The top pic is too blurry for me to understand what I'm seeing.


The bottom pic is Gina Tognoni's Phyllis running Jabot from November 2018.

I gather you are comparing the two images but I can't make out the details in the  first one to see anything from Jabot?

That said NO ONE is going to be OG Billy and Mac storyline. Especially if there is not the sparring partner-ness the original had.

 

But I didn't need Reed/Mattie to be sparring. They had enough 'opposites attract' for me to like them just fine.

Okay, that was just underwhelming. 

 

I felt like the Imani/Nate storyline just up and vanished for a week. And then we FINALLY got to the trap. And it just fell flat. I definitely don't feel it was the actors because LAR popped every time I saw her. And Dom was...Nate. But I guess I expected more. Though I do like in way that Nate might be getting drawn to Imani due to what is going on with Naya. Not what I expected in that regard so there is still potential. And then add on Lily. And what if she gets so distracted stumbling onto Imani's schemes that she does not notice Billy and Chelesa getting closer...which btw was lame this week.

 

Speaking of lame, this turn in Ashland's storyline? Le sigh. I was hoping that once he found out that he was tricked by Victoria that he would be vengeful, allowing RN to do his thing. There were a few times this week, he hints at the possible menace, and I feel he can do it. But then? He was more or less a whipping boy all week. From Victoria to Victor to Nick to even Adam. And Michael using Harrison...yeah I feel some way about that. But...I guess that is a good thing because I find myself rooting for him.

 

This is the first time I really wanted to shake Adam. He should have thought of something better to do than act like he broke up with Sally. Couldn't they just fake a breakup instead? Perhaps it was to paint Adam as a sympathetic character. Niiice, but not like this. Moreso because Victor was at least working behind the scenes with Sally to have Adam's back. 

 

Loving nuSummer. And LOVE Kyle telling Phyllis off. Has he ever done so? It was different. And I loved that he threw the fact he knew what broke up Phack this time in her face. I was impressed even if he took it back after the commercial break.

 

I continue to like Diane. And I loved how SW played her scenes with her, Harrison, and Ashland. You could see the conflict on her face. She knows EXACTLY what he is going through, and I continue to want to see them together. And I will always LIVE for Nikki vs Diane. And I loved Diane was the one #unbothered. 

 

I am probably in the minority but I like Noah/Allie. I also continue to like Allie's continued attempts to fit into Genoa City. I do wish (yes I saw the pictures above so I know it's coming) we could have seen her at Jabot. I do wonder what drama they are trying to set up with Noah because he did not like Nick wanting to put him in charge of New Hope. The writers' attempt to touch on what's going on in the way with people wanting to find their path and quitting jobs (not that everyone is doing it because Queen Bey told them so but I digress...).

 

I hope we are not about to tread water again.

The lack of sets/extras  along with terrible story choices really sabotages the show.

As per usual Allie's job at Jabot is a success.

Why is Josh afraid to let any of the characters experience career setbacks? Maybe because there might be some drama to be mined? We can't have that...

BITD we would have seen Allie in the lab and there might be a mini story of her initial struggle. Maybe there's some resentment from a co worker about an Abbott turning up. 

Perhaps Allie unintentionally rubs people up the wrong way. There's some mix up and she gets the blame. She wants to quit but Jack/ashley refuses. Allie finds out a co worker is siphoning off supplies. SOMETHING.

Not just her chatting to Noah.

    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.
