that all the time with Kristina's reality tv show documentary style talking to the camera and they did it with the camera on camera viewing with Todd watching Johnny too.

They had some of that, but no one walking in front of a camera that I can remember. It just looked cheap and laughable.

I'm sure it was a mistake they didn't bother fixing. I'm sure they are over there putting as many episodes in the can as possible.

That' s all she 's going to do and have done for a decade....or maybe over a decade.

But I totally agree,

that's when nearly every character on the canvas gave Liz a verbal beatdown. ..IMO it made no sense to me whatsoever to brown-nose Jason's in this " bad mommy " storyline to exc u s e Jason for never giving a crap about this son

It would have made much more sense for her to be "equally " angry with him. Jason kept Michael ' paternity from her & Emily also knew about Jake and didn' t te ll her .. . Jason is a mob enforcer he could have told Monica regardless what Elizabeth sai d .

Perhaps that was strategic editing or something. Maybe Burton messed up the take but they liked what they saw from the early part of it so they had someone walk in front of the camera at the beginning of take two so they could roll the two takes together. It's definitely cheap but it would accomplish that goal.

I def. think the extra walking in front of the camera was intentional. This show has been looking so jacked up--I appreciate FV and his teams attempting creativity (the soap medium has never had any interest or esp. flair for form), but it is translating all wrong. But I still vote FV's OLTL as visually amazing by soap standards. But sh*t's not been worked out on GH--the new lighting, set design, wardrobe, and camera operating has been a sh*tshow, and I thought all these (save for wardrobe) were top-notch on OLTL.

And I still cannot handle Roger Howarth!!!

    • I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.
    • Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.
    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
    • It's interesting to watch this having watched The Doctors. I'm not sure I'm seeing that much of a difference in the characters Gerald Gordon and Anna Stuart played on The Doctors and what they're playing here.
    • I keep forgetting a huge chunk of that year was written by scabs. You're probably right, because by the time the strike was over, they were likely planning an exit for Alan's character as it must have been obvious by then that Bernau was not going to return. If he was still there, it's also doubtful they would have approached MZ and MG about coming back. Wild.
