I was watching this show with my mother over Christmas and the dialogue was killing me! It was the scene where Jim tells the family he's running for governor. All these quick 1-3 word sentences back and forth is so annoying. Perry, hopefully has taken critcisim and improves his writing skills over the hiatus.

On a side note, it was hilarious watching with my grandmother bc she talks to the tv as if the characters are listening to her. The stuff she was saying to Candice was particular killing me

The first episode of the new season should've packed a lil more punch. Not enough of the Cryer family and too much of those 2 nobodies at the hospital with Hannah.

A couple things I noticed is that they've increased the production values. That outside scene with Candace and Jeffrey was nice. Looks like they'll be doing more of those. And they finally built a set for Veronica and Peter Parros. Nice big bedroom and their outside windows showed movement (car lights of a moving car) which makes it appear more realistic. And at the hospital, they had long hallways in the background with actual people moving up & down the hallway, something I've never seen on a daytime soap. The actual waiting room looked like a typical soap set, but those background hallways looked totally real.

Yeah, I only saw tv ads this weekend...and one of those was on NatGEO wild...not a channel I would think of for cross promotion.

Sad...but in a world with Honey BooBoo and that mean dance teacher, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. At least I'm free. biggrin.png

Rubbish! Unadulterated Rubbish!

The show starts with Candace and that speed bump talking about an inheritance, takes it into the house and it runs for the first 12 minutes? Hello, there was a hit and run!!!!!

The scenes at the hospital were embarrassing. The casting call for those performers, "Must have no acting experience at all". Horrible OTT scenes. The father, the minister, the girl and Crystal were all painful to watch. The directing of those scenes were of grade school caliber.

And after all these years, Pete Parros is still trying to act. Wish he'd just give up already.

Terrible return from hiatus jeal0002.gifjeal0002.gifjeal0002.gif

I think there were a total of 6 or 7 scenes. Yes, I've been reduced to clocking the scenes for this clusterfuck of a show!

People keep saying this should be a daily soap but I can't imagine how bad it would be to watch them drag these scenes out for 5 days. Bad idea to spend half the episode having this stranger berate his drugged out daughter in the hospital.

Candace and Katherine are the only reason I watch this show though I have a soft spot for the eye candy Adrian Bellani provides and I'm hoping he's shirtless when his character makes his appearance.

    • When I was a kid, I would watch DOOL with my mom. I remember Denise as Susan so well. And later, of course, on GH. How sad to hear she has passed. RIP.
    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
    • I was thinking that June could be Kat's mother and Eva is Nicole and Ted's.
    • You won't even miss her because Nola will be dominating the show till Raven comes back. Literally... there will be no boring second. Nola is just starting. You won't believe what will follow. Haha. And then as soon as that storyline is finishing up, Raven is back in top form.
