Yes to this.

EJ was terribly written for most of his 8 years on the show. IMO. A lot of missed opportunities and wasted potential. BYE. Won't miss him but will miss the potential that could have been with the character and even the Sami/EJ relationship.

LOL. I know it would be ridiculous because of the age and I don't know if they'd go there but it's always been in the back of my mind. I felt like that's what was being hinted at, with Jordan taking Ben and some comments here and there. Maybe I was reading too much into it. But considering the real life ages of parents and kids on this show, nothing would really surprise me.

This whole Kristen/Theresa embryo switch is rubbish. I also don't get why anyone wants Kristen to be pregant - the actress is 55 and the character not far behind. Kristen has a history of conceiving problems and the one time she fell pregnant, she miscarried. But suddenly in her mid-50s, her womb is the fertile crescent? blink.png

I liked that Eve instantly regretted her mistake with JJ. I wish the guilt would cause JJ to stay away from Beige now. I don't believe he can possibly love Beige, because loving Beige is like loving a notebook or a random stick of celery - an inanimate object that you can live without. I know the script indicates otherwise, but True O'Brien is dull dull dull.

First impression of Paul is that I don't like him. Why is it so hard to write likeable male protaganists on soaps? I can't think of liekable nice guy leads on any of the 4 soaps - they're all complexed, moody, self righteous, douchey and/or boring. It can't be that hard to write, but all the HWs think all these characters need an "edge" and the writing and acting in general fails in the execution.

Ben is a wooden block with anger management issues - I so don't care.

    • In a way, it's a shame that Lynne Adams decided to leave the show when she did, because I think Mike and Leslie were positioned very well to become GL's tentpole couple.
    • Correct. Lynne Adams (Leslie) decided she wanted to leave the show, as Leslie hadn't been given much to do since Adams returned as Leslie in 1973 (and now everyone can witness her first scene returning as Leslie in 1973 on YT - unreal) I don't think the Dobsons tried to stop that from happening, as I think they wanted Mike single again. I agree, @DeeVee - they should have let Mike and Leslie have a child together. I wonder it they thought it would be too strange to have two siblings that could also be cousins

      . As far as Ed and Holly go, at least they allowed Ed to show up at the end of TGL and take Holly on a "trip around the world". IMHO, I don't think Peter Simon had as much chemistry with Maureen Garrett as Mart Hulswit had, but I'm glad the show gave them a final scene together.
    • IF this gets a renewal I can't see LY sticking around    
    • Well, I'm glad to know Devane and I are on the same wavelength, lol.  But seriously.  I don't believe there's any other word to describe the machinations that the producers constructed in the name of keeping Greg and Paige apart.  Greg and Paige made Sam and Diane look mature by comparison! Which would have been just as well, since a character like Greg Sumner didn't really belong in the '90's, as the storyline with the task force proved only too well.  If KL had returned for another season, it would've needed a MASSIVE overhaul, including ditching Greg, Paige, Claudia and Anne.  Mack and Karen would've needed to be there for the sake of continuity; and maybe some mileage could've been gained from exploring Gary's new life as a widowed single father.  (I still would've loved to bring back Julie Harris and have Lilimae help Gary take care of the twins).  Otherwise, it would've been a new era for KL, one without The Sumner Group, or stories like Wolfbridge and Empire Valley.

    • Didn't she know when she involved him in her scheme, before the character was introduced? I thought she tracked down Janice's son and poisoned his mind against Rachel in order to get him on board.  It's a bit confusing because in the summer of 1988 we get a lot of Drew Marsten (whom I had forgotten was Nicole's ex) and mentions of a mysterious Countess and also Reginald working to undermine Cory. Drew disappears around the same time Evan arrives, and gradually we get the reveals that he is in cahoots with Iris, Janice's son, etc. 
    • I apply totally different standards. For Felicia & anyone else in Bay City it's reel as opposed to out here in the universe where it's real.  
    • And that is why western civilization is screwed up with organized religion. but thats for another board.
