At a certain point, she needs to realize her marriage is over (for now) and it wasn’t just Haley’s fault. How many episodes in a row does she need to harp on the same things?

They need to explore other aspects of Dani. She’s becoming very one-note.

Does anyone think perhaps the actors playing Martin and Smitty have been directed not to touch?  Otherwise, I would think two gay actors (assuming they are gay) would naturally touch one another more naturally in a scene between to married gay characters.  I realize the relationship is struggling, but still they have said tender lines to one another, but almost never touch.  Something is fishy here, if you ask me.

And if Chelsea ends up having a three-way with a married couple, I would assume that would be far more potentially offensive to the audience than a married gay couple showing genuine affection. Hmmm.

So it's okay for a straight married couple to invite a 3rd person into their bed, but not okay for a gay married couple to be at least moderately affectionate.  Again, something's fishy...

Yes yes yes, bark back louder so that maybe she’ll sit her ssa down. I’m not even going to participate in dialogue about it bc I’m slowly remembering that feeling of talking to a brick wall when you’re pointing out clear facts re: soaps. Dani making it her everyday mission to confront Bill and Hayley does absolutely nothing for her - not as a person within this fictional world nor as a character on this TV show. It’s not going to bring Bill back (and why would she want him back at this point?), it’s not going to restore her confidence, it’s not going to get her paid, etc. She’s lucky it hasn’t gotten her prison yet, but if she keeps at it, it just might.

Mike Manning who plays Smitty is bisexual irl. 

P&G in the past put limits on what the gay roles on ATWT and GL could do

So I'm not shocked

Maybe Smitty and Martin are not affectionate because Smitty is miserable and unfulfilled being a stay at home dad and Martin is selfish and controlling because his only concern is his political ambitions and having the perfect home life is part of the image he feels is needed. I would not be surprised if Martin instigated the marriage and the adoptions to help with the image. Adopting older children would fulfill this without the work of babies. Regardless I am happy to watch it play out instead of making assumptions.

Dani's smirk at the meme was giving Maria Roberts (OLTL) when she was fantasizing about shooting Viki. And her showing up at Hayley's house was very much Erica Kane because Erica would go to Brooke's house to talk smack.

Hayley's wardrobe is basically a modern version of how tacky characters dressed on old soaps minus the bright colors.

Eva is a villain, but Kat's elitism is making it easier for me to root for Eva.

    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that charcter. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.    
    • 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. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion.
