No, she definitely is... lol.

Their scenes were pure ff material for me. Both are boring.

I love Leo's reactions to Mother Kiriakis.

Those were good scenes. I think they should've used a knife though instead of the scissors....LOL

And I loved the Will and Diana scenes as well.

Spoiler

So is Ciara the first one killed off?

I thought Chandler ruined the Diana scenes with his grinning and smirking. He’s a terrible actor.

GR is great as Leo, but I have problems with Leo being cunning and shrewd and ruthless one day, and then scared and confused and stupid the next. Doesn’t work for me.

Perhaps GR should follow Kathleen Turner's lead and play Leo as a drunk?

That might work. I’m not blaming GR. I think the writing is schizophrenic.

A thirsty Leo strikes again. I really hope Leo didn't make out with his bro. Leo telling Brady he had a gay face was funny. Sonny Bear & Prince Will would never do this.

Didn't something like this happen on Passions with Ethan?

Ok as a gay male I hated that with Leo and Brady. If this had been between a man and a woman it could have lead to sexual harrasement/Assualt and it shpuld. This is stuff Rn does that I dont like. He may be gay but Leo is a Preadator. He is not a good guy dont try and sell me that he is

I do enjoy Leo's antics. But i get were your coming from. I like that he embrace his sexuality and has no shame. Leo could easily hookup with a gay dude. After awhile Leo hitting on all the ULTRA straight guys in Salem is going to get tired. Leo isn't a good guy. That's a shady extremely thirsty queen. He adds a much needed spice to a bland and played out Wilson.

Leo sure is thirsty. I didn't catch the line of the gay face. I'll have to rewatch it. Kudos to Eric for doing those scenes. I am sure Greg had a blast playing Leo. It's the role he wanted to do.

I don't think any writer has written a gay man correctly. I've never met a Will in my life. Do they exist? The closest gay guy that was written somewhat correctly was Reid from ATWT. He didn't take [!@#$%^&*] from anyone. His bf was his job and his best friend was a female. And his heart was hard to crack.

As for Ron....did he do anything like it on OLTL? And I don't think anyone feels like Leo is a good guy.

Kyle and Fish....liked them as a couple. I remember some saying that Kyle changed and now was being portrayed as a gay romantic guy. I never saw Kyle from the beginning so I had no opinion on it. Their scenes of love making is the best I've seen from a daytime gay couple on tv. It's too bad they were used as an escape goat for OLTL poor ratings at the time.

Yeah, I don't think the show is trying to sell us that Leo is good at all.

I cracked up at Leo saying that Brady and Xandy are borderline homophobic because they don't want to f-ck him. And then Big Daddy John is a silver fox 😂 I love it.

This was HOT. Kyle was a bit of a bad boy in the beginning.

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
