Unpopular opinion, but the Chelsea coming out scene reeked of Afterschool Special and I really didn't care that we didn't see her coming out to her grandparents. We were spared the 'We're Duprees and we're better than everyone' speech.
As a gay person, I kind of like watching straight people acting all messy and cringey (which is why I probably have a soft spot for Ashley/Derek... and sometimes wish Jacob would take his balls back from his warden Naomi) LOL
If the show were willing to take risks, I would think the Dani arc is basically a 2020's version of Betty Broderick... but I doubt Dani would actually shot/kill Bill and Hayley. Though I do have a feeling that if Hayley is pregnant that Dani will cause to miscarry the baby.
I don't think that's clever, though. Maybe the writers should forget about throwing shade and write dialogue and story for Ashley and Derek that isn't boring and doesn't paint them as boring.
I agree -- both of those still need a ton of work. I still say the fades to commercials look like someone walked past the camera and hit the OFF button.
Yep, this was regression in every way. Dani was all hopped up with Chelsea like she'd taken some party drug, and then it got worse when she literally broke into Bill and Hayley's house.
-- The fakeout scene was good, but I don't want them to go to that well too often. They're already in danger of doing that.
-- I'm good with Brandon Claybon's acting style. It's different, but in a good way.
-- It was an interesting turn to have Tyrell question Jessica's intentions.
-- I didn't see anything special about the plated food on today's show. At Orphey Gene's, it looked like everyone had a plate of french fries.
Julianne Moore has always spoken positively of her time on As the World Turns. She also had the good fortune of being on that show during the Calhoun/Marland era when it was at its creative peak.
Hard to believe that April 2 was 40 years since Julianne Moore first As the World Turns episode.
