Im ok with someone like Terri wanting to come back. She was honest & said she wanted new thngs last year but prolly realized its a great show & she misses it. Tinja Walker & Farah Fath can go to hell. Tonja called the project BOGUS last year & Farah up until March 2013 was asking why would any actor wanna work on these shows like they were a step down. What R u doing now Fath? That's right, NADA. Keep it that way.

Terri is also a good actress, loved her on ATWT... I didn't like that her OLTL character when it was discovered she was scamming Joey, but I still liked her and come on, the character's name is Kristine KARR, there had to have been a connection to Katrina and Karen Wolek

I'd love to Terri Conn back. I loved her and Tom Degnan's Joey. I think that was a case of two good actors, with good roles on the surface, but the writing was so bad that it ruined things for both of them, especially Joey. They FINALLY got it right with the Joey actor and then they wrote him like such a throwaway character.

Kristine Karr Kristine Karr Kristine Karr...Holy [!@#$%^&*] man, WE GET IT.

Honestly I don't give a !@#$%^&*] what RC had in mind for the character or actress. She's not here and it needs to stay that way.

Nah, Viki's got enough story. How about Dorian take up with his character? Give her a real man instead of little goof boy David. And if he's going to cheat with Rama I need him NEVER be near my girl again.

Robin was all better 3 weeks in so no more excuses for so many Dorian free episodes. Especially when I'm subjected to the 'A team' Every. Single. Episode. And can RG keep his shirt on? Sorry, little boy chests don't do it for me. Matthew is the worst of them. There's nothing likeable for me (I want nothing to do with my kid/I'm sex starved chasing some internet girl/take my shirt off and watching me drink) about this character yet he's on every day. The actor's no great thespian. And the snoozefest of watching the same drunk/sex fantasy scenes over and over while T&B's 'story' just languishes, Dorian's nowhere to be found is just absurd.

Please new HWs fix this.

I am inclined to agree. Aubrey/Kristine worked best as a short-term villainess out for a piece of the Buchanan fortune. When that scheme failed, she and Cutter should have left town permanently.

I'll agree that RC wrote Joey badly. However, aside from Chris McKenna, I don't think any actor has nailed the part of Joey, not even Tom Degnan.

    • And while I'm doing catch-up, it's good to see you did as well. And YES. This is how May Sweeps SHOULD be. A story climaxing. Another A story being built up as we did with the aftermath of the first A story climaxing. B plots being built up...actually moving and being interested in most of them...if not all. hehe. New story being started. And even the C plots are moving, too. 
    • It definitely did. Nothing major, but I clocked the minor changes too. Passions did something similar with its theme in the later years and people thought I was crazy, but the nuances are there if you're paying attention. 
    • What? A nice little mini-marathon of catching up before work.    YES, PLEASE. 
    • I guess they copied literally everything from that C&R scene, the dialogue etc 
    • And even then...you have to wait a couple of weeks to be sure he's actually dead.

    • Apparently. lol.  Well you know I don't mind standing also with the cheese so  
    • I have nothing to add. Everything you said is on point, and I don't know whether to laugh hysterically at it or throw things at the television. I do know it's terrible soap opera.  
    • Characterization: - I realized I have PTSD from Ted #1’s constant swaying. The moment I saw NuTed, I actually caught myself thinking, “Why isn’t he rocking?” - Leslie makes very little sense from a storytelling perspective unless she’s completely psychotic. What was she hoping to achieve with all her dramatic reveals and aliases? Also… who wouldn’t put two and two together after Laura’s accident? - Anita and Dani come across as mean-spirited, and honestly, the Duprees should just be portrayed as full-on villains. Been saying this since day one—remember when Dani punched Haley and the whole Dupree clan just walked away from her with that “shame on you” look? Wrong on so many levels. Glad others are finally seeing it too. - Mona is sanctimonious and I can’t stand her. She’s the worst kind of person: lower-to-middle class but constantly making excuses for the rich. - Call me crazy, but I’m actually enjoying Ashley and Derek’s storyline. I’ll take this neurotic OCD queen over the sanctimonious, multi-talented nurse any day. Plus, soap couples are usually so plastic. They deal with insane drama but never go to the bathroom, never plan a weekend away. Look at Kat and Tomas—every scene is just them planning lunch or dinner…! - Btw by now André seems bored af by Ashley.   WTF Moments: - No young woman would be even remotely interested in going to a casino (looking at Eva). And it’s wild how the show is treating gambling like it’s some kind of therapeutic hobby—like retail therapy or something. - What are they doing with Smitty’s eyebrows… and more importantly, why?   Parallels with Other Soaps: - I like Nicole, but she reinforces my belief that soaps should never include psychiatrists. If they’re portrayed accurately, they ruin the fun by rationalizing everyone’s childish and selfish behavior. If they’re portrayed inaccurately (hi Taylor from B&B), it’s equally bad. - Anita’s story is giving major SSM vibes from 2017‘s Y&R, when Victor got Nikki to start playing the piano again.  - Karla played a model on B&B too…

        Direction & Continuity: - Pascarelli is hands down the worst director this show has. - Wednesday’s episode started with a nighttime establishing shot of Orphey Gene’s… but all the scenes that followed were clearly set in daytime—until halfway through the episode, when it suddenly switched back to night. - The picture on the piano at the Duprees’ house shows two little girls and two little boys. Who are the boys? One could be Martin (or Tyrell?), but who’s the other kid? (And speaking of pictures… no one under 50 is walking around with a printed photo in their pocket. But I digress.) - I love catching the time on the phones when they pop up onscreen. Friday’s episode was supposedly set before lunch, but Vernon’s phone said 3:15 in one scene and 3:50 in the next. A few scenes later, Kat is playing Leslie’s audio for Jacob and her phone shows 10:40. Cool.
