First of all I am not really familiar with Rena Sofer's original run on the show, I have just watched random scenes. For some reason I find the actress boring. She bored me on Loving, Melrose Place and B&B. The idea of Brooklyn's mother in town is fine by me. I don't mind the type of the character either. I guess I don't like the way she is playing the part.

Would make sense I guess. Or her new love interest. What I really hope is that she is thinking "Come on guys, this has got to be Thomas Hardy" lol. 

Yeah, this return hasn't been terribly impressive for Rena/Lois.  There have been some standout scenes especially with her and Wally, but she hasn't really had a story.  I don't consider losing her accent a serious story lol.  

If you ever have the desire or chance I would watch some of her first run.  I think it's the most compelling Rena has ever been in a role, although I didn't hate her on Melrose. Rena was fantastic as were Lois and Ned.  Unfortunately, since Rena/Wally won't play Ned/Lois 2.0 the show seems to be a little lost on what to do with Lois this time around.

Yes, obviously, Jordan needs another son that looks the exact same age as her.

I love Lois. Also I love Tracy. Now, Lucy, it's all according. BITD Lucy with Siggy, yes, YES. Now, not so much. Also BITD Lucy & Kevin, oh my, definitely yes. But, Lucy & say Scotty, just asking for a disaster, IMO, anyway.

I do have an appreciation of Lucy every once in a while in her position at Deception especially because Maxie has her nailed. 

The very last time I noted a Lucy line was this 

Lucy: You know this is ironic. The same person who locked poor Blaze in the closet is the same person who just outed her. GH 7-2-24

OH, I should mention. I really liked Lucy with Marty, but, both disposable characters, if you know what I mean.

9-4

 

Hehe. Not Liz and Ric reconnecting already over ice cream and stumbling over Alexis with a gun. lol. And just how glib they were about it. Like...just another day in Port Charles. 

 

Jason and Ava continue to intrigue. And I was right there with Diane wondering WTF. But I ask again...where is Scotty? They must be setting up for something. Either that or Kin Shriner's guarantee ran out. 

 

And I was wondering why CD was looking like he had pandemic bod...which isn't a bad bod to have btw. And lol at Willow already fantasizing about Drew. And I was glad for the Drew/Curtis scene because I've been saying throughout this writing transition that we have Willow's POV and Nina's POV, but we had yet to get Drew's talk on what's going on with Willow. Nicely set up now. And juicy soap now. 

 

Ugh at Sonny and Carly. 

 

And another great cliffhanger with Holly's appearance. Ready for Lucky to get out of there though.

And you can't go wrong with the Scorpio brothers in scenes together.  

 

ETA: It was cute at first, but NO to Brick and Jordan. Where's Portia's brother when you need him?

On the Daily Drama podcast some unknown guest canceled at the last minute so LW filled in. They should have her on a lot. She's a real firecracker in that setting. She was laughing. Said no one ever went to the bridge & now everyone does!!! Steve revealed that he learned that his character paid to have that bridge rebuilt just this past year!

CD is Chad Duell? What is a pandemic body?

Me, I see nothing when I look at Jason & Ava. And, Drewfus, talking to Curtis, or when he is doing his thing with Willow, more & more it's just not working for me. Drew has begun to seem like a creep to me. And, for god's sake it was Liesl Obrecht who saved Willow. If I remember correctly Drew had to be saved from something on that island.

Maybe it's just me but I see two older fellas on my soaps who are not looking well, at all. Tristan on GH & Drake on DAYS. In contrast, the ladies are looking fine, still.

IKR!!!! That bridge is getting so much traction.

 

Chad yes. When I say pandemic bod, I mean that a lot of actors put on some weight (in all the right places IMHO) during the pandemic. 

 

I would hate on Drew, but since the New/Old Writers...and even near the tail end of PM's run, Drew's POV has been MIA in the Nina/Willow. And that's the only false note in the progression of that storyline. So I don't mind seeing it. It will help me decide if I like him going forward with these writers or just a creep. So I disagree. lol.

Last year his wife had a baby. They said that she had the baby but he gained the weight!

Perfectly alright to disagree. You're even entitled to. I just think - or maybe it's a dread - Willow is gonna find out that Nina has been doing the wild thing with him & Nina did not fess up to her about it. I predict Nina is now gonna mess up this nice space she's had with her daughter.

I never thought that there was someone more annoying than Lucy.

And then came Lois.

Why is Jordan so obsessed with this random stranger? Have I missed something?

Ric fits so well in the canvas.

I am enjoying Lucky and still cannot understand why the show chooses to tell a story from an old mobster/murderer's point view. He is not even charming or hot. 

Oh and Emma Samms looks amazing. 

You're entitled to your opinion; however, I think the issue when it comes to characters such as Lois and Lucy are that this regime sees them as caricatures at this point instead of fully realized characters they were once written to be.

Mo has a severe fear of flying so these tours/appearances are hard on him.  I read his book, so everyone else on here didn't have to lol.  I wouldn't take it as an omen.

Why, thank you so much for that info. Fears flying, huh? Well, okay.

Yeah, I guess for years he wouldn't even get on a plane and just road trip it to these events.  If I remember correctly.  I read it mostly for the Vanessa Marcil parts lol.  It's actually a pretty interesting book though.
