I agree with others that Ed Scott deserves credit for all the changes in lighting and production that we're seeing. Better wardrobe is another indication that someone's paying attention to this show -- and its ratings.

Still....I can in no way sign on to that greenscreen of the graveyard at Heather's funeral. That was awful. Just because it was better than the completely horrendous greenscreens we've seen in the past few months doesn't excuse it.

It took me right out of the scene, and could not have looked worse or more fake. If they can't do better than a greenscreen out of the 1980s, skip it. Don't do it at all.

As I posted before, if there had have been shrubs or a higher wall with cutouts, the graveyard background wouldn't have been so obvious.

Re the ranch, really typical Victor controlling behavior under the guise of romantic gesture.

Nikki has no say in the design or furnishings, even though that would bring her great pleasure surely. Instead Victor just presents it and she's supposed to be grateful.

Just like when guys choose a wedding ring that women are supposed to wear for the rest of their married life.

Did they explain how months of construction could go on with Nikki unaware? Maybe it all happened when she was drunk.

Oh, Paul, you're forgetting that Hero Victor saved Nikki from the stripper pole!

I agree, but when you have Detective Chance saying "I keep asking what I'm missing!" we can't expect Nikki to notice all that heavy construction machinery on the property. And don't forget, Nikki's been buried in financials at Newman.

There is a historian. In an interview, Josh said he was looking for a villain from Nikki and Victor's past and the historian told him about Eve Howard. He wanted to bring her back and the historian explained she was dead and also told him that Eve's son Cole married Victoria and they had a child that died... the rest is history.

Looking at the Deadline Hollywood video, the Ranch is now opposite Society, so it's likely they'd be able to film "outside" the Ranch if the door were still stage right. So moving it stage left makes sense, especially since it's not meant to be the same Ranch, but more-so a "replica" of it.

I enjoyed every moment of Lily dressing down Billy. lol. Billy tried to come off as hot stuff. But Lily was digging in. And even Giggly Heffa caught a stray when she walked over. Good. I love that everyone sees that Lily is a hard worker while Billy will always be a mess.

 

Speaking of Phyllis...I actually liked her with the bartender. It made me think of the days when Y&R had recurring characters. And speaking of old Y&R, ooooo yes. It's still slight, but noticeable that production charges are taking hold. The first half of this episode there were this slowing moving sweeping camera angles going on that had me in awe. 

 

Well...I am going to assume that since Susan Banks were listed last in the name of writers for this episode that she was the ones writing the Amy/Nate scenes. Which I did like. Though my mind is already trying to figure out where Daiman would fit on this canvas.

Oh...THAT is the cgi you all were talking about. Ugh. They were better off doing it inside of a church setting. which they could have kept all of that setting they had on display. It was so distracting.

 

And that? Was tragic. Because it was a pretty good episode. I was sorry that MS was going back to NOT being subtle. But MG though...mmmm tore me up. 

 

I'm surprised they allowed Sharon to go at all. And thankfully, anything major that would mess with Faith's wellbeing...like lashing out at her mother...was kept to a minimum. And at least Paul was mentioned. I even thought it was a decent amount of a crowd.

 

And then the end with Phyllis trying to beg Sharon to confess...was decent. As was Phyllis with the white flower.

    • Is that recent? She looks good. I like her social media posts about her animals and things. Someone was trying to give her crap about her relationship with Andy Gibb and the drug issues. And she replied, “You didn’t know us. You didn’t know what was in our hearts. Tread lightly on broken dreams.” Classy way to shut someone down.
    • Welcome back, Will and Eric!  They were both used so well today. I’m so glad that they’re going to be here for Marlena and everybody. She definitely needs them. And I love that we got a flashback of Will and John, and that Will credits him as the reason that he’s so courageous. Hopefully, he has scenes with Arianna coming up, and possibly Doug III. I think there’s a storyline there, especially considering what Will said about her being so stubborn and also a little similar to John. Btw, even though Chandler Massey is technically old enough to have an 18 year old child, he definitely doesn’t look it lol  And we got a Will and Paul reunion too. It really is too bad that we can’t get them full time. There’s still so much drama that can be mined from the two of them, and their relationships with Sonny and Andrew, especially now. But with Leo still slithering around, I guess it’s for the best that we’re not getting that

        And I love that Will was there for Johnny too. We never really got to see their relationship on screen and I’m glad that we got some of it today. I wish their scenes had been a little longer though. There’s a lot more that they need to discuss about EJ and the rape. But I like that Will comforted him about whether or not he was worthy of having John’s name. And that Marlena was able to shrink him about leaving EJ in the square after he fell.  Eric’s reunion with everybody was really sweet too. I loved the dorky family moment Belle is still being a total douche but I like the drama of her storyline. And I do think that she isn’t being completely stupid, when it comes to EJ. I’m glad that she has Brady though, who was also used very well today. He was breaking my heart in the scene where he was at John’s bedside.  And, congratulations EJ. I think lol  But I have to say, all this talk about John’s miraculous recovery is a little tough to here And, the final scene with John and Marlena
    • Reva should have had a stroke...leaving her permanently MUTE.  Not able to utter a single sound, not even the slightest blubber or gurgle.

       And shakin’ me up so, that all I really know is here you come again… and here I go  Enjoy, @Soapsuds
    • I'm still hoping that Leslie turns out to be Sharon's daughter. As I think it could bring another dynamic to the show and the Duprees eventually will need a rival family.

      I said Dorian Harewood on Twitter would be good for Dante Green too.

    • Could Nikki just be a big Gram Parsons fan? I think it works for Julie, but they should be doing better by Traci - none of this, from hair to wardrobe, is flattering.
    • To be fair, I don't think she was written out as much as not being written for as they had to gear up for the final episode. I'd assume they might've had the option to use her again but they just didn't find the space.
