I genuinely don't think it was the actress.  LM was fine.  Her story was awful.  She got mixed up in that Connie/Kate stuff with Connie's forgettable son Trey.  That was just an overall bad time for the show (worse than usual).  I think the actress just got the brunt of the blame.  LM wasn't amazing or anything, but I don't think the story did her any favors. 

I like LA though.  I always have.  I just don't know why she still looks 13 when she 30.  LA would have been great on a 90210 or One Tree Hill because she genuinely still looks like she's in high school.

Yeah, it seems the show doesn't like LA/Kristina.  I thought LA was good in the Kiefer/abuse storyline and good with Ethan.  That was 10 years and basically the last time Kristina was relevant, but I don't think LA is incapable of playing heavier material.  It's always been strange to me that Kristina is such a non-entity.

Lindsey Morgan is one of the top stars on The CW so I doubt she would be coming back to any soap anytime soon. 

 

Kristina as a character has so much potential that several regimes refuse to delve into whether or not Lexi Ainsworth is in the role or not. She should've been the face of the DOD cult story instead of the afterthought. We should've saw her trying to take control of her life after being rescued from the cult. Either by becoming the Corinthos answer to "Lucky Santangelo" or decided to become a social worker, businesswoman, or employee at the hospital.

 

I see more of Lexi on Instagram than I have on this show for the past few years.

It is such a bizarre waste of Sonny's only grown daughter.  She really has potential.  We were always told how smart she was, but she works at a bar?  Or did?  I don't know what she does now.  She never gets proper love interests, but we can watch Michael and Willow be bland EVERY DAY. 

I love the Lucky Santangelo idea, but I don't think Lexi is up for that task.  I like her, but if she is hindering story than just recast.  I don't think she has that big of a fanbase.   Idk, I could see Kristina as a lawyer maybe.  She can replace Diane, who I have always found to be super irritating.  I know CH/Diane are popular but I hate her bashing Sonny/Jason's lifestyles while openly profiting from said lifestyles.  I love when people call out Jason/Sonny for their crap, but it should be someone who isn't on their payroll.

I liked today's show. I liked the Sam/Dante scenes and him showing support for her while she tries to figure out if Drew is really alive. I also liked them talking about their children.  I enjoy them together and think this could be a healthy relationship for Sam.

Also, I was glad that Chase finally told Michael/Willow that he knew about their affair. He was understandably angry and I'm glad it's out in the open now. I hope he can move on from her and find happiness and love with someone else. I do think it's something how he kept telling people about Edward's letter, instead of keeping that information mostly to himself, and giving him more of an upper hand.. But that is the good guy trait in him. I think he may actually refuse to give that information to Austin. 

Peter picks right back up where he left and is stirring up trouble. Now he's seen/spoken to Sonny/"Mike" and knows that Nina is aware he's alive and hasn't told anyone. I could see him using that information to blackmail her so she doesn't tell Maxie and others that he's still alive. 

And I like Nurse Chloe. I do think she has a naturalness about her and I like seeing Drew/CM have someone else to interact with besides the guards. I am interested in seeing more of their interaction together & them trying to help each other possibly escape.

Finally getting caught up on the last few days.

This is the teen scene they have been trying to get on this show for Valentini’s entire run.  Spencer and Trina are great, and I like his interactions with Joss and Cam too.

Add me to the chorus of just kill Jax already.

I don’t have the stomach for MB in the same episode as Sonny and Mike.  I just can’t.

Dante is always at his most charming when he is flirting.  It won me over the first time with Lulu back in the day and now he is channeling that smart ass part of his character with Sam.  But I am also so over Sam.  I just don’t care anymore, and it is totally KM’s choices as to why.

The scene with Britt defending Jason and Jax talking about how dangerous he and Sonny are is such a throwback.  This might as well be JFP and Guza (except for all their faults it would be better written and seem less hollow).

I will give it to Frank on one thing- the show does look good, especially since I see the ratings every week and I know the budget crunch these shows are under.  It looks better than it did three years ago when everything had that blue hue everywhere.  Obviously a far cry from the old days but there are times I think it looks better than the last year or so under JFP.

Funny!

I usually love Britt's wardrobe but that outfit was horrible today. She really did look like a nun.

Carly and Jason keep having the same conversation about the wedding and it's so boring. Remember a couple months ago when we had Jason and Britt and it was fresh and interesting?

Wes Ramsey says he's humbled by the positive responses to his return.

What positive responses? Though I will say that Peter seeing Nina was at least surprising. Are things finally happening with this story?

Angry Chase Mildew finally confessed and now Chase can be FREE! Free this man of these two! Let him go on the rebound by banging every woman in town.

Because I am an incorrigible optimist, I will say this: between Drew being alive, Liz/Finn's "guilt", Maxie and the baby secret and now the Nina/Mike thing, there are a lot of directions in which a Peter return can yield good story.
And I shall simply hope someone had a talk with him about his acting choices while he was away although that "positive response" comment doesn't fill me with hope that he used that break to reflect on what went wrong and try to remedy it.
But just like with Austin, I can't undo the decision that was made to bring him back so I am going to wipe the slate clean and give it a chance to work.

    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Anita vs. Leslie, bring it!
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
