I feel like Chelsea is going to end up in a situation where one of the people in these threesomes is going to get jealous and go off on her.

Leslie's anger toward Eva today showed how dangerous she really is. We already know she's not too sane, but that ending showed she is willing to go off on Eva too.

-- Did anyone else Daphnee Duplaix in a guest role on last night's St. Denis Medical? She played a wealthy hospital benefactor in the final scene.

-- Not buying Chelsea going in so hard on her mother working with her. Didn't we get weeks of Chelsea wanting to be on her own?

-- Derek and Ashley did all they could with those magazine relationship quiz scenes. The actor playing Derek had his best day today.

-- I do not believe the show has already shown that they know Derek and Ashley aren't working.

-- Vanessa and Doug have a lot of sexual chemistry -- certainly more than Vanessa and Joey.

I think so too. For the first time... he was above studio-produced porn acting. I don't know if I'm just getting used to all of these people, but everyone seems to be improving. Absolutely everyone.

I haven't watched this weeks episodes yet beyond some clips but I did want to go back to the conversation about criticism for the show. I think part of why everybody is on a different page is because it's been so long since we had a new soap and everybody has didn't expectations and time-tables in mind.

I know for myself there are many things I'd change but overall I am still enjoying the day-to-day. The changes I want are more based around the production model and casting. I am still enjoying the writing and the pacing. But I also keep in mind we're still watching stuff from before the show aired. We know they're continuously making tweaks behind the scenes and we know we have something significant coming in May, in addition to a major recast. Even then, we'll only be looking at changes they made based on what they saw while still in a bubble without the show airing. It could be another 2-3 months before we see any changes based on the public reaction to the show.

For me, that's why I've chosen not to focus so much on the negatives. It's very rare a soap launches perfectly and as long as I can enjoy the show on a day-to-day basis, that's all I need right now. I guess for me the point I'd start to really be critical would probably be August-September. I feel like that's enough time to work out kinks and make changes based on feedback. 

But I will say, reading all of the different opinions in here is part of my joy watching the show. I don't expect everybody to think the same as me and I enjoy seeing everybodys thoughts, even if they aren't enjoying the show.

This show has a lot of interesting elements, but a lot of boring filler material too. Perhaps if it was 30 minutes, we'd get more of the interesting and less of the boring. 60 minutes, especially for a brand new soap, is hard.

I thought that was intentional -- because they cut from Vanessa/Joey to Doug/Andre -- Andre asking Doug about his injury, while Doug was thinking about Joey's threats. They showed Vanessa and Doug never in the same scene as each other throughout the episode, and indicating perhaps that Vanessa and Joey were thinking about sex with each other... and then near the end of the episode Doug noticing through the restaurant window that Joey/Vanessa were sitting together.
And then suddenly, at the end, the surprise to the viewers of Vanessa/Doug having sex.

I acknowledge that some editing in this series is choppy.  But I wasn't bothered by the transition from Vanessa/Joey to Doug/Andre.

Some people are saying there are no longer any surprises after two months. This was certainly a sexy, pleasant surprise!

Speaking of sexy, who here would have rathered a scene with Chelsea and company getting down instead of Derelict and Ashley?

Thanks for the heads up. I don't normally watch that show but will check out her episode.

 I literally said the same thing (much Harsher) last night to a friend.

Me LOL.

Yeah, I spoke about this briefly with @Cheap21. It's much needed.

Nicole looked elegant as always in her suit and Ted in the Hugo Boss jacket with the label prominently displayed. That is unusual to have logos on show.

We would expect the actors to improve as timer goes on. If you're starting out, never worked on a soap before with the workload involved some might struggle. 

Now if in a few more months those same actors are still  struggling, some hard decisions will have to be made.

      Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission.

      Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.

      I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube.

      Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her

      @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

      https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.
