Having her beg Alexis after what she had done to Alexis was also just stupid writing and another chance for someone to talk down to Ava. It’s like the show appreciates having a great actress like MW, but they despise the character of Ava and having to write for her.

That's Korte, IMO. As soon as Mulcahey was out the door Ava hit the skids again. Similar things have happened with Nina when she 'won' Sonny from Carly. Every day was about humiliating her.

I wonder how much is also just nothing being left for Ava as a character. I can say under Mulcahey Nina had more drive (even if her fans didn't seem to agree) but Ava then and now just seems like she's thrown wherever the plot dictates, and Maura has to salvage the scripts. 

If they are going to have her end up losing Ric to Alexis then that will be even more of a stretch than the money to me, since I don't think Alexis would ever want Ric again.

I’m so glad I missed a lot of that. I came in right when it was revealed Nina reported them to the SEC and they found out. That was enough of a beat down every few days for me. But then PM smartly used it to start the Nina/Drew affair that the new writers have completely ruined.

Surprisingly there was still quite a bit of chemistry between NLG and RH when they were decorating the house for Molly. But I really can’t see Alexis ever going back to him.

I agree. They work well together and I know his history with Alexis and Kristina is more complicated than his return has suggested. It's hard to see her ever going there again though (then again she was with Julian for 500 years...).

Willow really took Wiley to DC to be with her lover and didn’t even tell Michael. I need him and the Quartermaines to completely destroy these two. 
 

Lulu was awful today. I’m glad Dante brought up Sam. And also pointed out how little it seems Lulu even cares about Rocco.

Sasha is coming off so stupid to me.

I think the Ava B/C-story with Ric (because that's what it is at present, though I enjoy them together) is more about marginalizing her again vs. her being bone-dry as a character. Ava can still almost always get up to shít IMO. But someone didn't like her having one over on Sonny, etc. and as soon as the writers changed she was out his door and into a meandering court subplot, and now this.

I can sooner see Alexis having a casual fling with Sonny again (as we've discussed before) than Ric tbh. But yes, Rick and Nancy have always had chemistry. That pairing was really torpedoed.

That story was so confused to me because I felt like she came across as foolish as Sonny in many ways. I wonder what Mulcahey's original plans would have been. I assume he was already iced out by the time we got to the dumbest parts (her outing Blaze).

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he fell to his death. So there was a supernatural element.
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience? 
    • That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you

    • Yep. Access to the Vault works fine but upon downloading attempts an error message pops up.   Maybe it is just a temporary glitch.

    • I'm pretty sure this ep is  from Dec 73 From the Daytime Serial Newsletter Ian and Valerie Northcote are deeply concerned over Laurie's  life being increasingly dominated by hallucinations and fantasies about Georgina, the former owner of the house the Reddins recently bought and are now living in. Doreen Post (Linda Purl) was involved in that story .Perhaps she was going to be revealed as Georgina's daughter? Wonder how that story evolved and whether it was wrapped up before cancellation? and thanks to @skylark

    • Thank u so much! I love that show and the more I see of it the more I want to find more of it even if it’s just in script form. But that house and especially the room looked like Victoria Winters room from dark shadows lol  this was great find! Thanks
