I agree.  It's the context of when Hilary gives the side eye or the smirk.  I don't think anyone here is arguing for the sweet-as-sugar Hilary we saw after her coma.  

 

Again I say, she needs a buddy.  Preferably (for me) another woman in her age range.

 

 

Yup!  I thought it was a good show too.  I have nothing to add about Jabot/B&S, those were good scenes, and I completely buy Jack ripping up the lease.  It doesn't need any further explanation as far as I'm concerned.  I'm not sure why some feel it's a weak premise.

 

GT looked fabulous and

 on toning down the drag.  But you're right, there were more times than not when she came across very masculine.

 

@ryanc thanks for the previews :-). I'm not strong enough not to sneak a peek lol

 

 

The reason why him being her "go-to" needs time.  When Hilary was shunned after the Neil Killed My Momma fallout, I liked Jack stepping in and giving her a chance. His mentoring her had potential.  But Chuckie fucked it up.

It feels so good to be excited about this show again. It's all mostly working for me. Weirdly I thought it could never be fixed after the hatchet job Pratt put it through, but nope, it's pretty much fixed. And oh so damn entertaining. Today's show was rocking.

Yes, I've wanted a female friend for Hilary to confide in for a full 3 years now. Since she's Chelsea's Neighbor, I'll take her. 

 

Shelly and Jean fucked it up first by having Hilary kiss Jack randomly in 2014. Chuck was just using history. But, you're right, Jack doesn't need to be her confidante. Especially when she's using him to make Devon jealous. Which was a beat played in their scenes a few times.

 

One thing though, I do love the disdain/incredulity Bryton puts in his voice when Devon says Jack's name. Very subtle but extremely effective acting. If they're going to play that beat then they need to go all out. I hope Devon pays Jack back by interfering in his plans for Fenmore's.

Me too. I wanted to say how annoying she can be like most soap kids are but I know the little actress IS talented and has done some other things (Dolly Parton's two movies) but lawd, kids really do need to be seen and not heard on soaps. I think writers, or someone, thinks it's adorable to see the kids act and talk like adults but it's really not. I had the same issues with GH and their insane focus on the kids for that brief period of time. They had long scenes and episodes. It was way too much.

Once the younger set is revamped, I think it'll definitely be much closer to being completely fixed!

TBH I liked the other actress too. I loved her sass towards Avery in 2013 when she was leaving and Faith goes "GOODBYE Avery..."

This actress is definitely talented but I agree with the comments about her being a little annoying. She just always comes across as spoiled and bratty. Her problems feel so insignificant even thought her parents are clearly fcked up. It's just hard to buy into it. CG was so much better when she was a young actress. 

I'm ready for the show to SORAS Faith to a teen. They should recast Summer first though..

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • 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.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • 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.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse
