Yeah that was kinda stupid lol

 

In real life, I bet Lucas Adams is talented enough to be in a Step Up movie or something lol

Idk maybe I'm wrong but I would never talk to my parents, aunts, etc. about my sex life and there's no way in hell I would want them to talk to me about theirs

lol Austin Reed "super accountant/teacher". I could never see Peck's Austin being an accountant OR teacher. LOL. It's hard to remember but Muldoon's Austin had a personality (and lots of man tears). He boxed, played piano ... I did enjoy Peck's Austin in his returns (2017/2019) as more of an overgrown fratboy with some sarcasm. That worked. LOL. 

 

And yeah, like I said, Carrie never seemed interested in really anything. I did like her with Hope, Billie, etc. at Titan in the 90s, but Carrie really never had a career path. Shame. I buy her as a lawyer now. I could have seen her becoming a lawyer to take down ruthless companies or something. It's plausible. But I wanted more for her I guess. I still want Christie to settle down and be on the show as Carrie permanently. LOL. Now is a good time.

I always remember LR's Billie singing while PM's Austin played the piano as basically her entrance and it was weirdly incestuous lol.  I wonder is Austin still plays the piano.

Remember when Carrie was like the HR director of the hospital and botched everything horribly by sleeping with Mike?  Carrie has had a ton of careers too.   CC does fine playing a lawyer, but I guess Austin/Carrie spent their entire time off screen going to school lol.

I love CC and miss Carrie so much.  I would absolutely welcome her and Austin back.

Ah I almost did forget about hospital HR. I liked her in that spot. I liked Jennifer there too (as much as I prefer her at the Spectator). Even though both were mostly plot points to pair them with Mike and Daniel, respectively. But it worked. She's had a lot of careers so I guess that's pretty relatable LOL. At least she settled on something lol. 

 

I'm patiently waiting for Carrie's return. Sigh. It feels like Ron likes writing for her and wants to. Shame too as other regimes didn't, hence her moving out of the country, etc and often being unavailable.

I definitely bought the HR stuff at the time, but now I have no idea how she qualified for that position. 

Carrie, Belle, and Sami have always come off very intelligent as far as book smarts.  Eric is a little more hit or miss and Brady seems very dumb.  

Jen at the hospital worked too.  Again, not sure how she was qualified and I agree about the Spectator, but it works best with Jack.

Carrie has always been my favorite out of the 3 Marlena "daughters".  I hope she is able to come back someday.

It worked but it also was pretty obvious he was just doing ATWT's Brad for which he had gotten SO much better reviews than in his bland-and-stupid first run as Austin.
I think HIS second run worked better than Muldoon's, even if neither resembled either their own first version of Austin or the vague version we had in mind.

Well that's probably a good thing in Austin Peck's case.  Because the defining characteristics I have of Austin from his first run is: stupid and looks good shirtless.   At least he was trying his hand at acting the second run(s).  Plus, he aged better than Muldoon.

So awkward. I would never want to know if someone had sex with one of my parents. Nor would I ever tell my niece if I had sex with her dad, lol. I do appreciate that DAYS uses their older cast and lets two 70+ year old men have scenes where they talk about sex.

 

I hate seeing people do CPR on TV shows. Gwen's CPR was one of the worst I've ever seen on soaps. No wonder Snyder died. I cracked up at Julie seeing a dead body on her couch and just being like, "What the hell is THAT?" I also laughed at Gwen and Xander watching cartoons.

 

Allie looked super cute in that purple dress today. I was blown away by how good Tripp's dancing was. Maybe Allie can have an open relationship with Tripp and also be with Chanel or they can be a "throuple" or something. I'm here for it.

It would have made more soapy sense to make Lani creeped out more and against the relationship if they felt the needed to tell, but she was immediately fine with it.  So it was just a weird thing to bring up.

 

I liked Gwen and Xander today, not going to lie.

 

Allie has looked cute two days in a row.  I am so happy she's losing the frumpy accessories.  I thought Tripp/Allie/Chanel were cute.   Tripp is obviously the weakest link in the throuple, but I still thought he was cute and dorky today.

Yeah when I saw the preview yesterday I assumed the inappropriateness of Paulina saying that was going to be a plot point - either to establish Paulina as having some of kind of motive to float that or create conflict with Lani - but it turns out it was just a weird writing choice.
 


Yes. It is unfortunate that there seems to be a lot of BTS drama out of his ATWT run that marred the memory of it because his Brad vs his original Austin is one of the largest gap in acting ability/on-screen charisma for the same actor in two different soap roles in almost ever.

To be fair, he did get slightly better towards the end of his first run with the Sami wedding stuff and his interactions with Nicole.  And AP was one of the greenest, most wooden actors on the planet, but JER didn't actually give him anymore to do than be the hot mannequin Sami and Carrie fought over.   Then he got to hang out shirtless with Greta in a Virtual Garden of Eden.  No one could make that work lol.  His best moment was running Sami over twice with his car.  HILARIOUS!

That's when I think the show just gave up on him and figured if his physique is all he has to offer, then let's go full hit on it. It was too bad though because I love JM and Greta.

But I think this was the moment where he actually might have started to make an effort at getting better because for someone who wants to act, good at it or not, this may have been humiliating.

Really wish we had people who know the history of soaps that could get them to do real probing interviews where someone like AP delves deep. I'd actually be interested if he felt comfortable being honest about his journey (and what happened at ATWT, etc.).

    • Yes, Stacy does this both for early DAYS & early GH. I have written some for her, for DAYS.
    • Hahahha I think sleeping with almost all of your daughters's boyfriends and husbands and getting pregnant... definitely gives Brooke the right to top 1 place. Long live the whore of Beverly hills.

    • CurlyQGrl has DVDs of some episodes, that they can sell, but that doesn't matter. What is helpful: they describe the scenes on the tapes, so you can read that as recaps without ordering anything. Doesn't really give storylines, though, which is what you asked for.  Here's the links anyhow. full menu https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/menu.html GH page https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/menu.html GH 1960s https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/eps/gheps1960s.htm
    • I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons. 
    • I'm excited for us to get back to a full weeks worth of episodes and also us beginning to move into the episodes filmed once the show premiered. We're already starting to see changes in the lighting and the way certain characters are styled. Of course we know this week we have our first recast as well. After the big Eva reveal, I hope the show continues to move into a positive direction and that we see them starting to fix some of the things we've all had issues with.
    • It seems like they may have been going in one direction for Andre and then changed their mind. He had this player/bachelor thing going at first where he was messing with Dani, seemed to be feeling Eva, and then somehow smitten by bland Ashley of all people. I feel like Ashley was supposed to be the one that finally made him want to be with someone and settle. The way he talked her up in those earlier episodes was really confusing. The wonderful, amazing nurse Ashley and conveniently she's unattainable because she has a partner, but he can't stop thinking of her and takes these busted pics of her. It was a mess. However, it all seems to have been dropped. I honestly feel like Andre can go. That may be an unpopular opinion but I don't need his breathy final syllable to be content with BTG. It's always like "There's gotta be another wh-ahyy"
    • This is where McLaibey falls apart. It becomes clear that McTavish had not thought past Brent/Marion...so the energy drops and she starts throwing things at the wall (Blakes twins, Lonatrat.)   Fans HATED this funeral. Everyone is mad at everyone else, which is fine, the death of a beloved community figure would give people a reason to come together...(Quint and Nola could come together at least for  a bit to support each other, Nola and VAn could finally admit they kinda, sorta like each other) Its just an example of McTavish's mean writing.   I have a feeling they were going to make Dahlia Frank's kid but they chickened out. Making Tina a prostitute didn't help, they could have been lovers when they were young but felt society pressure to part. Marcus took over David's role (you can't have two young black men at that time...)   Get used to it...this will happen, the same storyline over and over until the end.
    • Does anyone happen to have a recording or any footage of Jennifer’s funeral?
    • It's such a shame that the conflict couldn't be resolved in a mature way between the two actors.. especially since Albee was a bigger asset for the show in terms of character and his popular will they/won't they pairing with Deborah Saxon. One of the things about Edge was that it was just as popular with male viewers as it was with women.  It's one of things I think the show forgot in the final year or two with the deemphasis on the male characters.
