Charity Rahmer's best work was hitting on John.  I always wonder if that was her 'master acting' or she just literally had no idea it was her onscreen dad.  I wish her work was still available on you tube.

No, Jack and Gwen were weird.  If I tuned into the show for the first time today and you told me Gwen and Jack were a pairing I would believe you.

It worries me because it’s feeling like Port Charles where they went on hiatus not knowing if theyd get renewed or not and as a result it ended on a cliffhanger. It’s so odd we know nothing. We don’t know if the show has a contingency plan or anything. All Ryan Qwan had to offer on Instagram was that he’s keeping his fingers crossed. This is so odd.

That's how I feel too. It's uneasy that there's been ZERO information. On the one hand, the show has invested in new sets - why would they ever bother to do that? On the other hand, is this why Sweeney agreed to return because she knew it was a finite period of time to give the show closure?

It seems weird they would recast EJ too if the show was ending.

 

Ben is such a creep.  I am seriously uncomfortable with his treatment of Ciara.  And I was fairly okay with Cin before.  Like calm down Ben!  Your wife is alive!  She may not remember you but she's not dead so that's still a win.  I am okay with them playing him as slightly psycho because he is, but should I be invested in this love story lol

The problem is that they are NOT playing this as him having remnants of his psychological problems and control issues with women.
That would actually be interesting in a "Can someone be truly reformed" kind of way - like they once did with Janet on AMC where she was genuinely becoming a better person but her psychological health had shaky moments. That's where his weird friendship with Marlena could play in because she is a psychologist and could work this out with him while worrying he might still be dangerous if it gets worse and worry if she could warn Ciara or Hope or whoever. Dilemna! Conflict! Character layers! Grey shadings! That could work.

But that's not what they seem to be going for. For them this is supposed to be a man desperately in love longing for his Juliet or something and we are supposed to be frustrated along with him that it is one more obstacle for our star-crossed lovers

Well: no.

It seem like the writers are taking the easy way out. Instead of going for that in depth character study, they're just going for all the melodramatic stuff designed to make Ben look like the hero again.

 

The one saving grace of all this is that Theo hasn't been ruined as a character.

I just don't understand why we should be on Ben's side.   And it's not as if Ben has waited months and months for Ciara to get her memory back.  I think she's been awake for 2 or 3 days Salem time.  His whole reform 'arc' has always been shaky at best, but now he is being an aggressive weirdo to his wife.   We've seen John/Marlena and Kayla/Steve do some pretty intense stuff during their respective amnesia stories, but it never seemed as creepy I guess.  This is actually where Hope's absence is glaring.  Ciara needs someone besides Theo on her side.  

 

Well, at least Lumi continue to entertain with their banter and stupid plots that will never work.  I have to laugh that the best these two legendary schemers could come up with is for Lucas to have sex with Chloe.  So dumb lol.

    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
