Yesterday’s episode had me laughing out loud. The scenes between Gabi and Jake and between Gwen, Jennifer and Jack were hilarious. Jennifer’s facial reactions to all of the things Gwen was saying were great. I also loved Gwen wiping off the bottle of wine and offering it back to Jennifer and Jack after she’d been drinking from it. The Abe and Kate…[Read more]

Yeah, totally agree. I get that Eric can’t just agree while Sami trashing his wife, but when he said to Sami not to ever insult his wife again, she should have told him that he should have thought twice about that before marrying a woman who had stolen her child. I can’t believe that Allie truly wouldn’t know this history, and that no one around…[Read more]

I found this shocking when you said it the other day, Sean Phillips, but after watching Thursday’s and Friday’s episodes, I can kind of see it. They seem comfortable getting a good number of actors on screen together (either by actually have them there or through use of special effects), and while they’re not standing right next to each other,…[Read more]

Oh yes, I’m sure there’s a mixture of material that’s airing right now. But any scene with Sam, for example, was definitely filmed after the shutdown, and based on how actors look visibly different than they did at the start of the week in some cases, you can tell other scenes were filmed later as well. But I guess you’re right, we’ll really see…[Read more]

I know we’ve heard much about the measures B&B has taken to film during the pandemic, but has there been information released about what GH is doing? I’m very curious, because it looks like they’re doing most of the things we’d assumed they wouldn’t be able to do, and it doesn’t seem like editing or special effects.

Also, I’m digging Chad Duell’s…[Read more]

Agreed that Allie’s behavior toward Sami, and in general, has become obnoxious. I think it kind of works in that she’s essentially doing so much of the same stuff Sami is doing — like she’s working harder to browbeat Rafe into adopting the baby than Sami was to keep him from doing it — but it’s annoying that no one is calling her out for being…[Read more]

Hahaha, that comparison makes Cyrus feel so ridiculous. I’m still annoyed that Cyrus is just walking around in town threatening, blackmailing, intimidating, etc. I can understand if the show wanted to do more with him I guess, but at least make it seem plausible why Sonny and Jason aren’t taking him out like they said they would when they…[Read more]

I think Eve feels like Ciara is an acceptable sacrifice because Ciara is the one who prevented Ben from being executed for Jordan’s murder. Not that she deserves it per se, but she doesn’t not deserve it. And it probably helps even more that Hope, as Gina, was responsible for her spending a year in prison for a crime she didn’t commit, and a…[Read more]

Haha, I’m pretty sympathetic to Olivia’s whining, probably in no small part because Lulu is the target of a lot of it.

Nicole is killing me! Is no one other than Sami going to say anything? Her and Eric saying Allie got upset because “she found out” (as if by magic) about Sami going to talk to Rafe, and then saying that Sami didn’t want them to call Will/Sonny because she was hoping Allie would bond with the baby. You know Nicole doesn’t care what Sami wants –…[Read more]

That would be great!

I enjoyed the first episode back, and was glad they focused on the characters/stories that are more enjoyable. I didn’t even mind seeing Carly, since all she was doing was gloating about Nelle. It’s cool that they got Dante back on right away.

It’s astounding. Courtney Hope is consistently great, and the show can’t make up its mind to keep her around. I thought the revival of Spectra a few years ago was a great story, but I guess the show didn’t really want to sustain another company besides Forrester and Spencer, which don’t have a natural element of competition to them. It also seems…[Read more]

I’m not sure what The View’s primary value to ABC’s lineup is anymore. I don’t say that to imply it has no value, just that they get more traction from debates that get overly heated and the fact that a large sector of the audience hates Megan and sinks their teeth in like it’s a juicy steak whenever she shown up by someone else or says something…[Read more]

GH is back today with new episodes, and if the promos are any indication, the actors aren’t keeping all the much distance from one another. I know the show had some stuff filmed prior to the hiatus, but I’m very eager to see what their newly filmed material looks like. Watching B&B has been slightly jarring, but B&B is fairly different visually…[Read more]

Days of our Lives
Outstanding Guest Performer
Kassie DePaiva – Eve Donovan

Eve is revealed as Ben’s kidnapper and the person who bombed the wedding. She taunts Ben and rails against him for murdering, among other people, her daughter Paige. Slowly she reveals her plan to brainwash Ben into having him…[Read more]

I was thoroughly dazzled by Courtney’s performance in this episode. Going into it, I wondered what Sally could possibly say to justify her deception, but actually I was thoroughly on her side by the end of that speech. (The writing for it was good as well.)

Yes, the DAYS exits continue to pile up! It’s interesting that they decided to recast her character. Maybe this was always the intention, though? To have Olivia Rose Keegan bring Claire back from Bayview and usher her in before having a new actress take the role? I didn’t realize the exit would be this soon, but I suppose we’re in August now and…[Read more]

Yeah, from the rumors I saw, in addition to Greg, Kristian, Victoria, Chandler, Freddie, Galen, Olivia Rose Keegan and Camila Banus, two other cast members will be out. Someone who apparently knows who it is has said that it’s not Drake Hogestyn and Deidre Hall, and also that it’s not Robert Scott Wilson. I was wondering who even counts for this,…[Read more]

I just watched those scenes with the Wyatt/Flo reunion yesterday, and it was interesting to see how they were done. More than anything I think I was surprised how long that reunion scene was. It felt like a hundred different shots with hands, facial close-ups, torsos, etc. all assembled. It seems like a lot of work! It was slightly jarring to me,…[Read more]

Ha! He does have a similar look.

I loved Nicole joking about the elephant statue yesterday when Eric said he’d gotten her a souvenir from their African honeymoon. I’m less thrilled about the way this whole thing with Sami telling Rafe not to adopt Allie’s baby is playing out. For one thing, why would anyone be surprised that Sami went to Rafe and…[Read more]
