I know the answer, but I'll add that the Jordan Recast and establishing the actress in the role also came into play.

I do give credit to the show for broadening the Ashford/Taggert into a three generation family with "Hat Dad" now that Vernee can only appear on breaks from BOB <3s ABISHOLA. I don't now if bumping him up to contract was really necessary, but if it had to do with keeping the actor from landing another series, I guess it makes sense.

 

Spencer looked like he was channeling his inner Valentin the past few episodes.  Kudos for the scenes between Spencer and Cameron, especially the recent hug.  Also while I'm not a big fan of singing, I thought William Lipton was fairly good today. I even caught myself humming the tune.

One line from Maxie about ToddFrankenAustin leaving town for Podunk er Pawtuck would end this crap.  Just saying..

I still think the characters/actors and storyline got away from them with the audience, especially the online audience, and now they are trying to walk a cowardly tightrope to keep both elements of the audience on side while Frank struggles to find a way to get back to an OLTL 2008-era teen scene, preferably with Chavez and someone else who is at least off-white.

Call it conspiracy theory if folks want, but you can't tell me a white (or all Black!) teen couple in the making would not have at least kissed once by now on a 21st century soap. This isn't 1980 where Doug Marland played the long, long game.

The Trina/Spencer scenes were just as good as I thought they were going to be. So many parts of their storylines have been like classic soap and even though the writers really do need to speed pretty much every storyline on the show, Sprina is still a joy to watch.

I'm excited to see what's next for them.

Spencer and Trina are SO GOOD. They are the one couple getting great writing. So much angst and longing. I just loved Trina sprinting into the PCPD only to realize she was too late. She didn't even notice Bory was right there. 

Joss and Dex... literally garbage. Another pairing for Eden to tank. Next! 

Pop star Chase ain't it. They have massacred my boy. He and BLQ had so much potential but now they're written like middle schoolers. Awful. 

Carly and Drew are also awful. CM needs to go host a game show and get off my screen. He's so useless. 

Cody can go any time. They really thought this was a good idea for a character.

I honestly don't even know what the story is with Austin and his cousin because I zone out every time they're on. Luckily Austin doesn't get much airtime.at this point. He and Maxie are one of the most chem-less couples I've ever seen. 

I do think Sante are cute. KM and DZ work well together. Unfortunately all they get to do is talk about Cody. 

I really wish Finn would disappear with no explanation. 

I'm just here for Sprina.

      That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.

      Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?

      I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!

      That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.

      On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

      Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?

      I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By j swift · Posted

      It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)
