Yep, the time jump was the just the last scene....Monday we'll start getting a better idea of where this is going. I'm sort of intrigued for the first time in a long time, so we'll see how it goes. I actually think a 5 year jump (like Desperate Housewives) would have been interesting. Wrap up all stories, ends with a few cliffhangers, and then jump...really reboot the show as if starting from the beginning.

Wow, what has happened to Matt Ashford's acting skills?  His acting at Jennifer's bedside today was awful.  He was stuttering and stammering, and using what almost sounded like a child's voice.  His reaction to Jennifer's waking-up was just not not convincing.  Not genuine.  I have always thought he was a terrific actor, but today's performance has me questioning that.   Maybe he's been out of the business too long.

Well, I just hope that the time jump gives us a break from Loons of Our Lives, the show we've actually been watching for the last two months.  I realized the other day that nearly all the story we've seen since September has been generated by one crazy person after another - no, actually multiple crazy people at the same time and overlapping: Kristen, Vivian, Dr. Shah, Dr. Rolf, Jordan, Princess Gina, Claire... (I feel like I'm forgetting someone, but maybe not). I think it must be some kind of record for the number of contemporaneous nutjobs on any soap during a 2-month period, but it's just incredibly lazy writing.

Well, it IS a pretty nasty-looking toupee.

 

 

TPTB (not just at DAYS, but at all the remaining shows) believe "normal" characters bore the audience.  Ergo, the more lunatics on the canvas, the better.

      Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.

      The Pilot Thread

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.

      Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.

      Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

      I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.
