Meh I thought maybe this Lucy/Faith stuff could have had some type of promise yet all of comes off across like a terrible after school special from 1988 or one of those “a very special tonight” episodes form the Hogan Family. 

The dialogue is very strange unnatural…made worse by unnatural and stiff acting by Graz, VB, and the Lucy actress. Compounded by the fact this is another excuse for Sharon to go unhinged talking to Cameron and go after Lucy is kind of dumb. 
 

Hate to be clichè and quote that Green Day song…but wake me up when September ends if this continues…

I was thinking that as well. Because Lucy was coming across as creepy at one point. But I'm not against it been what it has been so far...well, up until the accident...because there has not been a teen-ish story on this show in forever. 

 

For all we know she might still go crazy.

The truth of the matter is NOTHING is happening on Y&R at the moment to behind with, so there’s really not much to discuss. And compared to Ashley’s DID caper earlier this year, Sharon seeing a dead and bloody Cameron is being presented as so mundane and low energy it’s hard to even care.

I hate to see Sharon Case being wasted for this mess, yet I feel like SC isn’t bothering to bring her A-game to make it interesting (or maybe Case’s best days are long ago now)

I agree. Watching has gone back to being a chore outside of what is going on with Sharon and the occasional Traci/Alan sighting. 

 

And it's funny because it gained some momentum again a few weeks back. Now it's back to the doldrums. Meanwhile B&B has been my fun soap while GH is at least keeping me invested like a lover with something to prove.

9-3

 

The show might be a chore again, but Victor-Victoring IS NOT!!! I haven't heard anyone use a peacock metaphor to describe someone on a TV show in forever so I hollered at Victor calling Billy one since that's very much what Billy is doing. Trying to flaunt his power around and puffing out his chest as if Victor gives a frak. BOY, BYE. Victor was so unbothered and smirking and it was driving Billy crazy. LOVE those scenes. 

 

And I LOVE Lily's scenes with Victor, too. So much history there. And I was like PLLLLLEEASSS LET VICTOR HUMBLE THAT PRICK. Meanwhile, now he's getting into it with Chance? Again...BOY, BYE!! Just proving Victor was right to call him a peacock cuz no one is respecting Billy WITHOUT Lily there. And the fact that Billy is the ONLY person that calls the company A-C...lol...also proving Victor right when he was reading Billy down. 

 

Oh, lord...JG better not be trying for a Billy/Chelesa/Adam triangle. In this current state...it won't work. Well, my finger will be working the FF button. 

 

And since Sally was the only person I cared about in that whole mess, her being on the sidelines of it...for now?...means I still get to see her. Lol at Chloe's reaction to Sally breaking up with Adam. So in character. 

 

 

Well so fall season begins I guess. lol.

OMG!! He was doing superb on this 9-3 episode. I was like 'who does Billy think he's talking to? You better remind him who you are.' And Victor did not disappoint. EB really and truly has been the highlight of my viewing this latest week so far. MTS being a close 2nd. Acting-wise.

 

Story-wise, I would say...reluctantly I might add...the Sharon storyline. And I just think that that's because it's about Sharon on one hand and on the other hand, I want to see if it's going where I feel it is going to go which I feel is Daniel connected.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By BoldRestless · Posted

      That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.

      Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?

      I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!

      That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.

      On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

      Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?

      I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By j swift · Posted

      It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)

      They could easily be re-created, or even re-shot in different ways, especially if they were re-shooting scenes at some point, as well.
