ALL: Plot twists and cliffhangers that did not get spoiled by spoilers

I swear my friend told me there was a promo all week, but to be honest I don't remember it in real time.  I want to say I did see it on you tube and it wasn't explicitly showing her face, but her from behind and her with the sunglasses on.  You could clearly tell it was Vanessa.  It also showed a ton of Brenda/Jax flashbacks so that was probably a give away as well.  *I'll look for it.  It's a pretty deep dive into Brenda return promos on you tube though lol

When you look back on the story it's actually pretty obvious she was going to appear, but I was shocked, so even if they were teasing it her #1 fan missed it.  I was an on and off watcher back then, so I must have expected something to tune in, but I did like Jax a ton back then.

Oooo...now I am intrigued.

 

But that said...was this during the time of the lookalike, too? If so, clever misdirection. I was not regular watching then, either. But just from the article I read at the time, it said specifically which dates to watch.

The only time a soap has legitimately shocked me was the end of episode reveal that Kevin was Michael's brother on Y&R. There were zero hints or buildup to it but when it happened it made perfect sense.

Yes.  This is when Eva Longoria appeared as a Brenda lookalike.  I can find the actual scenes on you tube not the promo.  She starts around the 12:30 mark.  The clip has some of the backstory, but it has a lot of Jax/Chloe lol.

But seriously, yes, I remember some of that storyline. And I always love seeing VM. But I soooo wanted to see this promo.  ;(

I really liked Jax, but outside of everything being tainted, 2000 isn't a particularly good period for him.  Chloe/Jax are so boring.  And just speaking of looking for things on you tube, even before Ingo was the worst, he never built up a following the way Brenda or Sonny or Carly did so almost all his stories on you tube are buried in those sub-channels. But when I have time I will find this promo!!

Shannon coming back from the dead on ATWT in the 90s.

Throughout the episode, Duncan had an argument with Jessica because she was at a protest.  He gets a call that his wife is in custody so he goes to where she's at.  And he looks in shock and the last frame was Shannon's disheveled look before end credits..and on a Friday

When Scott Byce who played Craig Montgomery, appeared disguised as "Tony Impostore" to help say goodbye to Anne Sward, who had played his mother Lyla Montgomery Perretti for years and was leaving the show. She looked genuinely shocked and you could hear audible gasps and whoops, so I believe that, not only was it kept a secret from viewers but it was likely kept a secret from the cast as well, with the likely exception of Eileen Fulton.

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.
