Okay. I hope people are getting that this is not a choice that Costuming made for a wedding dress for BLQ. This was Lila Quartermaine's wedding dress. Perhaps in the 1930s it was very stylish. Obviously today it is, ...hideous. Am I the only person who was pleased to see a flashback with Anna Lee? 

Now, trying again, in the right thread this time.

BTW, the content in this was on a noon interview yesterday on WLS-Chicago. How fine that there's some unusual, unexpected press coverage!

Even if it was her great great great great grandma... it's still... bad... And we are living in 2024, so I think we can say how we feel about it. I see fashions from the past all the time and think they are hideous. I see fashions from the past that are AMAZING too. So being from the past is not a reason to just say Okay. I have studied Fashion for years... so I know what I like and not like. Even if I was watching the show in the 60s or 70s and saw that--- I would be disgusted. This dress is just bad, in whatever day and age.

Watching that scene, it felt like Spinelli and Sonny's relationship had regressed.  It was like the show was ignoring a good part of the progress they have made, all so that they could give a quick history lesson in advance of Jason's return.

Sonny had long since made peace with Spinelli and his oddities.  He sought out his help, independent of their shared connection through Jason.  He even counseled Spinelli at times, also independent of Jason.  And Spinelli was far more at ease around Sonny.  He reached a point where he felt he could approach him without fear.  He no longer called him "Mr. Sir" and I thought he even called him Sonny at times (although I could be wrong about that last part).

I also would like to point out how incorrect it was for Carly to say that Bobbie "knew not to chase revenge.  My mom never gave in to her worse impulses, she rose above them."  That wasn't always true.  Bobbie gave in to her worst impulses on many occasions.

You responded to me, giving me an explanation to why it is so bad and adding context.  And I gave my explanation WHY I think it is, since I didn't want people to think that I have missed the context. Since my opinion of the dress has no connection to it. 

P.S - But I understand some people may even like this dress.  And even find it beautiful. It's my own opinion it's disgusting...  but we live in a FREE world.

Blaze is a decent enough supporting player, but I said this was a mistake when FV and co. first embarked on it, clearly intending for it to be some twice or thrice a month subplot. I think she did a good job in the scenes the other day and that they were written well. I just don't think the character or this couple has much of an existing foundation. Maybe Mulcahey will change that or maybe I'll stay disinterested.

Haha!!! Well-played!! I had just mentioned the absence of Ms. Wu in this mob boss killer storyline and look who turns up!!! Though awwwww at her hottie bodyguard being the monk in her organization.

 

I meant to say it earlier, but I love Valentin and Nina as a scheme team. It's been a minute since a soap has had one outside of Tucker/Audra on Y&R off the top of my head. 

 

Poor Tracy. Finally asking someone out only for her to be too late. That said...loving the Deception storyline.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      By BoldKara · Posted

      Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.

      Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that

      Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By EricMontreal22 · Posted

      Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      Please register in order to view this content

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene 

      Please register in order to view this content

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?

      ALL: General Retro Soap Discussion

      By EricMontreal22 · Posted

      But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).

      You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.

      You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
