Tuned in to see the wedding fallout.

 

Can I just say that Doug and Julie are LOVE. Watching their scenes as Julie is trying to get ordained are just a great example of how great actors can turn simple moments into gold.

The disadvantage of the long lead time in filming is that if there is anything spark worthy that appears when you film something.. it will take a long time to adjust story unlike the old days where you could adjust it faster (i.e. Stefan/Chloe having chemistry when he first came on... yet he's all into Gabigail.. when the story should have started shifting to focus on the potential for those two).

 

I forgot about the Kim DID story back in 1992... Sheri Anderson crafted most of the story since she was head writing during that period.

I'm shocked - shocked! - that Ron may write yet another story in which a man 'reluctantly' or unwittingly sleeps with or outright violates a mentally ill woman (who's already partnered, because they're never actually single) with multiple personalities.

Okay...way to kill Friday's momentum. LOL!!!

 

Watching TUESDAY and I have to pick...

 

...due to work schedule and working on a new writing project, I fell behind on watching DAYS. Back at NYE Brady and Eve had started their cat and mouse. She's been back since Halloween. And now we are into March and they appear to be in the same spot. I found their scenes today jarring. I guess I expected more advancement. 

 

Still loving nuCiara, but I don't like she was propping Rafe. I would think she would be trying to find her mother.

 

ETA: Speaking of missed opportunities, they should have gone there with Brady v Eric. It seems like they are having random scenes again, but that momentum post-Nicole leaving was lost. This show could really use some rivalry going on. 

 

And GV...yum. lol. Though that changes from scene to scene.

YW, Skylover.

 

 

SOOOO this is the Gabby.

 

Uh...while I don't like the idea of RC doing another DID story that is sure to be a doozy...unpopular opinion, but I thought she did a good job with the change.  Cuz Abby sure does not sashay around with sass like that. And I loved the idea of an alter running around the Dimera manison using its many trapdoors. That one scene in Wednesday episode was a hoot. 

 

Still...I think the flow has been killed from last week. I do like that it is still there...being a B plot which isn't too bad. It is still airing. 

 

However does that make the A plot at the moment JJ/Lani/Eli/Gaby? Andre murder appears to be C plot and has morphed into the DID story if anything. In any case, not sure how I feel about that quad. It had promise the last time I watched. But now...it is uneven.

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of 
    • FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM FEBRUARY 1973 & MAY 1973:

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
    • Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?
    • I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.
