Gotta say it again... #PoorJagger

He got the Nina treatment, only a lot worse. I seriously wonder what the original plan was for him. Pikeman? A pairing with Carly? A pairing with Ava? The shift was so obvious and I'm still wondering why that was all approved if it was disliked so much that it got scrapped as soon as Patrick Mulcahey left. Did King Mo lead another charge against another head writer?

And it's too bad. Not only because a popular character got trashed, but because Adam J. Harrington had a lot of potential. I know some of y'all didn't like him from the very beginning, but I think he could have done really well on GH. He just never got a chance. 

But I also gotta say that, except for that blatant propaganda, these last few weeks and especially this week have been great. Honestly, the best sweeps since February 2023. There was so much depth in so many storylines and characters. They really went there and didn't hold back, in so many episodes and I'm really impressed by that. There are still some lousy stuff onscreen (Heather's thing, Deception) but it really does get overshadowed by all the good stuff that's happening. 

And of course, #Drillow 

There was a lot of tension built up between yesterday and today and it had me hooked. That's how you grab the audience and get them to keep tuning in. Somebody really ought to show those scenes to a certain former head writer (and his obsessed #1 fan) at Days.

And, if Gio does turn out to be Dante and Brook Lynn's son from 2010, that's definitely another huge rewrite by Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten. Wasn't he originally gonna turn out to be a long lost son of Drew's?

Do we know if Stone's mother is dead?  I can't recall all the details of Nightshift right now, but I didn't think Jagger said his mother was deceased.  Just not around.  Literally, with the love of baby rabies this show has the mother will pop up immediately lol.

Jagger still has a living sister as well.

LOL...Vanessa definitely brought the buzz. 

 

You make me wonder if I can find that promo. I am now curious. Perhaps some time this weekend once my work schedule settles.

Slowly catching up so good to hear you say that. And it's not even Sweeps yet lol.

I suppose. In 2010 he was not even a glimmer of an option for her.  And they spent a thousand years in Rome where Jason and Brenda would just bicker and argue and then Brenda would be like sit with me while I sleep like a weirdo.  It was an act that got old fast, but whatever.   I'd watch it now with no problem.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

    • Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
