When it comes to nuTed I'm not going to dwell on it but he isn't for me. The voice, the look and the low energy is not working for me. Maurice had a commanding presence and I don't see this actor ever matching that. I know he'll stick around so I'm just going to focus on the other characters in the story going forward.

Another thing I gotta say is that I am at my wits end with Derek. I don't wanna hear about this mediocre white man with his shirt off. He could be butt naked and it won't change that he is absolutely one of the worst actors who has ever been on contract in soap history. To see his performance today when we have our first recast really made me want to snap. The show needs to be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves for keeping this guy around. He has less talent than Charity Rahmer. At least with her there was a comedic value but Derek gives nothing.

  • Uh-oh, trouble is a-brewin' between Bill and Dana. What could come out of them meeting up?
  • Derek is a complete slob; I'd dump him over it. I really would.
  • I appreciate that Ted is not running away from his actions nor trying to really excuse them. He's accepting them. But I need more responsibility to be owned up to.
  • Bill just read Dana to filth about her names and wigs, and I kind of love it. They definitely are giving villainous lovers to me.
  • Ashley isn't this loose or at ease with Derek... but she is with Andre. This is proof that Andre is the guy for her!
  • And just as I wanted to try and forgive Ted, he goes and tries to gaslight Naomi in defence of Bill.
  • Ouch... imagine your "mom" forgetting it was your birthday. How horrible. Eva deserves better.
  • Eva, you should've kept your mouth shut... because you just put Laura's accident back on Dana's mind.
  • Once again, Katherine is smarter than a lot of soap cops; she may be in the business with Chelsea, but she should be going out for detective. And I am sure no one will believe her again.
  • June is still being June; I pray she does not change to appease others.
  • If my boyfriend keeps having to come to me after things have happened... that is a red flag to me that there is something wrong in our relationship.
  • So, Dana does not like the word "crazy", does she? Because, if the shoe fits... maybe she would prefer clinical terms instead? The Dupree grandchildren love recording things they likely shouldn't be. Audio. Video. It's a trend/character trait.
  • Yes, Dana has a very vivid account... let that speak volumes, Katherine. Do not fall for this bitch's scheme again. You know the truth. Seek it.

Notes:

  • "The role of..." voiceover is back, and I couldn't be happier about it. I miss those voiceovers so much. Welcome aboard, Keith D. Richardson, because you are excellent! Hitting the ground running, emoting, and most importantly, no rocking or swaying while you're meant to be still.

I'm not caring for Ashley right now. Initially, I liked her but not right now. Currently, I don't care for her individually or with Derek. I can understand her not liking him doing stuff like leaving things around/drinking straight out of the carton. But she still comes across as immature and sheltered to me with her approach in trying to deal with him/their relationship.

You can tell she's never really lived with anyone before outside of Jan. She needs to grow up a bit and get some more life experience. Derek probably should just move out at this point.

I don't want Ashley near Andre either. Andre has grown on me and deserves someone more interesting and more mature.

    • I read that somewhere too - maybe it was mentioned in that book? I hope it's true.
    • I took a break from Edge of Night to finally start watching this. I watched the first week's worth of episodes. I started off chronologically even though they released the show originally with the Barnabas era first (don't know when he comes in). I had those discs in the complete coffin collection. I'm watching the complete series on Amazon so I hope Amazon doesn't pull a Knots Landing and yank the series before I finish as I don't have all of the beginning episodes. Thoughts: I appreciate the creepy black and white vibe and how everything is so mysterious even when it's just people walking into rooms. I also like seeing actors I know (Louis Edmonds, Joan Bennett, Mitchell Ryan, Conrad Bain (although he might be a cameo), etc.). It was nice to finally see Joel Crothers as I have yet to see him on Edge of Night. Crothers is quite looking so I wish he'd show up on EON. Mitchell Ryan is also attractive. I like how they set up Devlin's animosity towards the Collins family during this week.  We're left to wonder why Roger is so upset. Why is Devlin angry? What happened to Roger's wife? Who wrote to Victoria? Not much has really happened but I'm intrigued. The dialogue is certainly not on the level of EON. It amuses me they leave bloopers in. Bennett in particular struggles with doors. Was this filmed live?

    • Happy Mother's Day from Ernestine Johnson Morrison (Nurse Shanice) video, sound on https://www.instagram.com/p/DJhGWm_ABNl/          
    • @BoldRestless @fivethej Apologies for the late reply! But yes as far as I know I do still have the tape. I remember asking for instructions on this wayy back in 2020, but I will definitely reach out. Only issue is I know my VHS tape collection is in my basement, which looks like the Chancellor mansion attic at the moment.

      Also I while I still have DVD/VHS combo player do they even hook-up to modern TV sets or still need a CRT TV? Just asking as I know some folks being off off guard when trying to hook older equipment like some VHS sets and older game consoles quite unsuccessfully 
    • It's evident that there was reset of Derek and Ashley's storyline. The attempt to build tension over Derek not resting enough after being injured on the job was not working but the tension over moving in together is. The characters are still not thrilling, but today they at least were worth paying attention to. The writers do want Ashdre and they are easing toward it again. 
    • Yes, I believe that is the case. ABC wanted Siobhan and Joe to be a very popular couple and apparently didn't think Sarah Felder was glamorous enough. I don't know if this story is true, but I heard somewhere that Felder told everyone off at her farewell party because of the reason she was fired. If it's not true, it should be!

    • And so it's Andre and Ashley again? Why don't they go ahead and make something bad happen between them? I don't trust the stereotypical vibe. I don't.
    • I guess neither Stephanie or Leo are ever going to investigate the gaping plot holes in the Bob-ette storyline. Other random Thoughts for Thu If Sophia was going to leave Tate alone after he was faint and had a fever, thank goodness she's not planning on raising a baby! Finally, Xander expressed that this situation with Philip was not Victor's desire.  Victor clearly wrote his desires in his will right before he died, and those plans did not include Philip at Titan. I can't with the laws of Salem.  Adults with nut allergies can sue for negligence when they eat a bakery known for using pistachio in their scones, but people discuss insider trading and kidnapping like it is no big deal. It is so simple to research why they have no standing to sue to Sweet Bits (regardless of what the server said). I ignored Brady and Kate being on the board, because that was plausible.  But, Abe is on the board of directors?  That's a stretch. I'm staying mum on Versavix for today, I've had my say....    
    • I do love that the episode ended with Kat exclaiming when she was alone "Gotcha!"
