THIS! Other than the strange accent, I see no difference between FrankenDrew and any other character that RoHo has played on this show. The voice inflections haven't changed; the body movements are the same. (There was a great opportunity for him to suddenly start carrying himself like a career soldier once he was in uniform, but it was missed.) I know that Tatiana Maslany's characterizations of multiple characters in Orphan Black is setting a pretty high bar, but, dang, the dude coulda watched it and picked up an idea or two. All he had to do was be different. I guess he didn't get much from his acting lessons. 8 Link to comment

Baxter October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 (edited) I hate this version of Nina. Ever times she speaks it's like nails on a chalkboard. I'll be glad when she finally finds out about Valentin - she deserves it. And I pray that Jax isn't her consolation prize. Edited November 1, 2019 by Baxter edit 8 Link to comment
ouinason October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 I think it would be best if Nina decided to leave. I just can't deal with the new actress, which upsets me since I've always been a fan, and the character has more than run her course. 5 Link to comment
ffwbe October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 I find it strange when people tell their kids that they need to date other people before settling down. TJ and Molly have been together for at least 6 years since their last breakup, which is probably the longest of all of the show’s current pairings. They’re young but at least they’ve both finished college already and have one of the healthiest relationships on the show. Not sure what Jordan’s issue is. 17 Link to comment
dubbel zout October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 The Halloween party came out of nowhere: no excited discussions about costumes or anything. Way to build some excitement, Show, especially for something that's "for a good cause." (What is that cause?) "No jury, so no Dawn of Day members can be selected." Watch the judge be a secret member, heh. How is Alexis "picking on" Jason re: Sam's case? We saw one scene, and Jason came to Alexis. Ugh. Oh, nos! Joss didn't know she lost Oscar's watch for three days! She's a terrible person! I am so tired of having to see every crisis Joss goes through regarding something connected to Oscar. Cam, you don't owe Jason squat. LOL at Jason, of all people, talking to Cam about walking around angry all the time or helping the people he loves pick up the pieces. You'd think he'd have added that the first option isn't of much help, having been Anger Boy for so many years. Pro tip, TJ: Talk to Molly about marriage before you pop the question, huh? Make sure you're both on the same page not only about that but the stuff that goes with it: kids, careers, money, etc. 1 8 Link to comment
Linny October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 GH costume award winners: 1st place, Molly as Ruth Bader Ginsburg (so in character for her, and she looked adorable); 2nd place, Jax as Mr. Incredible (hell yeah, he is, and now give me Liesl as Edna Mode); 3rd place, Ava as Cruella de Vil (since half the town already acts like Ava personally kicked their puppies, she may as well embrace that rep). The Metro Court bash seemed like a snooze; neither Nina hissing at Sasha or Valentin and Laura ruminating over art was particularly interesting. I did approve of Ava calling out Michael's scandalous reaction to her gun, though, because REALLY. And I am so not here for Jordan taking a page out of Stella's old handbook and forcing upon TJ her own expectations for his relationship. Being young and committed to one person doesn't have to mean missing out on opportunities, especially since those opportunities aren't desired by everyone to begin with. Oh, shit, Cam. I don't think underage drinking is as shocking as the show probably wants me to think, but Cam is definitely hitting the booze to escape his problems, and that's definitely bad. He's still on probation, too, which could be jeopardized if he gets caught. Dammit, Liz, get your son a therapist (Neil, not Kevin, please). 6 Link to comment

ETA: I just realized that Cam is the product of divorce, in the messiest way possible. He is the result of the drunken choices you make when you either find your wife fucking a prince or you find out your husband is a psycho, but still have all the feelings. And, I'm fairly certain that he was conceived in the same bed as Michael was... so eww. Edited October 30, 2019 by ouinason 1 Link to comment

ouinason October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 no, that was earlier, and I believe it was only making out. They got rescued by Jason. They did get down on the couch in Liz's studio and Jason saw that. This was years before that Halloween where Cam was conceived though. 1 Link to comment

Tenshinhan October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 I'm glad Jordan spoke out against the notion of TJ and Molly getting married. I think it would have been deeply irresponsible for the show not to include that. Jordan was right to bring up the fact that they started dating when they were kids, and haven't been in any other relationships since. Not to mention that neither one of them have really started any kind of career, and Molly's still trying to figure hers out. The list goes on and on, so at least these writers were willing to acknowledge it. It will be interesting to see how Molly responds to this, since she's apparently the last to know. Will she be on TJ's side, or Jordan's? (Or maybe even somehow have a perspective that differs from both??) 1 Link to comment
ouinason October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 I can't imagine that marriage hasn't come up in conversation in the last 6 years. The last couple years certainly, even in just the abstract. That boggles my mind. And I don't see the problem with Molly and TJ getting married. They have been together for eons, living together for years. It's not like they are fresh out of high school and just getting out on their own. 9 Link to comment

It looks like the Show has decided Jason should have Drew's place as male role model to Cam now, in addition to being Scout's replacement father. Nice of you to speak of Jason parenting Danny and Scout in the future while forgetting that Jake, not Scout, is Jason's child, Carly! Also, Jason had just been at Elizabeth's house to check in about the FrancoDrew situation, and Elizabeth and Cam made it very clear to him that Jake's going to be heartbroken due to his closeness with Franco. Yet when Carly asked how he's doing it appeared he's already totally forgotten about his elder son's suffering because he was summarizing Sam's latest mess and that Alexis is upset. The only parts of today's show I liked was Finn's attitude/questioning making Hayden squirmy, Ava calling Michael out on his hypocrisy about her gun versus Sonny or Jason carrying, and Laura and Molly's costumes. I thought Elizabeth would have an incredulous "how could you not tell me when I just asked you about having a child?!" reaction to the Violet news, but I'll assume she's emotionally exhausted by her own family mess. Hayden's one honest moment about herself is that she's just so used to lying. 4 Link to comment
sunnyface October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 Why did the show waste time on Jason and Carly today? These are two horrible characters and not the two actors that I want to see when I tune in. Wow - a halloween party and it seems like Jason and Carly had more dialogue than the actors who are actually directly involved in active plots. Violet is not only cute but seems to have a real pleasant personality. Props to her parent(s). 9 Link to comment
pinkandsparkly13 October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 It's nice that Jason has enough time to sit around and talk to Carly instead of taking care of his son/s. Like oh no Danny, your mom is in prison so I have to focus on that, and can't take care of you by myself. You'll have to keep staying at your real parents house. (Monica, Ned, Olivia). I mean really couldn't he do his detective work during the day while Danny is at school and then actually be a dad to him after? Geez 13 Link to comment

A similar conversation came up with Julian earlier this year. It makes him come off like a complete idiot with zero self-awareness.

tvgoddess October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 Molly's the kind of daughter that I'm sure my mother would rather have. Instead, I'm a rabid disappointment. Although I did make sure to get her to the hospital once when she really needed to go. I couldn't drive her as I had recently had surgery, but I called 911 and got the ambulance there. I applaud her stepping in and taking care of things so efficiently. I doubt the show will go any further with the marriage discussion on screen. TJ and Molly are rarely seen, so of course Alexis might mention it to Sam when she visits her in Pentonville. But I wouldn't expect much else. People I have no use for: Carly, Jason, Nina, Valentin, Michael, Sasha. And yeah, Finn. Take your reptile and your shiny vests and go away. Please note the above list is just for today's characters. I'd add Sonny of course, Peter, Kim and Franco/Drew. Really, the people I'd keep is kind of short. Dev can hit the road too. And Sam's on my last nerve. Loved the Hayden/Liz scenes. These two really sell their sister relationship extremely well. 4 Link to comment
NutmegsDad October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 Trina needed Lucy's book as a reference to understand Helena. FrancoDrew thought Sonny just was a gym owner. I'm cautiously optimistic we're getting to the part where Carly will interject herself into a conversation with Ava and a newbie and yell, "SHE KILLED CONNIE FALCONERI!!" and the newbie will reply: 3 1 Link to comment

Captanne October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 It looked to me like Michael was something out of Game of Thrones (which I never watched). I wondered, with Sasha as Captain Marvel -- are they implying the character is going to be around forever like Carly ended up being? In other words, she's going to be the next legacy "heroine"*? I thought that because she is obviously linked to Michael who will be a legacy male character (so many ties to the canvas). Just noodling. *Whether or not we think of Carly as a heroine, an anti-heroine, or something in between, she started as a fairly small role and has turned into the legacy female along with Laura. (Monica isn't on enough and doesn't move plots like they do.) And Laura, since the 80s, is clearly a heroine. 1 Link to comment

I did like Valentin as Marc Antony, it's the first time I've ever thought he actually looked attractive. I wish the show would stop trying to push Michael as this tough, scary guy. CD is even less scary than JPS. Monday someone asked Elizabeth where Jake and Aiden are and she replied that they with grandma.

I will always think of Tyler Christopher as the true Nikolas though. Sam, you really are an idiot. I love how Lulu goes from making out with Josslyn's teacher where Joss and other kids can clearly see them, to being shocked/scandalized that Joss was getting drunk while she was keeping Dustin from monitoring the kids. Here's a thought, Nina. If the sight of Sasha is soooo upsetting, don't go to a Halloween party at the hotel Sasha's boyfriend's mother owns! So is Kendra the trainer going to turn out to be a psycho like Nelle? I don't understand why she would be trying to taunt/scare Molly since Molly was just a child when Kiefer died and had nothing to do with his death. 4 Link to comment
