Problem with the James/Taylor affair was it ignored for years and years but pesky fan bases and soap mags constantly brought it up. The biggest issue I had was James was never brought into the equation, and of course the following year in 2007 Thudley stepped into big time  with the Who Shot Grant revisit backfiring on him big so badly he had to write write some quickie convoluted ending to it.

 

Faux good girl turned bad girl is nothing new and Luna-tic is adequate at best.

@YRfan23 Liam’s recent appearances remind me of where Nick was in 2009 or where  Wyatt was at back in 2017 with threats that are completely unsubstantiated. In fact Liam hasn’t done much this year at all and his “big” romance with Ivy went DOA. Even though we all hate Liam appearance I’m beginning to think Liam may go the way or Nick and Wyatt soon enough.

I guess that's the one time Thudley cracked under pressure. 
 

I'm certainly hoping that happens with Liam....nothing against Scott Clifton, but at this point, what more can be done? I'd be happy with Liam and Hope reuniting quickly and both leaving town with Beth.

'B!tchy' Aunt Li [BAL] only had extreme disdain for Poppy, which seemed centered around Luna's paternity. BAL spitting so much hate led viewers to suspect it was Jack or Finn.

Now, it seems it's been common knowledge that Tom was a serious candidate for that title. Really? Even though she's awful, I doubt BAL would hate on her sister that much because she hooked up with a washed-up singer. And Lunacy knew about Tom her whole life, she's always been a gold-digger, but RJ wasn't rich enough, etc.

Then there was that weird scene with BAL + $B in her office about the paternity test.

Is it safe to say, this is a complete rewrite?

I'm not complaining because the murders gave B&B a much-needed jolt with stories actually intertwining like Steffy *leaving* after the Hope kiss. For the past two months, it hasn't been one story that dominates every episode with every character repeating exactly the same thing about that one story!

The SINN montage used today was nice I like that psychic connection kicking in again  and Finn realizing something is off with Luna.


Also was there a slight time jump lol? It felt like only a day has passed yet everyone on today was saying Steffy had been gone now for “days” like the week passed in real time lol. I can’t recall the last time a daytime soap actually did a 1 episode = 1 day concept since the mid-00’s with the  P&G soaps doing that.

Luna has been dull as dishwater since she debuted. It took a crazy Brad Bell stunt like this to make her interesting. I wish they had thought of this before instead of making all the young female characters come in as saints. They should've done a Paris/RJ/Luna triangle from the jump with Luna as the vixen trying to steal RJ from Paris. 

It's a shame she's finally interesting and they'll likely have to write her off.

And finally...it's said aloud.

 

Luna IS the killer. Well...I guess the plus to that is that the actress looks like she's going to give camp. lol. On the other hand, I guess it means that Brad Bell got tired of trying to make her and RJ happen. So does that mean RJ is leaving...or is he heading for a triangle with Will now that he's been aged up?

 

That cage in the house....lol...definitely camp.

 

So Bill and Justin DID make up off-screen? What a waste.

I finally saw the explanation episode.

 

And...that was actually plausible. Here I am thinking it might be complex because it couldn't be because Luna did not like being poor...and basically it WAS. lol. And everything lines up. Tom and when he died. Poor Hollis, which is why I figured it was Luna with that out of nowhere scene he had with Luna before Tom died. The Bill/Luna kiss. And I was happy to see Li vindicated...she's too much of a professional for me to believe she messed with the test. 

 

Uh...why is Liam here? lol. He really has not a thing to do, but pick on Finn for what he has that Liam wants. Boy, BYE.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
