ANYWAY

Those pictures of the cast look great. I'm glad about the Sonya Eddy tribute and to see Jane Elliot is back. I hope she's not the only return.

This reminds me that Y&R has announced nothing for its 50th, which is a week before GH's 60th.

I don't care for the light gray walls of the redesigned Quartermaine house (or Carly's kitchen) but ABC seems very invested in the legacy of the show. As they should be. It's a cultural touchstone and the longest running drama on American TV.

Characters have HOMES. There are multiple restaurants and businesses. There's varied camera work. It's treated like an actual program broadcast to millions of homes and not a shameful afterthought.

The actors blend in with the background, literally nothing stands out and is "eye catching" lol!

 

LOL 

 

 

Basically Frank who gets dragged on a daily basis cause he's got so many damn pets only wants "constructive criticism"

Exactly, unfinished story gets a random new layer. For example: was Harmony always Neil's killer or was that a last minute addition?

I have a feeling we won't get a proper resolution to who The Hook is. Heather as the culprit is anti climactic.

I don't even think they intended for Esmé to be Heather's daughter the entire time. Why does the show always feel the need to make new additions related to current players.  Eventually, the writers won't be able to remember all the random family trees, and have people who are cousins dating.

Dex & Joss = Molly & Brando = Dev & Trina/Joss. Sketchy guy of the moment. Esme=Nelle=Carly. If GH's writers are going to keep re-introducing the same archetype in such a short span, make it diverse by changing their race at least.

I love ALL of that and there was so much wiggle room left for the subplots.

 

But the quote above is actually how I am feeling it is going to go down as well. I figured that Rory's death would be more of a bump than how it is feeling right now. He actually feels like an afterthought in fact. Jordan and Dante seem more hurt by his death than Trina. At the same time, I love the chemistry, but I am not loving they are being written like they are Chase/BrookLynn at the moment. 

 

I do feel at some point comforting will turn to a kiss for sure. But when?

I agree, while I think a lot of the current Q mansion looks like a suburban McMansion showroom there are at least more homes now than there were in the mid-2010s when half the cast lived in the [!@#$%^&*] hotel like GL and now Y&R. That started, I think, with Finola allegedly insisting on a house set when she resigned six or seven years ago (and I believe they gave her the old Chandler Mansion set from AMC) but clearly the money has been freed up more and more.

Twitter is definitely not real life but I think if they were focused on Twitter you'd see a very different handling of certain characters. You can't let social media dictate response, but that means all social media - not preferring to center older suburban or rural whites on FB, which seems to be the fear issue for the show and its mostly bad stories.

      Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime.

      Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.

      French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.

      I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up.

      I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?

      Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.

      Those Soap Central profiles have a lot of incorrect info. According to SOD summaries and the Daytime Newsletter of the time,Tim left town for a new job and Pam reunited with the father of her baby and also departed Springfield.They did not marry.

      Do we believe that Jabot is at the level of Estee Lauder?? I am on board with Jabot deciding to expand but the way it was handled was ridiculous. Jabot just decided and bingo, that was that. Not months of negotiations and decisions about how it would fit into the Jabot portfolio. And then no follow through. Josh thinks he's serving business stories by characters sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers and job switching. Now we have Audra setting up her own company -Vibrator or something. Well, why not? You don't need staff, office space or even products.

      He a dirty dog! Those are his kids and he hurt everyone. At this point he needed to just come clean. I can't believe I was lusting over this man! I hope they aren't quick to forgive.

      The way I took it is that he did not want to confirm or deny anything until he talked to Nicole first. He was very calculated with the wording he used with Martin and Kat
