Fortunately, this is a posture that is totally acceptable for soap fans. 

Nina is totally lock, stock & barrel the product of major inheritance. Her inheritance was so massive that her pitiful excuse for a mother nearly killed her trying to get it for herself. 

And, I offer here to agree to disagree.

One thing that Carly did was to make it possible for Sonny to seem to be this remarkable family man. But it's Carly who is really good with kids and also with other people. 

I believe that aspect of Sonny is something PM/EK is going to take away. Sonny can be the mobster but he's losing that heart of gold crap & also isn't going to be wandering around town giving sage advice!! (Hated that!)

The only other thing I want to say is thank Soap Jesus that Jane Elliot found she needed insurance. Apparently that's why she came out of retirement, as others have done before her. Now I think she is staying because she's having fun playing this Tracy but something had to get her there!

Honestly if Valentin never appeared again I wouldn't even notice lol.  I completely forget about him and then he shows up and I wonder why he still is on this show.

I am not complaining but it is a bit weird they built so much up with Charlotte and she just......disappeared.  

Hopefully Lulu comes out of that coma soon.

Yeah, with it seeming like he and Anna are never ever getting back together hehe (c) Tay Swift, and nothing Cassandine really on the horizon or needed and sitting here catching up as I work out, a case could be made for he's being written out as I type. But I honestly feel like a lot of the cast are dead man/woman walking right now and what we are watching on screen is PM/EK setting up for their exits and making them count rather than just coming in and people being written out abruptly. I can respect that. Honestly...who would miss him besides Alexis, Nina, and Laura? That's how not connected to the canvas Val kinda is.

 

And of course, that does leave an opening in for PM/EK to bring back someone who would be connected to the canvas...Laura's daughter (and dare I hope her son as well). She has a son, a daughter who was just getting story before the writing change, and an ex that still loves her and has a more organic relationship with a new woman who has connections to the canvas. I mean...it writes itself.

 

Lulu...just needs to...wake up.

I was surprised to hear Finola (Nominee Zoom last week) say that she & JPS hope that Vanna will be back together soon. The last I recall it was said that Charlotte was off somewhere in a private hospital recuperating. I have trouble picturing Anna forgiving him. 

Tomorrow is Episode 30 for PM/EK & also the first day of Sweeps. I always like it when I feel GH wins Sweeps. I detested that May when the 2 big events were protecting Marshall's clarinet in a rumble in an alley & Brando & Sonny changing the spark plugs on a classic car! I figure the judging of the "New Writing" will automatically become more important. By the fans, yes, but also by their bosses. It's also Taggert MIA Day 202 but clearly only a handful of fans care. I realized I forgot one rumor I've heard & it is the only one that is likely to be true. 

Spoiler

Supposedly Dan O'Connor is suing the show.

I am not really surprised.  Finola probably just likes working with JPS.  From what I have seen they have always been quite complimentary of one another.  I don't take that as a sign the show will pair them again.

I recall hearing Charlotte was getting help, but I find it weird she just entirely disappeared for most of the fallout.  Again, I am not complaining nor do I need Charlotte period, but the show did seem to be setting her and Jake up as a couple and the Victor "brainwashing"/tarot cards/letters stuff seemed to all be quickly dropped.   

We also never see Georgie and I thought she was being set up for the teen scene as well.  All those boys need at least one girl to go after.  Although, I wouldn't be surprised if Emma was brought back.

Me, too. 

Agree. Charlotte vanishing was odd but I suppose it falls under the "New Writers" heading. Girls are currently badly underrepresented & I would love having Emma back! I don't have a feeling about Georgie. My main memory of her was them moving heaven & earth & getting planes or boats to get her to be with Spinelli on a holiday. Incredible waste of a script. Enjoyed seeing Ellie.

Well, considering them becoming a thing mostly happened off screen, it's not much of a loss for anyone.    I always think Charlotte/Jake are related because of Lucky/Lulu, but I obviously know Jason is his dad.  I just imagined they spent a lot of family holidays together so it's a little creepy.

If Drew and Nina are really going to become a thing, which seems very likely at this point, then Drew's attitude really needs to change at some point because otherwise I'm not going to buy whatever "romance" these writers are trying to peddle between these two. Drew needs to have a legitimate reason to even like Nina as a person, let alone love her, because all I'm getting from him right now is nothing but utter contempt and disgust.

      Brook Lynn has been working my last nerve for at least 2 weeks. I was so relieved when she blurted out her teen queen story to her grandmother who is the most wonderful person in the entire world!

      Just caught up and these episodes were absolutely amazing! Ambyr Michelle was soooooooooo good, and I felt so bad for Eva, I actually teared up. I love that Andre was nice to her, that was my favorite Andre moment of the series thus far.

      I don't need to warn you that if you like this & want to keep it download it. Now, isn't she positively amazing?!!! Well, IMO she is. This is only the first episode that I've got her in. I think there will be more.

      All true, and all an enormous problem on this show. -- The business stories are maddening because none of it makes any sense, none of it has any connection to the real world. As you said, sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers, and job switching is not a storyline. -- The deck chairs are constantly rearranged on the Titanic -- that's what this show is. Summer, Chelsea, Sally, and Chloe have been in design for how long? And we've never seen ANYTHING from them. Carrying around an iPad isn't enough. BOLD is terrible, but at least they show us dresses from Kohls and jewelry from Amazon. -- I know it's baked into the DNA of the show, but I will never enjoy seeing Jabot and Newman treat each other as if no other companies exist in the entire world. A new magical line of cosmetics is not going to bring down a company like Jabot. -- This is a writing problem, not a budget problem. An enormous amount of cash is not needed to write compelling business stories and show real products. This is writer LAZINESS.

      Right? GOD FORBID Vanessa be allowed to cut her own mother-in-law down to size, when REVA REVA REVA needs a rival to sharpen her claws on. RME I mean, they could have, but Long and Curlee (like most HW) seemed to forget about characters once they left town. If they mentioned Trish five times in the ten years she was gone, I'd be surprised.  Yeah, Alex didn't really do friendship, other than Lillian. And most of the time, Henry.  And somehow, by the time she leaves, Sonni is some friend of Mo's? Mo is just everyone's default "friend". SMH.

      I really have no problem with Kai as a character or with the actor. The problem is putting together two very nice people -- Kai and Trina. Neither of them has a bad side, neither of them has a devil on the shoulder, neither of them is impulsive. I think that's a problem in a soap relationship. Yeah, I agree. All this freaking out might make sense if Lulu wanted to do a tabloid expose on BLQ's LOVE CHILD. We have no indication that's the case.

      So Sonni would have somebody to talk to who she wasn't conspiring with (Will or Alan)? Alex kept telling Sonni how important her friends were...when she had virtually no friends. Instead they created loyal servants like Jane and Vera to give Alex people to play off of. They did that with Iris on AW, but Vivien was mostly there for comic relief Alex keeping Marah's paternity a secret was absurd. But I still love the scene between Alex and Alan where he convinces her by reminding her how they protected each other from their abusive father. Chris and Bev ATE that scene. Unfortunately, that took place only a few months before he exited the show...always thought they could have built on that, explored more how being Brandon's children screwed them both up. Maybe even used it as an explanation for the way their relationship could constantly swing from hatred to love. Instead of it being merely dictated by the plot.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By Xanthe · Posted

      The first one is Cass Winthrop dressed as Krystle Lake on Another World (not from his original creation of the character to hide from the loan shark Tony the Tuna, but at a romance convention trying to find out what had happened to Felicia who was missing). The second one is also Another World, Jake McKinnon as Doris although I don't recall what his purpose was.
