Lulu apparently went to the Deception office after getting an after hours call from the supplier and called Brook-Lyn away from her Valentines Day date. Lulu was actually wearing the same clothes she had on in the previous episode. But you're right about the editing/writing. There was no set-up for these changes (i.e Lulu getting a phone call at the Q mansion or Brooklyn at the club calling her away from Chase) so it all felt very abrupt.

@Cheap21There's quite a lot of sloppiness but I don't think it's on writing, which is definitely screwed up, or editing, I think it's all part of the Frank Valentini "Fast & Furious" patent pending approach to block taping & I do not believe he cares about whether it's night in one part of town & breakfast in a different part.

Thanks. Im often left wondering if I missed an episode bc the transitionis between them is so jarring. Like it'll pick up with two characters mid argument and we dont even see how it got to that point. Its annoying

 

Also, was it known before that somoene tried to kill Lulu. I only came back when Sam died so missed the earlier. I just thought her liver failed bc she got sick

When considering the LA fires, the fact Jeff Kober was filming his final scenes and headed out the country right after and another guest actor/character was booked for those shooting dates, and the fact that that specific set build is only scheduled to be up for a certain days in production rotation yeah, I think its more down to schedule and not an assumed beef with one actor that has very little evidence of support.

    • One of the dumbest situations (Lando) ever. What audience member is going to invest in a storyline with a recast they don't like and a triangle where one character is short-term? It bombed as it should have done. So much of JFP's tenure just reeks of desperation. I don't get how someone could produce SB (which did have flaws but was often brilliant) but make so many terrible mistakes at GL.   I still think JFP would have worked better as a director and music supervisor. Her music work at SB was top notch.

    • We see the same with GH, where Mark Teschner, the casting director, reportedly has less say since Frank Valentini took over. Some producers want to take over every aspect of their shows.  I think Lando may have been a CBS push.
    • No idea but she won Emmys & she was the Casting Director at the same time for both ATWT & GL. She hired Lisa Brown with no job for her. Then Marland made Brown his muse so he created both Iva & Nola for her. But, I think we know that Jill does what Jill wants. 
    • I did notice a decline in the quality of the performers being cast once Betty R vacated/retired from her position. We would have been spared from the nightmares of some of the castings that dominated the show in the last decade or so of the soap. JFP was an example of someone, no matter the gender, who had no business being in the position they were in.
    • If Betty Rea was the casting director, why was so much of GL during JFP's reign cast by her? Walker, Deas, Crampton, Lando, etc. JFP takes credit for Dusay as well. What is the point of having a casting director, if you don't let her do her job? What happened when Rea left? 
    • So much on here slips my mind but this is the first I remember hearing of Peterson's passing. Very sad. Nell was a thankless role, clearly set up for a cheating storyline with Frank, but Peterson did her best.  Betty Rea Rea was the casting director for the soap opera “Guiding Light” from 1970 to 1996 and simultaneously the casting director for “As the World Turns” from 1979 to 1983.
    • Sorry, just one more post on the Thorntons. How did Ruth and Edna feel about each other prior to Tad dating Dotty?
    • I can't remember exactly but I think it may be 1995 as Jake was trying to hide from a loan shark.
