I agree with you. Guy was miscast and isn’t a good actor, but there was HEAT with Christopher. Those scenes were HOT.

 

Chandler holds back in his romantic and kissing scenes. He seems uncomfortable, and I don’t know if it’s because he’s not gay or because he IS gay. Plus if he smirks through those scenes he’ll ruin those moments, too. Being good looking isn’t enough.

 

Freddie Smith? I’d recast. He can’t play tough and mean, and he’s a dud as a gay romantic partner. No chemistry with CM or CS.

Just watched Mon/Tues and i still find something about the pacing of eps to be off. Can't figure it out but it just doesn't "feel" right. The eps were pretty good overall and they kept me interested. 

 

I'm here for Lucas and Will along with Sami and Ben today....but watch...the show will wait til Friday or something before they pick it up. 

I thought Chandler needs to have more emotion as well in scenes but then I stopped to think that this guy (Will) has no connection to any of these characters so why would he get emotional around them. They are strangers to him. The only time he should show emotion is in his frustration for what has happened to him and that he can't remember. Then, I agree. He could do far better. The scenes with Kate were nice.

One would think that at least ONE place would. Maybe it will come up later in the "investigation".

It is DAYS, however. They can't even afford to have people in the square let alone put up cameras.

 

Again, today's episode was good but the pacing drives me as insane as Ben. This show should have been on fire with Lucas/Will, Chad's fight with Andrea, the Rafe/Hope fight, and all of Sami/Ben's craziness. I know shows get crap for doing such rapid fire, short scenes sometimes but this was an ep that almost required it. The show should have been bouncing back-and-forth quickly between everything that was going on. Instead, I felt like I was watching a high school play acting out scenes instead of watching a television DRAMA!

Still have 10 min left before the show ends but the Sami/Will/Ben scene are so sick but yet so riveting! I think this is the best episode in a while.

Scott McKinsey did a great job in directing it. To me the Rafe/Hope, Chad/Andre and Marlena/John were all filler. Yes, it has some important stuff but the show could have easily revolved on only Will/Sami/Ben/Lucas and Marlena finding the book Sami had been reading. I might also have to do that I don't care for the Rafe/Hope pairing or for Chad yelling at Andre ....I thought Chad's scenes fell flat today. All that said the episode was still solid.

Sami dragging sexy serial killing Benny into her nutty scheme is totally in character for her. Over the top and not well thought out. The Rope drama was meh. The Andre/Chaddie stuff was also meh.  I felt so bad for Lucas. But the only think i could think when he was hugging Will was that he must reek. Wow! Days couldn't afford any extra's when Sami's goons took Will

. I can't remember the last time Jarlene shared scenes in their own home. So it was nice seeing them at the penthouse.

    • 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.
