That short period of time when Galen left the show was so beautiful. I remember being so excited when news broke that he was leaving, and so annoyed when it was announced that he was coming right back. Why can't we have nice things?

I just want my Nicole out of Rafe (and Duke) hell so badly. The only way I can tolerate Rafe scenes is if EJ is there making fun of him. I want to see EJ pummel Rafe into the ground so bad. LOL

I wish Lucas had something to do besides wait for Alison Sweeney to return, lol, but clearly we're only going to see him a couple times a month until that happens. I did enjoy his recent two minutes of scenes with EJ. Since Lucas told EJ that he's investing in Johnny's movie (loved that little moment), let's actually get Lucas involved in that story. It would give him some much needed airtime and give him and EJ something to argue about until Sami comes back.

I am going to be honest, never saw the appeal in the actor. Ever since watching Passions, he just comes off as basic in the look departments. Don't get me wrong, would love to have his body, but i find guys like Zander and new EJ to be WAY hotter. Maybe its the accent.

Comparison is a bit unfair... one is a Photoshopped portrait and the other is an episode still. I will say this: since his debut, Eric Martsolf has definitely aged a bit, but is still gorgeous. Just a shame the writers continue to destroy the character of Brady by not giving Eric Martsolf enough material worthy of his abilities.

I feel like my brain dies anytime Chloe, Phillip, Brady, Rafe, Ava, and Nicole are on. It's straight up snoozeville.

It's odd that they NEVER have Ava interact with Tripp, too. Maybe put her back in her son's orbit and have her inspire an edge in him.

Agreed on that aspect. I like Eric Martsolf, but having Brady appear older than Sami & Eric and also seeming to be the same age as Kristen (Stacy Haiduk's version at least) is jarring. Kristen used to babysit Brady as a 3-year-old. But it is what it is, and it's been that way for 13 years now, so :::shrug:::

LOL right? Why not more Ava/Tripp? Why is Ava not all in her son's business? Pushing him in certain directions, etc. 

 

So many character opportunities and it's like they just don't care to bother. (I also assume scheduling/guarantees plays a part but I feel like they can do better)

 

Wasn't it though? I was ecstatic. It was up there with Daniel's death for me and Shawn Christian leaving. I also was pretty happy when Scott said FU and EJ was killed like nothing. Dan's revived EJ for me. It's crazy how much I like the character now. Better writing for him helps.

 

Lucas is always wasted. There's initial promise everytime Bryan returns but then nothing except some pop ups. It's such a shame. Like I said, so many missed 'character opportunities'. More Lucas/Johnny vs. EJ would be nice. I love EJ's hatred of Rafe. It warms my heart.

 

If they kept Rafe as a side character who was a snarky cop I could deal. He's not a romantic lead. The character is just a warm body holding a spot on the canvas.

I liked today's show a lot.  But OMG the HD Jarlena flashbacks make her makeup look so purple and intense.  Also how on earth would Johnny be able to have the exact dialogue in the script?  Unless Sami was creeping around behind the door longer than we knew?  John have very valid points and Roman is all NBD it's over.

    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

    • Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
