Those Holly and "Sasher" scenes were painful to watch. They have no chemistry as mother and daughter. Sasher also has none of the charisma that Robert and Holly had. Their daughter should have been an entirely new character. Another good idea turned bad by poor execution.

Funny you say that because a lot of people, (probably Sonny/Carly fans), were really upset that Sonny was with Nina and went so far as to claim that not only was he being written out of character because he was acting disloyal to Carly and her kids and Sonny "in character" would never turn his back on HIS family but also Nina was basically grooming and taking advantage of an amnesiac man, which... I think is absolutely ridiculous.

I mean, Nina did have her own selfish reasons for doing what she did, but come on now. Personally I think Nina and Sonny were horribly mismatched because Nina is not cut out for the mob life and she's also a big blabbermouth that cannot keep her mouth shut to save her life. Also Sonny will always have some sort of connection to Carly no matter what so Nina was basically screwed no matter what she did. 

Also I don't get why Nina was so obsessed with Carly to begin with; it's not like Carly is someone to even aspire to and I also find her extremely annoying and aggravating with the way everyone's constantly kissing up to her. Maybe she sees Carly as popular and beloved by the town and she wants that for herself? That's probably the only way that makes any sense to me, and Nina does seem to be the type of person to want so desperately to be loved and accepted by the towns folk. At any rate I'm glad the stupid Granny Wars are over and Nina is no longer preoccupied with Carly and she's mostly minding her own business now.

I get that to some degree she feels guilty that she didn't get to raise her herself and that she testified against her in court; however, Nelle was a psychopath that was a danger and a menace to society. And Nina needs to understand and accept that. (Also I hate that they made out Nelle to be a complete irredeemable psycho and they could have just kept Nelle as a regular schemer and she and Willow could have had a rivalry that would have driven stories for years, and since Nelle was basically being written to be a much younger version of Carly, then maybe Nina could be someone that would help humanize Nelle somewhat and make her not so one note.).

Woooow. Wasn’t expecting Sam to kick the bucket today but there it was. I’m conflicted as I wasn’t a Sam fan when she was part of the Carly/Sonny/Sam/Jason vortex and she did seem pretty bored by it herself but I enjoyed her Drew and the bits I’ve seen of the relationship with Dante. I think a Lulu/Dante/Sam triangle would’ve worked just fine without having to kill off Sam. 
 

Happy to see Chad Duell was back for the Willow fallout. Did not expect him to immediately sleep with Sasha

. He’s now gone further to cheat than Willow ever did.

How many times did they hit Sam with the paddles? LOL Sorry, but those scenes were laughable.

Nothing Van Hansis did in those scenes resembled anything near "good acting." I mean, he was absolutely over-the-top awful. Every extra on Grey's Anatomy's 21 seasons did a better job.

She is around but is clearly not a priority atm vs. what Mulcahey was doing with the fuckbuddy/political relationship and mother-daughter triangle with Drew.

I'm not particularly fussed about it since he's gone, and I care little for what the show is currently doing since having squandered that storyline so they could write all three out tomorrow and I wouldn't really care.

I am definitely looking forward to the episode count because I really feel she's only popped up at most 5. 

 

So much has been going on with people Nina was tied to and she really has been an afterthought to the point I have been shocked this month how little she has appeared.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
