Brady is much better as a raging jealous lunatic. I'm ready for Nicole to go too but I'm kind of happy Ron has corrected Eric and Nicole.

 

Rafe and Hope haven't been on a ton but I will never ever like them together. I've heard the show is aware they aren't lighting the world on fire. I've also heard Ken Corday's wife likes Galen Gering, hence how he's kept his job so long. I'm all for diversity but if they're keeping Galen and Camila Banus around to fill their quota than they need to cut their losses. Banus is hit or miss for me. I could get behind Eli/Gabi. I can see a Eli/Gabi/Lani/JJ quad but the writing has to improve for them for me to truly care as most of them are so bland and not very interesting to watch. JJ lost his edge so long ago he's just as bland now but Moss makes me still like him. Eli has potential.

 

I'm about 5-6 episodes behind ... (lost power from Hurricane Irma on Sunday and just got it back yesterday; had a generator so I could do some things but it wasn't a priority to catch up; I lucked out, no power and some limbs in the yard)

 

Exactly. Ron might have tweaked some things but most of it was letting Higley's material play out, although some want to hold him responsible. I'll wait a few more months.

mmmhmm ...

Nicole, Rope and Brady are definitely the low points of any episode. I prefer Brady as a loose cannon jealous raging lunatic drinking and snorting lines, but I've been tired of him for a while now. I wish he were taking a long break or leaving with Nicole. He's been focused on way too much over the years.

 

Rafe and Hope should have remained friends. They're awful together. No drama between them and it just doesn't feel like a natural fit to me. Corday's wife loves Galen so that would explain why he's kept his job for nearly ten years. And Kristian is desperate to be in a pairing and make it work, even though the show seems to now be aware it isn't.

I like T-Boz and think they should keep her around as Sheila. She and Judi Evans work well together.

Imagine if we weren't friends...then you'd really be a snarky bitch.....LOL  And you being a redhead helps....I love me some redheads..

Dena's Who Killed Deimos story was coming to an end the same week Ron took over. Hope and Rafe were supposed to go to Greece and get a confession out of Xander, and that would have been it. Ron changed it so John and Paul went and saw Xander and the story continued. The Anjelica story was about the Spectator with Adrienne and Jennifer. In Ron's very first episode, the doppelganger plot was introduced.

 

No, one member on DR repeatingly jokes about it.

    • Yes we have seen Dani/Andre, Doug/Vanessa, Ashley/Derek and Naomi/Jacob in bed but no Martin/Smitty. And Chelsea's 3 way involvement has consisted of about 3 scenes at the Hideout before it was over.
    • Thanks Bold!  You finally have your first year of YR ratings coming, which completes the ratings for the entire run of YR! I look forward to the day that happens with Days in the 1965-1966 batch, but that will probably be a few years away. A lot of work, but a lot of fun chronicling the history of daytime TV ratings, preemptions and specials!!

    • 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
