Like...I can't.  You don't agree with me that's fine.  But personally attacking me about AZ's voting is just why?  She's an adult woman that has the right to decide how she wants to vote.   I have stated over and over again that's not my take.   But for real, for real it's not like AZ is a one women show putting Trump in office.  There's like so many layers to this and I rather talk about how CUTE Lani/Eli's twins are.

Eh, I can kind of see how her personality might sort of rub people the wrong way and she can be a bit much at times, but that's fine. At least from what I can see on her social media and interviews, she actually tries to be a decent human being and there are so many awful and horrible people in this world as is and she's a fresh breath of air in comparison. 

And like I said before on another post, I don't think Theresa should be a long term character anyway, especially with the writing that she's been given as of late. She needs to appear for brief pop-in visits every once in a while and meddle in her son's love life. 

Don't forget that she is also raising four young kids all under the age of 10, with her youngest being about 2-years-old.

It is not a very current reference, but after I Love Lucy, Lucille Ball played Lucy Carmichael, and Gale Gordon played Theodore Mooney aka Mr. Mooney, the manager of the bank where Lucy worked on The Lucy Show.

Meanwhile, we've never seen or heard from Rita, (EJ's secretary), since RonC returned.  Never mind Jen Lilley, #bringbackRita.  She was a hoot.

Rita's appearance was so random. I wonder if the scabs had some greater plan there? I thought her scenes with EJ felt very forced but I'm even more confused that there was no follow-up.

The Juneteenth stuff today was sweet, but it was tough to watch James Reynolds's hand shaking so badly as he pulled out his phone to read the phone. I'm surprised they didn't find an alternative to that (or, if you're going to show it, address it -- I know that can be difficult and sensitive when it's the actor's real life business, but there's an honesty and vulnerability in writing that stuff in, as well).

At the very least, Rita should've been the one to tell EJ that Kristen was voted in as CEO.

And given her exasperation over EJ, imagine how it might've been to watch her interact with Kristen.

I'm a big fan of soap's incidental characters like assistants, cooks, and housekeepers.  And now that they can allow more people to film to together, it would be nice to see more of those folks to fill in all the blank spaces in Salem.

BTW was Melinda the DA for two days in their universe's time?  I hope she's getting severance, and holiday pay, given that Paulina fired her on a federal holiday.  Of all the story corrections post strike, I'm surprised the RonC wanted to make sure that EJ was the DA again.  It was never a well considered plot point.

Gotta admit, I like the newbies… even though the actor playing Aaron still needs some work lol they’re all charming in their own ways. 

And I guess they needed a new sweet, adorable doctor now that Tripp is gone. 

They were all used pretty well today and I think it was a good idea to have Mark be the one who convinced Nicole to let Holly go to prom.  And an even better idea that Sophia overheard Tate’s intentions and tipped off Theresa. That could lead something good happening. 

Still not sure about Leo Howard though. I don’t think he’s a bad actor but his Tate is just so different from what we’ve seen. I mean, this is the same kid that was just locked up in a halfway house? He seems too much like a frat boy… or a Ford brother lol 

I still like the Tate/Holly/Aaron/Sophia quad though and I hope we see them a lot over the summer. 

As for Stefan, he was just annoying today and needs to go away.

I wonder if they just hired Rita to fill space in scenes with EJ?  She was great, but I really think she was just meant to pad scenes for the day.  Otherwise, why drop her all together?

@AbcNbc247The boy that plays Aaron is rough lol. But he's kind of cute in a dorky way lol.  I imagine he'll be recast shortly.

Ew, I don't like Aaron at all!!! 

So, what was that about with the show not ending with the usual do-to-do-do

Please register in order to view this content

musical phrase. Instead it ended with this song, "Show Me The Way To Your Heart!" I was amazed. 

It was an okay day. I still really want to drop-kick Stefan into the next county but we're just going to have to put up with Little Porn Stache. 

I think it's just a fact of life with this show that there's constantly going to be one or more characters that we're all sick to death of. I wonder why that is. 

I'm tempted to say it's a Ron Thing. We should work on some canonical lists like What Are Real Ron Carlivati Things? #1 ... You think? Sounds like fun!!!

Aaron isn't that bad of a character lol.  Acting just might not be for him.

Ron isn't as bad as FV with keeping characters/actors way too long.  He just favors the wrong characters (Leo).  I question his taste level a lot.  I don't necessarily think he's doing BB or GR solids because he's friends with them as I think FV did with Roger and currently Michael Easton.  I genuinely think Ron thinks Leo is hilarious and Stefan is a good grey character.

      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.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      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

      All My Children Tribute Thread

      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.
