My hope is if this proves successful, they'll try to be edgier and push the boundaries of typical soap conventions in season 2. Right now, this feels safe, which is nice, but they have a new platform that they should try some new things with.

So, if they get a season 2 and more money - hire better/non-daytime writers, and maybe play around with the production elements a bit more. This show exists outside of the continuity of the main show anyway, so they don't have to try to explicitly tie it all together.

Thanks for posting! They sure were busy with interviews. 

 

At first I thought maybe a little bit more but I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary. But then I read Chandler interview with @Errol and I thought maybe they did push the envelope a little bit because of certain things Chandler said.

Honestly, If I have to see Ben/Ciara everyday I like the idea of them undercover.  I know I joked about Ben being an ISA agent, but this is the sort of thing I wouldn't mind seeing them do in the future.  It's much better than them in bed doing nothing with their lives all day. 

Although Greta is legitimately twice Ciara's age, so it's not even a good idea.  Not to mention she had an enormous coronation, so people have an idea what she looks like.

No.  Ciara brought her up I think or Billie.  And Ciara and Ben are going undercover to meet suspicious Faversham relatives as Greta and her serial killer husband I guess.  And Lisa Rinna and Porte got a dance break after that because Ciara and Ben need to learn to tango. Poor Julianne Morris.  You know she would have come back lol

Like I said, I appreciated Ciara in this role going undercover.  It fits her and I guess Ben can come along.

Also, did no one else find it weird that when Ciara introduced Billie/Ben she didn't mention Billie is the mother of her half sister Chelsea?  And Ciara didn't even ask about her even in passing?

Since we were speculating about possible stories to get Carrie on her own, I am not against also bringing Greta back and get a triangle going there. As awful awful awful as the Garden of Eve was Austin/Greta were cute enough.

In truth I don't know if there is enough story to warrant bringing them back full-time but my nostalgia is acting up. Even though 95% of her stories sucked, I really liked Greta as a character.

    • Like I said competing organization But this is not what I want to happen.
    • Hotel no doubt benefited from the Dynasty lead in and didn't move until it was jettisoned to Sat night wasteland to play out a final season. Maybe it should have been moved earlier to perhaps bolster another night and allow ABC to nurture another show in the post Dynasty timeslot when the former was still a ratings winner.  
    • Who is going to say, "I'm headed home to watch The Chew?!?!" One of the most ridiculous names ever. I didn't watch AMC or keep up with it towards the end, but OLTL still had life in it and could have gone on. OLTL 2.0 was entertaining and worked because RC was not involved. A real shame that did not work because I think the show could have gone in good directions.

    • I've always said that JFP's main problem is that she comes up with some shocking event and she plans around the event but she never thinks much about the emotional fallout for the characters or the fans. That's why so many of her stories don't work and damage her shows. I like your idea about Lando playing the person involved in hitting Maureen. It would have given Peter Simon something to do which is the feeble excuse they gave for killing Maureen off in the first place. Instead, they gave us the dreck they did.  And they were so obsessed with recreating the blackout week that they kept putting characters in fires and blizzards. None of which I saw, but going through the Logan columns I noticed: every few weeks, someone at GL would give an interview to Logan saying GL was going to get better because they had a great new storyline (A fire! A blizzard! A fire!) . Insanity.  
    • @Contessa Donatella, Make sure to cite your sources when making claims such as "apparently she just inked a new deal." This information has not been reported anywhere and is therefore not known to the public, unless disclosed by the actor in question themselves. Once again, stop stating information as fact without providing a legitimate source. What you read or hear somewhere, from either message boards or on social media, does not make it true. This includes information from your "sources."

      Sorry.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieDNct2sgXU  
    • I don't believe it either, @kalbir.  Ironically, I think KL's first producer, Joseph B. Wallenstein, ended up producing "Hotel" as well.
    • Yes, and by the time the 2000's rolled around Katherine was a saint and a dynamic business women. Hard to connect with the drunken lush isolated in her mansion of the 70's.
