LMAO, you weren't kidding! There is NO difference between drunk Nathan and sober Nathan. My god, he couldn't have pulled off playing drunk even if he had been sloshed for real in those scenes. Oy!

I can't believe how much airtime Nathan is getting. He's been on every day this month except for the anniversary episode and he's on again on Monday (shirtless, of course). Other than being hot this dude isn't even remotely interesting. And his moms are getting way too much focus too. Day after day of them talking about their past that Ron just pulled out of his ass, and more of that on Monday too! Good lord. I'm so bored.

And Rocco? I'm not even gonna comment on that.

I think she's great and watch her every scene. I love she has a good vocabulary and doesn't talk like everyone else, and I love how she inserts German words or whatever into her speech. I have no idea if they are even real words. Donna Mills as her sister is not believable at all though, and I wish DM was able to break into the same accent. That would have been great.

Donna Mills made it worth it for me. I know Madeline is supposed to be the big bad guy to the pure and wonderful-ness of Silas (cant find a smiley projecting vomit to clearly show how i feel about this) but she is the only one I care about in the whole Nina mess. Well there would Be Britt and Robocop if i thought the show would go there but after friday im confident that the show would rather waste their potential away like they squandered any potential they have had so far.

Kathleen Gati might bother me more if GH wasn't already so full of shittastic acting. Many of them being teens and kids. And I find her OTT acting entertaining. She's also much less offensive, IMO, than most of the other actors on GH. I think it helps that I'm a long time fan of Faye Dunaway in Mommie Dearest!

And it's not like it ruins a story. When Ronnie C. is in charge, there's no story potential at all. Even Donna Mills is lost! Hell, I honestly believe even Beverlee McKinsey couldn't make any of Ron's stories work. He makes Higley at her worst look talented. And it doesn't help that I'm so put off by his apparent real life personality if his social media tantrums are any indication.

Liz and Ric had some nice moments yesterday.

God, Olivia is unbearable! Her hysterics are not needed. Her fawning over the baby was creepy. LLC's acting tics are so annoying.

I'll never understand why people ever considered Luke a viable character.

Paevey and Thiebaud should never have any scenes together. Ever.

It's so sad that Donna Mills is reduced to this. What a waste!

Since Carlivati is so hellbent on camp, can't he at least have Dr. O face down the rest of the town and unleash bags and bags of cats on them like the crazy cat lady that she is? That would be a helluva lot more entertaining (not to mention to much more unpredictable) than this hideous dreck. Gati is entertaining but the only way I'll enjoy Dr. O at this point is if she goes on a killing spree. I have a long list. I think Maxie's new friend is at the very top.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
