I like Mia, and I actually don't mind the new family (well, except Lola when she's around Kyle and other youngsters... and she always looks at people's mouths when she speaks. Kinda jarring to watch).  My problem with Mia is that they are showcasing her way too much too soon and trying to integrate her with way too many Genoa City residents right off the bat.

 

It's like watching Betty White hop from Days of Our Lives to Another World to Santa Barbara for a late 80's sweepstakes competition: which scene will Mia show up in next?

Sounds like Mal is appealing to every ethnic stereotype of the 'spicy Latina' and Latin lover who is oversexed and highly promiscuous. 

 

Then again from what I've read of how he's written Phyllis, he basically writes her as if she's a hard-charging, hard-drinking, i.e. chugging liquor out of hotel minibars and egotistical power-grabbing man.

 

Otherwise, the way a rabid misogynist might write female characters.

I think it was interesting that Rey stated that Mia was Arturo's girlfriend first, and that Rey was in love with her for years for anything happened between them. I think that he may have been her second choice and that she may have largely gotten with him because Arturo didn't want to be with her anymore. I think that Mia definitely likes to play the brothers against each other and may want Arturo more than Rey and/or want to keep a hold on both brothers. I thought that Lola read her correctly today when she said that Mia loves attention. She likes to play games as evidenced by her behavior and the devious smiles she makes way when she is pretending to be serious about something.

 

Mia acts a lot like Summer, which Lola pointed out today as well. The more I see of her and read spoilers about her, the more I wonder if she's not going to try and do something even messier. Like sleep with Kyle or somebody. Granted, Summer is after Kyle too, but I wouldn't be surprised if Mia made a play for him to get underneath Lola's skin. Or if she ends up sleeping with somebody surprising, causing some trouble in GC. 

 

Also, I wonder where the show is going with Billy/Sharon. He almost kissed her today, but she put a stop to it. She basically said she'd liked being friends with him, and didn't want to do revenge sex with him. I wonder if they will continue to be friends or if something more will develop between them. I really like her with Rey and am waiting for him to dump Mia, so they can be together.

I apologize, I had posted those promos in the wrong thread. I meant to post them in the spoilers thread. I deleted them in my original post and put them in the spoiler thread. If you want, you can delete them as part of your posts, for people who want to remain unspoiled. But feel free to put your comments about them in the spoiler thread, lol.

Bad opinion - I like the Rosales family.  Great change from the boring Winters.  Devon needed to go.  So did Niel. Or Neal. And Lily and their kids.  Jordi V. Is smoking hot and I’ll look at that all day.  

And he’s a better actor than 3/4 of the cast of Y&R.  Y&R - never great acting. When this guy comes in and smokes most of the people? It’s bad.

    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. While others may be able to add numerous offenses, the egocentrism to force any conversation off-topic to focus on you is the most egregious act for me.  This is light entertainment, an interactive discussion, not the shallotpeel-hour.
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
