Today was ok.

Ben was annoying as always lol but Ciara was tolerable today especially in the scenes with Maggie and Julie. And I still stand by my belief that we should have seen Doug be carted off to Bayview

Philip is just insufferable. He needs to be taken out of this endless Brady/Chloe loop once and for all. Remember how good it was in 2008-2009 when Philip taken out of Shawn and Belle's orbit and then Chloe's, and he moved on with that Morgan girl and then Stephanie and Melanie. That really needs to be done here. Mix it up a little bit, and in the process make him less annoying lol

It seems like they're continuing the very old tradition of soap hunks being drunk at fan events, Sean Kanan should do a Ted Talk about the perils of such decisions.

 

This is an excellent point because the character has so much potential, as the scion of Kate and Victor.  I think one of the problems is that they've never firmly established his character traits.  Is he a bad boyfriend or just easily moved to jealousy?  Is he smarter at business than Brady or EJ, because we know he is more educated?  How does his relationship with Kate differ from Lucas's relationship to his mother?  Is he confident?  Because he constantly seems to be trying to prove something.  In other words, in a town filled with eligible bachelors, why do we need Phillip as part of the mix?

Preach

 

And while I am enjoying Possession 2.0, it's like watching an entirely different show as well. And then you have episodes that drag on with Ava, Duke The Bear, Rafe ... sigh.

 

Beyond Salem = the show fans want

Possession 2.0 = the show Ron wants

Duke The Bear = the show NBC wants

Meanwhile, Sony is all "I don't know her"

    • Thank you. You guys come to the rescue again. I'll take a look later.   Thank you for the info!!! Now I find myself less confused. You and @DRW50 are amazing.
    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
