Cool twist with Gwen/Abby.  I actually love Marci Miller and preferred her more classic long-suffering soap heroine Abby, but after Kate Mansi came back, I concede she's definitely the definitive Abby.  For like a million reasons, too.  But I am glad Abby is back; I think she's really needed on canvas.  MM was really good today, but this is kinda whip lashy . . . MM and KM really do bring such different energies to the character, and while MM excels at some things KM doesn't, KM really is such a dynamic performer . . . KM's Abby is unpredictable and scattered and really, really alive . . . MM just doesn't bring those qualities to the role, so this subdued, measured Abby is gonna take some getting used to again.  I did think she and Billy Flynn had great chemistry today, and it was fun to see how genuinely happy she and Missy were to see each other.  Also looking forward to seeing her more with Matt Ashford and, of course, Brandon Barash.

 

And on the subject of recasts, NuClaire is a let down, but she wasn't terrible today.  I feel like she's coming into her own, but I keep feeling like I'm watching one of those disappointing recasts that "Passions" became infamous for hiring.  lol.  I liked the cliffhanger with her and Tripp.  It's a shame this isn't with ORK.

 

I also liked the directing today.  Nothing super interesting, but it felt like we had a lot of wide angles and environment.  All around super strong episode.

Emily O Brien and Brandon Barash clearly have a lot of fun acting together; you can tell that they're each doing a bit of improv to keep the other on their toes, and it totally works.

 

Speaking of surprisingly great couples, I also loved Paul Telfer and Linsey Godfrey's scenes today, where they managed to spice up what would have been a pretty boring scene on paper (e.g. Xander broods about having to run Titan with Phillip). Although I wonder how they're going to film scenes like that now with social distancing rules in place.

PT and LG are definitely leading man/woman material. They're fun together and I can't wait to see if Phillip stirs up any trouble for them.

 

As for social distancing, they've gone on the record in saying that there aren't going to be any blowup dolls lol hopefully they'll do what GH has been doing. I know a lot of people say that the actors are sitting or standing too close together but GH is clearly doing something right.

    • I understand what Lois did. I can see everyone's side, even if I don't agree with them.  That  proves it's a good story    Lois is far from ruined
    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
    • The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. She had a bit of moral fiber. Her treatment on the show is not atypical though, as most characters will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.
    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
    • Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline 
    • Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.
