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…

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      By BoldKara · Posted

      Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that

      Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By EricMontreal22 · Posted

      Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      Please register in order to view this content

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene 

      Please register in order to view this content

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?

      ALL: General Retro Soap Discussion

      By EricMontreal22 · Posted

      But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).

      You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.

      You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
