Griffith's writing is dull.

 

I like the actor playing Moses so far.  He has an"energy" about him.  

 

I liked the scenes with Sutton Ames.  Amanda having a story that isn't just about a man, but about her family has a lot of potential.  I'm hoping that we start to see her sister and her anger.  The slow introduction of Amanda's family, carefully plotted, shows that the new writer on the team is structuring this. Griffith would have had the story at the finish line by now.

 

Sharon needs a no-nonsense visit from her mother, Doris, to give her an eye-opener about her stupidity.  Griffith neer does Sharon any favors with her stories. Sharon Case deserves better.  I don't care who she's schtupping IRL.  Regressing her character back to his 2013 reboot doesn't work, Josh.

That’s the thing—don’t want to get my hopes up. It might appear to be slowly and carefully told but just end up being a big letdown. And this regime hasn’t earned my trust to believe otherwise. Not yet, at least.
 

I wish that, if there’s a Newman angle, they’d done the legwork to put Amanda back in their orbit. Like it would have more impact if Amanda were working at Newman or something. That would add an extra layer of betrayal and pain on Amanda’s part.

I still wonder how Lily can live with herself knowing that she killed a woman who was loved by her husband and pregnant with his child.  

Her carelessness resulted 2 deaths, yet she still walks around GC with her nose in the air like nothing happened.

    • Aww I was hoping that Zimmerman would still do the breakdown like the last two episodes. But good to see Martin on script.    YASSSSSS DD YASSSSSSSSS!! Selling Nicole. The venom in her inflections.   'We'll see you leave in one piece.' Oooo Anita.
    • Or they'd make her a Dupree for equally valid reasons.
    • 'No...she won't.' Ooooo Silk Press Sheila...get him. And yassss to Anita getting it on. And Martin looks triggered. Flashback incoming...?   Awww Nicole.
    • Should've brought in the Tide Pods then... oh wait, is that too soon?
    • A talented soap opera writing team would accept the challenge of keeping Eva as Ted and Silk Press Dana's daughter... and having her co-exist amongst the classist Duprees.   However, the writing team seems pre-disposed to the easy way out so Eva will end up being Nicole's daughter... when we have far too many Dupree women in that generation and no hetero Dupree men in that generation. I'm tuning in now to watch the episode since I anticipate it being a stellar episode... but I'm hoping that May sweeps will start to move away from the B & B tendency of focusing on only one main tale at a time and also start beefing up the non-Dupree cast members and their stories. It's kind of why I don't mind Derek and Ashley since at least they're not connected to the Duprees... plus I find myself liking Vanessa/Doug also for that same reason.
    • Absolutely! From a technical standpoint, Phelps is a very well-done producer. She knows how to produce a soap from a visual focus. Creatively? Not always.
    • It's tiiiiiiiime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Interesting show. I liked very much the Shawn and Johnny talk, one tortured about shooting his dad, the other not so much (if he did it, which I doubt). Marlena was strangely empathetic to EJ which was a switch, and I liked him offering his Cat date to Chad. I want to see Cat given a personality by the new writers. Ron could not be bothered with her since she was dumped on him by the strike team and was too big a name for him to fire like he did poor BobbyEverett. So we got the awful Fabby story and then 2x a month airings with her acting like a spaz. I actually like the entire Greene family (apart from the mother) and would like to see more of them.   Highlight of the show was seeing Steve and Kayla act like the duo I remember from their heyday. I got a lump in my throat when she thanked him for loving her brother.
    • I know that VW thought it sounded like a good story when it was pitched to her.  I know that by the end of it she thought it was positively awful. I suspect that if we were to try to pinpoint when that changed, we might be pretty accurate. But, agree to disagree about her performance,  which of course, is never a big deal. Specifically, I do not think she phoned anything in. And, I attribute her slight accent from a certain point  on, to COUPLETS not to Justine.
