Whose bright idea was it that thought Hope and Rafe would sizzle?  No and hope were good together, but I liked her with aidan...skoe build and with chemistry....of course, Dena messed up a potentially good triangle by turning Alden bad...instead of having the audience torn.

I'm glad that Chad and Gabi already seem doomed. I don't even care if they put him back with Abby or not. That's not what it's about for me. I just can't stand Gabi or Chad/Gabi. I know his stuff isn't airing yet but I hope this is some kind of early influence from Ron or something. At this point I'll settle for the show not being Days of Gabi's Life.

It annoys me that Holly looks like she's two months old.  I get why, babies are easier to handle at that age, but that along with the crying sound track while the baby looks happy as a lamb is sloppy. Do they think we don't notice this stuff or that we just don't care?  Either dump the fake crying or use a doll and don't show her face.

 

I could have liked Dario/Abby, but it's been obvious from the start that they are just a Chabby obstacle.  Abby looks like she'd been handed a death sentence when she agreed to marry him.

 

I'm glad the show kept Paul around.  I hope he fights dirty to keep his man.

Just over a week away from RC's first episode. 

 

I expect renewed focus on Marlena, Jennifer, Hope... hopefully with decent stories, at least at first.

 

When things have gotten so bad, you're looking forward to Carlivati... Maybe this show will finally be a fit.

The Impromptu girls night out with Kate, Valerie, Marlena and Kayla at club TBD was surprisingly good. I wonder if Ron added the girls night out. This doesn't seem Dena's style. The who killed Deimos  Kiriakis murder mystery is just a boring mess. It's always great to see Anne. I hope Ron uses her. I don't know what to expect from him. His OLTL was a mixed bag. Most of his GH was terrible and embarrassing.

Yeah, I hope Ron C. redirects Sonny's character back into Freddie's comfort zone as an actor, because the last few months of performances have been embarrassingly bad. It's obvious now that Freddie has very limited range and if they're going to keep him around -- which they must in order to effect a certain reunion -- they have to reconsider Sonny's arc.

I know people cringe when someone talks about someone's appearance but I think once we see Freddie with the better haircut and less weight we'll see a difference in his performance. Extra pounds makes you more lethargic and it shows on-screen. This Deimos story also did the character zero favors. I also think he's been phoning it in since his return. Not that he's some amazing thespian but he's better than what he's given lately. Some lesser actors just can't overcome shitty writing.

Amen! I loved me some Jordi on GL. And he could be salvaged here on DAYS if they didn't write him as wishy-washy semi-villain. Give him some sort of epiphany and have him ditch the seedy business activities and he'll be a heroic heartthrob in no time.

I haven't seen it yet but the stuff leading up to it has been horrible. Freddie is not that type of actor and never will be. Him being a suspect is just ridiculous as well. No one is buying it.

Just in time for you know who.

    • Well, no new episode tomorrow, but you should do a catch up. It's worth it!
    • *Gavrilo Princip has entered the chat* I haven't watched BTG in approximately two months because of the busy season at work, but now it's summer, and I'll have time to get back into it. Do y'all think that I should do the 21st century binge-watching thing and attempt to catch up on everything I missed or should I do the traditional soap thing and just start watching again tomorrow and figure everything out from there?
    • A few days late but this made me holler so bad and immediately took.me back 29 years when I first saw this. I still remember thinking Rick and Phillip were going hold each other and dance together LOL. Rick being there at least makes some sense as he was A-M’s second cousin and the show still at least recognized he was half Bauer, at least until Hearst left.  The whole Universal Studios wedding was over the top. I think someone wanted A-M and Lucy to be the next GL super couple but once Hearst left the A-M recast flopped and both were gone by early ‘97 with Lucy never appearing ever again.    Love the rest of your post, summer 1996 was the first time GL left me feeing…greatly underwhelmed until it inspired righteous indignation on my behalf once we get to the Gilly twist.
    • You're right. I think she was seen as too subtle or reserved.  As @soapfan770I liked Sheila on LA Law but she wasn't needed here, especially as Charley as a character only made sense with a more reserved and less conventionally attractive actress.
    • That's certainly one way to put it!  What blather. Kind of tells you they knew it was going to fail. I guess they were just throwing anything at the schedule and hoping they would be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the article.
    • I would guess it's down to Kate Oates. Bowden is very much her type of leading man. She repeated all the stories she did on Emmerdale with his Ben.  I also think EE has become conservative enough that only a white, straight-acting gay man is going to get story.
    • Desert Sun, 13 April 1985 ABC’s 'Dark Mansions’ Loretta Young quits movie LOS ANGELES (AP) - Loretta Young, citing “creative differences,” has withdrawn from her role as the family matriarch in “Dark Mansions,” an ABC movie and projected series, a spokesman for the actress said. The Academy Award-winning actress had been due to come out of retirement to begin work on the two-hour movie on April 22. The movie goes into production on Monday. “Loretta Young will not be rendering services because of creative differences over the story,” her agent, Norman Brokaw of the William Morris Agency said in a statement. “The parting between Miss Young and Aaron Spelling was amiable despite the story differences,” the statement said. Miss Young had been scheduled to play the role of Margaret Drake, the matriarch of a Seattle shipping family in “Dark Mansions,” a contemporary Gothic drama. There was no immediate word from either Aaron Spelling Productions or ABC who would replace Miss Young in the role. “It’s true that we had creative differences over the way her character was developing,” Spelling said in a statement released by a spokesman, David Horowitz. “She's a great star and a great friend and I hope she always remains both.” Miss Young won an Academy Award as best actress in 1948 for “The Farmer’s Daughter.” She was the star of 94 motion pictures and was the creator, producer and star of “The Loretta Young Show” during television’s so-called Golden Age Miss Young had been scheduled to work eight days out of the four week shooting schedule. The movie, a pilot for an ABC prime-time soap opera, also stars Michael York, who would make his series debut, Linda Purl, Paul Shenar, Melissa Sue Anderson, Raymond St. Jacques and Dan O’Herlihy. Miss Young s last film was “It Happens Every Thursday” in 1953. She then took the unprecedented step of retiring from films to produce and star in "The Loretta Young Show" on television. She won three Emmy awards as best dramatic actress in 1954, 1956 and 1958. She was also nominated five other times. The anthology show ran on NBC from 1953 to 1961. In the 1962-63 season she starred on NBC in a dramatic show called “The New Loretta Young Show.” As we know Joan Fontaine took on the role

    • I do think Ben should come back. I think Max Bowden is all wrong for Ben.
    • Thank you, been waiting so long for this, and I appreciate how much work it is typing this all out and creating the charts for us!
