Oh, yeah, Portia! Does anyone have any insight as to where that 180 came from? She looks at pictures from Trina's NY weekend getaway with Spencer & proclaims that obviously she loves him & he loves her & she is an adult & is capable of making up her own mind! Whoa! Talk about whiplash. With no warning at all, Portia dropped her overbearing, controlling, mama bear perspective where she actively disliked Spencer & definitely mistrusted him while also mistrusting Trina's level-headedness & judgment of people. Voila! I was totally amazed! I used to love Portia & now if this is sincere, I can go back to that. 

Now Michael I am ready to hang up by his thumbs! I don't mind even one bit that his impulse is to hold this over Nina's head. But the very idea that he would control who Willow saw or not is extreme & completely out of the question.

  • Is this a third horse at the stables? Maybe, if horse number one doesn't work, don't recast them... Whew... and, let me say: Josh Kelly & Sofia Mattsson have fantastic chemistry! Much more than Kelly & Kelly Thiebaud.
  • WTF do they have Jordan wearing?... that sweater looks like a kid's size with adult sized arms. C'mon, wardrobe, fix yo messy [!@#$%^&*].
  • I love how supportive Dante & Kristina are with Nina & Sonny! But Michael continues to be an insufferable piece of [!@#$%^&*]. Can he go now?
  • Josslyn working more at Kelly's? No thanks. Ugh.
  • WTF is this hair scene between Finn & Liz?? Finn acting like a damn 13-year old school girl? No thanks.
  • Stella telling Felicia to "write a check" was the ultimate, "IDGAF! This ain't my problem!" Haha. But seriously, I love seeing Felicia at G.H., but she does not belong there. Her and Anna should've opened a private investigative business together.
  • A Survivor mention? Wow. Cross-network promotion? I'm surprised. But this date sounds horrible... can someone get Finn away from Liz, please?
  • Nina, darling, you don't lie so well. Work on it, or just tell the truth. Enough is enough.
  • Oh Michael, Michael, Michael... your plan is already unraveling before your eyes, and I love it.
  • On her way to the airport... did Sasha get a dyejob and a blowout? Because, that hair is done!
  • Willow, outside of Michael, is less insufferable. I'm liking her connection with Nina, too. It's about time.
  • Michael, once again, Drew not only did NOT save Willow's life, but Nina is NOT the reason Drew is in prison, where you should be, too! Your mommy and faux daddy did some bad things. They're the wrong party, not step-mommy Nina.
  • "You're not going to lose me." Famous last words, Willow. Your death is coming.
  • This montage is so... unnecessary. Really? Such filler for a filler episode.

Some people believe that persons in heaven (or where ever) watch over their loved ones back on earth. So Harmony could be seeing that Michael is trying to control who Willow sees. 

I have a question: Who do you miss? I miss Taggart, which I said already. I miss Monica. I miss Britt & there's nothing to be done about it. I miss Brad. I missed Tracy & we got her. I missed Liesl & she appeared. I missed Laura & Kevin & they're back.

@jcar03

Since the previous episode count posts are archived, I'll reply here.
In most places they say that the babies playing Amelia Corinthos were first the Ford twins, and then Bo Harrison.

just an fyi ...  Star-Kidz has a baby actress "Siobhan" (no last name?)
playing Amelia in the July 26 episode.

I think Joss was really hurt that everyone...as expected...was falling in line with Sonny again after making such an issue about Sonny getting with Nina. But she could not help but take a dig at Kristina. 

 

It slowly appeared that the writers were setting up a Joss/Kristina (Carly's daughter vs Sonny's daughter) rivalry before LA left and KM came in...with maybe Dex in the middle. They would have brief scenes with looks and slight digs if I remember correctly. And I was here for it because I have been saying they don't use Kristina enough and she is more heir apparent to Sonny more than any of his older kids. Because Kristina as a character has sooooo much potential out of that batch of legacy kids.

I really laughed at Joss's petty, poor pitiful she perspective! I do not dislike her as many do, but I can make fun of her & her very human foibles. To me she is very real, relatable & definitely messy in the way  many soap characters are. Recently I even appreciated her & Dex & their care & concern for Ava. Also I love the way Joss is a good big sister to the two littles, Avery & Donna. The water gun fight was perfect! 

And speaking of Ava, it is killing me that she still thinks she killed Nik! All of these people know he is alive & well, but nope, noone has told Ava! She is going to be so pissed! 

Of Sonny's children, of course, I adore my namesake, Donna. But it is really Kristina & Dante that are really the very best of his kids. And they both, and each, take him just as he is. They accept him & love him. And, they don't honestly have some huge affection for Nina, but they don't need to. It is enough that she makes their Dad happy.

    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
    • What a good write-up @Errol! Nice seeing the nod to Duplaix's lead.
