I thought I would tune in for Chloe's funeral since surely Jill would be back to support Esther and pay her respects. But no, Esther is all alone.

 How unrealistic.

 

Next Gloria waltz's in, making a huge entrance, to tell Esther she's only there for her grandaughter & son? Nice. I guess they were going for the slapstick moment? Only Sally would feature Gloria at Chloe's funeral. I felt like MAB was back, the whole mess reminded me of Victor's faux funeral & Sharon going off the rails.

Sharon with Scott does work with redemption because it's slow and not some heat of passion where they jump into bed together. It also has provided an opportunity for Sharon to share her history/future with someone who doesn't know her. It's boring but it's acceptable. 

 

The Cane downfall story is falling into place quite well. I hope they keep it a secret from Lily for awhile. Vicky finds out truth but doesn't disclose to anyone except Cane to protect company. Juliette/Hilary lurking/taunting Cane. There's no need to rush this. Lily gets hit with affair and that Cane engineered her career setback. 

 

Why put Esther on meds? That's weird. Esther is actually stronger than that. Obviously they won't bother with a S/L for her do what's point? 

 

The Worm. Why can't they just have Glo tell Esther that she'll help raise their granddaughter together?

 

Closed casket for a 'sleeping' death. Might as well had Chloe peering in watching her 'funeral' with Victor.

You mean you don't love Victoria's pod children? LOL. I see no reason she had to have three spawns or why Chelsea had to have a baby either.

 

I'd have no issues with a Juliet pregnancy, because sometimes they are needed. I don't like when characters are given kids because the writers don't know what else to do with them, or there's some desire to "tie" two characters together for plot reasons.

I didn't give the new regime a passing grade for May sweeps. I guess that leaves November sweeps as their third test and when it's three strikes, they should be out.

Well...what grade did you give them? Cuz they are sitting nicely with a B- for me.

 

So...can we assume that Dark Kevin is the next drama for Nick?Chelesa

ANd thank you, thank you ,thank you for Cane downfall taking its time.

 

Just do it as soon as Jill gets back.

I graded May Sweeps as D. I still don't love the Newmans hate Victor rehash, but the progress was made with the Abbotts since Dina returned. There's still a lot of garbage time that has to be worked on though.

I hate that Esther got so little screen time with Chloe's "death." Having her told off-screen was ridiculous, as was having everyone concerned like crazy about Kevin while not even mentioning Esther.

 

Kate Lindner deserved those scenes, even if Chloe was written as incessantly annoyed with her mother.

 

The writers are throwing in bits of history EVERYWHERE, so I don't get their botching the chance to highlight Esther.

    • 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 she recently started taking acting classes again, and has 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.)
    • Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline 
    • Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.
    • I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat. 
    • Like a lot of soaps, once relatives left, they kinda dropped off the face of the earth and out of conversations. I don't know why writers do that. If they just don't want to confuse viewers, or don't think it matters, or want the liberty kind of revise history to make their stories work. After Josh left in '84, he's barely mentioned. Even when Billy's railing against Kyle and refusing to accept him, it'd be the most natural thing in the world to say "Kyle's NOT by brother, JOSH is!" and I don't think he ever really says that.  The only writer I can recall who didn't do that is Doug Marland on ATWT. 
    • IIRC, there is a line during this time period where Reva says something like Marah is her first-born child, which fans were not thrilled with.  Dylan makes a few appearances through the rest of the show (and a much later recast that isn't really worth talking about, with a face that is familiar to you). He will make one briefly during 1997, if you get that far.
