Some really good acting today, especially in that scene with Sami and Justin, but also (surprisingly) in the Ben-Ciara scenes. And I love that the show is finally writing Nicole as a s***-stirrer again. I was afraid that marriage to Saint Eric had permanently turned her into a Stepford Wife.

Am I the only one who wants Ben to kill Ciara; she totally deserves what he's about to do. I don't think Ron intended for fans to wish Ben finally gets someone who is stupid enough to bring it on.  Bye Ciara. Maybe Paige can teach you how to move your brains from your boobs to your head. LOL. And why does the costume designer dress Ciara like she's Adrienne Barbeau on Maude?

I just like the novel sensation of actually not knowing where this story is headed. Like, normally, you wouldn't break up a hot young couple with a rabid fanbase by having one partner strangle the other to death. But it seems like Ron might actually be willing to go there. 

 

I also like how Ciara, who at this point has spent years defending Ben and downplaying the severity of his actions, was finally genuinely upset when he took her to the murder scene and forced her to realize exactly what he'd done to Paige. I like to think this is the show's way of saying sorry for writing such a glib "redemption" story for Ben.

I'm so glad they brought on ghost Paige to hate on Eve and defend Ben.

I feel like the show just realized that VK has boobs? The cleavage is getting a bit ridiculous I actually thought yesterday's Ben/Ciara scenes were pretty interesting. Ciara finally seemed fearful of Ben. I'm to the point where I'd actually be happy if Ben killed her, but I'm sure that won't happen.

 

Hope and Rafe... pass!

I think the actresses have a lot of say in their wardrobe.  CB and Vk are always dressed on the sexy side even when it doesn't fit the character or situation. Compare that to Kate Mansi or ORK who were always dressed on the  more conservative side.  I definitely think it's more of a personal choice than a creative one with Ciara.

    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!
    • That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.
    • On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

    • Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?
    • I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

    • It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)

    • They could easily be re-created, or even re-shot in different ways, especially if they were re-shooting scenes at some point, as well.
    • The Ted recast really is a shame because now they won't be able to do flashbacks to the best scenes the show has done to date.
    • That would be an AMAZING twist.
