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..

Trina and Spencer need to kiss right now. The show is basically centered around these kids at this point and they haven't even swapped spit. DO IT ALREADY.

I just don't get it, why write it at all if they don't want to piss off the flyovers with an interracial romance? They could have easily put Spencer with Joss or some random white girl.

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.

    • Yeah. I wasn't feeling it either. If it was meant to be a chem test, it didn't work. I don't think so. Because I think Neil and Liz moved into that house after Stefano "died", and Neil lived there until he went to go see his patients and never came back

    • Canada aired a repeat today Tues. Nov. 18. So after being a day ahead for the past week, they will now be back in sync with U.S.
    • I was really starting to enjoy it, but after Anspach, Shelton and Keane left, it got a bit blah to watch. Jane Russell was great as Rose, Buddy Ebsen as Toat was interesting as well.  If a second season were in the cards, I would have signed  Karen Carlson on to a contract and cast a couple more women as regulars. The cowboy aspect could continue. Sam Elliott, as always, was fantastic,  The camaraderie between Roy and Quisto was really good as well. Cybill... she was sex on a stick and unapologetic.   Poor Robin Wright barely lasted five minutes, though, before being raped and murdered.
    • I love it that we've gone from daylight to dark -- Luna's even returned to work -- but Steffy is still sitting next to shirtless Finn on the sofa.

    • Is the current DiMera mansion the same mansion Stefano moved into around 1983?  I remember that house was out near a lake, and not far from Doug Williams' night club.  In fact, there was a tunnel connecting Doug's Place to the DiMera mansion.  If it supposed to be the same house, I'm fairly sure it is not the same set.  But I'm aware sometimes soap opera sets change without any explanation   
    • Amazing work @slick jones I remember watching and enjoying Yellow Rose but losing interest once they went to self contained episodes, Interestingly that's the opposite of what Dallas, KL and FC did. So maybe YR should have been more episodic at first and then go to a fully fledged serial. But really the timeslot was the problem -Sat @10 was not the spot for a serial. And Rounders turned out to be a poor lead in. Maybe 9-11 Tues following A Team would have helped.  
    • LOL!!! He looks like he is reacting as if Luna just passed bad gas or something. 
    • Doug Marland came on board shortly before Gloria Monty, I believe. Jackie Smith was in charge of ABC daytime at that point. All of the characters in place were not his creations. Alan was created by Irving and Tex Ellman who wrote the hurricane story a few months before and brought in Alan, Scotty, David Hamilton, Dorrie and Lisa/Lana. His first character was  Bobbie in Jan 78. Apart from wrapping up the Lan/Lisa story he pretty much kept all the stories going just adding new elements.
    • She is 29... she's inching closer, and we know how important age is on soaps.
