I liked it. It's another low key one, but had more plot momentum all around than Tuesday's (which I liked as well) and the ending seems to be leading more into the Todd stuff. More direct progress with Cutter/Nat and stuff about his illegal activity (I appreciated that they made the point that she would know Bruce), more progress with the Matthew being a dead beat dad story (I can't believe some people felt on Tuesday this was not going to go anywhere,) more about the bad stocks, etc...

Usually not a big fan of Blair's singing montages, but this one was really well done. I admit, when I was younger I used to have online "friends" I sorta had relationships with and would watch movies while talking to them with--something I've outgrown but it doesn't seem unrealistic for Matthew.

Seemed kinda mean for everyone to ditch Dani--especially Matthew--as it sounded like they had actually made plans--though if I were her I wouldn't want to dance, by myself, at a club with my parents there... So Dani knows the younger girl with the older creep? And by her working did he mean she was a prostitute or a drug dealer? And was Dani high near the end--when Todd found her she was looking oddly at her hands, but maybe that was an acting choice to show it was dark lol

In the end credits, who is Briana Marland? Love how in the preview Victor instant messages apologizing about the stuffed giraffe lol and looks like we have a new beauty salon set (not Roxie's :( )



(And wow, I actually watched and commented on an AMC or OLTL episode before the thread was already 4+ pages long...)

*I wonder if Victor was behind the Shelter blackout.

*I'm glad the Pellegrino thing is starting to heat up.

*Clint's right. Bo and Nora have been indulgent with Matthew.

*More T&B goodness.

Oh please. He ain't bringing in nothing substantial. If anything, both of these shows should have a frontburner gay storyline since we've already seen how well the online audience responds to those stories. That is a huge viewership they're missing out of. Had AMC launched with Bianca and Marissa (or anyone else) as an actual couple with a storyline, I guarantee the ratings would've reflected that.

    • Well, I can't help but think it would've been written different with CB still there
    • I could've sworn FV let other people direct either here or at OLTL. I may be wrong. IIRC Kimberly is now very active directing multi-cam/sitcom work. I'd forgotten she even did Netflix's One Day at a Time.
    • IIRC MVJ said the million was just the first piece of what Leslie got or was already owed, something they did make explicit in dialogue but not too explicit. Still, I am past worrying about it. I do think they want 30-yo elder millennial Peaches in her Sophia Petrillo wig to be a point of pathos for Leslie. In theory I am fine with that, and don't dislike Peaches despite the jarring physical disconnect and need for a recast lol. But I do think they do a lot of B&B-style whizzing from Point A to Point C with Leslie on this kind of stuff - in one scene she is raising hell, in the next she is weeping over Peaches. There's very little transition to that sometimes that allows for the nuance, and that can be done much better and they can go much deeper with Leslie (and most characters). The newer/younger audience for the show may have less issue with this kind of quick change than we do.

       Thank you.   That was part of my reasoning as well. I think about the days of Kevin, Joey, and Jessica on OLTL or Lucky/Liz/Nik/Sarah/Emily on GH or the Last Blast Kids on DAYS or the Glow by Jabot kids, and it takes me back. Sure I started soaps due to the older cast with their divas, but I do like to see people around my age back then, too. Great memories.   So I love a good relatable teen tale. Bullying. Hormones for the Bad Boy. College choices and internal conflict. 
    • Thank you for the information.  I did listen to the entire interview with Miss Roux -- way back when it was first released.  But I am unable to recall her mentioning Connie Ford, and don't have time nor effort to listen to the entire thing again, just for one small morsel. So again, thanks for responding.    I do recall Roux sounded extremely fragile and perhaps a bit wounded in the interview. I almost felt guilty for even listening to it.  So perhaps that has some influence on my reluctance to listen to it again.  She seemed troubled, to say the least.   
    • Boxer-briefs, huh?   Well...called it on Cane/Giggly Heffa hooking up so not surprised.
    • Do you have Addie’s first air date??
    • Even now Victor is always so warm with Ashley. I liked their brief re-pairing as well.
    • @depboy Thanks. That does help. @titan1978 @Paul Raven Really enjoying the analysis of the production methods and what Monty was doing.  I wish we got some of those biopics here that a few UK soaps got as a biopic on Monty's first few years at GH would be fascinating. 
    • The original 'mansion' was one of the set upgrades they did in 1980 . It was the Chandler residence. When that story fizzled out I think it became Stuart Whyland's house -not 100 on that. But it was revealed that Stuart was working for the Di Mera's (rewrite) so Stefano moved into that house. Mmmm...then it became Alex Marshall's? Neil and Liz lived there also. At some point it was finally replaced.
