It was that weird Ron period where he thought he'd try to make the Cheetwood brothers a thing lol.

I remember him being a teacher and Lulu thinking he was a criminal or something?  But he was just a decent guy.  Stupid

I don't mind Lulu being a journalist tbh.  I never felt Lulu had the passion that Maxie did for fashion/cosmetics.  Since she was working at a magazine it's not the worst pivot for her to go into investigative journalism.  It's not like Sasha, the supermodel, randomly becoming a cook.

No writing change to my recollection... just a different direction, or finally deciding one altogether. The exits of Dev, Dustin & Lulu were call about one-year into the regime of Chris Van Etten & Dan O'Connor, so I don't think it was a decision made by them. My guess? Either Valentini or Disney ABC said "fix your budget," and those three exited and the Floatin' Rib set were collateral. One regular, two recurring and a set? Makes sense.

Looks like I’m still not going to like Kristina for the foreseeable future. She’s gone from being shocked that her dad is a criminal to now wanting her criminal father and his Hitman to kill Ava.

Wow don’t tell me Sonny was actually right about Cates

Very good to hear coming from you.

Hmmmmm

 

A waste for sure.

 

Totally. With his FOINE short self.

 

But journalist doesn't mean boring. It's all in how it plays out. And I felt Lulu was at least good at it.

 

And then look at Alexis. I thought her becoming a publisher was a much ado about nothing and so odd, but as it went on, it had some meat to it and potential for story. She grew. And that made her potential return to being a lawyer so fascinating to watch. I wish PM was still around because I wanted to see if this would be a dilemma for her since she was good at both jobs. 

Ahhhh! I see. 

 

Makes a good case for the Rules, too, given COD always came across more old school.

It was a mess, but those were some of the best scripts the show has had in a decade. Not that it matters now, but uncredited he gave KM and DZ the material to make their families seem like actual people, and their relationship felt real. He gave Nina a brain and a purpose beyond begging for Sonny to take her back. There was good in there.

    • Oups!! I guess when i was doing the editing, i left a part of 3169, too (RTL Lounge airs 2 episodes per day back to back). Sorry about that ! Tonight i ll try to record 3171-3172. If i m not mistaken 3172 is missing from YouTube.

    • I would put Felicia in the 'small dose' auntie category because she means well, but comes on too strongly at times.  In small doses, she would be a blast to hang out with.. but in anything larger than a small... she would be exhausting. I tend to prefer lower key people than people that are always 'on' all the time.  Those people can veer off into energy vampire status pretty quickly.
    • I didn't like the Harry story, but Nazar did have a great introduction. He was probably the highlight of last year.  Now that you mention it, I guess the truly dire stories (Nicole, Harper/Drew/Phil, Nicole) didn't start until summer.
    • thank you all for contributing to the Vault. I am slowly getting towards watching the 1998 episodes

    • I pray⏤and I know it's a big prayer⏤that Noel Maxam is somehow able to figure things out budget-wise so we can stop re-dressing existing sets as "new" sets. I know in apartment buildings apartments can generally look the same, but I'm over it on this soap. The last time he was executive producer was in 2011 when the original Horton Town Square was introduced, and we had some other sets get introduced around this time (likely pre-commissioned prior to his election), but I'm trying to have some hope he can pull this off. Let's [finally] see it.
    • Definitely not the best of RC's breakdowns. I don't know what it says that I could pick up his trademarks yesterday 30 minutes in without even knowing that he did one. There was something more...quirky/boardstroked...about Dani. Though I love the Dani/Nicole scenes, she was just a little too hip?...which made me think back to the episode when she broke into Bill/Hayley's house. Then watching the episode later on, I saw Hayley was being used as a punchline to the more interesting and relevant Bill/Ted scenes (see you all were just talking about how you hoped they got scenes...one thing this show is great at...what people want on this board...they already have the foresight for it. The reason I feel the DNA test will get mentioned @Cheap21 in more detail). And then poor Anita reduced for the most part propping up an album.    Needless to say, not my favorite RC episode. And since we are in aftermath week, I just smh. And barely worth a rewatch. BUT...was there good for me?    Yes. Thankfully, we still got good aftermath beats regardless of the breakdown.   Like I said, I really like the Dani/Nicole scenes. But I love their dynamic. And I was looking forward to the shoe being on the other foot once the SilkPress storyline hit climax. Quirks aside, it did not disappoint. Dani came in, and she came in fierce for her sister. I loved her attacking Eva. And then her being surprisingly introspective about Nicole due to her own experience. No wonder Nicole reacted to her being self-aware. So did I.    Meanwhile Bill and Ted finally met up. I'm kinda sad that we did not get that sooner given the scenes that played out sidepiece in the background aside. It might have been interesting to see more of their status as non-Duprees coming into the family explored.    And of course I can't leave without mentioning Eva vs SilkPress Sheila which was the highlight. Both of them were giving. And SilkPress was just so cold with it. I did love that Eva finally stopped letting her gaslight her. Sad to see the duo break up. But I did love that she went to Ted. So...the next turn begins.   And speaking of turns...uh oh at Kat and Tomas. I'm sure he won't be staying away from her. So most definitely, Kat vs Eva ain't over. It will be interesting to see how it goes now that most people know that Kat was right all along. 
    • Nah I enjoyed it much more last year because of the Harry plot that ended during that time. Nazar being introduced and them. But this time it is so lame and nothing I like forward to anymore and I’m one of them long time fans. Of course I would be upset if they would cancel it but maybe take a year off or two and return refreshed 
    • came across this quote that provides some context: “It’s hard to escape the cultural reach of the Catholic Church when you live in the Western world. It is, for better or worse, one of the load-bearing walls of our civilization. Its influence wafts from the church into the streets of civic life, the courts, the schools, the arts.”
