They probably would've begun hating it decades ago.

KS hasn't worn a skimpy tank top in forever. She looks so very slimmed down. Are they all on ozempic? I see Genie is also slimming down. It's like cocaine from the 80s. LOL

I think it's clearly Ozempic for them and for Maura West, too. No shade -- good for them. I do think the skimpy tank top on Maxie was ridiculous for mid-October.

 

This is one of those times when knowing casting news and spoilers really hurts watching the show.

Because we know too much about Sam and Lulu (and the actors), I'm pretty bored with all this build-up to Lulu's operation. It would all be so much better if we knew nothing.

The show doing a plug-pulling story reminds me of when AW did the same in its dying years. Not great.

Those bastards killed off Bridget Connell

And ironically, Jensen Buchanan played mercy killer Melissa Bedford, lol.

I forgot all about that. Another story to treasure...

Steven was a mercy killer right?

Ok with Trina & Kai

Possible Dex & Molly

How about Joss & Gio?

Unless they do Aiden & Gio

Aiden&Gio gets my vote!

Steven killed an evil patient to save the life of a child.

He went to prison for that?

10-21

 

That was just uneven to me. But given the TV spot for this week, I assume that this week will be playing the beats. In those regards, there was some good to see. 

 

For me...

 

LULU'S STORYLINE. So now those stakes are getting higher. The messing with her equipment. ANOTHER complication in the surgery. Lucky weaving Isaiah into the surgery. Sam getting Drew AND Jason to meet her on the Q's grounds...another one of those finality scenes. Laura being Laura and being beside herself. Good to see Kevin there for her. But a lot of beats going on. Also, another case of the filming style working against it. Because...

 

BYE, BYE, VIOLET. ...I felt there were too many cuts to this one. And those scenes DID linger...for all the wrong reasons. Good acting, but like most, I'm just over Violet. Even though she is a nice beat to get Chase/BLQ to their next story beat. And I've VERY HAPPY someone kept their foot on FV's neck to make sure Finn made NO appearance to see her off. 

 

HOLLY VS ROBERT. Pretty good scenes. And a nice flashback. But otherwise I was meh-ing it because it did not have another room to breathe either. 

 

We know how I feel about Dante so I have no complaints there.

Judging by what Bridget Dobson has said about her parents, they probably hated the show from the moment she fully took over in 1973!

I have been playing catch-up and the show is watchable but there is so much going on that it feels like nothing is being given room to have any emotional depth.

I will give the last year/couple of months some credit- NLG, Becky, and Dom should never have been sidelined, and are carrying a lot of weight to make several stories have emotional depth. It is refreshing to see them being used well again. Jane and Genie continue to bring layers to their work that must come from their acting choices, because the writing isn’t featuring either of them like it should.

This turn with Sasha would have interested me more several years ago. Rick Hearst is really making sparks everywhere, still fun to watch as a slimeball. And the question still remains for me- why doesn’t Trina have any kind of story?

It is uncomfortable watching the way they are walking Kelly Monaco out the door. I am not opposed to writing Sam out. But it’s not fun to watch knowing how sidelined she has been and how it has been handled.
