Ron could have changed the entire Leo/Dmitri/Gwen narrative if Leo or Dmitri just let Gwen in on the plan.  Instead of making Leo/Dmitri evil the show could have Gwen agree to the marriage and wacky hijinks and schemes would ensue.  It could have been a fun side story.  I personally don't think I would have liked it much, but at least it saves Dmitri and Leo from character destruction and gives Gwen something more lighthearted to do.  There was just a less ugly way to tell this story if we had to tell it. 

Welcome to the board @BeeLol!

Two random questions running through my brain this morning

  1. Does Melinda know that Li is dead?
  2. Is Gwen in Alamania and has she interacted with Megan?
    1. Megan told Rolf that the Dimitri failed to get his inheritance from the marriage, and Gwen left to get her part of the inheritance, so I wonder if they met?

Remember that very unfunny scene where Leo impersonated Gwen so that the Von Leuschner attorney would think they were married?  Didn't the lawyer see through their scam and told Dimitri that he felt Dimitri's love for Leo (barf), but he had to stay married for a year, and he would check back in later, then give him his money?

  1. So, how does Megan know that Dimitri failed to get the inheritance (because he hasn't actually failed yet)?
  2. And I recall the flashback of how Gwen found out Dimitri was cheating, but was Kristen the one to tell her about the inheritance?

I ask all of this because I assume Gwen's return will coincide with the conclusion of Dimitri's story (there's been no goodbye post from PP on social media, a good clue that he'll pop up again).

The lawyer turned out to be gay & was persuaded that they had a real love & granted him his inheritance & put into place his getting the first installment & other installments were to follow. We the audience don't have any knowledge about any subsequent installments.

Kristen told Gwen that Dimitri was cheating with Leo & Gwen claimed that she already knew. We the audience do not know if Gwen was being truthful or not about already knowing. But, she did tell Kristen of things that happened & alleged that this & that caused her to first be suspicious & then to know.

Oh, goodness, no, he's been here forever & has spent untold amounts of burned calories dogging my posts & trying to make my life miserable. He very very frequently posts something, anything that puts him in a position of being 2% against 98%. If most of the people in a given thread were asserting a blue sky he'd appear out of nowhere & post 3 lines where he made it clear that any idiot could see that the sky is kelly green.

I've been watching soaps for forty years, I can tolerate flawed human beings who make one awful decision after another (some of my favorite characters). My issue with Leo is the trying too hard to be clever dialogue. If I want to roll my eyes at a gay man's failed witticisms, I'll go to a drag show. I'd like to see a gay heavy written like Xander for instance.

  Please send me to the Leo fan posts-I missed them.  But go wild with your Leo love.  I am just curious if you thought your post was slightly baiting or did you just not have time to read this entire thread?   I just tend to be pretty suspect of people who come in and out of this board with extremely contrary opinions.  No harm, no foul.  I am not looking for a silly fight over Leo.  Not worth my time.

An interesting view, Pollyanna!

Indeed! they missed the car on making Leo likeable after the Diana debacle back in 2019 with zero change in him! By now, a better writer would've written Leo off into the sunset, i would send both him and Dimitri to prison! Better yet, A brazilian Prison so they couldn't be together! (Here if you have a diploma you are treated to a solo cell while the rest mingles together!)

    • I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
