Same. I mean I do wonder if we will still get some form of the Have-Nots scenes period.

Very.

 

I see he has improved since the last time he was on...but he was easily the worst actor on the show for me. And yes, that includes Derek.

Does anyone else think Jan and the moose head was a tribute to Aunt Mary and her moose on Generations?

-- Chelsea and Allison have chemistry, sure, but I think Chelsea is headed in the wrong direction. Being with a woman is great (although I hate the whole "I don't believe in labels" thing), but Allison is MARRIED. Shouldn't Chelsea give more thought to getting serious with a married woman?

-- So I guess Anita really was the Diana Ross of the group.

-- The Derek and Ashley stuff was bad as usual. I saw no improvement in the writing for them. Honestly, I'm glued to their scenes because I cannot believe what I'm seeing. The writing for them is god-awful and a joy to watch. Those poor actors....

It was nice watching live last week, but back to catching up later in the day for me.

Derek expecting Ashely to sell something she clearly said was important to her to free up space and make some money was weird - especially when he's bringing that ugly chair into that tiny space. His whole behavior around this move is off putting but also seems so random and out of characters (although it's not like we know much). 

Anita possibly wanting Dani and Naomi to join her on this tour? What??? How's that make sense. Glad the convo veered towards Anita wanting to fix things with the Articulettes. Would be great to have some characters to interact with Anita and see what mess may have lead to the group's demise. 

Lord, the actors that play Martin and Chelsea still have a lot of growing to do. They've come a long way, but it's less noticeable when they are paired with a stronger actor. Their scene together was coming across as a Discovering Yourself after school special/Health class video about sexuality. PFLAG definitely had that video series on talking to your kids about sexual identity. It's just so sterile. 

Eva and Leslie are just pure gold. There were so many great lines and delivery today. It was such a fine watch. Only thing I didn't love was the absurdity of Leslie's interaction with Martin and Vernon...it was a bit much. I wanted a bit more sinister and yes over the top, but it gave crazy instead. 

Hopefully, they'll tease that Martin dream a little more clearly to have us build speculation and excitement. So, it seems the only ones that know are Vernon, Anita, and Bill.

YES its his fault and she never should have said yes. She lives in an efficiency. Studios are meant for ONE PERSON. Its not some big 900 sqft loft. Its a very tiny one from what we see. He's cheap AF and the only suitable option for them living together should have been for him to talk about getting a new 1-2 bedroom apartment. At his big age, he shouldnt have roommates, but he did which means he should have money saved up to afford a 1 bedroom on his own. He'd have Ashley's income to support the household so he probably would'nt cost him that much more than he's currently paying for. Ashley gets zero benefits from letting him into her space. I dont like her and Im pissed for her. Everything about how this was handled is a walking red flag. This guy is not the one. Abort mission and find someone else

 

Also the fact of the matter is he is moving into her space. Its beyond rude for him to start moving in that very same day without even giving her a chance to make room for him first. And telling her she needs to sell her stuff to accommodate him shows he lacks self awareness. I don get the rush but he definitely needs to invest in a nearby storage unit bc realistically he cant bring everything over that he had at his last place. He is wrong for how he is handling this.

That part. 

I forgot about that, but I could never forget about her special truffles. 

 

 

 

I am looking so forward to this.

      New Audio Soap Montecito

      By alwaysAMC · Posted

      Thanks for starting this thread!  I was hoping others were listening and would want to chat about it. I'm really enjoying Montecito!  The production and audio values are top notch. The storylines are interesting and keep me wanting more.  There is corporation succession, cheating, alcoholism, bisexual relationships, divorced parents, brother/sister drama, scorned mother, father/son relationship issues, etc. At first I couldn't stand Mena's (sp?) voice, but I've grown to enjoy her and I love to hate her as a villain. I keep hearing Smitty (BTG) in Mike Manning's voice, so it keeps throwing me haha. The only thing going against it is one episode per week, at only 18 minutes long, so we need more content. Anyone else listening and enjoying it?

      This, plus they nixed their overnight set crew during the COVID era and never brought them back.

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By j swift · Posted

      I did some research because I had a similar question. (also, I don't want to poop on your joke which was amusing, but it sent me down a rabbit hole) A Reddit user who works at TeleVision City (where Y&R is filmed) estimated it takes 45 minutes to set up or reconstruct an already built set.  However, according to union rules, it takes at least seven crew members (not counting lighting and sound installation).  As always, the real cost is the labor, not the task.   Y&R uses robotic cameras, so there is only a skeleton crew on set.  Most of their crew budget goes to production assistants, who cannot move sets.  So, they would need to hire a crew every time they wanted to put up or take down a set (for two days) as well as a lighting and sound design installation.  Which is obviously very different from how production worked when money was more freely spent (and good for the unions for keeping the workplace safe). So, filming a single day in Lauren and Michael's living room could cost as much as they spend on two actors salaries for an entire year.

      The Nurses' Ball has always been cringey, fast forward material for me, but especially during the Frank era. The musical numbers and audience reactions are unwatchable.  So many of the conflicts on this show feel phony and manufactured. Probably no better instance is the Gio - Dante crap. Gio's whole story is inorganic, plot driven, no stakes, fake conflict; giving people lame drama just to give them drama, a prime example of GH under Frank.

      What is the reason why soaps can’t use whatever sets they want? How exactly does it cost money..? I’m sure they still have Michael and Lauren’s house, why can’t they just put it up and shoot it when needed lol

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Chris B · Posted

      I'm binging last week and I still find it so odd how different the show feels. Before I felt like each episode felt so long but the show is gliding by now. I'm on Thursday and it's crazy how real the characters feel. It doesn't feel like Days of Our Lives because I'm so used to everything being slapstick. It's definitely nice seeing layers to the characters now. I'm beginning to feel really confident about the coming months when the new headwriters can introduce their own stories.

      And, Dani's focus, whoa, when she deigns to really pay attention, her focus is laser sharp. And, Chelsea is a natural attention seeking target for Dani. She is so much more mother than I realized before.
