I dont like that Joey's mother is dead. I wanted them to hire a soap vet to play her

I know she’s retired, and has said she’d never do a soap again, but come on you know people would love this!

I’m really hoping Ashley and Derek die in a fancy Guza-style May sweeps event…

I still need Dani to drunkenly drive their car off the road

Not a good episode. All kinds of caricatures running around. Vanessa needs a brain transplant asap. She is NOT INTERESTING anymore. ONE-NOTE. To a point of cartoon.

And as I said yesterday and the day before - this frequent retelling of what happened all the time... is really irritating. That's Bradley Bell sh-t right there. So I'm gonna say it - after a great start... the show is struggling to maintain the dynamics of the first few weeks. I hope to God they get a good step going next week. As much as I want to constantly give them slack (because it's only month 2)... I'm also saying to myself - it's too early to feel so tired of these characters. Bradley Bell-ish writerisms all around. 

Again... nothing that can't be fixed. But work needs to be done, recasts need to be made. I didn't want to be a negative opinion... but I also can't lie. 

Another week, another chance. We'll see how it goes.

I wanted Robin Strasser for the role. I could also see Erika Slezak or even Susan Lucci

All good choices and definitely would have been more likely than Flannery. Haha 

Ya'll complain about the ages on this show but you want to cast women who are barely a decade older than this man? Make it make sense.

Totally agree.  I think this show has potential, I really do.  I really enjoyed the first two weeks and I do enjoy many of the characters, but these storylines right now are zzzz:  anything in the hospital (except Shanice!), the nurse documentary, the sexual harassment lawsuit, the gambling addiction.  We didn't get Leslie at all this week nor any movement to her storyline.  The previews for next week did look better and I'm excited for the fashion show event, but I sure hope they got more extras in the background than they did for Nicole's award ceremony.  If that fashion show only has the Dupree family and Vanessa, I'm going to LOL again.

Loads of potential exists with this show but it's like they're not stepping outside of the box, but instead, are operating the kind of vibe that soaps ran on 20+ years ago. I don't think it's going to work when all is said and done. I think people want something more different now, and I can't emphasize enough about the pacing.

People bitch just to bitch; if it's not their way, then it's not good or worth their time. Let's be real about that.

LOL I mean, you're not wrong 🤣 

But still, would visibly seem more appropriate/realistic than some of the other choices when folks are younger (like Smitty having two high school aged kids... I know Mike M's age would technically allow for it, but he looks so young to me).

Its easier to make women who are hovering around 80 look older. And quite frankly Jon Lindstrom looks good for his age. I pegged him at being late 50s, not 67. I just want things to look beleviable

Did you know that the girl playing the daughter is 30 and the boy is 19?

WHAT?!?  30 damn years old?  LOL - I mean, she looks great for her age, but that's a ridiculous casting choice if she's 30 years old.

I agree on Lindstrom - he looks good for 67 and I too want it to appear believable.

yes Najah Jackson was born January 10, 1995

 

 

Thats her from 2017's The Originals. She'd have been 21/22 here.

Bianca Lawson continues to play teenagers, and she's nearly 50.
