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.

    • I think maybe viewers needed a break from Aaron Spelling by 1985 or 1986. He had a series, Macgruder and Loud, which I recall, even as a young teen, getting TONS of promotion with even a post-Super Bowl slot, and it failed. Viewers probably were - as said here - tired of soapy fare and went elsewhere. But they must have missed him since, as we know, Spelling rose from the TV ashes in the '90s with Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place!
    • I’ve been enjoying the pace the show has taken recently. Things don’t languish as long as they have and if they are drawing something out, like Gio’s adoption, it’s hasn’t been as excruciating. Also, my nosey nature would appreciate less interaction with posters I have on ignore so I don’t have to click on “options”.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not.
