I heard #soapoperas were huge.. and ALOT of work… nothing could be bigger than my “huge episodic shows” I said to myself ….. I had to shoot what one day looks like on @youngandrestlesscbs ! All of these clothes are what works this upcoming episode. Had to share, maybe to share joy and hope, and to all those in this sad climate of no work I get it I feel you I lived it and this is no cake ride… and still just surviving, we all are. I had to share how hard we work.

What I also didn’t know was how amazing this show would be. How special the cast is and how hard working my team is. We do not stop, this train does not stop. These actors do up to 80 pages a day! and also do not stop. I barely know them yet I’m so blown away by each one of them. I’ve never seen a cast learn so many lines.. then again and again. They do fittings again and again… and DO NOT COMPLAIN. Yep… and they’ve been doing this for twenty years or more. Such great role models they are.

I never thought in 30 years I’d be teaching and learning so much and how grateful am I.

And how I get to do what I do best… bring the fire the modern and the aspirational. My body is dead

You know I didn't see that at the shots but when I watched the episode I got what you meant! That ending really felt something out of a movie, very very good!

I mean she could pull that off as long as it's characters like Chelsea and Chloe or Sally and maybe Summer who have a fashionista vein or Connections with the Fashion World

Judging on the reel alone, there is already an upgrade in fashion, after a lot of horrid choices the past year or two. No more pleather pants that are ill-fitted or studded jackets. Everything here looks fabulous, especially the shoes!  I am a gay who loves his shoes!

The shot itself, the post-production, etc. It's all getting there.

@Faulkner - I’d check out today’s US episode just because it’s a bit of a standalone and not focused on moving any of Griffth’s boring stories along. That, and the flashbacks, classic music cues, new Newman Ranch set reveal, etc. You can definitely see why they needed Ed Scott back to help lead production.

Oh, you want to quote a SON post that includes an embedded IG,
but avoid this happening: (Link to issue described on support thread)

Well gosh,  I don't know.

At the top of *this page* of this SON thread,
I posted Mandi Line's costume closet reel instagram post...
and under Mandi's IG reel, I included me typing out the text that's already within her IG, 
(all of that within my same SON board post).

On the fourth post of this page, @Liberty City  quoted my SON post and it worked okay.  At least it seems to be displaying okay.

Perhaps it worked fine because of all the typed text I included in my own SON post.
Perhaps it worked fine because LC posted a great deal of their own commentary words underneath their quoting of my SON post.
So even if something was going to overlap, maybe all the typed text from both of us stretched out LC's post to avoid it?

Or maybe the weird "IG bleeding into following post" is a random thing and we don't know when/how/why it happens.

I post IGs at SON with the "embed code".  I don't see the bleeding on this page of this thread.  The costume designer's embedded IG isn't bleeding through to the next SON post.

But I have seen the bleeding occur at other times on other SON threads, even recently, as mentioned on the support thread regarding this issue.    But I cannot pinpoint a pattern as to why or when it happens.

It's not a cache issue.  it's a real thing.

I'm on a Windows P.C.
Maybe it just doesn't happen on your device.

It previously happened for me when *reading* SON on my ancient Windows 7 P.C. with old out-of-date browsers.  But not all the time.
Now it happens for me when *reading* SON on my brand new Windows 10 P.C. with current updated browsers.    But not all the time.

We could discuss this further on the support thread.


Back to @Faulkner's question above.
It seems that the costume designer's IG embed works to quote without breaking the SON thread.  Don't know why but it works fine.

Strangely, no writing/producing/directing credits were posted on today’s US episode. I’ll just credit Ed Scott for everything good, lol, since it was a standalone focused on one set and set of characters.

I also noticed that the lighting has been adjusted and gotten a bit darker/richer again. That makes the show look so much better. Again, kudos to Ed Scott for that.

That video was great. Love BTS stuff. Wish they would go into more detail about the decisions made re the set eg why the entrance was switched etc.

As for the Fri episode, I wonder who is behind it. I don't believe Josh has the knowledge to choose specific flashbacks,so who are the go to people that can identify those moments?

    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.

    • That's always been my thought. I can't imagine that the show would play up the unseen AD so far in advance without them casting a *star*. After today's episode, I wonder if he'll somehow be connected with Diane. It was strange that Diane mentioned her very distant family today. I can't recall Diane ever talking about her backstory. Maybe he's her much younger brother?  It's also possible he's connected to Diane during her time in LA. Sally's already said she crossed paths with him. OC, I think Dumas is Mariah's mistake.... As a side note, it was good to see some mixing it up - Adam with Clare/Kyle and Sharon with Tessa.
    • Here's the place to share some memorable criticism. You don't have to agree with it, of course (that's often where the fun starts). Like I mentioned to @DRW50, Sally Field was a favorite punching bag in the late '80s and early '90s.   Punchline (the 1988 movie where she and Tom Hanks are stand ups): "It's impossible to tell the difference between Miss Field's routines that are supposed to be awful, and the awful ones that are supposed to be funny." -- Vincent Canby, New York Times. "It's not merely that Field is miscast; she's miscast in a role that leaves no other resource available to her except her lovability. And (David) Seltzer's script forces her to peddle it shamelessly." -- Hal Hinson, Washington Post. "As a woman who can't tell a joke, Sally Field is certainly convincing. ... Field has become an unendurable performer ... She seems to be begging the audience not to punch her. Which, of course, is the worst kind of bullying from an actor. ... She's certainly nothing like the great housewife-comedian Roseanne Barr, who is a tough, uninhibited performer. Sally Field's pandering kind of 'heart' couldn't be further from the spirit of comedy." -- David Denby, New York   Steel Magnolias: The leading ladies: Dolly Parton: "She is one of the sunniest and most natural of actresses," Roger Ebert wrote. Imagining that she probably saw Truvy as an against-type role, Hinson concluded it's still well within her wheelhouse. "She's just wearing fewer rhinestones." Sally Field: "Field, as always, is a lead ball in the middle of the movie," according to Denby . M'Lynn giving her kidney to Shelby brought out David's bitchy side. "I can think of a lot more Sally Field organs that could be sacrificed." Shirley MacLaine: "(She) attacks her part with the ferociousness of a pit bull," Hinson wrote. "The performance is so manic that you think she must be taking off-camera slugs of Jolt." (I agree. If there was anyone playing to the cheap seats in this movie, it's Shirley.) Olympia Dukakis: "Excruciating, sitting on her southern accent as if each obvious sarcasm was dazzlingly witty," Denby wrote. Daryl Hannah: "Miss Hannah's performance is difficult to judge," according to Canby, which seems to suggest he took a genuine "if you can't say something nice ..." approach. Julia Roberts: "(She acts) with the kind of mega-intensity the camera cannot always absorb," Canby wrote. That comment is so fascinating in light of the nearly 40 years Julia has spent as a Movie Star. She is big. It's the audience who had to play catch up. And on that drag-ish note ... The movie itself: "You feel as if you have been airlifted onto some horrible planet of female impersonators," Hinson wrote. Canby: "Is one supposed to laugh at these women, or with them? It's difficult to tell." Every review I read acknowledged the less than naturalistic dialogue in ways both complimentary (Ebert loved the way the women talked) and cutting (Harling wrote too much exposition, repeating himself like a teenager telling a story, Denby wrote). Harling wrote with sincerity and passion, Canby acknowledged, but it's still a work of "bitchiness and greeting card truisms." The ending was less likely to inspire feeling good as it was feeling relieved, according to Denby. "(It's) as if a group of overbearing, self-absorbed, but impeccable mediocre people at last exit from the house."
