It was nice seeing Charlie and Nick again. Even as zombies, they’re still good actors lol but I was surprised MarDevil kissed Nick, but not Charlie

As for Possession 2.0, I’m sure I won’t be shouting from the rooftops about how wonderful it is anytime soon, but I like how they’re weaving more characters into it, and not just the ones that are associated with Marlena.

The whole episode was a joke. I was laughing out loud through the whole thing. It wasn't scary. It was a Carol Burnett skit and that's how Carlivati wanted it. He gets his kicks writing this kind of ridiculous garbage.

I do have to say that Nicole reaction at the end was the best reaction to seeing the dead back.

And a Will and Sonny mention today with Gabi phone chat with Will and Sonny.

Kristen needs to be portrayed by no one at this point. The character is beyond played out.

The acting from "Carmine" is Wes Ramsey levels of bad. I crack up whenever he's on. I did laugh at his line about not being scared of Ava anymore because all she does is cut up eggplant. Yup. Tamara Braun is looking good though.

The zombie makeup was atrocious! I was still super happy to see Mike Manning and Blake Berris though. (No, I don't care about Deimos.)

Allie is so happy that Tripp fixed the hole in Henry's blanket... lawd they're boring!

Gabi is so damn annoying. All she does is yell.

Nicole jumping out of her chair was hilarious. Can Deimos please kill Duke? That bear is ridiculous.

My god, Deidre Hall and Blake Berris have smoking hot chemistry! THAT KISS!

Omg, swooning. In all seriousness, I was not prepared to see that.

I think Eileen has a lot of resentments surrounding the Kristen character, namely that it's the role which really made her huge and even won her an Emmy, unlike Ashley, which she seems to love playing and has much more of a history with. I sometimes wonder if her so naturally playing such a cold and often unsympathetic figure also bothers her. Either way, I don't even know if she would have returned as often as she did if she hadn't had such a long relationship with Sony. 

Eileen is Kristen and it's just about impossible to ever replace that, although if a deeply untalented, woman-hating, egocentric hack was not headwriter, that would help.

I don't really know why anyone is surprised. Between roving groups of big bad villains escaping every six months and Rolf raising half of Salem from the dead, you'd think they would have this down. 

 

I have to admit I've been watching here and there. Mostly curiosity to see how they can pull this off with such a small budget. Gotta say, Holy crap. Carlivati is like a really bad fan fiction writer with ADHD. I give him points for creative ideas, but has no writer's instinct for tone, subtext, or any kind of follow through. He really needs a co-writer to rein him in. Badly.

I thought the makeup for zombies Nick and Charlie was fine. It was dark and they were made up. What else did you want?

The possession storyline was played for camp on Halloween, but I enjoyed the hell out of it. Funny, sexy, campy lines all over the place and Diedre Hall is killing it.

I don’t dislike Stacy Haiduk, but although I’ve enjoyed her on Days and YR at times, I’ve had enough. I want ED or nobody.

The writing for Kristen is bad — she’s either in jail, in hiding, or committing crimes that’ll get her thrown in jail. Haiduk plays it all the same, with vocal tics (like her low, throaty growl) that are beyond annoying. I’m done with the entire act.

It's embarrassing and I am constantly thinking what the eff am I watching, but I am still mildly entertained lol?  I know it's stupid and is lowering my IQ, but Mardevil making out with Nick was hilarious.  So were the reactions of Nicole/Ava to dead people stalking them.  Is it a mockery of the original Possession (which I already disliked)?  Yes, but it's more entertaining than watching Ciara/Ben have sex.   I am on the fence.  I literally agree with both sides of the argument on this story.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      Beth #1 being recast right before she and Eric come face to face was jarring.  We spent the first 50 episodes or so getting to know Beth and see her rapport with her kids, co worker, and even her mother in law. Her Beth seemed content with her kids and job as caterer, but you could tell she also had a faraway look that you just knew meant that she dreamed of what life would have been like had she and Eric gotten together.   Plus, she came across as someone that you could see eventually moving into more wealthy circles based on her demeanor.   Seeing Beth always looking off into space probably helped fuel Brooke's dreams of wealth because she saw how unfulfilled her mother was.  Once Beth was recast starting in episode 52, that whole vibe completely changed and Beth #2 seemed to almost like living the middle class life.. and that her Beth would feel ill at ease around wealth, etc.

      I agree.  I've always chalked it up to the fact that DALLAS had been a pop culture phenomenon for many years and that viewers, including viewers who'd stop watching years before, were tuning in one last time to say goodbye. Also agree that it was interesting to see KL finish 27th for the week.  Any show doing that well after 12 seasons is a miracle, lol.

      I don't know anything BTS, but your theory seems reasonable.

      In comparison to Maurice Johnson, sure, but he's still... stiff AF. "Leaps and bounds" is a strong exaggeration as well. Watching him is like watching paint dry. I'd recast him next, ASAP.

      Yes! Andre easily could have just been a hunk with no real depth (like Derek) but his character is rounding out very nicely.

      They're contract; anyone in the opening is a contract player.

      I was watching an episode last night and noticed that Pictionary is taped in Atlanta. It's just a walk for Chandler to the studios.

      Emmerdale: Discussion Thread

      By AMCOLTLLover · Posted

      my vote goes to Eden (Belle)! She single handed carried that show on her back !! Best family will probably be The Dingles! I have to say 2024-2025 was a mixed bag on all of them soaps ! But if I had to say which one would be the best I would give it to Emmerdale for Belle/Tom’s storyarc. It went on for too long but at least was written properly compared to others. But I do think Corrie will win best soap for Mason’s storyline  Best storyline… I wish it would be Belle and tom but the abuse story from Hollyoaks will take that 100%

      I have to push back on this. I just don't believe it. I don't believe MVJ or anyone at BTG operates that way -- seeing a performance in reveal scenes and saying "That actor has to go." If that's the case, why aren't they doing that with other actors? We all know Maurice Johnson is FAR from the weakest actor on this soap. My feeling is that Keith Robinson became available and that someone from BTG wanted him badly from the beginning. I think this recasting was all about Robinson and not about Johnson at all. Yep, and anyone who can't see that isn't paying attention. Calling Brandon Claybon the worst actor on the show is laughable. Tomas, Ashley, and Derek might be recurring, but they're also key characters, so leaving them out of this actor discussion doesn't work. They get plenty of screen time and are on contract. The only way your narrative works about BC being the worst on the show is to ignore the rest of the cast.
