Sonny slamming the door on Nina made me bust out laughing. That was probably the only decent moment of the show for me. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to keep watching for this Bobbie death story cause today’s episode was even worse than the previous in terms of feeling hollow.

 

Did we really need to pause on Carly grieving to see her and Drew ream in on Nina? It wasn’t even a good dragging either, they came off awful and I say that as a proud OG Carly apologist. Laura and Cynthia did great with what they were given but yeah, it was all very womp womp


The reveal of Bobbie’s death to temp Joss and Michael also fell flat for me. Whoever said the script writing is just so generic you don’t feel a real connection with anything was spot on. RIP to characters having distinct voices

I think Maurice Bernard’s son is a decent actor. He’s obviously only on to get another IMDB credit and master script memorization but I’m intrigued. I’ll be sure to tune in for his inevitable turn to full on crazy

 

i know other stuff happened but I already forgot and I just finished watching the episode on Hulu five minutes ago. The strike writers were much better

Can someone explain the criticism of Drew today?  I get that what he said to Nina was offensive.  But, isn't the point that people around Drew have noticed a change in his personality since he was released from prison?  It felt in-keeping with the story that Drew has become unhinged, and we are meant to be shocked by his behavior.  So, I don't get this thread reaction?  Is it because it was poorly acted?

I'm honestly confused, but not trying to criticize anyone's reaction.

Not that it matters to TPTB, lol, but Jeff Branson is too young to play Drew.  At the very least, I think whoever were to succeed CM (b. 1969) as Drew should be in the same age range as he and Steve Burton (b. 1970).

And casting Trevor St. John as nuDrew would end badly.  Very badly.  Like, "Trevor lies in a pool of his own blood, as Laura Wright is escorted out of the GH studios by the LAPD" badly.

I've long believed that if mobsters needed to exist permanently on GH, then they needed to be Runyonesque.  But that doesn't mean turning Sonny "Move Out the Way So's I Can Get a Clearer Shot At My In-Labor Wife!" Corinthos into Nathan Detroit.

Haha!  He just came to my mind.  I still am not sold on a need for Drew at all.

It's just way too much.  Not only does he buy all the holiday decorations for the hospital, but didn't he fund two separate wings of that hospital (Stone's and one for Mike)?  Give me a break!  And you know I actually like Sonny.

I forgot it was on.  What's the rundown?

      GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!

      Falcon Crest

      By te. · Posted

      I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication.

      It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.

      Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime.

      Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.

      French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.

      I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up.

      I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?

      Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.

      Those Soap Central profiles have a lot of incorrect info. According to SOD summaries and the Daytime Newsletter of the time,Tim left town for a new job and Pam reunited with the father of her baby and also departed Springfield.They did not marry.
