I think it's okay to show shirtless guys who don't have a six pack, just as it's okay to show women who aren't size 0 in a bikini. 

I continue to enjoy Drew as this type of bad guy. We need more villains like this - someone who isn't a threat to kill someone, or trying to take over the world, or a mob related bad guy. Love watching him reveal to Portia that he knows about falsified records.

Drew is such a prick now and everyone knows it except Willow. Cameron is perfect in this new portrayal of Drew Quartermaine. I’m curious which lie or scheme will be the one to blow up their relationship.

I also liked that Brad had an average body.

We got so little of TJ’s point of view. And then they broke them up and he just vanished so the show could really hammer home that we shouldn’t care about him because they don’t care about him.

Cody feels old for Molly. And they have no chemistry.

And lead to his murder mystery.

Oh, we are actually getting Miami. Not that there's anything wrong with average.

 

 

Except your taste is better than Ron.

Drew’s blackmail scheme doesn’t make a ton of sense because exposing Portia would require him to come out in favor of Heather’s release…which happened already anyway. Politically it seems like it would behoove him to stay away from the whole situation.

It's another way to phase Trina out of the show in a way where they know viewers won't miss her.

I don't see how it can, but hopefully they will not have a massive drop.

GH's drop week-on-week wasn't that bad. The issue is more the drop from this time last year. Unfortunately, they are likely to read the wrong tea leaves, especially since they made some changes that should have been good for the show last year and their only reward was a sizable ratings drop they haven't fully recovered from.

Molly is an interesting case because the actresses who have played her as an adult seem younger than the character might be in other hands. Like Belle on DAYS, who immediately seemed 40 once Martha Madison took over. I see the previous Molly (the one who lasted about five minutes) was 40, although I don't remember if that was noticeable onscreen.

Haley Pullos looked too young to play the surrogate story and this current stuff.  And, yes, it was very noticeable when OldMolly was playing the part lol. She looked 40. 

The current Molly looks older than HP of course.  I believe KV is 28 which is what I imagine Molly's age should be.  She's probably been aged up a bit since HP left the role.  There is no way Cody isn't 40 given the whole Dante/Brook/Gio story.  Dante and Cody are older than BLQ.  JK looks his age (42).  In real life, that wouldn't necessarily give me a pause.  Molly seems pretty mature.  I just think about DZ playing a full grown adult when Molly was a child so Cody just seems like an entire different generation in age.

Don't even get me started on MM as Belle.  Yes, she looked like a 40 year old soccer mom from the jump lol.

Martha Madison was always a bad, bland choice who looked too old. She has cultivated audience appreciation by being so engaged with fans but she basically ended Belle as a lead over time.

Vaganos comes off a bit too old and stiff for me as Molly, the eternal temp. But I still think they should've just written her and T.J. out. The character is tired and needs a break, and can come back single sometime.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
