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.

    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • 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.
