Varni is awful. I don't think Frank is much better ... but the shift is apparent. Still a very long way to go though.

 

If you aren't watching and have your mind made up then

 I've never said it was good. I some changes and subtle improvements I like that you can only see if you watch every day. I mean, it's not a fluke when you have several of us noticing. The problem is the show has been pure [!@#$%^&*] for years so any little difference is an improvement  

 

Do you not see most of us still bitching about Frank and Varni and me saying flat out they're still an issue? lol. I have said pets still exist. Franco has aired once this month, though. Just saying.

 

The show could easily go back to unwatchable garbage. I take what I get at this point. We're never going back to what the soaps really should be. I mean, I could write an essay on what's wrong with this show. But I'll take the little differences right now. It helped this week was Tracy and Brook Lynn heavy.

If it's like the one I saw online for yesterday's Y&R a day early, it is probably intentional to keep it up. But what happened? A preemption?

 

Meanwhile, GH YouTube channel also have some clips up as well. I can't believe how big Spencer has grown since I was a regular viewer.

IKR!!!  I might have seen him maybe once since I stopped watching regularly and he was a little bit taller and had his glasses, but still looked the same. 

 

So....wow.  I admit it is nice to see a show let a kid grow up onscreen a la Robin/Jessica/Maxie1.

Sadly, a lot of soap Twitter is calling for him to be recast because he's not tall enough or good looking enough or whatever to fit in with Josslyn, Cameron and Trina. I understand why they want him to be their age and have a quad. But why can't we just appreciate Nicolas for his acting ability and for having grown up with him and be patient and realize he will grow into his features within the next year or so? I just feel bad for him. Puberty is rough for anyone, let alone an almost 15 year old who I'm sure wishes he was taller etc. by now. That doesn't mean he should be recast. If he was also a bad actor, I might understand it, but he's not. He brought more emotion in the reunion scenes than Marcus as Nikolas. I do agree that the "precociousness" of the character is now gone a bit and they probably need to decide what they want Spencer's personality as a teen to be if they want him on full-time but none of that is Nicolas's fault.

EXACTLY!!! From reading recaps, it appears Spencer is brought back when needed, using have some presence in storyline. And then he leaves again. So I don't mind that for a while, allowing for the character to grow.

 

In fact, the reunion might be a great reset for what they want his personality to be. I don't know if he kept up the self absorbed rich kid with a heart when I stopped watching, but perhaps the fact that Nikolas kept himself 'dead' for three years might make him be a bit of a introvert, trying to put out the image of what a good prince...one who does not need to fake his death to get things done...should be. Even be a bit brainy. Maybe...?

    • Above, I said "Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her." Now adding onto that thought, I would clarify that sometimes I think Vanessa fools around for fun in a positive way.    But other times I sense that she's actually unconsciously trying to demean herself as way of numbing some inner pain -- it's hard to explain what I mean.  Sort of like... sometimes people drink for fun. But other times, people drink  in a self-destructive way, in order to drown out some inner pain. So I think she needs therapy about all of that.
    • A lot of these episodes are available on YT. The rape storyline starts around February or March of 1979 and Roger's demise is sometime in March 1980. The stuff from before 1979 is close to non exisitent, unfortunately.
    • Maeve Kinkead was on from 1980-1988 (left in January); 1989-2000 (went recurring 1996-97); 2002 -For Josh /Reva's Wedding; 2005 (appearances in May and December) back regularly from Feb 2006-end Maureen Garrett was on from 1976-80; 1988-2006 (recurring from 2003 on); 2009 Michael Zaslow was on/off from 1971-1980 with breaks in between but usually made an appearance every year then again 1989-1997. There is a youtube commercial  Guiding Light in 1968

    • Holly's final big story was the Sebastian mess in late 2004.   Vanessa and Matt were promoted to regulars near the end and were heavily recurring prior to that starting around 2007/2008.
    • Keith has a softer presence, but it would have helped to see him be more aggressive or proactive in protecting them instead of standing around like a mannequin. A man the audience should be hoping and wishing gets back together with his wife. Nicole needs a new husband!
    • She needs to learn to be honest with her husband about her lusty interests because being sex positive only works if you're not cheating on your spouse.

    • Very disappointed in the writers in the way they are screwing with Nicole, Ted,  and Kat to make Leslie remain viable. So many holes everywhere.
    • Somebody brought this up elsewhere which emphasizes why this NuTed appears as such a weakling. Why is Kat doing what HE should be doing? And that's everything he can to rid him and his family of this crazy woman. Kat is doing all kinds of things she shouldn't do but now I understand her more. She can't count on her father to eliminate this woman because he's a wimp. He's been too busy inviting her into his home and serving her drinks and offering her invitations to birthday parties. WIMP!!!!
