I'm starting to think the networks will cancel the remaining 4 shows and just put something cheap in their places. Lord knows I haven't liked everything Mal has done, but At least find it entertaining. but if ratings aren't budging and are also going lower....and DD needs to hush. actors don;t get brave until the EP/HW is on their way out the door. hell, when was the last time Michael and Lauren have been seen?

Did I misunderstand Devon? He made a comment about purchasing the apartment on the floor below. Doesn't he own the entire building?

 

Summer is very different! and HK seems to have lost her lisp.

 

I love Erica as Farrah.

 

Still ticked about Victor re: Christian. Hate it that they are doing this to give Lauren Woodland a SL. I can't watch Victor do this again. I'm sorry LW.

I agree. And I hope they do and think they will. Especially in light of the recent casting news. I could see him being used to drive storyline for this family including Cane/Lily. I can already see how his relationship with Shauna is causing conflict with Lily. Lily really wasn't having it today with him in regards to him keeping Shauna in his room. She grudgingly agreed to help figure out a solution on what to do with Shauna but she was mad at Shauna/Charlie.

 

As their relationship blossoms, I could see her getting fed up with them if she thinks that Charlie is falling too soon and moving too fast with Shauna. She could end up feeling that Shauna is undermining her role in Charlie's life, if Charlie continues to make decisions regarding Shauna that Lily doesn't approve of. These types of things could be interesting and help drive story for the Winters/Ashby family. 

 

Plus, Neil and Charlie continue to be cute together. I enjoy their relationship.

I'm catching up on the last several episodes. Nikki and Victor are just beyond words with their hypocrisy. It drives me crazy when a show ignores reality to such an extent. Even with Sharon having a scandalous history, Victor and Nikki have literally zero room to preach and I wish they would have their pasts shoved in their faces more often. Sharon at least has a diagnosed mental illness and will admit she's done bad things. Nikki just becomes a drunken mess, while still managing to be uppity, and Victor's truly a psychopath.

Why does Hilary have to be with Devon? It's becoming forced and rather boring. She's such an interesting, dynamic character, played by a charismatic actress. Devon is such a boring and unlikable character who sucks the life out of every scene. I funny understand why Hilary has to be saddled with him and she's not allowed a story without him. It's actually rather insulting to Mishael Morgan. They need to try Hilary more across the canvas.

Hilary was all across canvas for a full year. She was driving story for much of the canvas as an ambitious business woman who would sell her soul to the devil for ratings. She had a new boyfriend whom she was supposedly so into that she fought lily to be with despite lily not being interested in him. All that seemed to be hated.  

 

 

Summer as a young Phyllis is good on paper. I'm not so sure about execution though.

Because the show isn’t going to hire 10 more guys to chase Hilary. She’s good with Devon when the writing is good. Why you’re trashing Bryton like this, I don’t know.

 

Besides, you have to be aware that MiM is leaving, right? Your point is moot.

Eric Braeden should stop playing Victor as if he’s overdosing on Xanax.

    • B&B has uploaded May 8th episode to cbs.com and paramountplus. I wonder if it will remain or be removed?
    • -- Off, indeed. I wrote my rant while watching the show. Then I heard Dante mention manslaughter and Danny in the same sentence. Just over-the-top ridiculousness. -- Is Brad written off for good? If so, what a lousy exit. -- Portia is looking sooooooo dumb these days. Just clueless as to how she's coming across.
    • As usual, Dani makes everything all about herself.   Sweetie.. this isn't about you.   I think deep down, the Dupree would be relieved if Dani wasn't around.
    • I watched it all. I was fine with her on both GH and on PC. But, what you describe for Llanview would've worked really well. I just think the whole concept of moving her from show to show was  in big trouble from the start. And, there were some specific blunders, like MAX, GMAB, she had no idea whether she'd had a boy or a girl and he was at least a decade older than any of the others.  I did very much like the idea that Myrtle was her mom.

      date: Thursday, May 8 | Ron Carlivati, Danielle Paige | Phideaux Xavier I love the continued references to real-life things; I feel like that's been so avoided in American daytime soaps for such a long time. Dana is genuinely unhinged; she is giving Glenn Close as Alex in Fatal Attraction to the fullest extent, acting as if she's the ultimate love of Ted’s life when she was nothing more than a sidepiece. Not Dana packing up Eva's belongings and throwing her ass out like she is common trash. The child bride is giving a cheap trailer wife look with this look. But she needs to sit her behind down; this is not her fight. This existed before anyone knew she even existed. This is between Bill and Ted right now. I feel like Dani is speaking from experience, knowing of Bill's infidelity throughout her marriage, and I do feel like this is her [trying] to protect her big sissy from the hurt she's been experiencing. Not Anita comparing Ted to Bill; they're both scum men who did not deserve the Dupree women they conned into marrying them. Katherine is putting demands on her new relationship with Tomas; I understand it, but that is not healthy at all, no matter which side. If Tomas demanded that of her, I know she'd high-tail it out of there. Cannot have double standards. Dani walking in, commanding the room, and tossing Hayley out of her own living room? Whew. Not Dana legitimately throwing the photo out of her and Eva; that's cold. "There is no purchase in what might have been," Anita Dupree. What brilliant advice. So wise. Full of wisdom. So now Ted wants to get a hotel room for Eva and then get her her own apartment? Well, okay then. Notes: Ambyr Michelle (Eva) once again gave a masterful performance in today's episode. She's so going places outside of daytime. I see her doing her three-year contract (if that's how they're done for this soap) and ditching it to go back into primetime/film. It is abundantly clear to me why Maurice Johnson (Ted) is exiting the role. I have not bought his performance once throughout any of the "reveal" nor in today's episode. I'm not compelled to believe him or believe in him. At all. There is no emotion in his performance.
    • Ron C breakdowns usually involve quick snip scenes.. and so far, it is apparent in spades.  I wish we had the longer scenes like we had in the previous few episodes. And I see Febreeze appeared again today.  More airtime/purpose than Ashley/Derek LOL
    • I loved Felicia and Donna. They were two of the reasons I couldn't stop watching the show even when the writing was horrible. I was never really a fan of Rachel's unless she was sniping at Cecile (my fave character!). But Felicia and Donna (especially Anna Stuart) are AW to me. Of course, it was around the time of their arrivals that I remember I started watching the show. I was 10 in '83. For me, they were always there. I wouldn't have wanted either of them to be killed off.  Rachel and Mac were okay for me but I never saw most of their relationship play or Rachel's previous work with Steve and Alice. I just saw her as there; the matriarch. Never a fan of Rachel and Carl. It made no sense whatsoever.  I did like Quinn and was shocked when they killed her off. Her and Zack were just starting to become a couple I wanted to watch. She should definitely have been a fixture on the show along with her family. Carter and Thomasina I thought were fun and a great couple, too.  That's the thing about being an AW fan. The show was always on the brink of greatness, but then it would shoot itself in the foot with stupid decisions from writing to cast exits, etc. They could just never quite get it together. The cast was amazing! It's the only thing that saved them for so long. 
    • I LOVED LD on AW...one of my all time favorite characters! However, on OLTL, her character was pretty pointless from the word go. I think trying to make her this character she played decades before was also a bad choice. She should have been a brand new character that could have been tied into the current canvas better. Rae really had no connections or family on the show. Imagine if she had been brought on as a recast Melinda Cramer, freshly released from the hospital. She would have been tied into a major family, be Kelly's mother, and have some real drama to play opposite RS.
