So sad to hear you have been kicked out of SOC Smirks. Your love for Nedly is legendary lol

I got into some trouble because of some sabrina stans over there. Back in the days when you were banned the second you said something less than flattering about the swan princess.

And I agree Zeak can be quite aggravating. I take criticism of a soap more seriously when you bothered to aknowledged that there was 48 years of backstory before the current regime took over. Zeak's agenda is pretty obvious: he/she will bash anything that came before Rc and call EVERYTHING rc comes up with the bestest thing that ever was.

Hello! Nice to see you posting :) The more the merrier :) :) :)

However, I don't agree. I don't see an ounce of Carly [past or present] in TermiteNina at all. I don't even see ATWT's Carly in Ava. I saw MS trying to play a young vixen, and she needs to stop! As for Ava, she's a villain on most days and that is the way it should be.

And it shouldn't be! Carly is in her forties with 2 grown sons and the torch should have been passed long ago, but not to a 50 year old Giggly Heffa! Hopefully, Britta will blossom into the scheming bitch the show needs. Carly trying to kill Franco and her telling Scummy yesterday that he needs to handle this was very good and I loved it. However, on a daily basis, lying, covering tracks, faking pregnancies, chasing a man who's in love with someone else? That is not who she should be at this stage in her life. It's what makes Brooke Logan so damn ridiculous. They continue to pass the torch back to Brooke when her replacement should be front and center (Amber)!

This is one of the reasons I miss Wolfe so much. He had it right!

She hasn't really changed much. She's just not doing anything but keeping FrankenTodd relevant. That's a tough job!

As for Nina, I went back and watched so that I could join the discussion, and MS had it all wrong. There was not an ounce of subtlety, and if everyone around her weren't so goddamn dumb, they could see that she is up to no good. There should have been few words while Nina throws death stares in Sam's direction. As I said before, the reaction of EVERYONE was underwhelming, and Alexis and Jillian should have taken the kids and gotten out of dodge so that Nina, Si and Sam could be alone. The side conversations were ridiculous. Having folks whisper off to the side does not make Nina someone we know or care about! Bye Syphillis!

Scummy as the victim is heartbreaking for me. I just can't find the words. Carly's foot should be up his ass and not coddling him because Ava took advantage of him. I'm positively sick about this. Damn maggot!

Brian was really good yesterday! When he's not standing in the middle of the room screaming w/out direction, Morgan is such an enjoyable character. Loved his one liners.

Sobby, Piph, Homeless Guy, Felix...

Mac and Assie Frog

Don't care about that child's bday party, but it was for naught. The whole thing didn't pack the punch it should have.

I think Michelle will definitely fit at GH. Reason she didn't return to y and r is she was bored and tired of playing one role for so many years. She already gave me gossies head to toe yesterday. I am ecstatic to see Maura and michelle together.

Stafford left YR because she lost creative control when JFP arrived, she was relegated to appropriate stories and she was on much less. She'd still be there if MAB were in charge. She now has to settle for GH so that she can get back what she lost at the superior network.

Given the whole "I'm back" promo, I expected something far more dramatic. I get that Ron wants to tell stories faster so it's probably good they didn't have Nina skulking around town for weeks especially considering that people have been talking about her offscreen ass for months. This kind of reveal usually happens at weddings, funerals and costume balls or anyplace with a lot of rooms that various characters can go between so they can ping pong off each other. Not at a picnic table where everybody is speaking in bored tones and looking like they are just killing time.

There should have been more adults not related to Sam and the kids should have been hurried out of there. A child's bday party was just not the right place to do this.

I guess Sam and Si marriage would have been too soon, tired and cliche so they had to find an event, too bad they didn't stretch the imagination a bit wider.

Michelle was also bored. Why is it a crime as an actress u want to do different roles? Jane Elliot on GH stated she left GH to play different roles. Sometimes an actress wants to explore and maybe something happened with JFP and Michelle has never mentioned that. Look at Gina Tognoni who is taking over for Phyllis. Did u all know OLTL tried to get her back for years? After she left in 2001 and they wrote her return in hoping Gina would come back in 2003 at the last second she bailed and passing causing them to replace her with Tracey Melchior who bombed. Then they went to get again and she passed again and then months later she took on Dinah and had an amazing five year run with two Emmys. Had she accepted Kelly back she never would have experienced another soap role. It took her 8 years to come back to OLTL. Again she relished saying playing a different role made her a stronger actress. This is why you are in this biz to play different roles.

Nina bored me and was too annoying. I wonder if GH directed her to use her hands like she did or that was MS choice. Either way is was way distracting. I seriously hope MS can dial it down

I think Nina is like Ron's prime time actresses of the 80s dream to write. He created this whole family with britt, Madeleine, Nina and then entertained Silas and Ava its juicy stuff. U could spinoff of a half hour soap with this it's juicy stuff.

Which is precisely the problem, IMO. Ron's grafting all his dream scenarios and wish lists onto GH instead of writing for the characters and families viewers truly care about. Instead of doing this to GH, then, why can't ABC just give Ron and Frank a development deal and then be done with it?

MS has every right to want to try other things, but funny thing is, that desire didn't take place until her airtime decreased and Phyllis wasn't in every SL. There would have been no negotiations nor would she have called Angie McD, which is what MS said she did. Why was she concerned if the role of Phyllis would be recast?

1 + 1 = 2.

Now that we are stuck with her, MS needs to dial it down a lot.

IMHO, MS should have been cast as Liz's mother. Yes, Stafford would have balked at that, but she could have had her as a teen. This ties her to the canvas and does not limit her. Now, we have to wait for her to bounce from one thing to another until [if] something sticks. Stafford will not be happy working with 2 dead people for very long, but I can't blame her for that.

The thing is Michelle just aired give her time to work her magic. She's a two time Emmy winner. People said this about Maura last year when she came when the role was only supposed to be recurring and short term turned into a full term contract. Nina is a different role then Phyllis and I just excited to see Michelle do her thang. It's hard for lightening to strike twice on different soaps. He k genie bombed on every show that wasn't GH,
