I added onto my above post that Martin may have married young because of his political ambitions. 

A trajectory all planned out.  Martin just said a couple of times in past two weeks that he wants something more (as if he's newly thinking about this) and now says he would like to run for president; but I suspect that's been his plan all along.    -- to run for president in 2032.

So by my theory/speculation, he is 28 years old now, and became a father at age 20-21  by adopting children who were already 7-8 years old at the time of the adoption.  That's the only way the timeline makes sense.

Smitty could be older than Martin.  Martin might have insisted on the marriage and family thing.

(but this is all *ONLY* my speculation)

 

 

Anita said in the first episode "a march on Washington in the 70s"

We should let go of what? Of our own opinions? Something that is personally mine and I'm not demanding anyone else share it...? Why? If someone is annoyed with my observation about the age-thing... then that's their problem. Not mine. 

Also... it's just an observation. NO BIG freaking DEAL. Nobody is saying this is going to bury the show. Give us a break. IT'S absurd and FUNNY. I am now even wanting Anita to become a great-great-grandmother in the future.

Why not.

To make the conversation fun, I am imagining Nurse Shanice calculating "When was that child born?  When did they marry? How old is he really? questions, questions?  And (pause) .. Oh look at that cute doctor over there, I should greet him!"

Well look at all those bubbles walking around on my screen.

I had hoped that looking at synopsis for this new week's schedule that it felt like this week would be more centered on Nicole and the B plot of Silk Press Sheila and Eva. So I was happy with yesterday's episode. Dani definitely needed a break from driving plot. And such a plausible excuse for her absence. It allowed the spotlight to shift to Nicole. And as my favorite character, I enjoyed everything I saw.

 

Her with her FOINE a$$ man and how much of a couple they are. Exploring the dynamic between her and Kat...loooong overdue. She even got some good scenes with Smitty which allowed to flesh out him and Martin. 

 

Kat v Eva was THE highlight for me. And love how so many people here and online have mentioned how Kat seem Blair Waldorf/Hillary Banks coded. Cuz I have been living for her outfits. But this episode allowed to see more of her and her layers. She's been focused, but sweet. So seeing her claws come out a bit and suspicious of Eva has given her more to do. And Eva held her own. And if Ted IS the father, a sister feud is already on. 

 

And as I mentioned yesterday, yes to Martin and Smitty being flirty and showing some hint of chemistry and dare I say it...love? It was nice to see their storyline fleshed out a little more. Martin is just coming across as a little too full of himself. Interestingly enough...not unlike his sister Kat. I do wonder if Martin is going to sabotage any attempt of Smitty to branch out. And we also have the issue of the dreams for them. But yay for conflict coming.

 

Oops. Not Silk Press Sheila maybe having a new problem to deal with in terms of potential cameras! Lol. I'm sure she got this. And oops again at Eva calling her out. So Silk Press really didn't tell Eva she was the one to run Laura off the road. So...potential for Eva to be redeemed once the truth comes out? And I hollered at Silk Press gaslighting Eva. She is next level...and I love it!!!

 

And you know what I also loved? DIEGO. From that head to that bod to what was in those sweats.  If we are going to have a himbo...he can be mine. lol. Meanwhile, it was nice to get a little more into what makes Vanessa tick since she's the early fave of the non-black characters. It seem like she would like her marriage to work, but Doug is hiding too much. So...she's looking elsewhere to feel special. And poor Doug...with a gambling issue. And as a doctor that's just trouble.

 

'Lady Karma is patient.' really stood out. Outside of the beginning, I really love the dialogue. And the episode really flowed for it to be just the B and C plots taking A plot's position. Special mention to seeing more of Jacob's life as well.

 

More please.

I love the show so far, and I know it's an American soap and ages will be inconsistent   and all, but Smitty talking about becoming an empty nester like Tom Bosley and Marion Ross is a latter-day Happy Days episode was a misstep.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I really have no problem with Kai as a character or with the actor. The problem is putting together two very nice people -- Kai and Trina. Neither of them has a bad side, neither of them has a devil on the shoulder, neither of them is impulsive. I think that's a problem in a soap relationship. Yeah, I agree. All this freaking out might make sense if Lulu wanted to do a tabloid expose on BLQ's LOVE CHILD. We have no indication that's the case.

      So Sonni would have somebody to talk to who she wasn't conspiring with (Will or Alan)? Alex kept telling Sonni how important her friends were...when she had virtually no friends. Instead they created loyal servants like Jane and Vera to give Alex people to play off of. They did that with Iris on AW, but Vivien was mostly there for comic relief Alex keeping Marah's paternity a secret was absurd. But I still love the scene between Alex and Alan where he convinces her by reminding her how they protected each other from their abusive father. Chris and Bev ATE that scene. Unfortunately, that took place only a few months before he exited the show...always thought they could have built on that, explored more how being Brandon's children screwed them both up. Maybe even used it as an explanation for the way their relationship could constantly swing from hatred to love. Instead of it being merely dictated by the plot.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By Xanthe · Posted

      The first one is Cass Winthrop dressed as Krystle Lake on Another World (not from his original creation of the character to hide from the loan shark Tony the Tuna, but at a romance convention trying to find out what had happened to Felicia who was missing). The second one is also Another World, Jake McKinnon as Doris although I don't recall what his purpose was.

      I know there was one brief scene in the summer of 1989 where Lillian did mention Calla.. but in relation to her past relationship to Ross and it was to Roger while he was a patient at Cedars.  I think he was trying to pump her for information on Ross.. and for some reason, Calla's name came up.   I could see perhaps Beth mentioning that her mother Lillian was visiting Calla.. but not exactly giving any sort of details as to the going ons in Calla's life off screen.

      Doctor Who

      They're neither great nor terrible AFAIK, but it is more a question of the streaming numbers in this day and age vs. actual TV airings. The Chibnall era reminded me much more of the crisis years, but I do think it's a very real possibility now as well due to the streaming bubble collapse affecting the show and its prospects.

      ANYTHING to get her off the screen..she COULD have been interesting if she and Van had a few face offs..(there was a mild one of her going back to work...but I wanted something meatier "Bitch, I am Vanessa Chamberlain and I don't take advice from someone who followed the..career path you did!" I did like Alex's outright disdain for her.

      Doctor Who

      By soapfan770 · Posted

      Thanks @Vee for the commentary.    I haven’t even watched this season yet after  I couldn’t get past the couple episodes last season…like it was too Disneyified for my taste, although I did think it was a least better than the Chibnall era (but so is a lot of things). I’ll probably go back and binge it now. Hoping this season ends on a high note. I did read the ratings are terrible. As it stands I’m beginning to feel like what long time DW fans felt with S26 in 1989.
