Poor B&B is bad enough without having to sit through Rachel. I gave up Big Brother a few years back after being diehard in the beginning. She was by far one of the most annoying players ever in my opinion. Can't stand her. In general I've never understood the idea of "stunt" casting. It does absolutely nothing for the ratings no matter how much (or little) press it gets.

The show could have Pamela "call in" like Y&R does with Jill a lot of times. Dani could have taken a phone call from Pamela checking in on her (without Cady having to be in Atlanta). Is there going to be a bday party for Bill? I thought it was just fake as an excuse for Hayley to be talking to Tomas (without dumb Tomas realizing there isn't even a party). If (when) they kill Doug, I hope it doesn't lead into a clear path for Vanessa and Joey. I prefer them as antagonistic. I don't want them to be a couple.

I like the idea of a crossover if done correctly, but Devon and Ridge for like one day scenes? Who cares? I'd rather see Nikki come to town for a charity event with Anita. The two of them together would be worth watching. Or Lauren having a meeting with ChelseaKat. Maybe Michael represent Ted against the Duprees? Something that makes sense. Not random meet and greets. The way shows tape now sucks because you can't do a true crossover with both shows at the same time. The days of the AMC/OLTL baby switch are long gone.

Derrick better not go down the trope of pretending he can't walk just to keep Ashley at his side. Done too many times and will tarnish Derrick as "the good guy".

The dialogue again today has been fire. Every word has been pretty much what one would expect the characters to say. So good!

Too Little Too Late Lane. haha. The writers didn't do Ted any favors showing up at the Duprees to try and get credit for his stunt with Leslie. Betting on Nicole is hysterical! Nice Smitty/Martin scenes. Great start to this episode!

Although I'm not watching GH (it's opposite BTG here in Maine), I hope this helps the show gain more viewership. Any growth for soaps is a plus.

I swear these people are going to become huffing addicts...but that probably wouldn't be great brand promotion. lol

Vanessa talking about the trees kills me. This Vanessa I love. Her with Joey, not so much. I kinda hope Eva leans into the bad girl vibe. The Duprees are all too goody two shoes (except maybe Dani).

Why don't they just bring back Zach Tinker as Fen? Already established and would give Lauren and Michael something to do other than be involved with Victor and Nikki. He can work at Crimson Lights and talk incessantly about taking over Society.

I'd say Cecile's return to AW when she was trying to pass Maggie off as Cass's. Never made sense. Cecile had been such a force of a character and they had dwindled her down to a caricature.

B&B is on such a rinse and repeat every day that no one cares. People are sick of Luna. Sick of Taylor/Ridge/Brooke. Sick of Liam/Hope. Nothing new ever happens. The show is hurting BTG because people can't sit through such drivel.

Another Joey connection. I do love how this show seems to put a lot of thought into stories so far (liked or not) and not going on the fly where things don't make sense later. Great use of the entire canvas.

I was thinking Eva (hearing it from Ted). Maybe she was following the socials for the event because of Kat, saw Chelsea was missing, and decided to help. I picture Leslie too self-absorbed with her new money to have any idea what is going on with Chelsea.

She's a great addition for Y&R, but I hope it isn't just for her to talk business in every damn scene. She needs to be a homewrecker. lol Jack and Diane? Michael and Lauren?

Loved that scene! Showing Hayley in a different light is a great idea. Just how was she besties with Naomi and Jen? This helps show that. Andre gonna be jealouuuuuus.

I don't disagree. I do think this episode has been pulled together well with all the family connections even if the speed is skipping through. Who would have thought I'd be interested in someone kidnapping Chelsea? Not one of my faves.

Darn! Another case Jacob can't solve? lol I hope this brings Dani and Bill together.

I hope the kidnapper isn't Alison. Seems too obvious. One thing this show has done well is good twists. Please don't fail me now. lol. Liking Martin/Samantha scenes but they seem like older brother/younger sister.

Brad is obsessed with characters being tricked/drugged into sex. Why? It's disgusting. It's essentially raping characters nonstop. Brooke/Oliver, Thomas/Caroline, Zende/Luna He's also obsessed with characters not dying and "hiding out". Can we get some originality please? ** The 100th time of Brooke/Ridge/Taylor isn't drama. Does anyone give a crap about Ridge and which woman he ends up with? Next month he'll be on to someone else anyway. Finn/Steffy/Liam/Hope is just as bad. *yawn*

Jan and Mona can lead a boycott and now hangout at Uptown with Kat.

They just aired a Febreze commercial which makes me think: were the can of Febreze and bottle of Tide taken off-contract? Did Nicole dump it like her husband?

"Auntie 'Nita". lol. Damn this is good. So Leslie will blame Anita for the death of her mother as Viki blamed Dorian for the death of her father. Nice. Kat going to Jacob about her sex issues with Tomas? Really? Does she or Chelsea have any filter whatsoever? Cringey.

I'm assuming Anita can't cancel the trust. Only stop adding to it. I want to see her try though. Won't it just suck if she has to go to Bill to try and revoke it. lol Yup. Ashley is still yawn. It's weird to me how this show can be so fire one minute and so boring the next. Ashley, Derrick, Kat/Tomas, Chelsea/stalker.

Leslie vs Anita needs to be a regular thing. Anita is best when sparring with someone and Leslie is more than capable. Make them the Viki/Dorian of BTG. I'm here for it. I'm over the whole June story though. I have no sympathy for her and she is not entitled to see her kids that she gave up. The actress is great, but I don't think the writing made her sympathetic at all. I enjoy the Smitty/Martin truce though. Martin has improved so, so much since the beginning.
