Well, count me in as someone who thinks Phyllis' writing is better suited for Summer. Not a grandmother in her second descent into cheating on the same guy. It's not like phyllis hasn't been in love several times left. She's left jack to pursue a life with Nick that didn't end so well for her and wasn't easy. I do feel it's kinda silky to tell this sane story again. None of this is new to her. 

 

But then I tend to think almost every story told on the show is one generation off. Nick should be getting Victor's stories and Noah should be getting nick's stories, so to speak.  But the show just seems stuck.

This backflip to StePhyllis as a girl who can't be with the man she wants because of his big, bad mama is wearing on me. Would the 'real' Phyllis be all poor me, victim to Jill? Heck no! Phyllis would be scheming to find ways to take down Jill! GT deserves better than this. And when the writers have brought out Phyllis 'real' persona, she has more than delivered. 

Otherwise, I believe this week has been quite good - even with plot holes aka those letters from Neil's mother kept handy in the desk drawer - but even there MM more than delivered the emotional punch I her scenes.

Yep. Dreams and desires are fine, but it's all in the execution and the character's history. If she's coming across as a 17yo lovesick girl, then it's a problem.

 

 

 

The show will never get unstuck until a competent writer can come on board and create a viable younger generation. 

 

The vets are "forced" to carry so many stories (despite what's appropriate or not) because there are not many others who can hold the audience's interest.

 

 

LMAO. I love you.

 

 

 

 

 

OOC & the heroine?

 

Baaaaaarf.

When I heard that MG was coming back, I only wanted to see one thing - Daniel & Mariah coming face-to-face. It's hard to believe that Cassie died over 11 years and I've been curious to see he MG/CG would interact. It's too bad that MG isn't going to be a regular because I'd love to see a Mariah/Daniel pairing.

ditto about Graz and Camryn Grimes that would have been interesting. 

 

Sully's paternity issues matter less if Adam is the Dad and not available. All it would do is pull apart Sharon and Dylan, right now unless they used it as a way to write someone else off the show.

There is another route if they decide to go forward with the Chrully reveal, which  I'm assuming they are because of SC's interview last month, Nick/Chelsea. If the reveals happens while JH is off canvas for his show, Sharon doesn't know Adam is father, but Chelsea does.... Honestly, I'd rather they leave this for a few more months.

    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
