I haven't actively watched a daytime soap opera since AMC was cancelled, which at the time of my life was the saddest end of an era for me because I had been a faithful watcher since 1991.  On the other hand, it brought a much needed hour back in my day because I was starting a new career in a new city and I started a new relationship.  I had already stopped casually watching ATWT when that got canceled, and OLTL no longer held my interest at the time, so AMC was all I had left.

Fast forward 11-12 years later and to hear a new soap was debuting, I was shocked and intrigued.  I didn't really have hope given where we are in today's world of modern day soap operas, but I decided to check it out this week just to see... and I'm very happy!  So much potential and it has been very entertaining so far.  Yes, some actors are green, and I actively had to google character lists/family trees to keep everyone straight throughout the week haha, but otherwise I think we have a successful show on our hands if viewers will tune in!  

Dani, while so over the top, is very entertaining to me.  I think soaps should be a little over the top, so I don't mind it.  Leslie and her storyline is juicy and I can't wait to see how that unfolds.  Nicole is smart and I love the actress that plays her.  Anita and Vernon are royalty and perfectly cast in those roles.  I think Naomi is strong and interesting.  I can't wait to see how some of the other storylines outside of Dani/Bill/Hayley turn out.

I haven't experienced a real-time Friday cliffhanger in so so many years and it was like being a kid again!  Haha, I can't wait for Monday!  I do agree though, if that turns out to be a daydream, I won't be happy.

Not the mysterious box!!

Enjoying so far.

 

Lol. I really do feel that when it comes to her, it's genuine. But otherwise, I would agree with you. I look forward to seeing more of their history or if we get some form of flashbacks with them.

 

It really was. The light died in her eyes when Bill said that. 

 

KENYA!!! But hahahahahahaa

THIS!!!

Totally agree. As a matter of fact, yesterday when she went to pieces in the elevator what I saw was genuine, real crying, actually half-sobbing & half-screaming. But, to me it was authentic. 

I'm in black! But, I loved that all the Fairmont residents were dressed to the nine but IN BLACK & also loved the withering look Anita gave the two men who stood for the bride. Priceless! Sit your a*ses right back down in that chair!

Dani begging Bill was embarrassing, but it does add a layer to the character's current state. She is all over the place and it's not just anger.

When Vernon stood up and Anita told him to sit down that was such a good moment. She was like "Why are you standing up? Sit your ass down".

Was Leslie saying that Ted is Eva's father or did she mean something else? Seems like there might more to it because it's quite early to make a reveal like that.

Dani's dress is my favorite. Hair. Makeup. Design. Vibe. It's EVERYTHING. 

 

And seeing Anita show up halfway through the episode made me think of vintage Y&R. lol.

 

Cady!!!!

 

I like Bill's assistant.

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!  
    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was
