I really enjoyed the "special" season premiere/holiday special episodes - too bad it's not back for another 11 weeks!

 

It'll be... interesting to see how they handle the Rita storyline. By all accounts they seemingly know that the premise is a bit ridiculous so they're not spending a lot of time trying to explain it.

LOL that would have been hilariously camp!

I enjoyed the Season 5 2 hour premiere especially the beginning where news report misreported Fallon died and used a really bad photo of her.

Definitely Team Amanda here. Even though Adam had grown on me, framing Alexis for murder is a bit much. 
 

Since this show is introducing Rita, now would be a good time for the show to introduce Dex Dexter for Alexis.

In the new Dynasty Alexis does not run an oil company, or any business, that would cause her to interact with a self-made cowpoke like Dex, so there would have to be some finagling (maybe he could be her attorney?)  Also, Amanda is lesbian (or at least had an affair with a woman) so there's less chance of an Alexis/Dex/Amanda triangle.

My favorite of the OG series was Caress, I hope she somehow appears in Atlanta.

I hadn't watched it for weeks, so I forgot how much I really enjoy the show.  It looks amazing, the fashions have always been on point, but the food in this episode looked incredible, and now that they have extras back on set, the manor is finally filled with staff.  People who watch DAYS and complain about the low production values would love seeing what the CW can do with a couple more bucks.

I still feel like the low point is the need to tie up most of the stories each week.  Sammy Jo's ups and downs with Culhane feel very predictable.  And there's a repetitive nature to having two characters having an argument in the penultimate act and then resolve it toward the end (like this week with Jeff and Dom).

On the other hand, Daniella is knocking it out of the park with the doppelgänger story.  It is such an old soap troupe (including there being no details on how they use the bathroom).  However, Daniella has always had an ability to play multiple layers.  She seems kind and funny one minute, but can easily turn to cunning warrior.  So, she's the prefect choice for this story, and her southern accent was convincing. 

Can someone catch me up as to what happened with Alexis's murder trial and Adam's youth cure?

There was a drone filming around the apartment - Amanda tracked down who it belonged to and surprise, surprise, it belonged to Farnsworth "Dex" Dexter's nephew who had happened to film Adam arguing with Dr Larson on the balcony that night, putting him right at the top of the suspect list. Amanda delivered the footage to Alexis who told Adam that she wouldn't show it to the police if he signed over the company to her. He unwillingly signed the company over to Alexis, but claimed that Dr Larson fell off the balcony by accident. Alexis later revealed that the drone had actually filmed Dr Larson lunging at Adam and falling off the balcony by accident and of course when she showed it to the prosecutor, they had to set her free. Grateful to Dex for providing her with the footage that set her free, she agreed to go out on a date with him as he'd always had a crush on her since meeting her as a college student when his father sat on the Carrington boards. Alexis and Dex went Dubai in the previous episode, hence why they weren't in this one.

What do they even have left airing at this point? The Flash and the Superman show?

Oh, I forgot Riverdale and that Walker reboot. And some Supernatural spinoff?

      John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.

      Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

      The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

      Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.

      I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.

      As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.

      I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.

      So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
