BRILLIANT!  I only watched the first eppy and I didn't want it to end.  It was so good!  

 

Love the Duke and the set up to his romance with Daphne.  His arrogance is a win and rolling up on horseback in all black certainly didn't hurt.  

 

Polly Walker (who should always be on my screen) and Ruth Gemmell are not huge names but they are 2 of the finest actresses in the business.  Superb casting as rivaling ladies of their houses!  I've been a fan of Polly Walker for years and was ecstatic to learn she was cast.  

 

Because it's Shonda, this could very easily [and quickly] go to hell in a hand basket but I really love what I've seen so far.  
 

Not going into great detail because I'm hoping you guys will give it a look.

Also, it’s cool to see Adjoa Andoh (Lady Danbury) in a role she can sink her teeth into. She was so wasted as Martha’s mother on Doctor Who. She hasn’t aged a day since then.

 

Getting strong Eli Pope vibes from Simon’s father in those flashbacks.

Also a big fan of Simon’s sparring partner, played by Martins Imhangbe:

I find it hilarious reading reviews seeking deeper explanations for the show’s anachronistic diversity—when all these costume dramas are highly fantastical.

I have a feeling I will be disgusted by who fathered Marina's unborn child and so will Lady Featherington!  

 

And it was great to see Daphne defend herself instead of being rescued by the Duke.  I'm sure any woman would rather dive head first in her own vomit before marrying Lord Berbrooke.  Dahpne cleaned his clock

    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that charcter. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion.
