yes if there's one thing Brad does well is take advantage of actor's outside stuff - that's how we got Dubai because KKL was running out there. KM's voice was beautiful. The dialogue for the bookend scenes were beyond juvenile with all the sophomoric baseball references. They could have done a much better job with that.

Bradley should have held himself back from writing those Maya scenes in. Very few people know KM sang the Anthem in June, so this came across as stupid and cringeworthy. The whole thing sucked and was a waste of money.

I am also Team Quinn at this point. The repetition is so aggravating I want Steffy to die. Tying her marriage to Quinn leaving Eric is pathetic beyond words.

Wyatt has become a whiny, begging, embarrassing fool, and plays most of his scenes like he's a bottom who needs a good top in his life. Liam is already making eyes at Ivy because she smiled at him once.

God, this show.

It's sad that Raya was such a fun devious couple with Ridge/Caroline as sparring patterns and not only did we lose an assertive minority character for a two-minute buzz worthy moment, but also we lost Rick  in order to be PC. Even in this Brooke marrying for the shares story, it's illogical that she would sell them to Ridge instead of give them to Rick. The result would be the same for Quinn but Rick's future would be more secure. Instead we now have Rick kinda sorta siding with Ridge!

Ridge acts like its some great big sacrifice for Brooke to marry Bill as if she hasnt been salivating over that d-ck for the past 2 years. Speaking of which, I forgot to wish her congratulations. She finally got laid after her 2 year dry spell

I've never been a fan of JMcC. In fact, I still think it's sexist and a major diss to KKL that he got the shows opening credit lead after SF. However, he has really been into this and I credit the amazing RS. There isn't a single actor who hasn't been better than usual when they share scenes with her. 

I do find it hilarious that all those Forresters are judging Eric so harshly after all the horrible choices they've made. 

I realized yesterday that this would be a good time to bring back HT - she would have so much to add to Steffy/Wynot, Widge/Brooke/$B, Queric, Thomas/Douglas, etc. 

RJ already has demonstrated how awful and narcissistic his parents are. Good grief Brooke don't even tell your son that you're marrying $B.

Gosh I'm impressed with the RJ casting for two reasons: 1) he was given substantive material and did a great job with it; and 2) Zende/Thomas casting. 

I only want a delay for Brill if only to see JMW go Batsh!t on Bridge and to have Quinn have a front row seat watching. Haha

How the hell does Bill not know what RJ looks like? The boarding school excuse doesnt fly with me bc Bill has been a part of the Logan family since 2009. He's been around RJ. Does Brooke not have any pictures of her son around the house?

 

Ivy interacts with Quinn for the first time since she found out what she did to Liam and she's like like whatever, completely unphased and cool with Quinn

 

LOL at Steffy's thirst to pimp Brooke out

    • What an hour of soap opera television. -- It doesn't get much better than this. Every actor delivered in every storyline. There's so much blame to be placed on so many characters for their mistakes, yet it's impossible not to sympathize with them. -- When Tracy looked at Gio after hearing the news about Dante and Brook Lynn, iT was just another example of the excellence of Jane Eliott. All it took was one look to make an already good Giovanni Mazza even better. -- My heart broke for Gio, but you have to feel heartbreak for Brook Lynn and Dante, too, unless you have ice in your veins. -- Cody's understanding and sympathy for everyone was real and sincere. Lulu was into her "Well, maybe in the long run this will all be better," but Cody understood that part of Lulu's reaction was a defense. She made mistakes, but she never wanted to hurt anyone. -- Neither did Lois, who's going to get it from all sides and take the brunt of the blame. I don't think she'll get any relief from Ned. Rena Sofer has been great at expressing her pain. -- Rory Gibson is off to a good start as Michael, and is expressing more emotion than he did in his entire run at Y&R. -- I didn't mind the Trina and Kai "first time" scenes. Those scenes were well-acted and nicely directed, and some goodness was needed in a show with so much heaviness. GH is on a really good run, and every day has been must-see TV.
    • There's something about the attachment you feel when you hear the theme music. I know some people love the Leaves opening (which is called something like Ritonelle...it's mainly strings) that ran during the Dobson era. The disco opening just feels foreign to me--like they tried to replicate nighttime drama openings (to my mind, Hawaii 5-0) and didn't understand that Mike holding a gun on someone or Nola screaming wasn't representative of what the show was about. The first ATWT character one has a white background that's harsh looking. They changed the backing colors a couple of times, but they used that damn shot of Carly for like three years. Later, like '05-06 maybe, there was a silly one that made it look like the characters were emerging from fields of something, that made my eyes roll right out of my head. It never got as bad as GL's "hands" opening, which is better forgotten. The BTG one convinces me there are different people in the roles, but I still have to think---"who is that now?"
    • 30 minutes in and...is there any Tracy that I dislike? lol. Cuz I love Traci on Y&R, Tracy on GH, and now Tracy on this show. She is reading the heck out of Anita so far. And sorry...Anita is not keeping up (though I am loving TT's performance). This is what I was expecting from Silk Press Sheila, but nope. But this comes of someone that truly knows someone. Loving it.   But I liking all the conversations so far today. Smitty and Martin especially. A gay couple having it out. And knowing that due to the development in Month 2 and the actors getting comfortable with their roles, I feel invested.    Not Kat pulling a Blair again on Chelesa. lol.     Same. I can avoid major spoilers for a day.

    • Yes.  I won't be able to articulate this correctly, but Tracy's delivery to Gio was almost clunky and perfect.  Gio didn't really understand how important her parents and their legacy is to her.  It was so Tracy.   Also, if I knew I was related to Lila I would immediately just sit in her rose garden and make vases and vases of beautiful roses lol
    • @j swift, that's Audrey Ames, played by Fia Porter. She was one of the actresses on Fraternity Row. https://www.oocities.org/historypg/oltl1989.html ETA: "Dorian's Fountain" would make an excellent pseudonym.
    • I got a new Robo-mop/vac today and I named it Dustin' Kiriakis.  And, it is connected through my home network, ISA Headquarters. The episode felt like treading water. Not much happened.  But, it confirmed @carolineg's time/space theory, that sometimes when characters aren't on screen time stops for them, and we go back in time to catch up with them.  Other times, they have been living the boring parts of their lives, and we catch them as they are at the moment. For example, Johnny, Tate, and Ari are all stuck back in the morning after John's accident.  But, Marlena, and John's kids are already in the afternoon of the same day. Also, I'm not janea4old, or Jason47, in that I can't tell when this episode was filmed.  But, I know airplanes were grounded in Italy on July 5, 2024, due to ashes from Mount Etna.  Ron retired immediately, starting 7/19/24.  So, it lines up with the new writers.   
    • Yes she does but I get Lois and her reasons. I see everyone's side
    • I think you meant siblings, as they aren't twins.  It was established in episode #2 that Tyrell is 17 and Samantha is 16.

      I was watching the 28:44 edit of All the Tour Llandview Openings from 1984-1991 (which I assume is most of the Rauch era). Any way, I could name 95% of the characters (or I knew what story they were a part of).  But, who's this? I attached the link, but be warned, that theme song is an earworm (here's where ya go when it looks like the rain won't).

    • I welled up, definitely. She got me with that one; it's only a shame these writers cannot bring this on a more consistent basis.
