Another episode with the "Scooby Kids" trying to get the evidence needed to put away the boyz.
I am completely convinced that TSJ should turn out to be Milton Bittlecomb grown up. Anyone?
Marty was getting to be really good friends with Rachel. In recent times, when Rachel returned, did TPTB remember it and make them friends? I think that sometimes friendships between female characters on soaps are few and far between because there is usually a man between them for some reason. These scenes between Marty and Rachel, Marty and Luna, etc, are really good and bring realism to the show. This conversation just reveals how alone she has been and how hard it has been without real friends. And - I just LOVE this Rachel....she's great! Hard to believe this is the same character who participated in the Georgie's murder story years later. A recast can have a terrible effect on a character, and don't we know that????
"Who moved it and where it is . . ." and they show the homeless guy. LOL. Well, he did have it, didn't he? I even forgot his name....was it Lenny? LOL. I guess I'll find out sometime in this clip. A slight bit contrived of a story twist. Luna brings fudge to Nora. Please. I guess that friendship kind of got patched up too. But all of the characters, like them or not, were just natural...they just acted so well they were not acting!
Todd at the door, with his music....dun nuh! This is going to be one terrible interaction. I love how Kevin and Rachel related also. More natural acting, things seemed real even if they were dramatic, sometimes far-reaching soap stories. This ALSO is what is missing today. First, the acting is wooden in so many cases. There's little that's based on an actor or character, and moreso on convoluted plots. If TPTB are having trouble figuring out why shows are getting cancelled one by one, they just need to look back in the history of the most successful times on soaps and see. It is right before their eyes if they choose to look. The quality of acting; real, deep stories that focus on detail and keep history accurate; good treatment of excellent actors and actresses; refusal to recast characters that developing big followings; character-driven stories. If soaps do disappear in the next ten years, as folks are guessing, it will be because of the lack of these important factors. What made us watch soaps is THE CHARACTERS that we came to know and could follow, day to day, not who looked best without a shirt.
FAIL: Luna's clothing, again. I was there during the 90s. This wasn't necessarily the way people dressed, or is it just that her character is not one of my faves?
