Now I'm wishing she would ask EB for his favorite curse word, or what MTS hopes to be the first words she hears when she arrives in Heaven.

Well, I can't say that Audra is wrong. Tucker/Devon are wash, rinse, repeat these days. But I would be down for Tucker taking Billy down. He is overdue a fall.

 

I really can't believe that Jill gave (most of) her control over to Billy. I was glad that the writers spoke what most fans would say in the form of Esther...who has Two jobs. How does she have the time to be receptionist at CW and manager over at Crimson Lights? I was surprised to see her. Still...it better not be the last time we see Jill.

 

Vicious Lily with Daniel was fun to watch.

 

Ashley and the battle of the Alters continues to be my main storyline. It occurred to me that I cannot believe none of the Abbotts really have a clue when the wardrobe speaks for itself, but I have to give credit to the costume designers because when Southern Belle Ash is out and about, it's not the the clothes aren't things that Ashley would wear, but they are very bright and colorful. And that's a line to walk and I feel that it's subtle so I do like it. And now 'Cain' has said it on-air...DID. But again...all this over a small argument in Paris??? Just smh.

 

I continue to enjoy the Audra/Sally friendship. And interesting backstory about Audra wanting to be an artist. Makes more sense to why she would have liked Noah to me.

Ashley’s alters do everything in their power to act nothing like normal Ashley and the Abbott’s are just completely unaware

 Her own daughter still has no clue.

LOL personally I’m ready for it to end. Had it be written in reverse and had better plotting, it may have been an exciting May Sweeps as we would have just been finding out who Jordan and Claire are after months of committing various minor sabotage acts towards the Newmans without raising suspicions.

 

Due to end of the school year work (giving and grading final exams is worse than taking them lol) and got a bit behind @Taoboi but I was so happy to see Nate & Audra sharing scenes again from today’s episode that I caught.

I don't know, nothing about the Nate/Audra pairing gives me lasting new couple vibes. Just feels like Josh Griffith decided to throw attractive people together for a little while.

Worse is that the "business story" stuff continues to be awful.

No one does any work. We never see any products or hear about what they do. All we get is board member infighting about changing the name of the company and about who's in charge. None of it works, none of it makes any sense.

Okay, I thought that was a more decent week than I feel the comments I glanced here said. I just think it's a shame that the momentum from Billy's power play was lost weeks ago because Devon and Lily trying to power play past Jill was awesome. I was surprised at how much I was expected. And it would be nice to see that friction continue between Devon and Abby who have been without drama for long enough. And she should be bothered that Devon and Lily only assumed she would vote for them. It was a good use of Abby's history of being split between two families...something they really don't do with Abby often enough if at all.

 

Lord at Audra being so insecure. If she knows Tucker as well as she thinks she does, she knows how important his relationship with Devon is. So her fits are just that...fits. But any excuse to jump Nate's bones I guess...lol.

 

Finally!!! Kyle standing up for himself with Summer. Let's keep this going. Cuz MM and AL are giving.

 

I found this...and Ashley's storyline...great and flowing. So the Jordan storyline popping up on Friday was so jarring to story flow. No matter how much I love Victor torturing that witch. 

 

@soapfan770 papers!! lord...I don't miss that. lol. But I understand. Work and finishing my latest has keep me away from posting, but keeping up as best I can.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
    • Thanks. I'm glad we have some fan memories of these years as this is such a typically snide take on the genre. It's also poorly written and reminds me a great deal of the tedious "snark" recaps that became popular in the '90s. The end in particular. The 1979/80 stuff I have seen is much more polished than a number of soaps at the time. It was very easy to watch and not too bogged down in past story.  Margo is played by Ann Williams, who was on what seemed like every soap. I think she said Margo was her favorite role.  These episodes aren't consecutive, but if you ever have time, they are worth a watch. They are bits and pieces from January and April of 1979 - April in and out of prison, her past calling to her via her psychic powers (and the suicide of Miles' wife Denise, who had murder framing in mind). April 1979 has the end of Winter Austen (such a fantastic soap name).  I don't want to drop a ton of links but you can find playlists on Youtube.
    • And the rating 'wars' continue...hehe.
    • Well, it was fun while it lasted for Rebecca Herbst. Le sigh.
