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.

    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
