So agree with you about those scenes. That was Genie’s best work in forever — just amazing — and you’re right about Marcus C playing opposite her. His eyes alone gave Genie so much more to work with.

 

One more thing: I could look at Marcus C all damn day. Nik has never been this hot.

That was my thought. Dev has feelings for Cameron. Remember Cam's reactions when the whole "is Aiden gay?" thing came up ... I know they keep saying Cam's into Joss but ...

 

Meanwhile, Genie Francis just showed everyone a masterclass in acting. Lord I just love her. She was marvelous Monday and Tuesday. Laura ripping into Nikolas, the range of emotions ... her relationship with Ava ... I just love it all. Ava knew Laura was right ... I love MW and GF together. Dan O'Connor seems to love these ladies and I'm so grateful. Pissy and Altman didn't.

 

I wanted to vomit when the music started as Valentin said goodbye to Charlotte. Lord. Spare me the tortured soul crap with Valentin. He can still love his daughter but they really go overboard adding in the schmaltz.

 

God. Jordan is just awful. No reactions. Dead eyes. I'm having fun pretending her non reactions are because she's secretly on the villains payroll. At least Emme Rylan tried.

 

And why the [!@#$%^&*] did they involve Sonny and Carly again? I think it's clear the new writer doesn't want them together, IMO. Since we're stuck with Laura Wright's Valley Girl Carly, we might as well put her with the one guy on the canvas she has chemistry with: Ingo (however, I also thought she had some chemistry with Sean Kanan). But they seem to be pairing Jax/Nina.

 

The show has a looooong way to go, but at least O'Connor wants to write a soap opera and not some weird Hallmark movie like Altman. Look at how much has already happened in his few months ... Nikolas, Brook Lynn, Lucas's accident, Carly/Sonny on the verge of collapse, Sam/Jason forced apart because of their criminal pasts, Nina and Ava getting much better writing (they could only go up) and purpose ... I see him trying to make things more interesting and shake things up. Now let's see how Frank and Varni [!@#$%^&*] it all up.

Agreed. Genie has been amazing. And Coloma is the perfect Nikolas, IMO. That sweet spot between Stephen Martines and Tyler Christopher.

 

Jane is marvelous. I'm happy for her that she semi-retired but I miss Tracy and Jane. Her brief return (did I miss her leaving??) really added a lot to the show. Her presence is very very missed. I really never thought she'd visit until "the end" so I'm thrilled she came back and I hope it leads to some more pop-ins. Jane seems like the type to retire but then not really want to stop working altogether.

I think they're finally starting to realize that there were a lot of mistakes made in 2019, especially when it came to the writing. I guess Shelly was the deadweight after all. Things are finally happening, and I'm glad. 

 

Dev being gay would actually be a great character driven story. They could play into the idea that Dev always had to hide his true feelings because of where he came from, and now he's finally free to be himself. Cam could definitely be bi and still have feelings for Joss, which would be a clever and new spin on the teen love triangle that all soaps do.

 

I always believed Cam was originally meant to be a more villainous character, judging by his reaction to Aiden, but they changed those plans when they realized how good William Lipton was. But now they can just write it in that he was trying to tell himself that he wasn't gay or bi. 

 

Laura/GF is always great. She's the heart of the show. As for Ava, I like her more now then I ever have. I've always felt the same way about Ava and Sonny. I don't dislike them, but their arrogance would sometimes drive me crazy. The writing for Ava hit a rough patch with that psychic crap, but she's being written much better now, much tougher. She has her drive and strength back. I just hope she doesn't become nothing more than Nikolas' cheerleader when she and him inevitably fall in love for real.

 

As for Nikolas, I still can't get over the fact that Marcus Coloma is 41 lol he looks so young

 

Valentin's b.s musical montage and including Sonny and Carly into Nikolas' story seems more like interference from Frank and Nathan then anything else. Luckily, they have writers who seem to know what they're doing now. And since Mo hasn't complained on Twitter yet, maybe they won't mess it up as much as they could.

Cam could definitely be bi. I think it would set up a potential interesting triangle between Josslyn/Cam/Dev/Trina. Josslyn into Dev who's into Cam who's into Josslyn (and maybe Dev). I also feel like they're trying to hint at possibly Cam/Trina, so who knows?

I will give them credit.  These last few days have been good soap.

 

I especially liked Anna being the one to talk Valentine into giving Charlotte to her mother.  I may not love his character, but it was a great usage of their shared history and prior interactions.

 

They really gave Genie something to sink her teeth into.  She was great.  I hope they continue to give Laura and Ava scenes together!

 

But-  a music montage is not good when you don’t spend the money on a real song.

 

I know everyone seems to like the new Nikolas, but he has a stilted way of talking at times that I hope settles down.  He also really chewed some scenery almost Sonny style (or Tyler style).  He’s a pretty good actor, and he is attractive, I hope he can calm down a bit more and settle in.


I hope this show would tell a real teen gay story with Dev, but I doubt those in charge.

 

Still, pretty good run of stories and performances these last couple of days!

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
