This looks absolutely adorable. Just based on the cast, there's no chance I'm missing it. Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin look fantastic. And YES to fabulous, over-60 actors getting to do something like this. I really hope it's good and, as promised, honest.

Watched the first eppy, and this was so wonderful! Tomlin is certainly going to be the MVP of this show, but Jane Fonda just looks [!@#$%^&*] fantastic! She, Helen Mirren and Nichelle Nichols are my Chicks Over 100 yrs old girl crushes. They are just defying everything. Jane certainly had some face work done, but she doesn't look like she belongs in a wax museum. Her body is insane!

Finished the first season a couple of weeks ago and what a great show this is. It's unfortunate that I think a show like this couldn't get produced for network, or even cable, television. What Netflix has put out has been of such good quality that it's hard to argue that cable has the niche anymore.

Lily Tomlin and Sam Waterston, stole the show and I hope they're rewarded with Emmy nominations.

Just watched the first season over the course of a couple of days and what a great, sweet, fun, funny show this was. Truly spectacular. I really liked the eventual development of Grace and Frankie's friendship, loved all the stuff with Coyote, Bud and Brianna and their individual relationships (I hope they continue the arc of Coyote looking for his birth mother), and was often annoyed by Robert, but believe Robert and Sol's feelings for one another. And we even got a great cliffhanger, too! Season 2 cannot come soon enough. I'm anxious to see what happens with Robert/Sol of course, but also this Phil thing. Fonda gave a GREAT performance in the scene where she remembers him.

 

 

I am so glad Tomlin was nominated for "The Vows." She gave a beautiful, heart-wrenching performance.

      I was incredibly moved by these scenes, especially Peter's performance. It felt so tender and real, especially when you remember Bo just got out of a years-long coma and wasn't going to be able to put up a front. You're reminded of how long these legends have populated the show when you have a 70 year old man grieving men who were almost 90 or 100, but Bo's response to Victor's death was a poignant reminder of how fresh these wounds are no matter your age. Normally these types of moments don't even make it in soap episodes in recent decades as they are seen as too boring. There's a certain element of suffocation with soaps, as shown here, when you remember so many of the kids are named after long dead relatives, or when they grew up, were paired with the kids of other longtime characters. That aspect always makes me yearn for new blood (new blood that doesn't suck, anyway), but there are other moments, like those with Bo, which make me appreciate all the history the show has.

      A funny scene, Roger and Sonni go out to eat, at that place that had a colonial theme (I love when soaps have very specific places to eat..I hated the diners on GL, ATWT and AW) and this is just after Rog came back and Sonni hit the headlines and the waitress scremes.."Oh, Roger Thorpe, and YOUR...please dont' hurt me..." and they are all like, "Hey, were just hungry!" (most soaps now have someone go on a murder spree and the rest of the cast and extras look like they havent heard about it."

      Someone has been posted episodes from 1994 and Jill Powell (Marcy Lafferty) has a hot storyline right now. Just googled her and in real-life she is now openly out as a Lesbian with a transgender son.

      Did anyone else notice that DAYS has not been in the Top 10 most streamed shows on Peacock this week??? I find that very strange considering how good the show has been, especially this week.

      German soaps: GZSZ, UU & AWZ

      By Huntress · Posted

      Cast changes in 2025 (so far, not much has happened): GZSZ Pauline Afaja (Flo Kästner) departed on March 10th, 2025. She had only been on the show for about a year. Flo as a character never really clicked with the audience. Her final storyline involved her catching feelings for the much older Nina Reichelt Klee Ahrens Navarro out of the blue – while she was in a relationship with the wheelchair-bound Jonas Seefeld. Onno Buß joined the cast as Julian Kaltenbach on January 31st, 2025. Julian is Matilda's twin brother ... and another illegitimate child of Jo Gerner. Charlott Reschke, who had played Johanna Flemming on a recurring basis from 2015 to 2024, returned at the end of May. The 20-year old actress has now been placed on contract. Last week on GZSZ:
