Well said as always my friend!

I’m a little mixed on Nate and Audra as I wasn’t entirely sure if I wanted their dynamic to completely change but you know what, if it causes Devon heartburn then it’s well worth it lol.

I like Nate and Audra, but have felt she did the pot stirring vixen better while using Kyle as her errand boy/play thing while also sleeping with REAL men. But if they can be a formidable power team I wouldn’t mind that at all. Or Nate goes back to medicine after Audra sets him up his own practice and cheers her business acumen from the sidelines would be fine.

 

I’m glad Chance had finally been given something interesting to do long overdue. The relationship with Summer is a good start but him going back to being a cop would be perfect. 

I like the idea of a murder mystery haha. I’d say let Billy die lol but I don’t want another Abbott death on the show so I propose Phyllis dies for real this time after pissing everyone off in her position of what Billy has for her at Chancellor.

You're not alone on being mixed on Nate/Audra. It's funny since that was who she wanted to shag when she came to town. And now she got him. lol. I liked that they see each other. But Audra has Sally for those friendship moments...well if they would allow Sally out of Billy's orbit. But I'm open to them. They could be a scheme team themselves. But I also loved Audra like how you mentioned, manipulating all them bois and men.

Yeah, I have enjoyed very much seeing more of CF and Chance. But outside of Pandemic Chance, I've enjoyed all the actors who have played Chance. And as a Chancellor, I just feel there should be so much for him to do. 

 

IKR. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't JG always writing some form of murder mysteries when he wrote for other soaps or was that just in his partnerships with Michael Malone who definitely leaned in that direction?

'Danny didn't want you. Nick didn't want you.'

 

Oooooooooooo SHADE!!!! lol. Even if it's because she's off her meds, it was great to see Sharon on a rampage. First, Lucy and Daniel. Then sending Heather running for the hill. And now Giggly Heffa. lmao. And Giggly Heffa, of all people, calling anyone crazy. Whatever hoe.

 

And what is making it funny is that Sharon isn't wrong about Lucy, either. Since this Faith/Lucy storyline has started and progressed, it really has been giving SINGLE WHITE FEMALE. So the detour with Cassieque accident was a decent way to end that. But Lucy seems more obsessed with Faith than ever. Perhaps we are going to get that after all. 

 

I couldn't care less about Connor's issues since it's more about Chelesa. 

 

That said...I loved seeing Mariah and that green suit she had on. Same for what Sally was wearing. Sharon. I even loved Phyllis's outfit.

I don't know what JG did on OLTL.
I will say this:  Josh Griffith had expressed an interest in books -- novels -- that had serial killer stories and spy stories.  I remember this because, years ago, on his defunct Facebook page, he reviewed novels from other authors that had such themes.  From reading that FB page, it seemed (to me) that JG was into the macabre and spies with secret plotting.
So when Ken Corday wanted something for the DAYS 50th anniversary, Griffith pitched his idea, and we got serial killer Ben killing Will Horton. 
Griffith also wrote the Yo Ling/ Winterthorne spy stuff for DAYS.

Edit to add:  Josh Griffith website with novels he wrote:
https://darkstreetpress.com/josh-griffith/
He did co-author something with Michael Malone.

Nothing makes sense on this damn show and it hasn't since covid. It's like JG has lost his mind and is incapable of finishing stories at all.

As a huge fan of MS, I'm just glad to see her move in another direction instead of being written as a mother hovering over her stupid adult kids all the time.

@TaoboiGriffith got canned over at Days for telling a very offensive rape story in early 2016.

I think his first year back had some purpose and momentum even if it was setting the show back to pick up where he left off in 2013. But COVID hit and it seemed to throw him completely off track, plus the Kansas retcon was a disaster he quickly moved on from it once the story ended. 
 

Overall I think Griffith was a lightning in the bottle/one trick pony.

He was involved (but not solo) with one successful era of a defunct OLTL over 30 years ago. Everything else since including from his brief time at BEACH, his work on ATWT, Y&R and Days stints just had imploded one by one.

MG and MCE also haven’t shared an ounce of chemistry in the last 5 years so I don’t understand why all of the sudden Connor is trying to push his parents back together. 
 

Billy and Chelsea also have had a largely off screen relationship to begin with so at this point does anyone care except for maybe one person in the control room?

Crazy Sharon’s story is a mess and it’s also depressing. Unlike the Ashley DID story there isn’t much entertainment value in seeing Cameron taunt Sharon. I mean Ashby and Case are doing their best with the material to at least keep me somewhat interested but still when people asked for a story for Sharon I don’t think THIS is what anyone had in mind. 
 

Obviously Ric Hearst is busy at the moment and no clue what Cibrian is up to these days  but I at least think if anything Sharon being haunted by anyone for her 30th anniversary it should’ve been Matt.

    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them.
