LOL everyone wants to have a reaction and I don't know what people want from a first episode? I don't know why anyone cares what they say on Twitter or Facebook.

 

And what "media"? Bitchy Jamey at DC or that annoying guy from SID? Let's put stock into their thoughts ...

Hillary deserved that shove and much more. But...she's being written so evilly that you root for her to be destroyed. even with JR on Dallas there were times when his humanity, compassion and caring came out. it made him a much more interesting character. Hillary? she has done very few things but I always get the feeling that she has an ulterior motive for everything.

They'd be easier to ignore if I thought the show ignored them too. 

 

But I've come to realize  that, for whatever reason, Angelica McDaniels takes her cues from Jamey Giddens regarding  

black characters. He was on twitter saying how he'd write Hilary like Diana Ross from Mohagony and Devon as Billy Dee Williams.  Not long after, we got social climbing Hilary whose willing to throw away all, Devon and his billions, to be somebody...with Jack, who has less money? Huh? Then he complained about  the Jack thing saying Hilary should be with Devon. So they abruptly paired her back with Devon after she had left him FOR NOTHING. And now Hilary's willing to do anything to realize her dream of high ratings as gossip queen. What?

Yes, this was from his last episode! (Yay!)

 

She (and Abby) need to be radically changed!

 

If you're going to say this, at least link to the "soap media" and what they have said. Cos I can't find anything.

 

If they did, indeed, so what? After one episode? You'd have to be insane to draw conclusions like that.

    • This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.
    • YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.  
    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.

    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
    • I've already stated that I don't like Doug being written as this meek and submissive. It was so lame watching him leave her like that. Vanessa can divorce him, but she then needs to get her thot ass into therapy. She's not only having sex with every guy she runs into, but is now having  sex with a skeevy perv on a poker table. I'm going to give the BTG some credit here. For months, many on this board were delighting in the Vanessa/Joey flirting and what they saw as chemistry. I think we're now seeing what the writers always intended -- that Joey is a disgusting POS wannabe mobster.
