Btw... Some good news. My husband has agreed to watch the show with me. He had refused so far... Accusing me of wanting to watch too many shows at the same time.

But now... He's agreed to watch starting with episode 1 tonight!!!

I will have to binge all the episodes with him in the coming days. It will be interesting to see his reactions. He hasn't seen nothing but my wallpaper on my laptop (Silkpress ).

I'm excited to show him the show... And btw... in just less then an hour we are going to hit 2 years of marriage... So BTG will be in a way... Part of the festivities.   

Aaand I'll see how it feels when it's binge watched. Maybe I've missed some details.

Yes - that’s her name! Thank you. Hopefully, I’ll remember it now. I almost have everyone memorized at this point. Ashley’s mom is the only one I think. Oh, and Martin and Smitty’s kids. I’ll get there…

Add me to the Dani train. Is she a villain? Is she just snapping over what happened to her? She’s obvs completely obsessed with him. And I am here. For. It! 
 

I can’t stand Haley. For me, I can’t get past the actress. As long as she’s playing Haley, I’ll never have sympathy for her. The writing can only do so much.

I don't think it can be said that we're SUPPOSED to be rooting for Dani. Bill is definitely being painted as a villain, but Hayley is not. I think everyone in the "triangle" is pretty gray, but Bill and Hayley both painted more villainous than Hayley. 

There has been no heavy handed writing in Dani's favor and if anything she has been unnecessarily ruthless towards Hayley when Hayley has been painted as doing something good. 

Dani is polarizing for a reason and it is by design. 

Also if anything is wrong with the writing it is Guza's stench of one note plot heavy writing because only a few characters have had actual character development in three weeks.

You've not done any rewatches prior to this?

Are you gonna be okay with not being up to date & not being able to live post on this thread? 

I cannot wait to hear his reactions!!!

I am quite enamored of my two recruits opinions!!!

One of them gave some praise at first but then came through with a very detailed critique of SO MANY PRODUCTION PROBLEMS!!! OY!!! Our last conversation danced around thinking, ahead of time that we would be that bowled over by 27 sets only to find that the most fun instead is Wardrobe! This recruit is a married gay guy. He's something of a hardass & thinks they should have worked a bunch of this out pre-launch. Julie Hanan Carruthers was rude to him once & that can never be healed. 

The other recruit is a partnered lesbian who was in love with Sue Ellen when she was 6 years old. Then Anne Heche as Vicky cinched her love of soaps. She loves almost all of the characters but especially Leslie, Eva, Dani & Hayley. She blames Bill & doesn't fault Hayley at all. She's changed from FFing Ashley & Derek because now she likes Ashley but still cannot stand Derek. Loves Andre. She also had a ton of notes for Production but also says she's not bothered by it because they'll work them out & you can actually see them getting better in front of you. She's more patient & appreciates that she sees it evolving & being able to experience that with a new venture. 

These people you don't know are not boring to me, but if they are to you, sorry. I'll follow Queen Anita's advice & not make a habit of it.

Oh, no... I will, of course, continue watching live here with you guys... It will take us (me and my husband) just couple of days to catch up to the new episodes. In this time I will still watch the new episodes and repeat the old ones with him.

Predictable that I would not realize the particular method you will apply!!! My 2 recruits are primarily binging on weekends & I think they see it a bit different, but then wrong to compare to us anyway because we've been immersed since months before. I don't know anything about watching a soap via immersion. It may not even be a thing. I'm babbling. Main point: excited for Nikolai & cannot wait to hear who he likes, etc.

    • The thing that I am stuck on is that the in studio scenes in Egypt started airing in mid-October. It seems very strange that they would have planned to have a couple of weeks of studio scenes airing before they started showing location footage. Normally even though some scenes in a remote-infused storyline are in studio, they would start airing a mixture of studio and location footage at the same time. I suspect they had put Arizona in their back pocket well before the Achille Lauro (hence Hawk arriving in September) and possibly moved up the Egypt in-studio action so that the remote Arizona piece unfolded during November. The Achille Lauro may have been the final straw but I would bet it was not the first time they considered the risk. I have found one somewhat contemporaneous reference published on October 19th but pinned to an October 7th* "diary entry" mentioning that the location shoot in Egypt had been changed to Arizona. "International terrorism has its effect on daytime drama, too. Another World producers had scheduled an elaborate and expensive location shoot in Egypt this fall, But with the serious military attacks and hijackings going on, they decided to play it safe. They are going to Arizona instead. The cast members involved were disappointed but understood the decision." *Undated, but specified as the Monday before Melody Thomas's wedding to Ed Scott. But of course it's possible that the first draft referred to Egypt and was revised after October 7th to mention the cancellation before it went to press. But even making the decision the week of October 7th seems tight to get the Egypt scenes to air on the 17th/18th. I would love to find something from a daily news cycle that would be clearer about the dates.
    • So, Maxim, at this moment in time Evan is under the (mistaken) impression that, for no good reason, Rachel murdered his mother, in cold blood, and his ulterior motive for coming to Bay City is to get vengeance for this wrong that was done to his family & him.  Now, Rachel never murdered anyone. Janice had the knife on her & she pulled the knife on Rachel in the fight they were having. The reason they were fighting was because Janice had been poisoning Mac. So, this sets out the difference between the Frame family version of events & reality as the rest of us know it to be. Also no one in Bay City knows Evan is Janice's son. He goes by Evan Bates, not Frame.

                        Janice Frame is Evan's mother. Janice & Mac were together. Janice was up to no good. Mitch was helping her. She was slowly, little by little, every day, POISONING Mac. She was almost successful. In St. Croix, Rachel & Janice began what was literally a physical fight. They fell into the resort swimming pool, continuing to fight each other. Somehow, I guess Janice had it on her, there was a knife in play but Rachel kept Janice from stabbing her & got it away from her & they continued to struggle until Rachel stabbed Janice, which was a death blow. Mitch did a 180 & helped Rachel get Mac to the hospital. He was so weakened by the poison he could not even stand unassisted. It took both of them together to walk him to the hospital but it did save his life.  The St. Croix remote was SO beautiful, but so dangerous & scary. Also action-packed. Hooray! Maxim's backSo, I just got home & this is what I found waiting for me. I wrote this several hours ago. I guess I neglected to hit send.
    • Thanks @skylark and @DRW50!
    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Earlier I made a long reply but it doesn't exist. Crap.
    • I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.
    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
    • Hehe, twi/x actually x, formerly Twitter. Typically I find 2 sources for "crazy fan rumors" - the wrong parts of FB and x. Oy.
    • Not to hijack the thread, but was that character Justine? I just found this interview online with Logan and see what you're talking about - wow!   http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/chat85.html
