Catching up on last week when Chelsea explains that her therapist advised against the suicide podcast. That's fine by me. I think it was a terrible idea. I'm just laughing that this show has gotten so boring, now they don't even show them recording podcasts anymore (again, not that I want to see that), they just talk about recording podcasts. It also occurred to me that Traci attempted suicide in 1984 and they did highlight that during the COVID episodes so production should be vaguely aware of it. It would have been very powerful to have Billy confide in Traci about Chelsea's situation, then be surprised to learn his own aunt had gone through a similar situation, and then Traci and Chelsea could have shared scenes. That could have happened organically.

Same. At least Imani's motives were clear and built up over time. And dare I say it...had more rooting value.

 

Audra? Who is she? lol. Better she stay in a triangle with Noah and Allie than this.

Imani was better developed and had a clear agenda to not only make Nate hers, but also make him superior. Sly and cunning while compassionate with a hint of danger she was definitely more dynamic than her rival Elena.

Audra strikes me as a opportunist with no loyalty to any of her men so far including Nate, Tucker, and Noah as she had been chem tested with Chance & Kyle as well. At least Imani was loyal to the man she wanted. I like the actress who plays Audra, but for sure there isn’t much rooting value for a flip-flopper like Audra.

And yes, from the moment Imani stormed into Amanda's room, there was fire. And we didn't know a lot, but we knew she was ambitious. And she was everything you said. Even Jill noticed. I would have loved to see Jill take her under her wing. Imani wanted to be a power couple and had no problem trying to make it happen. She was fiercely loyal, too. 

 

I like the actress who plays Audra, but yes, she does come across as an opportunist at best and a plot device at worst. Any attempt to humanize her like when it was revealed she was pregnant with Noah's baby and miscarried, but still loved him has just fallen by the wayside for her to be the community bike. And good actress, but that's a lot to play and keep it from coming across like a...plot device. So hard to root for someone when it's paper thin on motivation and what's inside the person.

I so thought we would get a Nate/Imani hookup. She was so thirsty shooting the shot at him.

It looked like we were going to get a Noah/Audra hookup but it seems Noah (and by extension Allie) storyline has diminished.

Shamelessly thirsty at that. ;) It's been a minute since we had a good vixen.

 

I am so sad that looks like it won't happened Audra/Noah/Allie. It had some potential.

Apparently it is bad luck to be cast as a character named Allie in 2023, straight to recurring on both Y&R and DOOL.

Unless your real name is Alley (as in Mills) who was able to play scenes on both B&B and GH recently.

Excellent idea. Tying in the past and giving Traci something to do. so many opportunities like that are missed.

Traci is Billy’s sister not his aunt 😂. But I do like your suggestion.

Well, dropping the character of Allie on this soap is dumb. And it shows Josh Griffith only had the intentions of using the character to prop to return of Diane Jenkins. Kesley Wang is a fantastic hire, and he has wasted her. And Rory Gibson going to recurring wasn't a surprise the moment they got Michael Mealor back.

I second this.

It also seems like they missed an opportunity to make her a specialist character, doctor, chemist, PR, she needs something to add value to the cast rather than just being a romantic lead.  I mean Abby and Lily as high school educated power-brokers is ridiculous, so it would be nice to have a woman outside of the business realm.   I also wish they wrote her with a bit more humor, she is joining this family that is totally nuts as an outsider, and would have been fun to have her react more often.

Allie was a chemist, as she had recently graduated with her master's in chemistry, and she and Ashley were bonding over their shared professions. But, with the Jabot lab likely no longer in operation, I believe we saw her more at Noah's tacky club than at her workplace. Even though they could've shown her walking around the Jabot office set in her lab coat, sharing ideas with Jack, etc.

100%. Again, Griffith only brought her on to prop the return of Walters' Diane. Beyond that, I don't believe he had/has a single clue how to handle Allie.

They are [!@#$%^&*]-scared of writing for any new generation, let alone a non-white one.

I third it.

 

It does feel like such a wasted opportunity because she had been nicely developed up until now. I liked her bonding with Traci and having major similarities to Ashley. They could have gone more into that even moreso since she wanted to prove her worth in business and not just have it handed to her. 

 

I think her humor was coming along slowly. I definitely would have love to see more reactions out of her to what is going on with the Abbotts. She could be the Marilyn Munster if you will.

I'm confused.

When SOD previews that Ashley is returning home, where does she live the rest of time and how does she have time to drop in to Genoa City whenever inspiration strikes?
