Exactly she was close with the twins, and if my memory serves me correct didn't she have a storyline where so got too attached to them. And another thing how don't they know each if BOTH of their moms works at the same damn place. Ugh, i love this show to death but some [!@#$%^&*] with the writing your just can't ignore

Agree. I think in his overzealous to stick it to Billy that he didn't realize how it would affect B&S. And that rivalry between them has always been under the surface so like it being used.

 

Sorry, he hates the turn, but he plays an interesting bad guy IMHO.

Bless you all for pointing the HUGE lapse by the writing team. I really did a double-take. There is absolutely NO WAY that Reed/Charlie/Maddie don't know who's who. Reed might get a slight pass, but Charlie/Maddie? Not even to ask the question when the name 'Reed' came up - because there are so many Reeds in GC. Even with the Mac/Billy/Jill connection? 

 

Another example of making something 10x harder. Like the convo between Reed and Charlie or Maddie would've changed in any substantive way - except been better.

 

Maddie to Reed: 'Your mother works my dad so hard, I never see him.' 

 

Reed to Victoria: 'I can't believe your lead model's son is such a blockhead.'

 

Charlie to Reed: 'As a Newman, you must be pretty dumb if you couldn't get into WG.' 

 

If we're going to pretend Lily got preggers at 12 and birthed them at 13, pretend they interacted/grew up together before Reed moved.

I liked Reed/Mattie's interaction.  I'm glad they're not going the "they hate each other at first" or "the cool guy making fun of the nerdy girl" route.  

 

 

But like with Ravi, they'll probably have Mattie lose her glasses to make her "good looking."  I just don't like that mentality - and too possibly do it twice in a short period of time.....come on.  I wish soaps had characters that wear glasses. I hope Mattie continues to wear them.

    • lol he sounds like he's speaking as Randy    
    • Dani going to Bill's house is karma for how he messes with Martin. It is totally separate, but I can't feel sorry for Bill when he's constantly antagonizing a family he says he wants nothing to do with.
    • I understand what Lois did. I can see everyone's side, even if I don't agree with them.  That  proves it's a good story    Lois is far from ruined
    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
    • The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. She had a bit of moral fiber. Her treatment on the show is not atypical though, as most characters will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.
    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week -- that before taping this, she had recently started taking acting classes again, and had been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
