Cirie appeared on Guiding Light way back in 2005.

Hmm ... I'm intrigued.

Is there a story behind the actor playing Finn being written off the show? I've seen a couple posts that seem to hint at that.

Why isn't Steffy freaking out when she sees Sheila hovering in the hospital room? She's only forgotten the past year or so. Not the years of terror Sheila's brought on her family. And why wouldn't Sheila just leave town before the truth comes out. This ish makes no sense whatsoever.

Watching these Sheila/Taylor scenes and realizing their whole arc within the current story probably wouldn't have happened if Hunter Tylo had returned as Taylor. Which probably would have meant we'd be watching a completely different story altogether.

Looks like the anniversary episode is available on Paramount+. I'm just starting to watch it.

Oh, I didn't know that. Since I usually DVR the show, I normally just stop and delete it after the last scene. I was able to watch the show as it aired today.

Aha! Makes sense about CBS trying to get B&B viewers to sample The Talk, especially with today's guests.

I noticed that the show or CBS may have changed their commercial breaks during the show or how the show airs somehow. B&B for as long as I can remember always ended at 1:55 with a long commercial break before closing credits, but today it ended at 1:57. Anyone else notice this?

Yeah she's still around I suppose, which is why it's so odd to take her out of the opening. It's not like they added anyone that I noticed. There might have been an extra shot of Paris. Ha! That's a good take on this story and so true.

Speaking of fast, B&B sure didn't waste any time in removing Zoe from the opening credits. Kind of peculiar considering they usually take their sweet time updating the show's opening.

Yep.

So Vinny intentionally jumped in front of Bill's car to set up Liam. BUT how would he know that Liam would be driving? I'm also mad that Vinny only got to declare his love of Thomas in death. LOL!

LMAO! I thought he was wearing a prison jumpsuit, especially during the close-ups. The costuming has been very distracting on this show. Doesn't help with the repetitive dialogue not taking my attention away from the atrocious clothes.

LOL! That Vinny! Maybe this will be the vat of acid again. A body is found and believed to be Thomas but is actually Vinny wearing his favorite Thomas speedo. Hope recognizes the acid-defying speedo and ID him as Thomas.

Thomas!?! I can see Bill covering up for Liam or Brooke if he suspects that one of them killed him. Then in the end it'll turn out that Vinny actually did it.

Regarding BB, TV Guide Magazine mentions that the person getting killed off will happen at the end of the Monday, April 5th episode. Seeing that Bill will be connected somehow, my first instinct was to think it would be Katie. But she's survived so many brushes with death and unless Heather Tom has decided she had enough of the one or two appearances a month, albeit with Emmy bait scenes, I doubt Brad Bell will kill her off. So, my next guess was either Flo, Shauna, or Wyatt. They've set up Flo to be too happy right now: officially becoming a Logan, getting a job at Forrester Creations, everyone forgiving her for her part in the baby swap, and Wyatt proposing, all in a short period of time after not getting much screen time since Sally left town. So it would be classic Brad Bell to kill her off or someone close to her. Then again, it could be someone off-screen, another Brad Bell go-to plot device.

Thank you FrenchFan for taking the time to give such a thorough history of their story. I really appreciate it. I've only watched Y&R from the mid-90s to early 2007 and I don't recall Jack and Gina being close during that time. Maybe Gina and John. Of course Gina was just that lady that owned the restaurant everyone went to and anybody's talk-to at this point. Oh, and Jack was such a horn-dog back in the day. HA! That's a lot of women he was linked to in such a short period of time. The Dru/Jack scenes were dripping with BTS tension. Especially when it came to their dialogue. Just saying. Damn, I missy Victoria Rowell. I stopped watching when she left and won't watch again unless she miraculously returns.

So Jack and Gina were a thing once upon a time? Or did I misread their situation? How the heck the snooty church lady find out about Paul's centerfold? Was she doing "research" for the Anti-Pornography Commission? Bwahaha!!!

Yep. And I noticed Ryan's hair, too.

The hair department must have been feeling a little brash and sassy when they taped today's episode.

This part CANNOT be read without a roll of the neck with a finger snap. LMAO!

"Scratch Your Name" by The Noisettes They're my current obsession. If you guys aren't hip to them, check them out. THEY RAWK! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dALeLKEHDz4 They have a couple other videos out.. "Don't Give Up" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2CPGut16Gw "Sister Rosetta (Capture the Spirit)" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGLYNtqGuyQ and there are some other vids people have posted from their live performances on YouTube. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I also have a new obsession developing in Chrisette Michele "If I Have My Way" "> " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">

Okay... "Strawberry Letter 23" by The Brothers Johnson is the jam. While looking for videos on YouTube, I found this cool "music video" that some guys made. It really has that 70s vibe to it, special effects, everything! They got that coolness of the 70s soul/psychedelic vibe down pat. What a trip! LOL! ...and then here's an awesome animated video that uses rotoscoping, tracing over live action, to capture this song. This video uses the original version of "Strawberry Letter 23" by Shuggie Otis. It also does a excellent job of capturing the vibe of the song and times. I swear there's something really inspirational about this song. By the way, the title isn't a misnomer. Although the lyrics say "...a present from you, strawberry letter 22...," Shuggie Otis written this song in regards to his girlfriend who would write letters to him on strawberry scented paper. There's two theories for the title. A ) He's singing about letter 22 and the title is in hopes for her to send him letter 23, or B ) his song is in response to her letter 22, making his song letter 23. I love finding out cool info/backstories on songs.

This song has been in my head all day long at work. LOL! "Kissing You" by Total "> " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
