Better on B&B. 

 

That said...I feel it's a case of great actress, stuck with stupid writing. I like she finally has a great friendship with the character Audra, both women with ambition who don't mind scheming to get what they want. While she did not fit when she started on Y&R, she definitely fits in much better now. The greatest relationship was with Adam...who she broke it off with and barely interact with now though. Currently in a rebound(?) relationship with the whiny Billy Abbott. Ugh.

Possible SPOILER-ish question below...

Scroll on by, if you wish.

 

 

 

 

Okay, does this dude even know Phyllis and Sharon?  Does he know their history?  Why would he be the person to trap them together in a room for days, so they could work out their relationship issues?  Has he even had scenes with either of them?  Other than him being a nut, there seems to be no organic reason for him to be their kidnapper.

3-11

 

Another good start to the week though I do have mixed feelings. But that's because it's clear that the A story is going to be Sharon, The Giggly Heffa, and Saw-mazing Adventures, the B story is the Claire/Kyle/Summer triangle, and the Damian storyline appears to be the C plot with Amy off canvas...for now. And I've mentioned my worries about the writing when the Damian storyline isn't the dominant storyline. That said...so far, it's been pretty balanced out, so I'm not annoyed, dealing with characters I don't completely dislike. And a few new dynamics, too. 

 

Is it wrong that I was 'die, heffa, die' at Phyllis's poisoning? lol. Because that is how I felt. I found the writing annoying as a writer AND a SAW fan, but again what little that has been saving this story has been the chemistry between SC and MS. And there were some interesting interaction. And I kinda liked the riddle, but watching it somewhat I kept trying to think who would kidnap them. And the theme...forgiveness. Who do they have in common outside of sleeping partners? Cuz I am sure everyone is tired of their rivalry. So if today is the day when there is a rival of who it is...well I might see it before BTG...but I don't do the show live so it will be waiting regardless. Right now, I'm thinking Cameron is alive after all off the coda in yesterday's episode with the captor's convo with Sharon, but we will see.

 

Meanwhile, I admit that I was not expecting Billy and Nick to come to a meeting of the minds. Those two?? I was also surprised at a Victoria sighting because I was just thinking we have not seen her in two weeks or more? And I was like 'finally' when Chance told everyone that the police got proof that the ladies had been kidnapped. FINALLY...MOVEMENT.

 

So...Summer is finally making her play, too. And AL is playing it to the hilt now and giving vixen versus being whiny and beside herself about it. I don't like the storyline, but I like whiny Summer even less. A scheming Summer is one I have always gotten behind, so I liked watching the little ways she was making in-roads with Kyle. Using her worry about her mother. Interrupting every which way she could any dates Kyle and Claire go on. Her little 'ooh, it looks like Claire found someone' to Kyle. And...IT'S WORKING. Cuz Kyle sure did go to that bar with his body language and marking territory self. Summer walked off with her cat that ate the canary self. Not the way I wanted it to go, but as long as Summer is played as a vixen...I'm down. I'll be more down for it...when Claire allows her own claws to come out...which was also my biggest worry about JG doing a Summer/Kyle/Claire triangle when Summer was perfectly happy with Chance.

 

And yes, I did like the new potential wrinkle of moving Holden into the Summer/Kyle/Claire triangle. Holden and Claire had nice chemistry. And it's a way to keep the actor around after the drama he will more than likely cause for Nate and Audra is done. 

 

And...Audra, Audra, Audra. Le sigh. She had yet another chance to tell Nate the complete truth about Holden. Nate was right there and talking to her about Amy being gone for a while. He asked her again directly. Audra is still deflecting. Nate is still suspicious. Still, I really enjoyed their scenes as I love the relationship. And it continues to give Audra layers. Like when she was talking to Nate about how close she's grown to Amy and expressing her worry for Amy now that she's out of town and will not be immediately coming back after treatment, but heading to her hometown. Awwww Audra got a mother figure. Those were good scenes. 

 

Cautiously optimistic for the week now that there appears to be movement in most of the stories. 

 

Oh and wardrobe has been some glaring misses this week so far.

Poor Traci…

  I hope there’s some sort of explanation, because I really don’t like the twist…Griffith manages to even mess up couples that barely get screentime…

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By BoldRestless · Posted

      That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.

      Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?

      I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!

      That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.

      On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

      Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?

      I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By j swift · Posted

      It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)

      They could easily be re-created, or even re-shot in different ways, especially if they were re-shooting scenes at some point, as well.
