I have waited *years* for this, and it didn’t disappoint. Rena Sofer and Amanda Setton have got the mother-daughter dynamic nailed, and RS’s adversarial chemistry with Jane Elliott is still there in spades. BLQ’s facial expressions during the Lois/Tracy exchange were gold…

I didn't see Lois's original run but with the dates involved, was there much time for Jane and Rena to overlap in story? It looks like late June - early October 1996 would've been the only time they were both on the show at the same time?

Did Jane have a lot of story with the second Lois?

IIRC, Tracy was instrumental in driving Rena's Lois out of town and out of Ned's life in '96, when she came back and made her life hell. They clashed over Ned, everything blew up and both characters left town within days of each other.

Lesli Kay's Lois and Tracy did overlap in the 2000s but I assume their scenes were minimal. I have no idea if they shared any at all but NuLois was a C-level character at that time.

Rena is on contract per closing credits of Friday October 13.
I guess it's a short contract?

Rena said that she had been preparing to move to the East Coast with her husband.  She got this opportunity to reprise Lois on GH before she leaves Los Angeles.  It was not stated how long she is remaining in L.A.

"But with this Eddie Maine story happening, it just really seemed like an absolutely perfect time to have Lois come back for a short amount of time to try to get Eddie to remember that he’s Ned. So Frank reached out to me and asked me if I’d be willing to come back for a short amount of time and I said yes."  <snip>  "the story isn’t about me. The story is about Brook Lynn. The story is about Eddie Maine and Ned, so I need to respect that. This is not about me coming back and telling my story; this is about me coming back and supporting the stories that are there with me trying to create the knowledge of who Lois is now, 27 years later. So that is challenging, but also, part of the fun"

I mentioned this on the B&B thread:
Interestingly, on Friday Oct. 13, the new B&B opening photo credits debuted without Rena for the first time since she left in summer 2022.
On the same day that she began appearing in the contract section of GH closing credits.

So, I guess that means you think Cyrus's conversion was genuine? I would bet not. 

I want Montague to do jail time & lose his license. Gladys may need to testify. Of course, that nurse can. 

I wonder if Michael will apologize to Ned. Of course, Ned's NEddie now so mebbe not. 

Does GH do fall sweeps? I'm wondering if there's any reason to hold off on revealing Nina as the whistleblower.

Damn, Blaze got to Puerto Rico really quickly 

I’d like to see her and Kristina as a couple, but not before Kristina has a one night stand with Dex first

And I’m glad the show finally remembered of Mac being Cody’s father.  Cody’s actually grown on me, but yeah, I wasn’t really a fan of his pity party today lol 

And, shut up, Michael

I like Cody, but yeah, that reason he gave for not wanting Mac to know he is his father was really weak, and didn't make much sense. Because he's not worthy??? How does that change the facts???

I don't think Josh Kelly bought it either. He's usually committed to playing whatever they give him, but I thought he tried to hide a grin through that awful excuse.

      Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.

      Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.

      I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube.

      Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her

      @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

      https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.
