LOL!!

But seriously.  If this were still the '80's, you know they'd have Liz up onstage at Blondie's, singing her heart out (as usual) to something like "Crazy," by Kenny Rogers, while both Craig and Leo sit in the audience, exchanging long, meaningful glances at each other.

And I'd be so ready to punch out my TV screen, too.

Oh, if Jamey is writing this garbage, then Cleo's love theme would be something from Sylvester.

I wrote this two months ago when the story was still a rumor.

I mean... Did I call it or what?

I am not saying this to self-congratulate myself. It is just because it was so entirely predictable and one of the reasons I got mad as soon as I heard it floated.
Someone who had put some thought and heart into wanting to seriously and compellingly tell the story of an older man coming out wouldn't have picked Craig from his decade-long absence from the show to do it. 
This is about KS being gay and out; that's all there was to the genesis of this mess and then he wanted to shoehorn the entire gay scene into it since Beyond Salem was well-received in that way.

And as happy as I am to get Will/Sonny back, I am not optimistic he is intending to write actual proper stories for them that do not involve sex or hijinks.

I was also going to mention that Craig comes off real desperate too in this horrible story.

As for Will and Sonny I've read rumors that Leo becomes possessed and breaks them up.

Zach Tinker hinted on it with a tweet.

They brought these two back for this garbage?

And the thing is, it's going nowhere.  There's no point in this shaggiest of shaggy dog stories.  It's just the devil leaping from one person to another with no clear agenda.  Either get to the [!@#$%^&*] point, Carlivati, or END IT!!

Honestly, I like Mike Manning but I'm glad they didn't try to go down a rededemption route just because he's hot. I'm tired how hot white guys gets away with violent acts of crime due to their six pack.

    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with. 
    • How did this come to be?

      Btw, if he’s on again, you should apply to be a contestant
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.
