At 18:03 on this episode I posted Palmer talks to Dixie about Tad and Hilliary's Breakup.

I think it is time to bring her back!!

Loose-

The opening. I am trying to like it and sometimes I do. I think the layout could work as long as they loose the images that do not have character names. I like the concept though. I also think the images with character names should be presented and styled the way they were on the 2002-2004 opening.

The images IMO would look better if they had a frame and window matting around them and the images could be fade in remain translucent for a few seconds then fade out then after a 1/2 second the next image could move by.

Kinda like here but have the images translucent:

The opening music should be the same as the last they used. I would settle for this one however:

ADD: Erica and Adam, at least for short-term arc, to the building story with Dimi and Brooke. LOSE (or ALTER): Bramwell Hall either expand to allow for more of the Gothic feel, or burn to the ground, and incorporate the fire into the story.

True but its soap aging. And they haven't been on canvas since they were like 2 so they could be anywhere from 18 in real time to 30. But yes if we're being sticklers for birth years, they're a good bit older than Matthew and Jack. Its OLTL though and if Dani can exist/be older than Jack than que sera sera writers.

we had a writer who didn't give a sh-t about continuity when that happen. From all intents and purposes, the current regime seems to have a greater respect for history and I don't think they should just fall back on using the excuse, that just bc the others messed things up, we should go ahead and do the same. I think near 30 is a stretch, but they should definetly be older than Matthew. Mid 20s seems more appropriate. Bringing them back Jack's age would be ridiculous

I just don't see how Frank and Leslie Holden would fit in this day and age. That entire clan is gone. Maybe ten years ago but right now? Not unless you can get Jimmy DePaiva to turn up, and give them a real purpose. Then I guess it could work. Maybe. Sort of.

Frankly though, the show already has enough twentysomethings around at the moment. It's a tighter, smaller show on a budget and people are already acting like this show has never had a youth set before. Save those two for a rainy day. I'd sooner have seen the Noyes siblings recreate C.J. and Sarah for a brief stint - even they couldn't really hang around as major players, IMO. The cast is too focused and tight, there's no room for more detritus (and I like some of the recurring players like Bruce and Nikki, but there's officially too many [!@#$%^&*] Shelter dayplayers).

True- while I weighed in because figuring out SORASing is something I find weirdly fun, I don't think they fit right now- especially not two at once. I so wanted them to part of any other younger set in the past decade from 2003ish right up through Starr. But I don't think we have room for a Jack teen scene plus the A team (sorry Cassadine just my opinion). And like Vee said, there's a contingent that's acting like Dani & Matthew have eaten the show and are the first young characters to ever be played heavily. I think they could maybe work another guy (if/when they move Arturo from Dani's orbit which I don't want for awhile since I love that story) better than a girl into the 20s crew but I don't think its necessary. Love Jimmy DePaiva and Max- that's childhood OLTL to me, my mom's OLTL-- but I was never a Max/Blair person at all and I don't know what else they would try to do with him. Maybe someone here more creative than me has an awesome pitch though.

    • I picked a random episode from the beginning of November. Visually the show does look great. I was shocked to see quite the love scene between Claire and Holden. The LA bar set looks fantastic and there were EXTRAS! Still not a lot of characters featured in the episode. Liked some of the new music cues.
    • I saw the Lull scenes on X today. Why did they paint Lunacy into a corner? LY has been a gift to the show. Unless she's moving on, I don't get it. So Brad takes Luna out of the show and leaves us with Will, Electra, Remy and Deke for the younger set?

    • Even on mute, it looked all kinds of ewwwww to me.    That said...BILLY FLYNN though. MMMMmmm. I was not expecting all of that under those saggy clothes. 
    • I feel like they finally noticed in the viewing and online opinion that Dani and Andre are where the lightning in the bottle is FINALLY, SORRY, ASHLEY and started to run with it.   That said...I do still worry because it's clear MVJ wants to play Dani/Bill since they were one of the main A stories...helped by Timon and Karla also having great chemistry.   I honestly think they were not counting on a full blown triangle where people are taking sides. Go 'head, Karla Mosley!!! 
    • Like I said before, I was worried, but Jazmen really does have a thing for taking breakdown writers that are not my favorites and making lemonade out of lemons. I'm glad he's sticking around.   That said...I think today was the first time I found him having slang in his scripts jarring. Uh oh. lol. 
    • Count me in on not wanting Bill/Dani to be end game. It takes two to tango, and I think that Dani wasn't this wounded bird in that marriage especially when it has been implied that she's been mentally unbalanced for sometime now (and I think that could be part of the reason Naomi is just damn angry all the time). Dani will break Andre's heart in the same way that Bill broke her heart.  
    • I really hope the writers truly notice that Dani and Andre work and change plans. At the end of the day Bill was still a serial cheater and married his daughter’s best friend. Eva and Kat is my favorite rivalry on soaps.
    • You and me both. As it should be! Watching right now and just getting my life cuz their absence on my screen has been felt.
    • I would take her back as executive producer immediately (although, I do feel like Sally McDonald is doing well as co-executive producer). Josh Griffith as head writer is the most troublesome, but demos and ratings are solid, and that is what the suits look at for this soap, so unless a major slump happens, no changes will come. Plus, under Phelps, we did win Outstanding Drama Series twice (2014/2015) after a seven-year spell of not winning. But right now, I do believe where she is is right where she belongs, and I feel like she's happy being where she is.
