Very much so. So I'm happy that Lulu's return outside of block filming has been so good so far. I'm shocked at how invested I am given how I feel about the writing most of the time. 

 

Serendipity.

I had tears. Now I want the rest.

They gave Maxie back her personality, and that has helped KS tremendously. I know there has been pushback on characters that are served better by allowing some humor in. But it was needed with her, and I have enjoyed her with Spinelli and their kids, because he has been allowed to calm down a little bit and mature. It just works for me after years of thinking they could all go.

Again, a silk robe and a silk pajama top that still covers her up but isn’t up to her neck and some messy hair would at least seem like these two people are a couple and might fool around.

AH has been really great as Lulu. I know Emme has her fans, but this suits Lulu more. I don’t think I will even miss JMB anymore, that’s how much I think she fits so well.

Also! I watch on Hulu and I just noticed they changed out Carly for Anna as the shot we see before the episodes start. It was Roger Howarth forever, then Carly (looking smug), and now Anna. I am thrilled to see anyone but Sonny, Carly, or Roger Howarth as the image.

I think with this show, humor should be used at the right time and with the right people and definitely...depending on the characters...need not be slapsticky. That said, Maxie is a character who benefits from having humor which was always a part of her personality with KS in the role. So glad it's back with her because she's given some of the funniest and snarkiest moments over the last few months. Doesn't seem out of place at all.  And I like having that character type around.

I’m with @carolineg and @titan1978Kirsten Storms as Maxie has been a treasure all year for me. I’m glad Korte and Mulcahey restored Maxie’s charm and sass and put her back with Spinelli, their little family unit is one of the shows brightest spots. I honestly wish they used the family more for their own story cause I wouldn’t mind a family caper adventure.

It’s also been great to see KS self confidence redevelop on screen, she’s been looking particularly

these last couple of weeks and you can see the effort she’s made to take better care of her health.

Now like @Vee I loved Amanda Setton on OLTL, when they paired her with Jerry Ver Don as Clint she was sensational. I’ve only seen her as Brook Lynn this last year but I had no trouble understanding why the ratings started collapsing when her and Chase were the front-burner couple, they’re boring as hell. 

I’m cool with religious values preventing both actors from doing certain things but my problem is if the show is going to accommodate then they need to do a better job. That after glow scene should have been reworked if her modesty is too strong to take a robe off. It was legit awkward to watch and AS often looks uncomfortable onscreen. I completely understand why people want another actress in the role.

I would keep the family unit intact for awhile and play story with them, sure, but I wouldn't keep Kirsten on the shelf with Bradford forever. She's got too much life again these days and while I like them together again I am not ride or die for it. Eventually down the road I'd recast Michael and bring him on as a sort of deadpan straight man/younger guy to Maxie's unlikely slightly older woman comedienne, something I've thought about doing with them for many years. A fish out of water thing. Sue me!

    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them.
