I'm putting this here because I was thinking back to the live shows and the ABC edict that there be a killing and a wedding for the episodes.  You know what's interesting to me?  That the killing -- Anna's shooting of Carlos -- fit right in to the fabric of the show.  But the wedding?  I seriously doubt that's what ABC had in mind. A WTF? wedding played for laughs with just three characters.  As unromantic as it could be.  It just reminds me that this show has absolutely no romance and no great love stories anymore. I miss that about daytime.

Heck, I'm worried with the shenanigans that Nik and Liz are in, after all is said and done, Laura may wind up with all three of her grandsons.  Just a speculation.

 

Nancy Kerrigan will skate and I believe Nik is clever enough and has enough money to avoid facing any criminal charges. It also helps that the mayor and Sloan are corrupt and if he actually got arrested for something his grandmother would step in.

get rid of Nina and Franco already, show

I guess no one cared who was knocking on Nina's door.  See, the wedding that ABC demanded was a huge bust.  That's in part because all the weddings on a Ron Carlivati show are either played for jokes or used a forum for public shaming. God forbid there's any actual romance on this show.

 

I agree with Ulkis, it's time to call it a day on the failure that is Nina and Franco. And by that I mean Nina, by herself, and Franco, by himself as well. They both need to ride off into the sunset. And I don't give a damn as to whether they're alone or together. Just go away!

I read this thread every few days in the hopes that Ron and Frank have been fired and replaced, and am disappointed every time. The ratings aren't at all surprising. Most days I can't even stand to have this show on in the background. Everything about is joyless and stupid.

THIS. So much this. I can also see these asshats doubling down. Giving us more crap plotpoints, camp and even less character development. We will probably end up with a larger cast and end up with the gray backdrop we've joked about.

Once people realized the live episodes were nothing special aside from being aired live, there wasn't a particular reason to tune in on Monday. I don't know why they didn't do something to set those episodes apart.

What, various characters saying or yelling (I'm eyeballing you, Stafford) the word live wasn't enough of a reason for people to tune in?  And Michelle Stafford pounding her foot on a coffee table already rigged to break and then looking around like she's looking at crew didn't grab you?

 

WeNeverCared! never earned her nickname more than in the fall off of viewers who (didn't) want to see whom she was marrying.

I have a feeling whichever ABC exec mandated a wedding and a shooting was thinking of having a big wedding between two important characters with most of the cast gathering on the church set so at least in theory it'd be easier to shoot. And they probably ended for the Friday cliffhanger to be someone getting shot at the wedding. Definitely not the fuckery Ron & Uncle Frank gave us instead.

Ha, that would be exactly like Dynasty's Moldavian wedding season-ending cliffhanger. UCG galore:

Which turned out to be a big letdown, because they made it seem as though everyone had been shot, but nobody important died.

 

Trivia note:  Finola Hughes's boyfriend at the time played the bride groom/Moldavian prince at that wedding. 

Tony Geary's latest interview.  It's truly is a kinder and gentler Anthony Geary.

This is the first time I've truly enjoyed Tony in an interview in quite a few years. I'm glad I saw it. I don't want him to leave with me thinking, "Don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out." I want to remember how long I enjoyed his character.

I only made it to five minutes, because my eyes couldn't stop rolling over Paolo's gushing, and him telling Tony he deserved an "OSCAR" for the portrayal of Luke/FakLuke. And how he's never heard of split screen before. Really? "How did you do it?" "I've NEVER seen this before on tv!"

 

Maybe I'll try to watch it again later.
