It makes NO SENSE that they didn't move into the Chancellor mansion, except the truth is they probably don't want to use that set. Instead we get STUPID discussions about how crowded the Abbot "mansion" is and living over the garage, etc.

 

And why can't Dina be told who Billy and Phyllis are? Why do they have to constantly LIE to her? I understand going along with an Alzheimer patient, but does that mean you can't say "THIS IS YOUR RELATIVE"???

 

Summer is on  Jaboat, going around in circles with no cell phone? So who's piloting the boat? Isn't this frickin KIDNAPPING???

 

The Victoria stuff with Nikki is putrid. Nikki climbs in bed with her in the middle of the day? Where in the hell are Victoria's KIDS? Oh, I guess they're at school until 5.

 

This show is such a sh_itshow I can't believe it.

Today's show was better than it's been in a bit. Though, their interaction was brief, I enjoyed Abby/Nate interacting and saw chemistry between them.  I also liked Abby talking with Devon. And Devon and Victor interacting with Victor giving him advice.

 

Also, while I didn't care for Jordi Vilasuso as Griffin on All My Children,  I am liking him as Ray. I like him and Sharon together. 

 

I am glad that Summer wasn't on today (or yesterday). The show has been focusing too much on her. And it was nice seeing Dina pop up. We really haven't seen much of her in a while.

    • 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.
    • I just did with GL and its made me very happy!

          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 
    • Wow it’s official, Gatwa is out… https://www.avclub.com/ncuti-gatwa-addresses-doctor-who-finale-statement DW fandom on Reddit is in a furor over how things went down and apparent last minute scrapping of the original ending. Also…Billie Piper again really?
