POSITIVES.

1. On first look, it seems to have all the storylines and variety that I think we need for the show to be commercially successful. Some of them are clearly there to grab the viewers attentions - slaps, throwing stuff around - just a trick and I love it.

2. The acting so far looks to be on a great level. Especially from the leads. TAMARA Tunie is stealing every shot she is in and she looks SPECTACULAR. 

3. From what we've seen of the dialogue - witty, iconic stuff! 

4. Wardrobe is sublime. I am very very impressed.

NEGATIVES.

1. The overall lighting and the slightly artificial look that it gives it at certain moments. I think this will improve with time. It's better than DAYS-brightness, but slightly worse than Bold in terms of being too bright  Maybe I should see it on a different screen, but on my huge monitor that is hooked to the laptop... some scenes looked SOOOOO BRIGHT that my eyes were close to watering. This is just first impressions thing. 

OVERALL -  I AM SCREAMING WITH HAPPINESS.

Tamara Tunis looks like a queen throughout the entire extended promo. I loved the soapy window shot of her towards the end of the extended promo. 

Julie Hannan Carruthers’ pre-LA AMC was similarly lit - in this situation, though, I hope it’s more of a case of them being new, trying to find their own signature look, and making easy/fixable changes with more feedback/time.

This is why I'm not b*tching about the lighting. Years of being [cough-forced-to-see-cough] used to the Rauch Philosophy of Grossly Overlighting the Stage, the Actors, the Uniforms I force them to wear, ...

And, now, of course, I watch DAYS which is apparently lit by candles that were on sale ...

If it doesn't change, which I hope it does... I'll just have to watch with corrected brightness-contrast settings on my TV. It will make everything look so much better. Not that reality-tv-bright stuff. 

I don't see anyone "Bit-ching" about lighting. Just saying our opinions. There is no chance that all I'm going to to is SCREAM YEY in this topic and close my eyes to stuff that I don't like. I'm not that kind of person. These things need to be expressed and this feedback needs to be given in time.

It resembles what TOLN had with AMC/OLTL, and I also think it's to avoid over-shadowing the actors. The lighting does not need changing; if anything, some work in post could be done.

Some [light] changes in the brightness/contrast of the clips from CBS Sunday Morning:

Sometimes, for soaps, when they let JPI Photography or the network photographers on set for promotional stuff, the lighting is different in those shots than when the episodes are finally edited for airing

Andre to Dani

"For one night, let me remind you of who we still are."

I take it that they had a long-term relationship and it ended, or she was cheating with Andre just as Bill was cheating with Hayley.

This leads me to believe even more that Bill and Andre are half-brothers. Same father.

You incorrectly assume here that my use of the word b*tching is somehow a criticism of people offering constructive criticism. I assure it is not. It's a perfectly good word. And, I literally used it about myself. Although it is true that one could make an inference. To sum up, I do see people bit*hing about the way the program is lit but I happen to think it's justified.

      What consequences are there to suffer? He didnt commit any crime and everyone already hates him. If anything this will set back the progress he's made with Naomi

      Yes and I also loved how she focused on Chelsea and Naomi when she spilled Bill's involvement in all of this.

      OH, I AM.   And it looks like it's a pretty good episode so I might watch later on this weekend after work cuz I see a lot of scenes with people I actually like. Very happy to see Rocco/Danny appear to be getting story, too.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      I do agree that a revival of EON would work, if it doesn't fall into doing all of the typical soap opera tropes... which it became guilty of in the final few years of the show with the over abundance of Raven/Sky at the expense of the actual detectives, police, etc. And I know it was mentioned earlier that Raven had lost any true connections on the show with the death of her on screen mother, and the loss of April/Draper/Deborah.. and I do agree with that. I actually thought the show would have done something with the Shelley character that could have connected her to the Raven character.  There were a few scenes where the two would have scenes and size one another up before they would go their separate ways.. so I assumed perhaps they would have been revealed as half-siblings and/or perhaps cousins.  Alas.. not to be.

      It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.'

      And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.

      @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.

      Part of the reason that Courtney worked at OLTL was because the show had an actual character for her to play.  One that was somewhat different than her character on AW, and after the way she was treated over at AW.. it had to have been nice to be courted onto a new soap that actually valued your contributions.
