[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 302018, member: 27"] Another thing I noticed was that series of scenes at Curtis's nightclub had actual EXTRAS in the background. The show (like everyone else) has been pulling all the tricks to make public places seem pre-Covid normal, but of course there is only so much one can do. There was a running joke that Phyllis and Lenny's bar in Nixon Falls never had customers, and of course that nifty new pool set only had cast members around it. If the show can now have extras, it's another step back to normal. I get a kick out of how Yuri appears to have a thing for Monica---his attention to her well-being is more than just bodyguardish concern. I get the feeling he would gladly take a bullet for her if it came to that. If they could also get Alice back to the Quartermaine mansion, then that place would be more secure than Fort Knox. After viewing the scenes between Sonny ("Smike") and Nina on Thursday, I'm going to call it right now: when Nina's case goes to court, Sonny's going to make sure the case falls apart. Not only will he not cooperate, he will make it clear to the judge that he doesn't feel Nina "victimized" him and wants the case to go away. Oh, the joy of seeing Carly's head explode. Oh, the added bonus of seeing that spineless brat Michael see his plan go down in flames. It had been suggested in dialogue many years ago that Brad was part of the Wu family (from the Asian Quarter storyline many years ago), but now they're saying that Brad is Ms. Wu's nephew. Nice call-back, but now it makes no sense that this was never brought up before. Julian Jerome would have faced some retaliation from the Wu family for trying to kill Brad, and Sonny would have been more "nuanced" in his efforts to make Brad pay for keeping Wiley from Michael, for fear of rubbing Ms. Wu the wrong way.
