Actually as a whole the dialogue has been really strange lately, you would think some 90-year old is writing some of this thinking they’re witty and smart LMAO.

I wonder how much of that is Amanda Beall’s doing.

🤣Ya know, I haven’t check actual writing credits in a long time but I definitely can sense that now! I remember Beall’s scripts during the MAB era stuck out like a sore thumb even in a sea of mediocrity. If I recall right wasn’t she fired from AMC? Of course MAB hired her.  Beall probably should be writing a teen sitcom instead.

I for the life of me can’t remember the story about Esther being engaged to the guy in Las Vegas? When was that?

I so meant to respond earlier to answer your question but I seem to recall it happening back in 2009ish at some point. It was a way to explain how Esther lost all the money she had inherited from Katherine/Marge’s death and have to work at the mansion as the maid again but worked at the GCAC first.

Thanks!! Lol, I knew it was probably from one of MABs era of retelling famous old movie and sitcom plots.

You’re welcome!! Lol I’m hazy on the details when I saw the clip but do vaguely recall it occurring around the same time Jill was forced to work as a manicurist again. There’s so much from MAB era I have blocked out until I am forced to see it again lol.

Robert Newman and Susan Walters have a spark. 

I’ve been on this board for years. Did we ever figure out what’s going on with Michelle Stafford’s speech? Her pronunciation of words was off the rails today in that last screaming scene with Bergman.

Botox is my guess

LOL!

At least Stafford’s spray tanning techniques have gotten a lot better recently after the messiness in 2020-21 with visibly stained hands and splotches around her neck and occasionally on her arms. Maybe she was spray tanning herself due to Covid restrictions, but it was embarrassing to watch the show film her like that without any effort to at least find some type coverup.

The lighting with high definition is quite unforgiving with some of the more 'mature' performers.

I'm sure if Anthony Morina really gave a damn, he'd try and address this and many other production issues.

But this is a leader who, in the time he's been EP, I don't think has made any statements or given interviews about the show.

Although , with what went down on set, maybe he's been forbidden to speak.

This show blows whenever Diane is not on screen. 

They seem to be throwing Chelsea at everybody’s husband to try and find a place for her on the canvas—Kyle, Chance, Rey. She’s a regular modern-day Barbara Ryan, right down to the fashion business. Blech.

Agreed. It was also great to see her settling in at a room at the GCAC and good to at least see a room set from there again. 
 

One thing I do like is how Diane’s motivations seem to be truly focused on Kyle and Harrison, in spite of Nikki and Phyllis allegations. Whether or not Diane does have a couple other ulterior motives remains pretty murky/shrouded and not yet clear.

—Kyle

Lol that was awkward and random as heck but I did wonder if they were testing something out. 
 

PS Chelsea is very very unworthy of the Barbara Ryan comparison, even when Babs was at her worst 😏

That was definitely sarcasm on my part LOL.

Just from these interviews with JG, it feels like stories are completely in flux.
