Yep. If they had brought on RH as Austin from the beginning (10 years ago or whatever), that would've been fine. But now that we're on RH's third character, it's too much. It's too late to try to make RH viable at this point. They want him to be a Quartermaine and to be relevant so badly. The reveal that he's a Holt was zzzz.

Maxie and Brooklyn are shouting about the baby while Valentin and the Q's are all on the other side of the door. Really?

I hope Lenny doesn't die. I like him and Phyllis, lol. "Mike" is getting tiresome though. I'm ready for something to happen with this story. How many times can we see him at the Tan-O thinking about Nina?

Why is Spencer carrying the fake blood-covered boots in his backpack? LOL. Love him and Trina though. I was surprised that he revealed himself already. Looking forward to seeing him with Laura.

Does ELQ not have a boardroom? Why do their meetings take place in the living room?

I really wish if they wanted to bring on this character that they had given the role to anyone else.  Because now I no longer see Todd, or Franco, I just  see Roger Howarth playing another character, with diminishing returns.  I can’t believe how stupid this is.

Yep! The show doesn't actually care about adding to the Q family. If they did, they would've done it before now and cast another actor. There are plenty of soap actors in that age range who could've been good in this role. We all know that they're only adding to the Q's because they wanted an excuse to have Roger on the show and cement him to a core family. Now we get to see RH acting goofy every day again. It's insane.

With the exception of B&B, any time a network soap in the late 2000s/2010s/2020s starts going outside or off-set to ugly or banal-looking areas it's because they're low on cash. I remember ATWT staging a poor fight scene by some dumpsters. The constant 'remotes' on that show, AMC and OLTL near the end all looked pretty poor. Staging stuff in studio stairwells is super obvious too.

Good remotes are well-lit and don't look incongruous (like Pine Valley, California on AMC after the doomed L.A. move) or like you're just using whatever's immediately available despite if it fits the scenes.

I fully agree but I am actually even less charitable than you. B&B may not be low on cash and does have some decent outdoors scenes (the scene itself was stupid but the beach scene with Steffi and Finn was fine visually) but a lot of their outside scenes are pretty clearly the roof of the studio (that "restaurant").

The "big" Austin reveal was so anticlimactic. Everyone in the room looked bored. Nobody cares if RH's third character is related to a past character. And they had to kill off Jimmy Lee to try to make this sh-t work. Yawn!

I want Mike to find out he's Sonny so he can have money again and pay for Lenny's medical bills. Literally I care far more about Lenny than I do about Austin. Lenny's specialist should be someone at GH. Hell, have it be Monica.

Love Spencer rolling his eyes and being snarky at Ava. I like him so far.

Didn't we have the same scene with the Quartermaines when it was implied Frankles was Susan and Alan's son?

 

Well, NuSpencer fit like a glove with Nikolas and Laura, not to mention Ava.  He held his own.

 

Why can't Maxie be talking to Bobbie, Felicia, Britt or even Liesl? 

 

Of course Jimmy Lee is dead

If Steve Bond still looked like this.....

 

Frank would be jumping through hoops...

 

Looking like this

 

He could be re-firing up a rivalry between Lucy and Bobbie as a 3 times a month story...

 

But, like @KMan101 says, we can't have nice things...

Just more of this...

 

I suppose the  world renowned Dr. Monica Quartermaine's years in cardiology didn't make the cut for that Google Search . Perhaps Mike didn't notice the Port Charles location.  Then he and his beloved Nina could have stolen a glance.    Now Anna gets to see him.  (Maybe.) They should cast Marty West or Jeff Branson for the pilot, since it's the brother of Kimberly Brown's character-- there's a wink wink #firefrank will miss out on.

Oh Finn, just confess. Your portrayer doesn't have to worry about job security on this show!

NuSpencer was really loud in his first episode but thankfully that hasn't resurfaced. He's definitely playing Spencer with a lot of secrets. I really like him so far, I think he's a really good fit. I'm eager to see if his acting gets softer/more emotional/quippier once he doesn't have a chip on his shoulder. His towering over his dad was pretty funny to me.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW HELLLLLLLL OOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

That better be a lie!!! Wasted potential if so. And he STILL looks good.

 

Meanwhile...lol.

 

6-5

 

BRAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy to see him and see him and Britt bond. Can't we get him out of jail along with Shawn, too?

 

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW....my eyes at Britt and Jax. I...I can't. I am still recovering from Jason breaking Britt's heart and how great those scenes were and THIS happen.

 

I do love that they finally got back around to reveal the Dev's fake diary page though I do wish he was around for the fallout.

 

NuSpencer is good with me and I already see chemistry with Trina.

 

I love at the start of this episode that Cameron and Jake are having a scene together. But I like Liz and her kids so...

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!  
    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
