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.

      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.

          Oh yes, trying to get into any soap from scratch starting post-2010 would be hard. I prefer to go back to the good ol' days, before the decline.

      Can we talk about how iconic the 1994 tornado was on AMC? I was scanning through old episodes last night and came across this episode. The tornado was epic and the storylines/aftermath were so good (Julia's scar/Noah!; Jenny/Ray/Nola/Jesse in heaven with Tad, etc).  For 1994, these special effects and budget for this big event were amazing. 10 out of 10!  The only thing missing is Erica!  I can't recall where Erica was at the time, but I really wish she had been involved in this storyline.

      On the way to her own engagement party? I've read that the show had trouble getting the audience to sympathize with Rita, but...that seems bizarre. Maybe I can understand the issue with the censors, given that at the time, rape wasn't depicted the way it is now, and marital rape was even less acknowledged.  Wasn't Chris Brooks' rape one of the first honest stories on the subject? I just don't think I could get into a show I didn't have a working knowledge of. I know it's a different era, but I really tried to get into GH once Maura West joined, but it just never jelled.

      Yes it was! My mom and I convinced my dad to get one. He was--how shall I put this?--on the thrifty side, but one day he came home with one as a surprise. To this day, I'm convinced it fell off a truck. (He knew people with "connections."

      ) BUT, we had our VCR and we could watch our soaps. That thing lasted forever! It was built like a tank. Even when we got new ones with more features, we kept that one.

        Blasphemy!  (Haha, I get it.  But, you should try watching AMC! 80s-90s was so good.)

      I thought about saying how I resented the fact that those two newbies were tripping up the Puppetmaster of all Puppetmasters, when the best others could do was a stalemate (or less...). But, well...*sigh*

      I read years ago that both Zaslow and Lenore both complained that it came off as a seduction because of CBS censors, so Lenore asked if she could say, "you raped me" to leave no doubt with the audience, and that Zaslow insisted that Holly's rape played realistically
