Holy Sh.it Cane is disgusting. He totally threw Neil under the bus to Devon to try and get him to change his mind. Mind you, I've always thought it was weird no one ever brought up what Neil did to Hilary,  but Cane is certainly not the person to do it.

I'm tuning in after a month or two away and OMG

 did budgets drop dramatically while I was gone? I cannot get over how flimsy the sets look and how poor the lighting is, especially during Cane and Lily's 'bedroom' scene at the top of the episode. Was that a broom cupboard in CBS Studio City?

 

Bryton James was great yesterday and blew everybody out of the water. Everybody else was pretty meh.

IA with you. It's deeply offensive that a white Aussie is 'leading' the Winters. If Neil is 'unavailable,' then it should without a doubt be power-player moneybags Devon.

 

There's also something about the way DG plays Cane... like Cane is slow. This gif illustrates what I mean, after he hits Billy.

Bet Cane Ashby will be the one 'Winters' member left standing on the canvas once they finish dismantling. I have heard no rumors of him leaving or going on recurring.

 

 

I read his ridiculous interview. It's embarrassing that he comes from UK soaps where the lighting and some of the outdoor sets are of pretty high quality.

 

Seriously, I was shocked at how it all looked. In the space of under two months! I mean, I know JFP trashed the Y&R production aesthetic with her shitty generic taste, but it is really noticeable to me Monday's episode that the budget has taken a hit.

Cane is unpleasant to the extreme. DG darts his eyes as if he's on some junk.

 

Tessa/CF might have been tolerable if this show had acting coaches or actual directors.

...

 

They don't... right? Because, if they do, it speaks volumes of how little they care. It reminds me of Days where, afaik, they're given a script and thrown to the wolves. All it amounts to is a debilitating load of personal tics that no one BTS will shut down.

    • Thanks @Paul Raven  Amidst these terrible stories I see we get the arrival of Heather. I never knew Alice forged references for her. No wonder she later became a murderer. She was a criminal all along.  The Jeff/Monica/Rick story always seems so brazen and so depressing all at once - I can't imagine how people would have talked about it in the Internet/Twitter era.  I don't understand the choice to put Audrey and Steve through even more misery after they had been separated for almost a decade. The sudden inclusion of magazine stories is fascinating...and I'm not sure if it is ever a huge story narrative for GH after this point, even when characters on the show ran magazines. The end of the Leslie and Cam story did not need to be like this (and feels a little rushed). Had every woman on the canvas at this time been raped?   
    • I am bewildered and fascinated by the choice to have John Loprieno and Adam Storke play out all their dramatic sequences here in clown makeup. They really took that circus motif seriously.

    • Happy belated birthday to Joan. Here's an interview with Jackie Collins at about 39 minutes.

    • Does anyone have a favorite adult Russ Matthews?  Which actor did you like most?  Sam Groom, Robert Hover, or David Bailey??  And why?   And if Russ had returned late in AW's run, what actor would you have wanted to portray him?  One of the former actors, or someone new??  
    • I think the move to NBC dealt a huge blow to SFT that caused the show to slowly bleed out throughout their almost five year run on that network. SFT was a CBS show and it really showed when it first started airing on NBC so I understood P &G having to make adjustments to the soap in order to make it fit onto the NBC schedule vs the CBS schedule. The 1983 Tomlin/Lee era was probably the strongest while it was on NBC.  They managed to still focus on Stu/Stephanie/Jo while developing a strong youth focus with Wendy/Warren/Suzi/Kristen/ Brian with the comic element with Rhonda Sue and her partner.  This helped the show from staying the Liza/Travis show.. which it was in 1981/1982.
    • Hey, I'm wondering if anyone has cross-referenced Spauldingfield's undated episodes with the German playlists? An angel has been uploading to the Soap Vault and it would be great to be able to date all those episodes. I have access to rename them, if anyone has a list.

    • It’s sad that all these fabulous soap writers who truly understand the craft are dead/going to die soon. I wonder if there will ever be a resurgence of writers who can carry on their legacy one day.
