To be honest they cut scenes here and there in Italy to make room for the Big Brother...

I guess you find lousy network execs everywhere in the world.

Re: bonus scenes-- I wonder how actors are paid for that. Are they included in their episodes guarantee? I'd love to find out.

They were on GH together, but I think they had their characters isolated for the most part with the exception of family events. From what little I can remember, Lois typically interacted with Sonny, Brenda, Lily, and Ned. AJ, on the other hand, typically interacted with Jason, Keesha, Carly [when her skanky ass came on the show], and the remaining Qs/Wards.

Hardcore GH fans that watched habitually, please correct me if I am wrong.

But I don't remember them flirting or really interacting while they were on GH. At least from my recollection.

It's the first time in 27 years that I see KKL throw shade at something, and to be honest she is totally right. The Italian DWS jury has been treating her like crap since the first show. I have followed her, she gave some nice performances and yet she was the only one getting unfair treatment and extremely low marks. And to think that about 9 years ago she was invited as a special guest on the show and they were crazy about her performance. I think the following are the reasons why she's gotten this awful treatment:

1- In the Italian DWS, they always try to make sparks fly between the dancing couples just to have some gossip/publicity run around the show. They paired KKL with an attractive man (of course), kept making references to Brooke's men (wtf) and always had a kiss included into the dance. Of course KKL being in a great relationship with a man, she wasn't too fond of this, and only gave in to a peck on the lips.

2- she doesn't speak Italian. She has to rely on translation, which causes miscommunication. What also happens is that whenever you are interacting with someone who has an accent, or doesn't speak your language, you tend to think that person is stupid or not that bright. That's why many judges have spoken to her in a way that was quite rude and condescending.

3- ageism. I can't help but think that is one of the reasons why she's getting treated like this. This year there's a Brazilian model on the show, and she's as beautiful as KKL, but she's in her 20s. So you see every judge drooling after her, one of the judges even had her as his partner at a red carpet event. Maybe I'm seeing things, I certainly hope I'm wrong, but trust me KKL has received embarrassing treatment.

I'm really sorry for her, because I'm a fan and because she's always seemed like a genuine person and a team player. We'll see how it goes.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested. 
    • Garneau was in the Liberal party and his riding was in Montreal. He was the first Canadian in outer space.
    • I agree. I really have enjoyed this story from the beginning. I feel like it needed the time for us to care about Doug. They've done a nice job of explaining his motives and making me care for him. I still feel like he's doomed and Vanessa will end up being a widow and now I'm invested in that *not* happening now that I've fallen for him. Friday was good but so was the entire week. I think they're doing such a nice job of keeping things moving. We got good movement with Bill's story this week, Chelsea is attempting to date, Andre and Dani are having tough conversations about their relationship, of course Anita reunited with Sharon. There is *so* much going on and I didn't even cover all of it.  I wish all of the soaps would take a page out of BTG book and start rotating their stories. I love that everybody is getting a chance to shine and they don't just sit on one lead story to the point you get sick of it. 
    • Did Jordan Clarke have a departure sometime between 1985 and 1989? I know Robert Newman had three runs: 1981-1984, 1986-1991, 1993-end.
    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
