I'm intrigued by what's the story behind the pills Andre is taking but the most interesting part about him was during that scene with Cookie when he hugged her ... and got that look. I don't know why, but it was very reminiscent of something J.R. Ewing would do. In that moment, I saw A LOT of potential for him being the J.R.-type character for this show, if they play it right. I really want to see him scheming and manipulating to get what he wants. Since we're all making these comparisons (Cookie is Alexis! Jamal is Steven!) one can say even his wife=Sue Ellen! lol

Do we have to stick to comparisons with just one soap? :lol:

In all seriousness, I disagree that Andre feels like Adam. Adam was an outsider who missed out on all the wealth and privilege the rest of his condescending, unaccepting siblings had. He also barely had his father's acceptance or cooperation. Andre is a different beast: The oldest brother with his life seemingly figured out, business acumen and a strong belief that he ought to be his father's son and heir, even if he has yet to have his approval. Now who does that sound like? :P

I love the show, I'm glad I watch it, I stop watching things that was on Fox. Too bad Platinum didn't last, we could have two black musical show on air. I like the whole cast, Hope to see some of my favorite rappers & singers on there.

I still don't see why Jamal & Hakeem going to be in competition with each other, one is a rapper the another one is a singer.

I think the father( Can't spell his name) going to spend more time around Cookie once he's inform that she been talking to the feds. Then that leaves his girlfriend getting jealous.

I still think its surreal that they are doing a tv show together on network tv. I know she has a career with tv but he especially is one I associate as primarily a film star. I wonder how long he will stick with it. The pilot already set him up to either go to jail or be killed off within 3 years due to disease

Speaking of which, I wish this wasnt on Fox. It should be on cable or better yet a premium channel like Showtime or HBO. I think the censorship will limit it as you just expect to hear cursing from a show like this

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
