I know the interactions were brief, but I don’t see any friendship rapport or chemistry between McClain and Mosley. Pamela just seems like a quickly created character for Cady to keep her SAG insurance. Meh so far on her. 

I would have much rather she’d be a friend of Anita’s or something.

FYI the transcript site is up (the site that has recaps and transcripts for US soaps and some primetime) :
https://tvmeg.com/index.php/daytime/beyondmain/

"Updates" is their word for "recaps". 

 

As of the Mon March 3rd episode, I think it's still the same "Fairmont Crest day" as the first episode.  They had breakfast at the club, when Hayley showed up and Dani punched her.
The wedding was the same evening, I believe.


From the Feb. 24 transcript:

Hayley: You realize that’s the last time I’ll ever have to ring that doorbell? Finally getting the keys to our brand new home. I can’t believe I’m going to be living in Fairmont Crest.

<snip>

Hayley: Well, I’m choosing to stay positive. Sure, it’ll take time to be accepted. I’m sure Dani’s poisoning everyone against me. But, I am confident that if I’m patient and persistent, things will work out. They always do. I assume the designer has finished furnishing the house?

Vanessa: All done.

Hayley: Excellent. I can’t wait to take a look around. Thanks so much for your help and your discretion.

<snip>
(phonecall dialogue)

Bill: Hey babe, how’s the house?

Hayley: Uh, above and beyond my wildest dreams, babe.

Bill: Hey, that was the plan, right? Where are you now?

Hayley: I’m at the country club, about to go to the restaurant for a bite. I am famished.

--------------

From that dialogue, I assume Hayley and Bill hired an interior designer to furnish the home.  They just got the keys and are spending their first night as a married couple in their new home -- the first night either of them have slept there.
The couple may have expressed some preferences to the interior designer, but I don't think the home has the couple's personal touches yet.
 The paintings on the walls might be as random as what you see in a hotel suite?  Therefore I speculate that the sets for the rooms in Bill&Hayley's home are supposed to look generic.   If the marriage survives, maybe the home will look more personalized.

 

--editing later:  As was pointed out belowthread: They've had the house for three days, not one.

I like most of the young cast, even the really green ones show promise. But Eva is killing it so far.

The show is fun to watch. We are still in the introduction phase, so I can’t really get too bogged down in details that are just forming. But it is fun, and that’s something I haven’t felt about GH in a long time.

This is Suzanne Lanoue's site. She also has a general TV fan group on Facebook. We've been friends since the 90s. But on this site, TV Mega etc., she has recaps going very far back & some are long form, some short & these which are derived from CC. So if CC got it right, nuff said.

Are you saying the show is still on its first "day," or is this what that site is saying? In the world of Fairmont Crest, the show is on day 3.

Dani and Hayley's confrontation was Day 1. The model photoshoot for Chelsea was Day 2, with Dani and Andre having sex that very night. The wedding was on Day 3, with Dani and Andre having a morning after conversation, Dani confronting Bill before the wedding, and then Dani pulling the gun on Hayley and Bill that very night.

In fact, there were scenes where characters specifically said Hayley and Bill's wedding is on "Friday," so there is no way all this took place in one day.

Okay thanks.  Somehow I thought it was all the same day within the Fairmont Crest universe.
Ah, I totally forgot that Andre spent the night with Dani, (how could I have forgotten LOL ) so of course my theory made no sense.

Okay so then to correct my original post:
Bill and Hayley have had that house for three days, not one.  But still my reasoning works for why their home seems generic -- they haven't lived there and they hired someone to furnish it.

      Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By chrisml · Posted

      Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April.

      How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.

      You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.

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

      Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now.

      But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.

      This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
