Many long-running tentpole characters never got such a protracted send-off. (Granted, you can’t plan for the death of a character when a real-life actor dies unexpectedly, but this has been one of the most drawn-out deaths I’ve seen in recent years.)

Monica could die next week and wouldn't get this kind of send-off.

 

However, the funeral itself fell flat to me. Max Gail was never really Mike to me. He seems like a lovely guy and you can tell the cast adored him but he just wasn't Mike. And having Ava and Brando speak? Granted, I'm not a huge Kristina fan but she had maybe one or two lines to greet Sonny while Josslyn got a solo?

lol exactly. The focus on this show remains blatantly off.

 

I feel like Dan and Chris could do a decent job. But between Frank's pets and poor direction, etc. .... not to mention the many couples without an ounce of chemistry ...

 

I liked Max Gail as Mike but I do prefer Ron Hale's version (I also think that's partly why I just didn't care as much, even though Gail did so good; the other part was it involved Sonny and I've haven't remotely given a [!@#$%^&*] about him since Labine). I think Gail did a great job and the cast clearly adored him. But for me Ron Hale was Mike. I wasn't as connected to this as I could have been or wanted to be.

 

And you nailed it. Monica could die tomorrow and wouldn't get this type of send-off. Frank and the team would have it be all about Carly and Sonny and how it affects them that Jason lost his mother. And then it would be about Josslyn and how she keeps suffering losses, and how she and Monica had this amazing off-screen relationship. Just because. LOL. Frank, you hiring?

 

Sidenote, I will say it was refreshing to see Monica out of the Quartermaine house and talking with Brook Lynn. Amanda Setton has a certain fire and charisma to her, but man Briana Lane has done a really good job in the role. If Setton ever got a better offer I wouldn't mind Lane in the role permanently.

 

 

lol right?

 

Like I said above, the focus on this show remains [!@#$%^&*]

 

I often feel like I'm watching two different shows. One day it feels like it resembles General Hospital. The next day it feels like the focus is entirely all wrong and all the wrong people are being featured and focused on. We also have way way way too many castmembers. I love a large canvas but only if you can better balance it. I shouldn't forget half the cast is in an episode until they suddenly pop back up for their 2 second scene ...

 

I also wish the show would stop teasing me with bringing Peter down. We all know Laura Wright's man and Frank's pet aren't going anywhere.

 

And you know a character like Anna is damaged when I'm rooting for Obrecht to take her down ...

I wonder lol will Frank finally stand up to Mo or just cower like he always does

 

Dustin's grown on me. I wouldn't mind him going psycho just as long as they find a way to keep him on the show.  I thought he was great on OLTL when Brody had PTSD. I just hope we don't get a scene of Sonny putting on his tough guy act towards Dustin in order to get him out of Lulu's life.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Aback · Posted

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
