Watched Monday’s episode last night. First full episode in months and I really enjoyed it! It was so nice to see nu-Abby actually smiling and laughing. When I was last a regular viewer, all the character did was dumb [!@#$%^&*] and looked constipated.

 

The vows and flashbacks were well done, but I did get distracted by Sonny’s up and down weight throughout. Sometimes there was a double chin, then the next he was slim and handsome. Also, I forgot how much I hate Chandler’s smirk until I saw it again on full display lol. I feel like the two had more chemistry when I was watching the love story in real time, as through the flashbacks it just felt like two straight guys trying to be gay.

 

Last note, it was nice actually seeing the church pretty full.

I will definitely agree Monday’s episode flew by and not in a bad way. The show feels very soapy right now in a good way.

 

Btw when I read about Bonnie/Adrienne I was totally opposed to it because during Bonnie’s first run it was never mentioned that she looked anything like Adrienne, but I will say she was hilarious at the wedding. She’s totally clueless on how to play Adrienne and I loved it. I never even liked Bonnie, but it’s so nice to see Judi Evans not crying.

Agreed on Bonnie. I HATED her in her first run. Wasn't a fan. LOVE Judi though who plays her SO great. But I find myself this time just loving Bonnie, lol. Although I feel like the Adrienne/Bonnie thing isn't being played enough and is being dragged out now. I'd like to see some momentum here. I also think I'm just so bored by Adrienne and her crying and how they never did much with her over the last 10 years, IMHO, so Bonnie is like a breath of fresh air and Judi is clearly having a ball and doing great work, it's nice to be reminded how great Judi can be. Adrienne is so ... blah.

 

Been behind on episodes lately so I haven't commented much. I read recaps daily so I'm up on all that happens but I still need to watch several episodes. Sounds like some good stuff lately.

Yes, I agree!  It looks like they are going to be playing all the beats to Will's return. I kind of like that but kind of don't because I want to see him alive already...LOL

I have to say that Ron is actually getting me to like Chad and Abby now that this mess with Gabi is over. I never really cared if they were a couple or not but the last few eps have made me start to root for them. 

 

The scene with Paul and Lani was a nice touch since they were close at one time.

 

I thought J.J. was a little over the top but I suppose they need to have "history" of being the hot head if they are doing the upcoming story with Theo.

Sonny and Paul feel more believable as a couple and less like actors acting than Will and Sonny, but Will's involvement in the storyline makes all the characters feel very real and relatable.

 

Loved Kate and Marlena talking about Will in separate scenes in Tuesday's episode. I also really liked how Marlena mentioned how her own crazy experiences make her more inclined to believe Will could be alive. Kate is just awesome in general.

 

Chad has grown on me. Turns out the actor did just have 2 duff episodes.

 

That Ben guy is hot, gonna read up on him.

    • 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!
