Thu December 12:

I'm really surprised at how character driven the show has been the past couple of episodes. It makes for such a welcome change, especially if we're not jumping from insane plot point to insane plot point.

Robin makes Maxie so much more likable. It seems as if they might actually allow Maxie to change & grow, which can only mean that she is about to do something horrid (I hope not!).

I thought it was a nice idea to have Kevin as Franco's confessor although I just cannot stand Franco and his whole "whoooo am Iiiiiii wah wah" melodrama. Bitch, nobody cares! And Carly is still going on about Franco's nightmare! Let it go, ho!

Kevin and Lucy were really touching... much more touching than this show has the right to be!

I just can't with Carly having no idea what was going on in Lulu's life because she was busy f.cking a murderer.

Sonny looked bored in his scenes with Dante until he put his hand on him and comforted him.

And Dante's going to fix everything with a baby! Ah, bless.

Someone did a really lousy job of posting today's show on youtube! I'll just DVR GH instead of watching it on the web, ugh!

I think KS looks better. Bradford Anderson looks hideous but it's not like that differs from his usual. And Spinelli and Maxie are both annoying as hell, which also doesn't differ from their usual. Hope today is the last I ever see of him.

Kelly Thiebaud often talks too fast but other than that I like her a lot. Her teeth don't distract me anymore. The scenes with Britt and Nik were nice.

Ellie is much better away from wretched Spinelli. Her actress is good.

I didn't think a character could be worse than Carl from "The Walking Dead" but Felix is giving him some stiff competition. He and this Brad guy.

Nothing ever changes with Sonny. And I think I'm just too biased to be invested in GH since RC and FV make me nauseous. I'm not objective when it comes to anything they have a part in. It doesn't help that GH was never my favorite soap to begin with.

So let me get this straight.

This baby fallout has almost exclusively focused on that selfish ASSCLOWN Maxie and she gets to say goodbye to the baby with Spinelli STILL kissing her worthless ass, while Lante get no final goodbye?

First hopeful home wrecker Sobby Sparkle Pony and now Selfish Maxie? Are these really what moRon thinks we should be rooting for

Also, considering what both Lulu and Maxie did for him last year, it makes NO sense that Patrick hasn't been at least on the periphery of this putrid story and torn between the two. But, then, I guess that would have required him being in scenes outside the hospital or without the Disney Princess and her lapdog Felix.

The Maxie/Spinelli scenes were beautiful and touching. I am going to miss Spinelli and Ellie, not to mention that adorable baby.

Nikolas and Brit also had some beautiful scenes. Most of this episode felt like a real soap opera. And then came Sonny, the Naked Mobster and Duke. I see no point in this story and in all these scenes. Nobody seems smart, scary or dangerous.

Felix and Brad are so pathetic. After falling for every straight guy in town now they have to end up together and pretend that they are lesbians who are falling in love. Brad could be interesting if he hadn't turned into Asian Felix. However I didn't mind their scenes that much because they were not talking about Savrina's vagina for once.

    • I guess I should appreciate Clifton's devotion to his craft, but this comes off as so pretentious. Nothing about Liam's story (or B&B, for that matter) is high art.
    • To me the product placement normalizes these folks. Your bound to see household products around no matter how immaculate someone's house may be.  I was just thinking about her as Yvonne on AMC. Yeah, would love to see her. 
    • There's also the soap opera conundrum: once characters get everything they want, they tend to stagnate. Nola got everything she wanted. One of the things that was really interesting about her was that tremendous need for things out of her grasp. Once that was resolved, there wasn't much left for her to play. Maybe Long could have found something to replace that, but since she wasn't created by Long, she probably preferred to focus on the needy character she created: Reva. They were still significant stockholders. They could have punched back. Vanessa forced to team with the brother she resents. I can see it working.
    • She could have easily tied them into the Cottage Mystery...(they could have easily explained going on adventures with Bea, babysitting) The house that Tony and Annabelle lived in could have been the coachhouse of the property that Qualo and Henry live in, or at the very least Nola would have been totally in on ghosts and secrets of her brother's house. But they kind of just sat around for months.  The clip of Van and Billy's impromptu wedding shows how sidelined Nola and Quint became...Nola isn't even around butting in on them getting married, its all Reva (though it is a more interesting Reva where Mindy and her or going at it and insulting each other..THAT Reva was fun.)  I loved it when those two would go at it. Somehow they could have resurrected that antogonistic relationship and not have Billy worshing at the throne of Reva.  When they brought JC back on recurring they should have had him at least warn Annie about Jeva pulling her down..."Darlin' I love my brother, but when he has ole Reva in his sites he will drop any woman to try to win her back...and then he will get bored with her...she's like booze is to me and you...he hates it but he needs it..get out while you can!"
    • It's been brought up that Empty Nest was a time slot hit. Here's Empty Nest schedule and seasonal rating in comparison to The Golden Girls. 1988/89: The Golden Girls Saturday 9 pm, 6th. Empty Nest Saturday 9:30 pm, 9th. 1989/90: The Golden Girls Saturday 9 pm, 6th. Empty Nest Saturday 9:30 pm, 9th. 1990/91: The Golden Girls Saturday 9 pm, 10th. Empty Nest Saturday 9:30 pm, 7th. 1991/92: The Golden Girls Saturday 8 pm, 30th (final season). Empty Nest Saturday 9 pm, 22nd.  1992/93: Saturday 9 pm, below the Top 30. 1993/94: Saturday 9 pm, below the Top 30. 1994/95: Saturday 8:30 pm then 8 pm, below the Top 30, and cancelled. Empty Nest 7 season run equaled the parent show The Golden Girls.
    • In an interesting turn of irony, when Somerset came onto the airwaves in 1970... it ran against Dark Shadows and beat it in the ratings fairly quickly.  Then when Edge of Night moves to ABC in December 1975 and put against Somerset, the slow ratings rise that Somerset was allegedly having in late 1975 is derailed. From reading the write ups of the final year, the show dropped the May/December romance.. which viewers enjoyed and was getting the show some good press... the original cast member was sidelined due to medical issues, and the show featured pure crime stories without any balance. I think the crime focus was an attempt to compete with EON.  However, people that were into crime stories/mysteries weren't going to tune into Somerset for their fix.. not when Edge of Night was known for that.. and that show was running on a high quality wise when the network switch occurred.

    • Erwin Nicholson's last episode as SFT ep was 11/21. Whitesell started 11/22/85. Erwin was on board from March 8, 1985 so less than 9 months. Whitesell lasts six months (approximately) before P&G moved him to AW for two years where he primarily worked with DePriest. Whitesell was replaced on Search by no daytime experience David Lawrence who closed out the show's last six months.
