How nice of killer Ben to threaten Rory. While Ciara runs around town looking like an idiot defending him. Lawd. And all Eve had to do to shut down Ciara's whining was remind her that Ben, you know, KILLED her daughter and Eve has every right to harass Ben. FRAME AWAY EVE! (Why do I get the weird vibe we may get a who shot Eve or who shot Jack storyline?)

 

It's been great having Rory back! Kevin Riggin is really good. I hope Ron continues to use Rory.

 

LOL at Claire setting fire to the Horton cabin. Of course hero Ben will save the day. Zzzzz. Ben has no room to throw stones and neither does Tripp, which he at least acknowledged to Haley.

 

I liked Stacy as Susan a ton so I'm looking forward to her. And yes, before I'm ripped apart by the new poster, I'm an Eileen/Susan/Kristen fan but Stacy is more than good in the role. It's just my opinion no need to get bothered by it. I still prefer Eileen, hands down. But Stacy gets the job done.

 

Wilson are a snooze. I agree it's time to give them a HEA and ship them off. No need to recast either. Chandler gave up when Christopher Sean left. Freddie seems to be "trying" again, actually, but he's BAD. Lawd. So cringe ... at least they're fixing his hair. Big improvement. Still looked like a weed wacker went to town on it though ...

 

The Eli/Lani breakup was awful and lame. LOL. They are such afterthoughts and not at all an interesting couple, which is a shame because they could be. Both Sal and Lamon have great personalities that don't often shine through in their characters. Lani and Rafe have ZERO chemistry (why am I not surprised?). I imagine Elani get back together and I imagine Rafe and Hope do as well and I really don't care about any of them or any of what they're going through. I want to love Eli and Lani but the writing is non-existent for them.

It doesn’t bother me that you like her. I hate her, but that’s just my personal opinion. Maybe if they’d recast with Cynthia Watros instead of Haiduk, I’d be more open to it. But doubtful. I’m not fond of recasting in general and so many of my faves were ruined by recasts: Billie, Eve, Belle, Ashley Benson’s Abby. It’s how soaps work but it’s just unfortunate. 

 

I love Matt Ashford but I don’t view him as a recast because I never saw the first two. 

 

Recasts I loved were Austin Peck, Farah Fath, Judi Evans as Bonnie Maureen Lockhart, Lauren Koslow, Heather Lindell, and Robert Kelker-Kelly.

Watros would be even better! lol I'm so mad she may make me like nothing Nina on GH.

 

I understand about recasts. I typically prefer the original in the role as well but it also depends on if I "started" with a recast or not, too.

    • In regards to the Reva vs Erica discussions... I think there was one main difference between the two characters.... Erica never took over/ate up airtime on All My Children.  While she was a larger than life character, she never took over the show and there were times she was even supporting and not the lead.... while Reva basically suffocated Guiding Light in the later years with her presence.
    • That was such a missed opportunity, especially with May sweeps.  And, it would’ve been a much better story for Naomi/Jacob than whatever’s going on with June 
    • https://www.hulu.com/hub/tv/collections/9979 Amazed! But loving it. What this shows is GH Hulu out of top 15, GH is #2 & this was Saturday. Are we happy campers? Yes, at least for the moment, you bet we are.
    • I forget his name but Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth had the EP on after they didn't understand the 60s flashback episode due to the lack of original music. He felt that was one of his strongest episodes so he came on to explain to them just how much the music changes hurt the series. Basically, they only allowed him to pick a selection of episodes he felt the music was vital and other than that they didn't bother to save the music.  They kept music for prom and things like the Color Me Badd episode and for most of the musical acts but any music you loved from the opening of the show or just music played in random scenes was cut.  I know there are also some scenes cut but I don't know too much about that. The most glaring one was Clare's final scene being cut which is obviously a huge problem for a character who'd been around for so long. Overall I was able to enjoy my rewatch using the DVDs but without all of the original music it isn't nearly as good a show.
    • Too many returns, that's when you know a show has run out of ideas and doesn't care anymore.  Zoe annoyed the sh!t out of me most times, but the Kat/Zoe storyline will always be iconic and close to my heart (that's the era I first started following the show in near real-time), and probably the only storyline in 21st century EastEnders that had long-term value for the characters involved during their initial run together. However, after all this time and the writing choice that Zoe never wants to see Kat again, I think that ship has sailed and I don't know that it makes sense to revisit it at this point. 
    • Former EastEnders star Michelle Ryan is reprising her role as Zoe Slater on the BBC soap following an absence of over 20 years.  It’s been reported that Zoe will return to Albert Square later this year and that she’ll take centre stage in a dramatic new storyline involving her family.  The news comes amidst news of other big returns, which include Max Branning (Jake Wood), Tanya Cross (Jo Joyner), Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) and Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden), who will also be back in Walford later in the year.
    • I actually love the new fashion.
    • Admittedly, I was a latecomer to ATWT (first becoming a regular viewer in 2000). But I really liked KMH's Emily. I thought she was a very specific kind of neurotic professional character, and I loved her prickly relationship with MM's Susan. I will say I don't think the show did her any favors after Hal died, stranding her in storylines with several of the show's dullest characters: nu-Paul, nu-Meg, and nu-Dusty. I actually quite liked one of her last major storylines, when she discovered she had a grown-up biological son with Larry named Hunter. But then Hunter just sort of disappeared, and the story fizzled out, which was pretty typical of the late Goutman years. 
    • I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.
    • Well, her staff pointing out the movie connection never seemed to stop Long from using those plots.  She was right about Vanessa--she needed a man who loved her, which she'd never really had up to then. But as others have pointed out, Long borrowed heavily from Taming of the Shrew to get it done. (which while I kinda disputed that, I get more now, having watched Kiss Me Kate a few times since.)
