I watched last week's episodes all in one sitting and it was so quick because I FFed through all their scenes. I wish they'd just leave because then I wouldn't fast forward anything on the show. 

And I fast forwarded this wedding of course but I think a small one was appropriate. They just had a huge wedding a year ago. No need to do another big one for them. 

For real. Ben/Ciara/Claire is bland, bland, bland. This quad is so much better. Tripp is the weak link here - he's not bad, he just doesn't have as much of a personality as the others. Chanel is a ton of fun and Johnny is super thirsty which is entertaining. I've always liked Allie and the actress who plays her. Tripp is... nice.

This could play out for a long time, like Spencer/Trina/Cam/Joss on GH. Both quads have so much potential and so much story possibilities based on the characters themselves, rather than something outlandish. There's nothing more you can do with Ben and Ciara, except for finally giving them Baby Bo 

And on the plus side, even the weakest person in each quad (Tripp/Joss) is watchable and a good actor. 

I think VK's return is still only temporary. Hopefully, Ben will go with her.

I mean, in reality, they'd all probably be hooking up with each other ... lol. You know Ron would love to have all four in bed together! (And yes, that's icky because Johnny and Allie are twins, but Ron will Ron)

I agree. I like Lucas Adams and Tripp is a good guy, and we always need one of those on the show. He's not the most exciting character in the quad but I don't mind him at all. I wouldn't mind if he had a bit more of an edge. I don't need him holding a knife to Kayla's throat again but have him do something besides be a doting boyfriend/uncle who's working hard to become a doctor. Good guy but not super interesting at the moment. 

I wouldn't mind all four of them ending up in bed together if not for the "twincest" factor, not that it would ever happen anyway lol.

And the trick had the nerve to laugh about it on top of it. It felt like such a dig to poor neutered Theo.

It made me sick. I am all for Cin leaving town living crappily ever after never to be seen or heard from again. But realistically, now that Ben has everything he wants, how long before he loses interest in Ciara and falls for someone else?

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story.
    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago that perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. Since we hardly know anything about Leslie's childhood background. In addition, Leslie said she grew up listening to The Articulettes….
    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
    • I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.
    • I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
