I think Kirsten has plenty of talent and charisma, but she can be a lazy performer sometimes (2013). I don't think she is at the moment but I also don't think the writing is doing her any favors. I also think she has made some very questionable choices in the past while in the public eye or on social media, and she's had some other personal struggles. Right now I'm just glad she's apparently healthy and happy with her new family.

Remember when the MetroCourt got a makeover and there was no mention of it on the show until well after the fact? Well I thought I noticed the Quartermaine set looked different, specifically a new couch and wall color. So I went to YT and watched the 2014 Thansgiving episode and sure enough the set has changed only this time there was no mention on the show at all.

The window sheers were swapped for blinds, the wall color is more muted and ashy, the couch is new, the desk chair is new, some vases were swapped out, a lamp was removed, the art by the desk was changed, as was the art over the fireplace. So why make no mention of it being redecorated? Do they do this often? I really wish they'd redecorate Carly's house because I hate the look, in close ups it looks shabby. Now that I think about it, we haven't seen that set in a while, maybe it will be different next time it's on screen.

    • Definitely. It's not bad at all, but yesterday was just an anomaly considering we haven't had an episode that bad before. 
    • I caught most of the episodes during that time period.   Subsequently Bell or Alden (I forget which) revealed that Peggy's rape story was done for strategic ratings purposes.  Chris's rape had occurred earlier, before the show really caught on & was near the middle or the lower end of the ratings.  Bell had been pleased with the concept and wanted the rape story to play-out for a much larger audience.  By the 1975-1976 season, the show was near the top of the ratings and was extremely popular among high school & college kids.  He felt the time was right to re-tell the story.   When I was watching in 1976, I didn't find it especially "cruel" that lightning had struck twice in the Brooks family.  I felt it was more of a continuation of Chris's storyline, giving her a chance to continue dealing with the trauma of her own rape.  
    • Dan being de facto HW explains a lot. It's clear the show changed direction on a dime according to his interests or whims.
    • Really enjoyed today's episode the whole way through. Having Drew and Nina as red carpet hosts was a brilliant move. You could really see Cameron Mathison channeling his own experiences as a TV host for shows like Entertainment Tonight, but putting a more sinister spin on the host's glib patter. And Cynthia Watros gave some amazing reaction shots during Drew's interactions with people like Carly, Joss, and Willow.  I also really liked the Alexis/Kristina scenes. I know a lot of us find Kristina exasperating, and she is, but Kate Mansi and Nancy Lee Grahn do a great job of portraying a very real dysfunctional mother/daughter dynamic. 
    • The episode she got killed off in - which made Wendy a prime suspect in her murder (her car was spotted outside the house) and then Wendy mysteriously disappeared from town.

    • What Dan Curtis never seemed to understand -- and what Art Wallace knew from the get-go -- is that a slow, suspenseful build-up creates a far more satisfying episode than the constant "cliffhangers" that never amounted to much.  ("I'm going to kiillll you, Julia!" before every commercial break, lol.)
