Absolutely, I respect your opinion and I am happy you guys enjoy them -- I apologize if I seemed to imply otherwise. Maybe I will change my mind. After all, I have seen them only once or twice since I've tuned back in.

No it's all good, I respect yours as well. It's cool if you don't care for them. I don't think they're super great or anything but I'd rather watch them than their lame parents LOL and I could take or leave the teens. I think Mattie has potential (she seems whiney when with her parents but I like the potential). Not sure what they're trying to accomplish with Charlie besides stereotypical hothead. Reed got on my ever loving nerves but now that he's only on a few times a month and around Mattie he seems much more tolerable. I agree they're all very green but I see some potential. Time will tell I guess LOL

Yeah, I think the show has seen worse teen scenes, that's for sure.

 

One thing that I wish they would do with Charlie and Mattie is giving them some quality scenes with their parents. You can't expect to over-SORAS two kids and have the actors who play their parents immediately click with them. When I see Lane & the kids in a scene together, I honestly see 4 people who barely know each other and do their best to pretend they don't lol. Now add the fact that they barely include them in the same shot (given CK's young looks and all), and it's a recipe for disaster. 

 

Oh and please give Goddard the memo:

- an actor should not whisper through an entire show

- an actor should not use his hands that much, that way!

Agree about the teens. Reed is better developed and defined but I think that's primarily cause he's been on longer and came in with no other teens to interact with so his story was with adults, which helped his depth. 

 

Mattie and Reed are better written but Charlie is just there to play obstacle/angst/bully. 

 

Thinking about what can be done for that Tessa/Devon/Mariah/Noah group. It just dawned on me that Devon has been hanging with those characters a full 3 months and he STILL has not reestablished his friendship with Noah. So I will say a start would be to allow each character to develop their own dynmic with each other. That allows for more beats to play when fall out occurs and richer story. I think that the Dina story works so well precisely cause this occurs. That orbit has so many interesting relationships that it's fun to watch them play off each other. I don't mind Gloria because she is not centered nor is she in every scene Jack has nor is she around speaking for him...unlike Mariah. 

 

Unrelated but...where is Lauren? Shouldn't she be around those Jabot offices and story over there. Not necessarily Dina but other things.

I don't think they play Mariah as Cassie. If they did, she'd have relationships with the Newmans and she doesn't. I think the lack of those ties might be why they have such an issue finding a place for her to fit. She's written as Sharon's daughter only.

@cassadine1991 Once Julie Chen 'told' Hilary to treat Mariah better, it's clear that was a shift from the ridiculous Mariah/Hilary nonsense- they've had very few scenes together. There was no reason why Hilary should be jealous of Mariah and the rivalry didn't work. Both actors were very uncomfortable with the negative scenes. Unlike Hilary/Lily - MM/CK are totally alive when they are sniping. 

 

But in reality doesn't every character, except Jack, try to make Hilary seem 'bad'? Everyone is judging her and criticizing her. Somehow her being ruthless in work makes her unworthy of love. MM is a star and they need to be comfortable with making her strong, unapologetic and business savvy.

That's true, but we're talking about the way her character/personality was morphed & adjusted to the point it almost seems like we're watching an adult Cassie. The more fun, sarcastic, fυck-this kind of Mariah is not really there much. She was her own person (which is why I accepted the usually loathed previously-unknown twin scenario), and back then, if you'd put her with the Newmans, you'd never mistake her for Cassie.

Big agree! It's sad. At least I cared about Cassie.

 

I'm also a bit biased about CG. I used to love her, then I saw a live chat she did with SC. She came across so full of herself, and she kept interrupting SC while never apologizing. lol I know I shouldn't judge but I couldn't help it.

 

 

OMG Saint Devon is first on that list! I wish Hillary would cut him loose.


No one would blink if a male host were as 'ruthless' as Hillary. I know for a fact nobody has called out Jack and Victor for being ruthless businessmen per se.

    • They've been on same day for three episodes, which is a good thing because the days flowed weird to me before. 
    • I see both Lois and BLQs sides re Gio BLQ wanted her son to be happy. Lois wanted to make sure it happened, so she gave him to family. Selfish?  Yes, but I get it Gio was raised by a loving mother and extended family. Lois followed BLQ wishes Great acting by AS & RS

      date: Tuesday, May 27 | Christopher Dunn, Lynn Martin | Steven Williford I feel bad for Chelsea; she's exploring her feelings, and they're getting [unintentionally] hurt. But I love the support that Katherine has for her cousin. Bradley, you deserve one hundred times better than Deadbeat. So much more. Anita essentially tossing Tracy out... whew. She's done. DONE. Ouch... Chelsea hit the nerve with Katherine. How interesting... I feel like Tracy is becoming the mirror Anita has been avoiding while being a Dupree. What are these top secret things she's harbouring? I really hope Jessica's interest in Tyrell is genuine, because if it isn't, it might just destroy him. Back alley meetings? Your family? As if Bradley is not part of your family... Deadbeat, sit your ass down. Hey, Childbride, lower your damn voice. You're in the country club, not the country field where your ass belongs. And oh God, she's knocked up. Whew... here we go! Dante Greene, what control did this man have? But I appreciate that Anita and Tracy are uniting together; I pray that Sharon joins them soon. I love how easy Katherine and Tomas are with each other; it's smooth, it's natural and it's blooming in all the right ways. Hayley is about to battle the Dupree women for all she's worth. I am calling it right now. The unwavering support Vernon continues to provide to Anita is paramount; I adore them as the couple they are. Notes: Mike Manning (Bradley) continues to show up time and time again in scenes with Brandon Claybon (Deadbeat), who brings nothing to the table. There is an extreme lack of romantic chemistry between them. I'm wondering how different Dante Greene is going to be in comparison to Berry Gordy Jnr; we know the true history of Diana Ross and the Supremes, but how different will it be with Anita Williams and the Articulettes?
    • This episode is beyond excellent Could have waited on tge Trina Kai scenes  but regardless  great soap
    • Haha same! I didn't like her in the beginning, but over time, I've really grown to love to hate her as a villain.  I can't wait to listen to today's new episode later tonight! I've been waiting for the mom and dad (Crystal/Vincent) to have an interaction, so I'm happy to hear it's today.
    • I've always really been enjoying the show. It's very well produced and has so many soap stars in it. I was just listening to ep 7 on YoutTube and can say I'm hooked. There was an intense scene with Crystal Chappell and Vincent Irizarry about halfway through that was GOOD! Is it bad I kind of like Mina? I know she's supposed to be the main villian 
    • This isn't a bad episode, but I'm finding myself not as engaged. Must be the lack of Eva and Leslie. No Nicole, Dani. 
    • Yes!! I didn't realize it before, and had a busy weekend, so wasn't here much

      Wow, what happened to AMC this week? Crashing from 8.4 to 6.6.. I mean, I know they used to go up and down much more than they do today, but this seems like a harsh drop (from 7th to 13th). And nice to see Y&R's first weeks  
    • Why did they cut Chelsea coming out to her grandparents? We should have seen that
