Watching Monday’s episode where we got a very lengthy set of scenes with Laura and Lulu talking about their family—specifically the heartache Laura has had to deal with for years with Lucky gone, Lulu comatose, Nikolas in jail, and Spencer presumed dead then coming here and reading these last couple of pages made me question if we’re all watching the same show for a second.

The show could definitely utilize Genie Francis better but I don’t think her onscreen treatment is as egregious as its made out to be. I don’t agree that Tracy has gotten more screen time with Lulu than Laura has, it feels pretty evenly spilt to me—as it should considering how big of a role Tracy has played in Lulu’s life.

I’m still enjoying the show overall but centering so much drama around Cody as an activator and Sonny using Natalia to hide his heart issues definitely quailed my interest after a great run of episodes focused on the Michael/Willow/Drew/Tracy custody games.

I’ll just say it, Jane and Alexa have a much more believable chemistry than Genie and Alexa. If you had no prior knowledge and stumbled upon the show one day, you can easily assume Lulu was Tracy’s actual daughter and Laura was either an aunt or some close acquaintance.

I suppose you could say Genie and Alexa haven't really had the chance yet, but I agree. I just don't think there's anything especially compelling in the Laura/Lulu relationship and I don't think Genie has much of a spark with those around her (she did when she was younger, but I don't think her work has ever been the same since she was forced to return to the show in 1998). On paper, there's a story to tell about Lulu not being very close to Laura compared to Tracy because Tracy was there for her in the years Laura could not be, the years that made Lulu who she now is. Unfortunately, that story is probably never going to be told.

Not really an NAC fan, but I do wonder if it's all that uncommon for someone to not attend their former onscreen love interest's birthday party. 

I just hope Tabyana gets more respect from the show. If not then I hope she leaves, if she is able to do so.

-- That entire scene with Tracy screaming about the mouse on the bookshelf and ordering Sasha to kill it was ludicrous. I understand needing a way to let everyone know Sasha is pregnant, but come on.

-- I do not care that Brook Lynn can have a baby. I do not care that Chase can't father one. But why does Brook Lynn look so confused when Chase tells her "I can't get you pregnant"?

The Babies Rabies on this show continues to be pathetic.

I enjoyed all the Quatermaine scenes today minus the recycling of the same Tracy being mean to Sasha set up. Everyone debating how to handle Willow was hilarious and Jason being in the middle of Q banter still blows my mind in a good way. I’m not surprised he figured out Michael was Sasha’s baby daddy so quickly.

Lois and Brook Lynn’s scenes were really good and the anvil dropping with Gio continues to make me laugh, same for Chase being a blank shooter.

I still like nuEmma a lot and she has good chemistry with FH and KW. Felicia warning Carly about Jack was also nice to see after their bonding over Bobbie’s death.

Speaking of Jackly I wish they would let them kiss already lol, I love their scenes though. Valentin popping up to strangle Jack at the end was a surprise I hope Jack ends up beating his creeper ass.

Poor Alexis finally finding out Sam was murdered. Portia is awful at her job tbh and the way she swerved Alexis off to Isaiah for questioning was funny but pathetic. When this story wraps I hope she and Terry lose their jobs.

Trina and Kai

I've read good and bad things about NAC, but we really don't know him. We have no idea why he didn't attend that birthday party, and it's ridiculous to claim it's because he thinks he's too big a star to be there.

 

I like Tabyana Ali, but I'm honestly not seeing her as some breakout star from the soaps. I just don't.

GH seems to be trying to give her story, but this stuff with Kai is deadly.

      On GL we only saw young GA's Philip in very short shorts but on AMC we saw GA's Alec McIntyre in a speedo.

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By carolineg · Posted

      I mentioned that last week and I am glad Tate and Sophia just realized that today lol.  I think the show is just tying up some of Ron's loose ends.   You would think Brady, Holly or even Marlena would have perhaps pointed out the age thing to Tate at some point. I am not sure I like this shift in Sophia's characterization though.  MK played Sophia as someone who always defied her mom's rules-she just didn't get caught.  She was openly trying to steal Tate from Holly with no shame, showing up at the Horton cabin in bikinis to seduce him, and blackmailing Holly to work all her shifts at the Bistro.  Once the recast started the show has acted like Sophia's lived in her room, sheltered her entire life lol.

      If Jordan never appeared again, I would absolutely not notice or miss her.  So, while Brook Kerr has her flaws, she at least appears to have a pulse and a personality as Portia.

      That's because India, or the India MKA ended up playing, was created due to the fact that both she and Kristi Farrell were liked by TPTB, but the part they both read for didn't exactly fit either one of them so the show created two brand new characters for both actresses to play (India and Roxie) and opted not to cast the character they were intending to cast (A cousin of Beth's). I think that's why the show seemed to struggle at first with how to write both India and Roxie in their first months on the show because the characters weren't ever intended to exist.  And yes.. Grant A had a great body... but I didn't find him hot when he was playing Phillip.. only when he was playing Alec on AMC which baffles me since it was the same actor in both parts LOL

      I shared this on Twitter and good grief the comments. Steffy fans can be such vile real-life human beings over a fictional character lol.

      I remember Michael Logan interviewed L.A. actors/production staff about the movie. Susan Seaforth Hayes said she was dying to know Susan Lucci's reaction.

      Thanks @Franko  @slick jones You may be interested in the Elisabeth Shue mention. I have to laugh that they apparently didn't even know Teri Hatcher was on Capitol. I have scans somewhere of SPW talking with soap actors about Soapdish. Some, like Mary Stuart, were not happy. I never had a lot of interest in the movie myself.

      I never had much of a problem with Brandon Claybon's performance as Martin. He has gotten much better though. While I enjoy his confrontational scenes, I must say his lighter, and carefree scenes from Thursday's episode are the ones that stood out most in the last 3 days (to me).   I agree with all of this!
