Not surprisingly, it was kind of a mini-GH cast assembly at Finola's screening. A couple of pix I took from Saturday (no Maurice though, for Sean for that matter):

Being among some Port Charles denizens was enough to inspire me to buckle down and watch Monday in its entirety as it aired (how's that for a segue?), and it reminded me why I've been on and (mostly) off watching the show the last few months. Yeesh. Just sloppy, both in the plotting and general idiocy (I do like Duke, but definitely wasn't big on that Emma scene), and the gracelessness of shoving the pet cast members down our throats and desperate attempts to make a viable character out of a short-term plot point stunt cast gimmick...

I didn't expect SON to be over run by that kind of idiocy. There's only person that comes to mind who subscribes to that particular doctrine.

But to be totally honest, I don't believe this is a bad story with Carly, Todd 2.0 and Sonny. The problem is that it's not for the intrisic value of a good story from back in the day. It's to "redeem" Todd, so they won't fire from all cylinders with this story. Once, the town begins to hate Carly, who should be arrested and tried for attempted murder (and humbles this woman), this switches to Todd 2.0 and how he is just like anybody else. He can then commence to completely take over the show. He's already good in an emergency situation. On the phone with 911 [as Carly just stands there wringing her hands...shock, yeah I know] as he hands his buddy, Sonny, something to put pressure on Liv's wound. It's just too obviously what's being done here, and it stinks!

Prove me wrong, Craptini!

Does not matter at all if you tell all parts of it and the plot is not soley for the purpose of "redeeming" Todd 2.0. Carly being berated by half the town puttting Todd 2.0 on equal footing with all of the PCites? That's not the story that should be told here. We shall see!

Exactly. Why is this chick so thirsty to go to prom with him? Why is she taking so much delight in gloating in front of Molly (not that I give a f-ck about her)? She has known these kids for like a week and a half!

      I suspect we would have had a few withdrawals next year if Israel had won. I don't think many people would relish going to Jerusalem as things stand now. Not to mention it would have been a prime target for terrorist attacks.   
    • And they've given us plenty. Sets, outdoor scenes, music licensing, etc. And that was the point of me using DAYS... so. It's obvious the casino set is not intended for long-term use, hence why it's likely it wasn't as evolved as the other community sets, etc.

    • I just had thought of how to save the Perkins family. (Inspired by Rituals) -- What if Marisa Perkins was Augusta Lockridge's sister? Fictionally, they could've both been local girls, one married rich and one married poor. Originally, I was going to suggest that Marisa be Sophia's sister, but then I realized Joe and Kelly would've been first cousins.  Of course, it would've truly inspired Sophia was if Rosa Andrade sister, with Rosa and Santana moving in to help CC raise the kids once Sophia disappeared.  While this could've avoided both gross CC and Santana affairs, the times were not right for a story about intersectional inequity.
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJxW5DLJLId/ Another World is my forever favorite soap opera. But it's finale is almost universally hated by its fans. What this is, is an edit where I've deleted everything I didn't like!!!
    • The Perkins family had potential to be a nice alternative to the more dysfunctional Capwells and wackier Lockridges... but I think a few factors did in the family. 1) Recasting of Joe Perkins 2) Bad casting of the Perkins Patriarch, and the one note writing for that character. 3) Lack of antagonistic interaction between the Capwells/Lockridges and Perkins.  (There was no awkwardness between Jade/Ted.. or CC disapproving of his son being friends with that Perkins girl, etc). 4) Wasting of Jade thus wasting the potential of the actress (which was realized on Days of Our Lives).  She had more potential than Laken oddly enough. The only member of the Perkins family that had appeal and a somewhat thought out story arc was Amy.  
    • @GymnastGuyThanks for posting the three new Capitol 1985 episodes today. The two labeled March 12, and 13 are misidentified. The March 12 labeled one actually aired November 12 1985 which I figured out because Kenny Rogers' movie Wild Horses aired November 12th and it was announced over the "March 12" Cap credits. In addition, Craig Carlson is listed in the April credits but not the March. Craig left Capitol sometime after July 1985 before he rejoined OLTL in the credits by October 15, 1985; he was replaced on Cap by Radcliffe and Hamner. In these posted episodes Radcliffe/Hamner names appear in the March 85 episodes but not in the April.
