Having the two different openings was nice. The original one to start and the miniseries one.

For me the episode flew by. It could've been better with improved writing (I don't see that happening). The nonsense with Paulina famous friends was a bit much and not needed. The concept of Killer Ben and Austin buying estate jewelry is ridiculous. Come on now.

I hated everything Killer Ben and Ciara... they continue to prop his sorry ass even in the spinoff. I'm not here for that. At least Billie was horrified that she married a serial killer and told him to stay from her family. Why was Ciara explaining Will's love life to Billie? Billie was there during the whole Will/Paul/Sonny triangle.

LOL yep. There's no need for cheating anymore. Sonny is hot now, out of those ill-fitting suits, and no longer has slicked-back hair. Hallelujah!

I liked Deidre's voice over at the very beginning. The actual opening sequence was LOL. I skipped right through Ben and Ciara as usual, at least until Lipsa Rinna showed up. Why is Ciara parading around in lingerie?

Billie: The necktie killer who strangled my nephew Will?

Ciara: It's okay, they're best friends now.

F*CK I hate Ciara and Ben. This is why I don't watch their scenes.

Paulina is glad Rosie O'Donnell moved away. LMAO. And she's friends with Michele Obama. I love it. Lani and Eli are a very attractive couple.

Christie Clark looks amazing. I'm so glad that Tony and Anna are part of this.

Chad/Will/Sonny was the highlight for me, which is funny because I haven't had any use for Will and Sonny on the main show in ages. Enjoying the new and improved Sonny. Let's get them back in Salem. LEO!!!!

OMG Yes!  I forgot to mention that... Why in the hell was Ciara running around in New Orleans in red underwear?

I feel like VK always dresses like that, but it was distractingly skimpy. 

I liked it all.  It wasn't amazing, but no one bothered me even Ciara/Ben.  

The idea Ben/Austin could buy priceless diamonds is funny, but whatever lol.

Jarlena were wearing the same outfits they were wearing early last week and not the ones they were wearing on Thursday's episode, so that was a continuity error.  And could Days buy Deidre that Blue lace dress in another color at least?  She wears that all the time.

I wonder if this will explain Hope's disappearance better.  I doubt KA will come back though for this.  I would assume they would have promoted that because I don't think she's a bigger get than Eileen or Lisa in terms of promotion.

Haven't watch yet.

 

Sounds like the writing could have been slightly better?

 

So many who saw it were saying it was "game changing" ... I don't see it from the comments here. How? game changing as in a soap is being promoted by the network and airing a mini-series on it's streaming platform? Nothing about the show itself feels game changing so far. So that has confused me. Hype I guess.

It was nice seeing Carrie.

The sets were improved but of course Will and Sonny get shafted with the ugliest apartment. What gay married couple live in such a hideous place? Come on Ron Carlivati!!

 

What a breath of fresh air. New improved Sonny is hot and can act! No more awful cringeworthy faces and screaming coming from Sonny. The opening scene (the hug) with Chad was oozing with sexual tension! Damn Chad and Sonny had smoking chemistry. Will had very little time today. 

I was liking the concept of Will cheating on Sonny. He should've been cheating on old fat righteous Sonny on the mother show. I was hoping for a hot guy to be in the room. I had forgotten about Leo....ugh!...

 

Chandler looked hot as usual. Sonny, Will and Chad could have their own spinoff on Peacock. There is no way Chad hasn't had a taste of Sonny's pie or some other hot guy.

It was really just like a normal episode to me, just slightly more exciting because we had some faces that we don't see on the normal show like Carrie and Austin. And it didn't take place in Salem. No Horton Town Square!

It was fine and I'm looking forward to the rest, but hardly "game changing."

I agree. If we could have nice things, Chad would have been all over Sonny and Will. He'd be bisexual no question. And Billy Flynn plays it that way LOL.

 

So excited to see Zach as Sonny and Christie Clark as Carrie.

 

That's what it sounds like to me. I'm cool with that, I guess, since this is probably the DAYS I'd rather watch anyway LOL

      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.

      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.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      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.

      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.
