Well I posted before somewhere....it didn't take long.  I mentioned when Xander would become a photographer like Zende did, since Zoe is basically a replacement for Sasha or Nicole....they ditched Oliver so that Zende could be the photographer, and now Xander is taking photos of a little runway shoot.  Wash, rinse, repeat.

I'm not sure because I haven't watched in six months. He said it was whatever story Ingo (Thorne) has with the interns.  He made is so clear that he doesn't think much of the writers didn't he? Damn. Also, that he's basically been replaced by Ingo. That they basically can't afford both of them.  I was surprised by his candor until he said he's not interested in a contract again.

Did Jacob Young get any credit with WGA for his story?  If not, that is thoroughly dirty by Brad Bell.

Even if they made changes, he should still get credit for the story.  It's the ethical thing to do. I haven't watched this show in forever, so I don't know what story he's referring to but as a writer it vexes my spirit to hear about Brad doing this.

I can count the amount of times that I was on Hope or Brooke's corner over the years on one hand, but I did feel Steffy was a bit out of line. Secluding herself from the decision as Co-CEO but asking Hope to drop her line and pleading with Ridge to keep hers felt a bit.. contradictory. Brooke storming in at the end of Friday's episode and going on a rant was fun. Can't wait for tomorrow's confrontation between her and Steffy.

 

This whole HFTF vs. Intimate's thing is really contrived though. I know a lot of characters have, rightfully, been asking why a decision needs to be made, but no matter how many times Ridge repeats it, it's still too obvious a plot point.

    • 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.  
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 Loved her. I've never seen her Doctors work. 
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 I just loved Valerie on my early '90s TV shows. This one gets me. 
    • I assume they did at some point during the finale...
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex? 
    • 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!
