A meh of an episode. I figured that they would do what I mentioned a few days ago and use Thursday as a breather after that awesome momentum they had for the last two weeks. Because the one thing I didn't like about Lulu's Awakening has been other scenes that could have waited for an episode or two that had nothing/very little to do with Lulu. And here it is. And I was just meh. A break well needed for me. lol. 

 

The more they put Anna front and center on this 'Must Find Charlotte Valentin' storyline, the more my RHOA Housewife shade wants to come out, complete with gifs. Not even the talents of Finola Hughes can keep that storyline from not feeling like Frank just wants to bring his buddy back on canvas. Though I do have a hope that the writers might pull a Josh Griffith and have Charlotte found off-screen. I thought it was funny to have Spin roped into this. And I'm not at all surprised to see Carly mixed up in this due to who wrote the episode. 

 

What I actually cared about this episode were the Alexis/Molly, TJ/Curtis, and Dante/Sonny scenes. It was a nice way to keep the Molly/TJ storyline going as the B plot it has been this week and as expected Lulu adjacent story was put to C plot. That said...I love we are still getting both points of view between Molly and TJ. And I'm always here for Dante/Sonny scenes. 

 

Let me swoon for Isaish and Jordan for a moment. Hehe. I didn't like the concept of the scene. However, I stay loving the look in his eyes when he's around Jordan. 

 

Ugh. Not Dr. Obrecht Lite as a spoiler for Carly/Brennan. GIRL, BYE.

 

I don't care about Natalia. I don't care for the propping. But at least write Natalia like how she's been written and not St. Maria of the PushUp Bra. 

 

Le sigh at that phone call. 

Slowly, but surely.

I hate her less than Leo, but she is so stupid sometimes.  Sonny has already completely forgotten about his ex wife Nina.  With all the Kristina and Ava stuff going on plus him trying to woo Bigot mom, does Joss really think he cares at all about Dex?  Like Sonny was waiting all these months to carry out the lamest stabbing ever?

Instead of seeing Erica Kane, I would much rather Valentini lure Erika Slezak in for a year to bring on a new villainous family. I think she could really bring it as a cold, calculating matriarch of a dangerous family. I would love to see her let loose on a contained viper character.

I adore Erika but I don't think that would fly. I think people are (understandably) beyond tired of OLTLers on this show and I also don't think anyone would ever see her as anyone other than Viki given the proximity and many crossovers.

I had once wanted Viki to appear as a guest in a major umbrella storyline in which (in her role as an esteemed American journalist) she would interview the villain of the story in Port Charles but that's another discussion. As it is, despite a recently thriving primetime career I fear Erika may not be in good physical health (on top of the tragic loss of her daughter) to appear judging by her appearance on the last Locher Room. I dearly hope I am very much mistaken.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get. While I agree with those on here that he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.

    • Ah! Good to hear. Isn't it especially odd to think that house fictionally exists not far from the Karrs?  Or, that it was designed non-fictionally by the same person who designed April's place?
    • Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. Strange and awkward, and I don't know what they're doing with those fades.   -- Finally, had to laugh at how many Emmys this board passed out today.

    • Not unless they live in an apartment complex.

    • That was bad. Product placement is fine, but not here, not now. Besides, no one carries their damn detergent to the living room.   Completely and utterly disagree. I thought Brandon Claybon was excellent today -- maybe his best performance since the show started. No recast needed.   Not unpopular with me. That didn't work. The montage was good, but 5 minutes of Amazing Grace? With all those verses? No. What kind of family breaks into a loud version of Amazing Grace after what just happened??? None. Anita's lecture to Leslie was great. Ending the show -- a really good episode with crackling dialogue -- like that was a mistake.  
    • Today, was a fantastic episode. I loved everything about, including Ainta singing, Amazing Grace. I love the family dynamic of the Dupree's so much. They remind me of my own family at times. Martin & Smitty have come leaps and bounds from where they  started. I genuinely felt a connection between them I can't wait to watch it deepen. Dana/Leslie/Sherry/Ana is a piece of work. Her speech at the Dupree's about her "concern" for Eva and then locking her out of their apartment??? She is pure evil, but I love it. I can't wait to see where the Eva/Kat story goes. There's so much potential there. As for Ted, I need to see Keith Robinson in the role before giving my true critique of Maurice Johnson.
