I’ll be honest, the Craig/Leo scenes weren’t as bad as I thought they were going to be. Yes, Craig is stupid but at least he didn’t come off like a selfish POS.

Tripp was breaking my heart today lol

But yeah, Johnny’s inner voice sounded pretty bad. It really did sound like he was reading from a script

Good show today. 

Poor Tripp

 I felt so bad for him and not for Allie at all. 

We deserved flashbacks of Craig and Leo meeting. If the show can afford a life-sized Duke, they can afford a chipmunk costume for Greg Rikaart. 

The Johnny/JoDevil stuff at the end was really bad. I actually laughed our loud. Johnny's voice pleading with the devil was just... oy. And as much as I like Johnny/Chanel, Johnny trying to fight the devil with his love for Chanel doesn't pack quite the same punch as Marlena fighting for her love for John.

I’m not familiar with BB’s work on GH or even as Stefan, really. Is he doing an accent for Jake? He sounds like he’s from Pittsburgh whenever he pronounces the “ow” sound: house=haas, down=dahn. It’s almost Scottish sounding.

Ohhhh! Leo's the smart-ass who would probably be throat-punched if he if he brought that flamboyant sh!t up in Marjorie Taylor Greene's congressional district.

That was not meant to come across as hateful or political, but I weirdly envision the Leo's of the world in all the sociological bubbles that exist where tolerance is not so kind.

This Renee story is so dumb.  At the very least can they explain why Sarah doesn't visibly see Kristen and Tony are years older than her?    I know LG is not a board favorite and she's not mine, but has she ever seen a PS Renee scene?  Could she at least try to channel some of PS's mannerisms?  I want to like this story a little bit because it's an actual throwback to history, but LG was the absolutely wrong choice for this.

Why are Kate/Roman pushing so hard for Tripp to forgive Allie?  Can they give the man five minutes to absorb the information?  And Roman comparing Tripp's situation to his/John/Marlena's was oddly not helpful lol.  Are Allie/Chanel John/Marlena in this?

Well tbf, Sarah wasn’t injected with Renee’s essence like with Stevano, so this really is just Sarah playing Renee as opposed to LG playing Renee. 

And I see that Tony got some of his history wrong today lol Tony didn’t realize that Anna was the true love of his life until long after Renee was dead.

This same shít happened with RC's Teen Jessica's story on OLTL and it's exasperating.

I like LG a lot more than a lot of the board. I blame the writing and stories.

Okay, but I would at least expect LG to infuse some of Renee's aura or haughtiness into the way she acting.  She was waving at and greeting Chad like a child.   I am probably not explaining this right, but if Sarah reading Renee's diary made her think she loved Tony so you would think she also picked up other Renee attitudes and habits.

I think LG plays Sarah and pretty much anything on Days all wrong.  It's always obnoxious and cutesy.  Of course there are numerous writing issues but LG isn't helping at all.

I definitely don't expect LG to deep dive and find all of the 40 year old clips of Renee and spend her time on that, but at least a few important scenes.  I know Sarah is mentally ill right now, but she's acting like a child almost.  Not like Renee at all.  

I have no idea if this is anything Christopher Sean studied, but he immediately felt like he had similar mannerisms and expressions as Drake/John.  It could be natural, but it felt like he spent time at least studying John/Drake.  The same with Stephen Nichols.  He doesn't need to do research like that-he's iconic already.   I would expect someone like LG to at least do the bare minimum and do the same.   Maybe that's too harsh though.

    • 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.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.  
    • It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.  
    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
