-- LMAO at Ava's credit card being declined. Since when do waiters say things such as "I'm afraid you'll have to destroy your card, Miss Jerome"?

-- Also LOL, as well as rolling my eyes, at all the football stuff.

       -- PCU plays on a weekday?

       -- No one cared about football or even mentioned it before this, yet now everyone is a fan?

        -- A TV appears in the Q mansion for the first time so we can turn on the football game?

There had to be a better way to get Michael's slut shaming video in front of the others.

I live for these moments, tbh. Makes up for the ridiculous story and dialogue.

Yeah, poor Trina is right. This makes All American look like Citizen Kane.

 

Speaking of crazy people....who are the idiots who think making Kristina this unlikable is the answer? Sometimes the actor can be blamed, but in this case, I can't blame Kate Mansi. I think the writing for her is terrible, making her cold and brittle.

This was maybe 15 years ago and I still wondered if the kid was only watching 80's movies or something because that wasn't a thing.  I just did see it happen with my own eyes lol.

Also, how does Ava not know she doesn't have any money?  You would get a bank alert or something, right?  

All American is where I think they are going with all of this because, of course.

Exactly -- especially since Ric was notified while sitting at the same table just a minute after her  card was declined.

The sad thing is that "No one's thinking this through" can't even be used as a defense or explanation. They just don't care about viewers. It's a lack of respect and the feeling that we'll put up with anything. I guess that's partly true.

To me Michael E. Knight is an excellent actor. Eva is beautiful, hot, exciting & she also has a primetime pedigree as well. I don't think this was stunt casting.  

I'll give you Sonny, but Carly to me is still a fascinating character. In the new Women's World article Laura Wright talks about Carly's growth

We saw Sonny give her Charlie's right after the Phyllis mention. We just found out that Kristina has closed it pending her deciding whatever the heck she's going to do???? I wonder why she wants to change it. I guess we'll find out. Can Kristina hold it together & not frighten away any guests?!!!

I was too glib...I enjoyed some of their work, and I actually would be one of the few who liked a fair amount of Eva's return stint as Maria. It's just that this type of casting relying on the name without the character doesn't work for me unless the person brings amazing riches to a soap. I'd rather see some AMC, OLTL, Loving, Ryan's Hope, Young Marrieds, whatever, characters if I had to choose.

    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.  
    • His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.
    • That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?
    • Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.   
    • Unfortunately, as the 90s wore on, Felicia started wearing as many gray and neutral tones as Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan could produce, and the shoulder pads deflated to a drop sleeve.
    • I think Dante is reacting how most parents would react.
