to the last part

 

And agreed on the first part. The younger ones just can't really keep up. I can imagine daytime being VERY overwhelming to a newbie. It's just not the same as it used to be when soaps had a real budget.

Even now 14 years later it still suprises me to see people say Dena's material in 2003 was the worst. Yeah it was boring, but it was not close to being as destructive or insulting like some other time periods. Maybe because she was only head writing for five months and didn't have time to go there, but still.

Agreed. It left a lot to be desired but was nothing like this last stint and even the one before that. I really do think she came back to the show and wrote it as one big FU to the fans who got her fired the last time. JMO. I know some don't agree with that.

Agreed. I don't really see the need to have her wrangle all these dopplegangers to do her bidding. And Bonnie was never supposed to look like Adrienne, she was her own character, like Josh Taylor as Roman. It's lead to some fun comedy and Judi Evans and Dee Hall are clearly having a ball but meh ... at least he's getting his doppleganger fix out of the way now I guess. Fairchild is only around until Aug or Sept so it's not like it will be super long I guess.

Wow, Bonnie and Hattie.....doppelgängers all around! I wanted Ron to bring back crazy-DAYS and he sure isn't wasting anytime. I like it. 😄 Also like that the show has funny elements again ("bisexual disorder," Hattie not knowing what door to go out).

    • 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. They just used her to drive plot. Her treatment is not atypical, as most characters on this show 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 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.
