Silk Press Sheila and Joey meeting was the interaction I was waiting for and I wasn't disappointed.   I want more

Donnell is a promising character played by a good actor... please don't waste him on Samantha.

The dialogue was a little cringy today with Chelsea going into detail about Eva instead of just saying Eva's name.. and the whole 'Queendom' wordings.

I'm curious to see how the tone changes once Guza officially departs the writing team and replaced with an unproven head-writer (although she did come up with the story for an Afterschool Special back in 1990 called A question About Sex about a mother and daughter on opposite sides of an issue about sex education) so it sounds as though she could come up with some interesting parent/child conflict.   

Although Guza's touch was on the show.. but I guess I'll have his two horror movies he wrote to tide me over this Halloween season.

Lastly, I'm glad the show finally indicated that Kat is more like her aunt Dani than her mother Nicole.

Eva/Tomas seems to be treading ground... is there going to be a twist and/or another potential love interest for Eva.

They did it again when Anita was on the phone- 'that was Jackie , the impersonator who married a drunken Dani and Andre in Las Vegas.'-those info dump sentences need to be cut.

That's an excellent example of a line that should've never seen the light of day.  

I'll fix it for them.  

VERNON:  Which Jackie?

ANITA:  Jackie Tyree -- the Anita Williams Impersonator from Vegas.

VERNON:  I hope you told her she shouldn't have conducted that ---

ANITA:  What's the point?  It's too late. Dani and Andre are married.

VERNON:  They were drunk.

ANITA:  What we need to concentrate on now is getting the marriage annulled. She offered us an open invitation to come see her act the next time we're in Las Vegas.

I still crack up whenever I see "Silk Press Sheila" mentioned in these threads.  You know you've done something right when your audience nicknames one or more of your characters almost right away, lol.

They aim to please.

Valarie Pettiford is incredibly versatile. She was totally hilarious as Big Dee Dee on Half & Half and can also play totally serious with no problem.

That's the vibe I got from her when she came on as recast Amy on Y&R. Even though the writing tried to play her weaker, Valerie still gave a vibe of strength beneath the surface. 

Oooooooooo so Nicole is the One Who Got Away to Carlton. VERY interesting.

Same. I saw a few comments about how dare SPS be at Doug's Funeral. And I didn't like how it started out *cough*cartoon*cough* when it is a genius idea of her to go to it to network herself into some form of respect from the people behind the gates *cough*cloutchaser*cough*

And then she made eyes at Joey and...immediate intrigue and chemistry. 

 

I seem a team-up in the future. Especially when Joey falls foul of the Duprees. 

They really had Dani demanding '3 orgasms a day' on CBS in the afternoon, on Douglas Marland's network! What a time to be alive.

BTG has its issues but its candor is to be applauded. I never thought I'd see the day for soaps. Especially when GH, which used to take a ton of risks, cannot and will not approach sex like that today (despite briefly brushing up against it last spring with the Drew/Nina sexcapades which also had some very blunt talk early on).

Guza did several classic Canadian slashers in the '80s, most famously the original Prom Night with Jamie Lee Curtis and the pretty solid Curtains with Samantha Eggar and Linda Thorson. (Its ice rink kill sequence is still being homaged today, including in The Black Phone 2)

I think he did them not long before or after leaving GH for the first time, where he'd been a staff writer in the early '80s.

He wasn't the first or last soap scribe to do horror. Victor Miller from AMC created and wrote the original Friday the 13th, and is still locked in a dispute over the rights today (hence no new movies).

I suspect that Jacob's brother will be put into their orbit. Now who he'll end up with remains to be seen. Online chatter wants him for Kat

Prom Night from 1980 that starred Jamie Lee Curtis and Leslie Nielson (it's actually kind of sad, though the 3 minute disco dance number really highlighted Jamie Lee Curtis' dance abilities) that has a I know what you did last summer where kids responsible for an accident are picked up one by one right around the senior prom.

Curtains from 1983 that starred Samantha Eggar, Linda Thorson (Julia Medina OLTL), John Vernon.. about a group of women auditioning for a movie role in a remote location and killed off one by one by a serial killer (troubled production, though the killer's mask is quite effective).

OMG Prom Night was Guza. I love love love it and I was watching In Search Of Darkness,  a documentary on 80s slashers and they mentioned Curtains.  It looks absolutely bonkers so Ill definitely be watching it.

Awesome 

I prefer Curtains to Prom Night (it's a miracle the first film works at all given the production) but PN is definitely dark and creepy. Starting with the gruesome child death in the first 10 mins.
