I am not really even much of a Sami fan, but her and Lucas continue to be a bright spot on the show.  I am really enjoying AS's run right now.  She is so much better away from EJ.

 

I like Chanel and Allie too.  The kiss was random and I don't really buy Allie as a huge partier, but I like it when people have actual friendships on the show.

 

Chloe is a total idiot, but I still like her.

 

The Kristen/Susan stuff is super obnoxious.  I hope it ends soon.

Sami and Lucas are just plain fun. I actually laughed out loud when Lucas told Chloe he was going to Antarctica.

 

I wasn't expecting Brady to find out about Kristen/Susan. Thank god. Let's end this mess.

 

I was hoping we'd find out that Allie and Chanel fooled around in London or something but oh well. Hopefully they'll explore Allie and Chanel eventually. That seems more interesting than Allie/Tripp.

I’m not interested in the Allie and Chanel stuff if they’re going the “no labels” route. Tired of soaps pretend they’re progressive while they can’t say the word gay.
 

Labels are important. If Allie and Chanel are into each other, they’re either bi or gay. Period.

I was never much of an EJ/Sami fan.  I always preferred Lumi.  I don't think they have the hottest chemistry, but they play off each other so well.  You know they are meant to be.

 

Allie said her brother was gay and it was fine.  To me, Chanel is bi even if she doesn't want to say it.  The 'no labels' thing doesn't bother me much.  It opens Chanel up to a lot of possibilities even though I doubt the show will go there.  It's clear it was all for shock value, but I didn't hate it.  Again, I have trouble buying Allie as a crazy party girl.  She seems so boring.

Lucas definitely brings out a comedic side to Sami and she works best as a schemer or as comic relief.  She never has worked for me as the tortured heroine.  She's not her mother or her sisters.   I hated the years she was the lead and all the EJ stuff and the baby storylines.  AS/BD really excel at humor and work with each other so easily.  I guess they have been doing it for 25 plus years, but their connection really shows.  It's really obvious when BD does scenes with Sami and Chloe.  He and Nadia have no chemistry.  Why were they ever paired up lol?  Lucas has had some weird pairings-Adrienne, Chloe, Nicole?  Random....

I actually liked that time period. They finally made Sami grow up for the most part. It was nice to see the character change and become full circle over time. 

 

As for Chloe/Lucas, I think they were paired because they were the only two unattached people at that time. Everybody was so invested in Sami/EJ and I'm sure they also really wanted to break Chloe out of that Brady/Philip loop. I never saw them as an endgame pairing though.

Ugh!  I hated all that Sami/Rafe/EJ baby switch stuff.  I felt like Ali/Sami was crying everyday.  I never bought Sami as a true heroine and the show gave her so many kids so quickly.  Idk, it just never felt like the right fit for Sami as a character.  I know a lot of people liked that era though. 

 

Lucas and Chloe were always random for me.  But then again, every time a writing regime changes so does Chloe.  Sometimes she nice, sometimes she's a schemer, sometimes she's a vixen etc.  I don't think anyone has ever had a clear idea what to do with Nadia/Chloe since appox. 2002.  Chloe seems like a generation too young for Lucas, but Adrienne was a generation too old.

So it's starting to look the Allie/Chanel kiss was all for nothing. Just like the Theo/Claire kiss that Charlie walked in on. And now the Xander/Chanel marriage appears to be ending too. If things are going to be rushed through so quickly, what exactly is the point for them?

I think that's more that they had no idea what to do with Lucas, rather than Chloe or Adrienne

Agreed.

 

They could stretch some stuff out for a little more, especially the Xander/Chanel marriage. I feel like the way that they rushed into it, and to then have Chanel scam Paulina so quickly messed up her character a little. They could've spent a little more time building sympathy for her

    • the famous babyswitch. the best babyswitch imo
    • Yes, it has. It was seen in the episodes when Dani broke into the house while Hayley and Bill were on their honeymoon. Dani and a Fairmont Crest security guard were also shown outside the house's entrance. Bill and Hayley were seen in the foyer when they returned. I imagine the set will resurface when there's a need for it.
    • There is some kind of arrangement going on between Justin and Evie, who seems to be caring for Sam. I'm not sure, but she may even be living there with Justin and Phillip. Phillip inviting Evie at least makes a little more sense (if the guest list was limited to women Vanessa liked, it would've only consisted of Trish and Helena. lol)  Maybe it was more common to hang on to performers, back in the day? Instead of immediately kicking them to the curb? Evie hadn't had much to do after Chet was revealed to be her stalker. With Rita, Jackie and Ben gone, there weren't many on the canvas she'd really worked with, other than Ross. They could've pivoted her back to Ross, instead of letting him languish love-less for nearly a year other than goo-goo eyeing Amanda. Nowadays, there might've been a moment written Jordan and Janet, an eye-wink to the audience about them having previously worked together.
    • I 100% agree that Bill and Haley's set would work better as a bedroom. I also think it might have made more sense to give them a penthouse instead of a mansion. Realistically they aren't going to have the room for multiple mansions, even with the larger studios. A more open concept penthouse would've been fine. I also wish more people lived together. The age confusion kinda messes that up but I would at least have Chelsea living with Dani. If Martin were Anita and Vernon's child (as he should be), I'd have these families living together as well. By doing that, the space used for Martin and Smitty's house could be used to build a dining room for the Dupree home and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to throw a couple bedrooms in as needed.
    • CBS primetime was such a mess in the 1990s. 1990/91 fourth consecutive third place finish. 1991/92 to 1993/94 some signs of life but it didn't last.  1994/95 to 1999/2000 another primetime mess era. 1995 the sale to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. The only bright spots were Touched by an Angel becoming a Top 10 show and Everybody Loves Raymond starting to show growth. CBS primetime would have a comeback in 2000 with the premieres of Survivor and CSI and Everybody Loves Raymond becoming a Top 10 show, and the rest is history.
    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.

    • Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.
    • Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.
    • Correction, Chicago Hope 1994/95 was initially Thursday 9 pm, a CBS dead zone and head-to-head w/ Seinfeld. 1994/95 CBS Thursday 10 pm initially was Eye to Eye with Connie Chung. Later in the season CBS did a scheduling shift with Chicago Hope moving to Monday 10 pm, Eye to Eye with Connie Chung moving to Thursday 9 pm, and 48 Hours moving from Wednesday 10 pm to Thursday 10 pm.
