Listen, I think this back and forth about the word "underdog"is getting kinda petty. Which I think is unnecessary. I write from my heart and don't want to then have to proof and defend every word I use and... if a certain word is appropriate and etc. I don't have the free time to do this. Your opinion is as valid as mine. But If you need to feel like you are right - okay, you are. But I still stand by what I said. Maybe I am mistaken... maybe I don't possess a perfect level of the English language...I'm sorry... It is the only language I have never used to speak and communicate other than this forum. So it's possible that I may be incorrect. But the words "underdog" and "outsider" are considered synonyms by every dictionary I checked. Maybe they are all wrong and you are right. Anyhow, when I stated my opinion I said that it's my POV. I don't think I'm wrong, so I am not going to say it. That's it. And of course I am using the words in the context of the storyline and the character.

Just skip it. You totally & completely misunderstood. I could care less about being "right". As far as I am concerned this has nothing to do with "right" or "wrong" either for that matter. We were both speaking contextually & I suggested that we simply see the character of Hayley differently. English being your second language here is irrelevant. Why? Because you do fine. Not a problem, at all. So, to me, we had reached a point of agreeing to disagree. For you, that is not where you are. Okay, whatever.

And, BTW, I don't see any pettiness.

 

What I was about to say was how much fun we are all having doing live time, rapid fire, posting about BTG!

I don't think there has to be a male with the surname Dupree to pass down the name through the next generations.   A woman can be born with the surname Dupree and pass it down to her offspring, regardless of whether she marries anyone of a different surname or not.

As we all are enjoying Leslie, I hope MVJ avoids the trap many soap writers get in of writing villains into a corner. I feel like they tend to go too far but then want to keep the character on and either have to retcon an illness or make everybody on the show look stupid to justify keeping them on. If she goes too far, let her go to prison and write her off similar to how Bill Bell wrote off Michael Baldwin but then brought him back years later after he'd gone to prison and was rehabilitated.

So we wearing black today to the wedding?

Please register in order to view this content

 

 

I thought yesterday's episode was the low key of the bunch. But given what's going down today (and you know I'm looking forward to that Friday cliffhanger  ), this was a nice calm before the storm.

 

I liked the Naomi/Bill scenes. Naomi, for me, has not have much agency since the first episode. And also we have yet to see her with her father so those were good. I like Bill and feel Timon continue to show layers. But the one layer I don't feel I've seen yet has been pure menace that I expect from the soap trope he represents. That said...Naomi...you...betta...READ.

 

Why yes, @kalbir, I do love a hair toss/diva head turn have at you. Joan Collins on Season 2 of THE ROYALS. Jill Foster Abbott with her whore hair in the Y&R opening from the 2000s. Dr. O when she appeared in 2013 for the 50th on GH. And now here's Chelesa during her model shot. I've been looking forward to that hair toss since the trailer dropped. And I was NOT disappointed. Mmmm...worth the wait. And now that I know who Chelesa is, I love it even more.

 

But I loved everything about those scenes. You got to see more of Dani's dynamic with her and Kat. Like I said the other day, Dani continues to be played as no saint even as you feel sorry for her. And she still don't even know that Chelesa and Kat are about to cut her out. And then...Andre...

 

MMmm...Andre. I ain't mad at you, Dani!!!!  And they had chemistry, too. So another avenue for Dani to go down. Well, if we didn't already know Andre is a player. Still...I loved their scenes and how he tamed the shrew...for now. And that dance to smooth music. YES. Love in the afternoon is soooooo back!!

 

And speaking of music, none of it felt artificial and that I love so much. It made me want to go out and figure out who sung what...and that's a BIG sign to how great a show is to me because a lot of the shows/movies I like WILL have me wanting to hunt down the music I heard on them. Meanwhile, I don't know if the bar set is part of the other bar set. If not, I love both of them. 

 

I liked Ashley/Derek and Jacob/Naomi hanging out at the bar. Like real friend couples. Kinda dull, but it gave us a little more info on all the characters as Ashley continued to worry about her job. 

 

LMAO at @Cheap21!!! SilkyPressed Sheila it is!!! I had time running around work and saw that and hollered. 

 

I guess typing all this out, this episode was all about the B plots and C plots. I don't mind that. Because there are sooooo many dynamics to explore on this show...some we haven't even seen yet (I see you in the background of Hayley's surprise party, Alex!)...and I just want to devour it all.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
