Nah.

And the little kid playing Spencer, while adorable, isn't really acting. He's flailing around and hamming it up for a very appreciative, affectionate group of adults. They give him antics and precocious lines and he just throws his whole body into it and that's enough for them. Sometimes I enjoy it, but I wouldn't call it much acting.

Well its a vast improvement from Morrow to Ryan in the looks department. Seriously Morrow isnt no Oscar winner either in the acting department.

Seriously if you had the chance to act opposite either Joshua or Ryan...who would you pick?? Not a HARD choice...lol

I don't know the original version. But in RC's version, Franco hates Ava because she hid/kept Kiki from him. Even though Ava was hiding Kiki's paternity, she wasn't hiding Kiki from Silas, Silas didn't know she existed. In this version, they were never married. Ava left Franco because he was obsessive about the baby. Why specifically she felt naming Franco as the father was a better option than Silas hasn't been parsed out---but it seems reasonable to assume Ava feared being outted as Silas' mistress would have landed him in jail for trying to kill Nina.

What the !@#$%^&*]? This is mess. What a convoluted series of unfortunate events for the viewer. Twists, reversals, musical pa-/maternity does not constitute good storytelling. Such crap is one of the many things I disliked about what they did at OLTL. The audience needs to know that some things are set in stone, that some things are firmly established and true. I can't emotionally commit to a soap opera, a program of a genre which should rely upon and anticipate my emotional investment, when I'm gut guarded, blocked, fearing, knowing, that anything I accept as fact will be yanked up from under my feet in a matter of weeks. It's not clever, it's not fun, it's not edge of my seat aha!, it's just annoying. These jokers would have Phoebe as Erica's teen mom who sold her to barren Mona, the true genesis of their animosity.

Here's Anna again, looking like a complete idiot. As Diane mentioned to Liz, Ric is way too smart to A. Keep the gun and B. Have his freakin prints all over it. Love that Molly supports her dad and keeps calling dumbass teenage Alexis out on being convinced due to getting laid.

I get that the bad guys have to get away with things to remain on the show, but the level of stupidity that they bring the cops down to for it to work is just insulting.

I'm still stuck on Thursday and Michelle Stafford's pathetic attempts at appearing sweet and loving and oh-so-genuine. The fact that we had to sit through several, 2-minute-plus scenes with Coma Ho and Ostrich Boy was relentlessly painful. Please God, let her secretly be nuts. If not, then this bitch must be 100% clueless for wanting a man who hasn't seen her for 20 years to sleep with her on her first night back. You just know Ron wants her to be full-fledged Phyllis 2.0. After all, it's not as if Stafford is playing anything more than Phyllis' giggly-"hey girl" dimension. It's literally the same character.

I'm glad someone pointed out the absurdity of Nina showing up at Danny's party, although it was done in tandem with "she's so beautiful and fragile." Well, hope John McShit doesn't break her vagina when they have their wheelchair sex, then.

What else happened? Oh, some sh!t with STFUCarly and Ava "Bitch, I'm pregnant!" Jerome.

And Patrick crying. Patrick's been crying nonstop for years.

    • No to Andre/Ashley. I'm not sensing any connection. Kat is playing a dangerous game going against Silk Press Sheila.
    • Today was definite a good episode day with surprising 1:1 scenes between Bill/Silk Press Sheila & SPS/Kat.  And the final long scene between SPS/Kat with the close ups and cliffhanger reminds me so much of old school P & G/Bell soaps. It fits since Judy Tate (script writer) wrote for P & G soaps for years and Zimmerman (breakdown writer) worked on both Bell soaps. I even liked the Ashley/Derek scenes only because it feels as if there is a point to the scenes (lead up to a break up perhaps).  Andre/Ashley having a scene tells me that the show is still testing them out.. and I think showing the growing disconnect between Derek/Ashley will eventually lead to the two possibly dating. NuTed.. he seems more humble and less boastful/confident than the previous Ted.  Perhaps the show felt the previous Ted couldn't play remorse/humble.. and they made the switch.  Time will tell. Lastly... it was a Dani free day

    • Goulet also had an odd way of speaking - very clipped and brisk, like she had just gotten out of a '40s film. She sounded out of breath. She had this on all her soaps. She was a better actress than Tolan and did well enough with Mary's grief over her marriage in her final week or two in the part but had no real spark.  I agree they may have found a better Mary if they had tried harder. For some reason the recasting for the Ryan kids was never what it should have been. I don't know what was going on with Barbie Siobhan. Maybe that was ABC.
    • The finale peaked at 31.1 rating when Katherine hit Bobby with her car.
    • Exactly. And it's not like Stephanie didn't live a life when Hennig played her.  There are so many stories and relationships you can mine from her past.  And we just got......a book and sex with Alex or the random Bobby backstory which no one needed  I trust new writing can get the character back on track.  Like I said, I do think Abigail Klein has charisma.
    • Today (Thurs May 15) eppy not on paramount *menu* but it's on cbs.com. If you take the cbs episode URL and substituted paramountplus for cbs in the same URL, you get the episode on pplus https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/Huj7bAYV8H6T038u9cXam3bk6QXNkM2Y/ https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/video/Huj7bAYV8H6T038u9cXam3bk6QXNkM2Y/
    • Really good episode today. Even the characters who usually annoy me, like Chase and Brook Lynn, got some sweet scenes. I also appreciate that they're finally giving Lucky more to do, letting him in on Ric & Ava's blackmail scheme. And those Liz and Lucas scenes were fantastic;  Van Hansis has been bringing such playfulness to the role of Lucas, he brings out the best in scene partners like Laura Wright and Becky Herbst. It was also nice to get Liz's perspective on why her romantic rapprochment with Lucky is moving so slow; it makes perfect sense that she thinks he's not really capable of settling down, even if he wants to be with her. 
    • I thought Keith did great as well. His scene with Colby was what sold me. He displayed the emotions that a man who knows he's made a mistake and wants to rectify should have. Its funny how Maurice has been given passes in his acting that other actors have not. What Keith has shown me is that he can atleast keep up with the ladies in his story instead of them acting circles around him when Maurice was playing the role.      
    • Also Murder, She Wrote season 3 finale was the week before.
