They HAVE to bring back extras. It’s ridiculous now that these businesses in town are literally kept open by essentially the only 10 people who seem to live in Genoa City now. And until they get extras they need to cut the crowd noise because it just looks silly to hear this roar of a room when the room literally has only two patrons.

Even DAYS with its non existent budget, has extras.

Get her, Nikki!!!!

 

Oooooh it has been a minute since I've seen a Nikki dressing down. MTS just gives good bitca. And there's just something in how she pronounces each and every syllable that just gets me chills even when she's being uppity. But those Diane vs Nikki scenes were worth the wait. And it's good to see Nikki gives good slap still. Though I also giggled at them having that catfight and there is only one person there. Who gave good reaction shots throughout, but still...

 

I actually liked the NuSummer/Phyllis scenes and Jack/Kyle scenes. Oooh the ribbing Kyle was giving Jack for doing the walk of shame. And Phyllis is soooo going to lose it. And it seems Diane's seed that she planted in Jack's mind is already starting to grow, causing friction between Phack. 

 

I cannot believe that after having some build to it...the Ashland story has stalled. And all he does is wander around like a lost spirit. I do like all the scenes he had with Kyle, NuSummer, and Harrison. But I guess he's overdue some fire to fight back again.

 

And I hollered at Imani having to sit at that table and have Amanda and Elena retell about Hilary, Amanda appearing, Devon/Elena/Nate, and she just sipped her tea like a shady B. Because all of that happened and those girls are STILL friends??? Get out!!! She played those scenes perfectly. I do also like Elena is not oblivious to Imani's interest in Nate. Good.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get. While I agree with those on here that he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.

    • Ah! Good to hear. Isn't it especially odd to think that house fictionally exists not far from the Karrs?  Or, that it was designed non-fictionally by the same person who designed April's place?
    • Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. Strange and awkward, and I don't know what they're doing with those fades.   -- Finally, had to laugh at how many Emmys this board passed out today.

    • Not unless they live in an apartment complex.

    • That was bad. Product placement is fine, but not here, not now. Besides, no one carries their damn detergent to the living room.   Completely and utterly disagree. I thought Brandon Claybon was excellent today -- maybe his best performance since the show started. No recast needed.   Not unpopular with me. That didn't work. The montage was good, but 5 minutes of Amazing Grace? With all those verses? No. What kind of family breaks into a loud version of Amazing Grace after what just happened??? None. Anita's lecture to Leslie was great. Ending the show -- a really good episode with crackling dialogue -- like that was a mistake.
