MADE IT UP TO LAST THURSDAY...

 

I think the build to the concert has been nice. And seeing everyone dressed up has been nice. Ladies are looking great...faves being Sharon, Abby, Ashley, and Mariah. And wow at Noah...when did you get so hot...or more important...those dressed pants sure do show off a nice...uh..back.

 

I see Victoria vs Abby is being featured which I liked and loved Abby telling Vicky off so far.

 

was that jealousy I saw with Mariah?

 

Over Kevin/Chloe.

 

Miffed that Jill has already left...but happy she does not know EVERYTHING about Cane yet. Gives me hope.  That said...I'm sorry Team Billy on that. After Cane had been throwing shade at Billy for months, I love Billy doing the same for me. Victoria can get over it.

Soaps have had issues with age and ages and aging FOREVER. I understand mentioning this the first week the older twins appeared. But now? It's time to move on.

 

I agree with just about everything you've said here.

 

And I don't get why Nick gets so much flack for his screw you attitude towards Victor. We've all complained INCESSANTLY about Victor -- but Nick is the punk???

 

Why couldn't Victor -- and Nikki -- realized that Nick did what he did out of love and concern for his mother?

I think Nick lacks direction, but his problems with Victor are true to form. That was always the basis for adult Victoria and Nick, that they shared traits with their namesake and were close with them as well. I don't need Victor and Nick liking each other. Tolerating yes, but they should never be close.

I don't mind Nick's attitude towards Victor. I agree they should tolerate each other but they don't need to be close. The problem is Morrow isn't very good (sorry his attractive body doesn't make up for his acting despite what some want to say) so it falls flat. And it's tired, Victor twirls his moustache, the family berates him and excludes him, they end up coming around, wash, rinse, repeat.

 

Am I the only one who doesn't give a crap about Victoria vs. Abby? Victoria should be above this and it makes Abby look ridiculously insecure.

 

And no, Christel does not look believable next to her teenagers. Not at all. It's ridiculous. I agree Mattie should have been Ana and Charlie should have been Moses. Lily and Cane didn't need their kids aged. All of them are lackluster actors, too.

Agree about Moses and Anna for the teen scene with Reed. But Moses and Anna doesn't have the same implications for Lily and Cane. Plus, I don't think they want to feature Neil. Moses would mean having him more prominent. What they should have done was bring back Anna and Yolanda and played those two plus Neil and Moses as a blended family.  But again, they don't seem to want to play Neil  Also, I get the feeling that these kids were soras'd to send them packing off to boarding school or college.

+1.

 

It doesn't help their scenes amount to Abby screaming at Victoria while Victoria stands around looking bored.

 

If half of a 'feuding' couple has no investment in their rivalry it makes their interactions a complete waste of time.

Based on what I remember of his backstory, TPTB would have to retcon it in order for Marsino to have a daughter Tessa's age.

I'm not a fan of retcons because 99% of what the soaps usually come up with is terrible but hey, that never stops them from doing it, so you never know!

Yep, thank you. That's exactly what it is. Abby pitches a ridiculous fit because of her own paranoia and Victoria stands there looking bored as Abby rails. Zzzzz

 

I know they aged them to react to the Cane/Lily drama but the child actress playing Mattie would have sufficed IMHO. And good point on them not wanting to feature Neil. That seems to be true, they have little interest in him. I like your idea of the blended family and would enjoy watching that. I haven't minded the implosion of Cane/Lily because Cane's finally a bit interesting but DG's whisper acting is getting tiresome and he's been terrible conveying remorse. I'd rather watch Juliet doing nothing but sitting there than watch Cane whisper and quiver and Lily cry and bitch.

DG has been the worst actor I've ever seen on a soap.

 

He spends 80% of his scenes covering his face with his hands. WTF? That's like the number 1 rule in acting. People are here to see you. Don't hide your damn face behind your hands. It's cringe-worthy...

    • Hey boys, I know these aren’t really thirst traps but I think they belong here. Don’t ya agree?

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
