I appreciate them having Hayley and Randy call each other cuz at least once per scene. This way, they don’t have to explain it on Twitter. #BeyondTheGatez

😂 I might be giving her too much credit in retrospect. If Hayley was supposed to be a dumbass trophy wife as her so-called character, she certainly played it! She is weak though, I get it

As sick as I am of RC discourse (lol) I couldn’t help but roll back and look at the writer credits for this episode and his name is in there, and I went mmm, yeah. Like a reflex

Well sure. She’s a solid B- for me, an A would be better but hey

“I’ll be DAMNED if I’m not finna get paid” I know that’s right miss con artist. I like this character, where’s she been? #BeyondTheGates

I mean I wish they hadn’t written this story towards this big info-dump, is the only thing. That’s the one big problem with a gotcha reveal like this.

Hayley’s like damn, these other annoying soap opera characters made my scam so much harder

Mrs Shamilton! And Dani’s right too, been right all along. #BeyondTheGates

God, the pacing in this Hayley storyline! But now I’m just glad things are moving along. #BeyondTheGates

Also both first names, V with 4 syllables; both nicknames, 2 syllables and ending in a long e sound. They did it up with this name

Tina: Don’t people in Texas ever wait to be invited in?

Cord, shit-eating grin: Well if we did, this would still be Mexico, wouldn’t it?

Meanwhile, Young Cordero is killing me. I can’t explain it, something about his look is so cute and twinky and skinny, and his cowboy costumes are so tight. And then his energy whilst courting Tina is very, well, what the kids today might call zesty. #OLTL 1986

Topher 🏘️🏠🏡 @tallytofu.bsky.social · 12h

Back to 1986, for a day. Not enough time for this lately, 😢
Anyway, Tina & Cord’s early days in El Paso, much more charming than I expected. I get it now.
Also, the way Texans of the 80s are portrayed here is hilarious. Boy did they love to fight. #OLTL

Weird, I can get my own profile page and @s and everything else except the main feed (test!)

No idea why Jan wasn’t the prototype for this girl. I mean don’t just do Jan 2, but there’s no reason we shouldn’t have gotten that same vibes from this story

Topher 🏘️🏠🏡 @tallytofu.bsky.social · 18h

This is a solid theory! You’re right, they can skate by on “everyone knows Marlena” or whoever like that, and just go right for the plot.

The Sophia stuff could maybe work a little if, acting aside, they did more character work about how Sophia’s insanely strict & controlled upbringing led to this out of control behavior. But Days isn’t like that, so we just get the plotty nonsense, and she just seems like a teenage jerk.

lol, it’s the thought that counts! I’m sure she’s a lovely girl. Maybe one day she’ll sharpen up her skills

Topher 🏘️🏠🏡 @tallytofu.bsky.social · 19h

To me it’s actress and writing. The material is garbage, but this young lady can’t pull off any of this

Topher 🏘️🏠🏡 @tallytofu.bsky.social · 19h

Tina Huang honestly looks annoyed as fuck to be playing these scenes and working opposite this unfortunate girl

This Sophia character was such a bad idea, and the casting only made it worse. Watching her do her thing makes me so uncomfortable.
