Having an actress that can act playing Emma in that age group is a much needed counteract to the horrible material Joss always gets.

Trina could have legitimately served this purpose as well, but the show was never going to let that really happen. Trina’s on, but her material is written so insignificantly.

Emma's activism is such a refreshing change from the generic good/bad, studious/ballsy, etc. we've been served when it comes to younger characters. It's specific and doesn't go against what we know of her upbringing or her family.

It's sad that they really do not care.

I must say I enjoy LMAO at the "Joss is a WSB Agent" story.

The girl is so good that she accomplished all her training for an elite spy agency in about a month, with no previous experience or knowledge or training. Even better, she gets to do her first assignment in Port Charles! And Vaughan is her backup!

Keep the laughs coming, Frank!

Today would have been a good day for TJ to appear. He works at the hospital, and both Molly and Jordan had scenes at the hospital. He should have encountered one of them. Unfortunately, he appears to no longer exist.

It’s amazing they think the audience would just not remember Molly’s ex that was on the show for 13 years. 
 

Molly just saying all the stuff with Kristina is behind them now, shows the character is getting the same heavy handed writing as her father. Molly will probably forgive her for almost killing her dad now as well.

Always love Curtis vs Drew.

Honestly I’ve never commented on it and today I FF’d Joss as an WSB agent stuff because it’s so stupid. I sometimes feel like this show hates me

It’s amazing hearing Jason call Brennan’s world more dangerous than the mob world with him and Sonny. Didn’t Michael get shot in the head as a child? Didn’t Carly get shot giving birth to Morgan by Sonny? Didn’t Michael just blow up and catch on fire at Sonny’s apartment?

Ric wakes up and his first words are Elizabeth. Love it.

Lucy literally going door to door to coerce people into performing at the Nurses’ Ball cracked me up. Kai looked legitimately unsettled.

One irritating detail—having Sidwell “fully underwrite” the Ball, so that Lucy actually turned down donations from Drew and Curtis. That’s not how fundraisers work. Just call Sidwell a lead sponsor.

I'm glad they haven't killed the character off yet. Somehow after years away Ric returns to some of the only complex relationships on the show, all with women he has real chemistry with (and he also works well with Molly).

Even if I believed they were equally dangerous worlds, which is a stretch, why would Jason think Carly would care?  She's spent her entire life ignoring the danger of Sonny/Jason's world. Brennan's life being risky won't deter her at all. Jason is basically just wasting his breath here.

I think he was pretty clear about his meaning which is basically the devil you know as compared to the one you do not know. He did not say what you just typed, that one world was more dangerous than the other.

Of course, the reason matters, because he wants to know how Elizabeth is, after the wreck.

I don't know if this will be of interest to others or not. When I edit the first thing I do is create a base file where I've gotten rid of everything I am not interested in. Yesterday's base file is just under 19 min. which for me is SO LONG!!!!

It’s truly a waste of time. And the message is coming from the wrong person entirely.

 

It really makes me so happy as a longtime Ric fan to see how well they’re treating him this run. Hearst still has chemistry with all of his old scene partners and already has it with his new ones as well.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
