5/10

 

Awwww at Ned and Brooklyn and the guitar. It made me think of old school Ned/Brooklyn which was a nice touch of continuity. 

 

Ugh. Did Peter just off this woman to put an imposter in her place. So really for him to leave. Along with that 'evil genius' voice. He is clearly trolling.

 

Continuing to swoon at Britt/Jason.

Cyrus went from potentially being interesting, especially tied to Laura, but lord he's so pathetic. What a waste. Just dump his ass. Sidenote, I'm also tired of Martin's Colonel Sanders schtick. Sorry MEK, but it's becoming grating (IMHO).

 

And Peter will never leave us. LMAO. I fear we will never be rid of that cockroach.

 

I'm very much struggling to stay caught up.

Now...WHAT was THAT?

 

If I thought they would do something with race relations...and I thought the scene with Cameron with a gun on Jordan was kinda triggering given what has been going on in the world...I wouldn't have minded it. And I admit to liking that they followed up on Jordan's feelings about that scene...but THIS was just clumsy writing. And they said those lines with a straight face.

 

However, the scene with Cameron and Trina came across better. 

 

The idea was there. And there's potential in exploring race relations...soaps used to be good at touching on contemporary themes. But...this was a no. UNLESS they do something with it.

And as warned by @Faulkner The Dante shave. I will miss Caveman Dante BUT so happy you did not say how the reveal came down. THANK YOU.

I don't think it necessarily says anything other than the tone of those shows is different.
Days and GH have been "adventure/crime" based for decades. B&B and Y&R never featured much of that kind of story and I for one am glad they kept a distinctive voice.
Now, GH is TOO enamored of that plot device (the umbrella villain of the year story as I like to call it) while Y&R could use a strong antagonist instead of letting Victor Newman eat up everything and win every time but that's another story.

Y&R has never in my years of viewing been this bereft of villains. Sometimes they’ve gone too far actually, like in the early 2010s, when it was just psychos crawling out of the woodwork. Usually they have someone mixing it up, whether it’s Sheila, early Phyllis, early Michael Baldwin, Mary Jo Mason, Matt Clark, Veronica, Tricia, Isabella, early Kevin, David Chow, the list goes on…

 

(Not to take over the GH thread, but you know what I mean… not asking for an avalanche of villainy. Just one or two would do.)

    • Laugh-In was also before my time, but I loved watching her when Nick at Nite and TV Land ran repeats. She was also on Sesame Street for years. So vibrant. One of those people I've never heard bad word of. Sorry to hear that.
    • Amazing resource. Thank you! I'm pretty confident that she's worn it before. I'll look into it. That or I'm having some serious deja vu. 
    • Other than Soapnet I am trying to remember if I ever even saw it in syndication. I know I saw Dallas, Knots and Dynasty in syndication before Soapnet.
    • Dani's dress  https://wornontv.net/511259/ Brand page: https://onalaja.com/en-us/products/zusi-maxim-dress about the company: https://onalaja.com/en-us/pages/brand-story I don't think she has worn it before, this is her wardrobe so far: https://wornontv.net/beyond-the-gates/dani-dupree/
    • The preemptions helped me catch up. Watched the last two episodes today. Obviously fantastic stuff. Martin's acting was really great when he was confronting Ted. He's finally clickin. The look on Naomi and Chelsea's faces when Silk Press talked about Bill... but was she telling the truth? This does explain what I always wondered which is why Silk Press didn't just sue for child support. Hayley all scandalized that Ted had an affair like she isn't a ho. Vanessa all scandalized that Ted had an affair like she isn't a ho, and Doug being like "ummm... ?" but Vanessa having kind of a point, and this setting up a good dynamic that Doug isn't that cool with the arrangement (and, the B&B of it all, with the A storyline going and the B characters sitting around talking about it). That guy popping up to say "that much is true!" about Eva being locked in the closet. Nicole's understated acting and Eva's emotion. Ted not being able to handle Eva at the moment, but you get the sense he's not closed off to her completely. Andre and Eva's unexpected bonding was nice. The point made to Dani that she shouldn't be upset because Ted technically did what she wanted from Bill which was to recommit himself to the family after the affair.  
    • Also, where has Dani worn this dress before? I recognize it, because the first time she had it on I was like why is my girl wearing party streamers. Then when I saw it yesterday, I was a little surprised that they were having Dani who pulls out 4 episodes in a single episode repeat a outfit so soon.

    • Claybon was okay. He has slightly improved, but he still needs more improvement.
    • I'd forgotten Milli and Ponzini were at AW. Ponzini would definitely qualify as a big success in his move over.  I do wonder how that came across, especially early on. Just from reading the story details it seems a bit like there wasn't much of a background for Pat beyond setting up the story with Tony and their secret child. But Jacqueline is such a strong presence, and the audience clearly embraced her. A shame AW never tried the second time around.
    • I do think Claybon has improved, but I still don't think he's anywhere near good. It may be his tone, which makes things come across as if he's narrating rather than dialoguing. I didn't even think his scene with Ted was very good although some seemed to disagree.  As for Maurice, I can only speak for myself. I mentioned Maurice as one of the weak actors along with the actors that play Chelsea, Naomi, and Martin from day one. That for me hasn't changed. I warmed to Maurice, because I thought he was improving in the good dad/husband stuff he was doing. I still don't want the actor to be replaced, which I have mentioned before as well. However, today confirmed what I said all those weeks ago that he's not the most skilled actors on the cast. He really struggled to get the emotion in those scenes today.
