Today seemed like nobody edited the story or actor's lines.  Lily says that Cane treated her to a spa day at the club.  She then goes home and Cane has a massage table set up???

I won't even go into how stupid the Paris theme was.

 

It's obvious that Chelsea is up to something, but when did this all happen???  A couple of days ago everything was perfect for her.  

 

It drives me nuts when writers change the character on a dime.  I did enjoy the JT/Phyllis scenes today.  They play well off each other.

I think on this soap she has to love Sam if she's going to be with Cane.  Not doing so would sort of be interesting, but it would basically make Lily abusive.  I'm actually impressed that she resents having to take care of him. I wouldn't have thought they'd have the guts to go there. All of this would be a little different if Juliet were alive and Sam wasn't a newborn.

 

I like Hillary's story. Yes, it's another baby story, but at least Hillary is taking charge of her fertility. What bothers me about most baby stories is that the woman is desperate not to have a child, but to have a specific man's child and feeling like a failure if she can't.  We saw echos of that with Lily/Cane and it really annoyed me.  Also, the doctor telling Hillary that her fertility would be "toast" after 35 and she should freeze her eggs if she wants to delay.

1) What kind of doctor talks like that? 2) That advice is dubious. 

 

I realized the other day I totally check out when Phyllis and Billy are on.  I like Gina, so it made me sad to realize I have no idea what is going on with her character.  That pairing has turned into a total snooze. 

 

I hope Ashley screws Jack over hard.

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.

      Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.

      The Pilot Thread

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.

      Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.

      Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!
