Beyond tone deaf. No doubt it went through a handful of people before it was posted and no one thought, "maybe we should edit this out or get someone else, perhaps someone from behind the scenes?"

@YandR_CBS asked ME and I was honored to give it. My words were never intended to disregard or disrespect the truly valuable cast that has worked in building its legacy throughout the years. My hope is to honor it in the same way these legends have & continue to do.

Oh Jordi SHUT UP. You always back track after you get called out on stuff, you did the same thing on AMC too

[Faulkner]

Wait, has Neil still not seen Lily in prison? He was on today. Is there some BTS drama between KSJ and CK we don’t know about lol?

 

Also, a major corporation doesn’t have a cross shredder? They are like $20 at Staples.

Lily said her Dad has visited her but it wasn't on screen

[Faulkner]

Oh ok. Still very strange it wasn’t onscreen.

[StepBack]

Ok, so I'm not overall happy with the show, but man Eileen Davidson has been killing it. The last couple of episodes have actually been pretty good. Marla Adams continues to amaze. I also enjoyed Phyllis/Billy, although I wish Gina used more restraint. 

 

I also don't think the show looks cheap, but the sets aren't as good as they used to be. The show is being slimmed down, not sure what people expect. Soaps are a dying breed, and have basically reinvigorated themselves on Primetime as "dramas" with higher production (see. GoT).

 

I don't really see Summer as the victim, but Billy did take advantage of her and that's messed up. So far, the fallout has been good.

 

I really hope it's Tessa behind the blackmail and then she can finally get going. Knowing how this goes, as soon as it's time for Tessa to be gone she will be come much more interesting and her acting will be much better lol

 

The Lily scenes were surprisingly well done.

LOL I love how he tells it like it is

[frequentsoapfan]

Braden doesnt stick up for his costars out of the goodness of his heart. He only mentions them when he feels slighted onscreen and wants to rally additional support.

Traci's daydreaming of them and the taping of them when they were kids and young Dina and John was well done...

Someone on Twitter just accused MY of stealing from This Is Us.

He probably did. We all know he at least "borrowed" from Big Little Lies.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks was released in December of 1971. Jack appears to be 15/16 (I want to say 15 based on the fact that he only has his permit). Ashley looks to be 9-11 and Traci is 6 or 7 I'd guess. Now Terry Lester was 30 when he took on the role of Jack in 1980 and I've surmised that Jack was meant to be around the same age, with Ashley about 5 years younger and Traci around 5 years younger than her. So they've de-aged the characters a bit. Which is fine, I just find breaking this stuff down interesting.

 

John and Dina weren't great casting, with John being better than Dina who was particularly weak and entirely too young for what the character was going through. Other than that I liked those bits, of course I literally watched nothing else in the episode. I wish soaps did these type of changes in pace more often.

[Soapsuds]

Am I wrong or did Dina just leave without telling anyone? In the flashbacks she told Jack who then told John she was leaving. I thought they were surprised she just left without any notice??
