I said she's unapologetic, which she is but..
after that Kyle/Audra convo, he leaves and then
Audra texts him an apology "I handled that badly"
but I mean ... it's obviously just another manipulation from her.

 


I almost never root for villains but Zuleyka's Audra is mesmerizing!

She is! I love Audra. I REALLY want to know her backstory. Her charms though are totally due to the actress and the way she elevates the material.

As cheesy as this Clarie stuff is, I'm kind of loving it. I just wished they would have stretched it out a bit more before reaching this point. Really let her get in with the Newmans first. I truly have no idea what the hell is her motive, and I'm curious.

Talk about curious, but....half of Geneoa City lives in ONE hotel room at the Athletic Club, but Claire's aunt gets a house AND a bedroom!

A poster on another site was claiming this new set was Sharon's cottage redressed!

It is a nice cottagey set, if not a little over decorated. Maybe bits and pieces of other sets have been used. There are echoes of the Williams house with the door and staircase and the windows look a bit like the old Rawlins/Carlton house-who knows?

One think I liked was the sofa-a contrast to the cheap bulky number in the Chancellor set.

DC: I'm so happy you brought up her being a schemer! She's really she felt like an old-school soap vixen. What do you think of Audra being the return of a classic soap character?

ZS: I don't know where I read that before. I've heard that a few times already, and I think it's a compliment, right? I've been getting a few messages from fans telling me, “You remind me so much of old-school Jill (Jess Walton)!”

It was great to see Colleen Zenk again on TV. I just realized she was reunited with producer Vivian Gundaker and director Michael Eilbaum.

The rest of the show was so dull  Nina, Jill and Mamie wasted on generic meaningless stories.

So Heather and her daughter are back in Geona City yet no Paul.

I'd recast Paul.

I think they suddenly brought back Vail Bloom as Heather first to take over as Phyllis' attorney when CLB took leave for cancer treatment; and I speculate that they kept her on because of Christel Khalil eventually taking maternity leave.

Lucy has so many connections in town and I think the actress Lily Brooks O'Briant does a good job, and would be great if Griffith actually *wrote* a teen storyline but ... he probably won't.

I don't know if they'll ever address that Lucy's biomom was Daisy and her biograndmother is Sheila. 

I'm fine with Heather being the stepmom who raised Lucy, and Phyllis being the annoying grandmother, LOL.

    • Wasn't there talk of them bringing back Rita as Gus' mother at one point? Or something?
    • I think they are a part of the same family, although Carla was never really scheming for the same reasons, and once her double life was exposed, she stopped. 
    • Rachel/Ada, Mona/Erica, a mother/daughter at LOVING, these are all examples of the Agnes Nixon "troublesome daughter/put upon mother" trope. Are Carla/Sadie by any chance one of the pairs that make up this trope? Another thing that these 2 shows might have in common. OLTL had a very strong thematic approach to socioeconomic differences between groups of people. Class differences. AW at an earlier point had this too but to be clear it was not as much as OLTL. So that is a similarity but marginal.  Besides that, I see no other comparable things. Paul Rauch was a very different EP at different shows. Oh, I've thought of one more thing. Using actors from the Broadway stage.  But, realistically that was something all of the NY shows had in common. So I don't think it has any uniqueness between AW & OLTL.  
    • When you look at the period between Sweeps, it's as if they tried to maintain a kind of pace where they had a lot of plates spinning in the air & on their fingertips & the whole goal was nothing but to not drop any of those plates. A version of spinning one's wheels. They're not getting anywhere but they give the appearance of a whole lot of activity. I believe it's all about this appearance. At moments they accidentally hit a chord & something resonates but it is a false event.

    • I’m not speculating anything, but I admit, I’m getting a little worried about James Reynolds. 
    • I feel like this is what they're doing by creating lots of storylines but their biggest weakness for years is the inability to properly pace these stories and give resolution. A good example now would be the Gio story which has been simmering for months with very little movement. I went from not caring to being invested to not caring again because of how long it's taking for the secret to be revealed. One story like that would be fine but it seems like everything moves at this snails pace on GH. They need to do a better job of rotating the stories so everything isn't in that same treading water phase.
    • However, those of us who watch DAYS have been spoiled. On Peacock there are no preemptions. Not for anything & not in or about any show.  I read somewhere that we Baby Boomers in a way invented instant gratification but then we realized that it was not fast enough.
    • The title track from the follow-up album Hot On the Trail is also co-written by Val Jean:
