I Am A Swede

That's sad. I really liked his talkshow. With William Friedkin just recently, now Michael Parkinson, and also this that's three celebrities born 1935 who have died in less than 10 days.

This video (by one of my favourite Youtube channels) also talks about this movie and I can't say it made me interested in watching it back then.

You can't help but wonder how Liam would have reacted to all this Finn/Sheila business if his marriage to Hope had been solid.... It would actually have made for a better story if Liam and Hope were still together when all this happened. Liam could still be fearful for his daughter's (and Steffy's) safety and his saviour complex kick in. That would give more credibility to Hope's turn towards Thomas.

It's different because both Krista and Thorsten are so different from Hunter and Ronn in the way they play their characters. I know Thorsten has played Ridge for a long time now, but I'm still not won over by his portrayal of Ridge. In comparison I adjusted very easily to Winsor Harmon's Thorne when he took over from Jeff Trachta.

Why anyone would want either Tridge or Bridge now is beyond me. And why either of these two women still want Ridge is one of the great mysteries of life. He has treated them both appallingly over the years, but they still come back for more.

Wow, Y&R gained two whole ratings points from one week to the next!

It's not necessarily that she would have something valuable to say, but she is Steffy's mother, and she has a history with Sheila, so her absence is a little glaring. Not that it's unusual for Taylor to be absent when her children are in any kind of crisis. That has been the case for the last 10 years or so.

People usually just blame the character they don't like.

Now let me see if I can get this straight.... 😵‍💫 Brooke Logan Forrester Forrester Chambers Forrester Forrester Jones Forrester Forrester Forrester Marone Forrester Forrester Forrester Spencer Forrester (B&B) Granted, a lot of these were annulled or declared invalid, but still....

Maybe it's petty of me, but putting Robert Scott Wilson in this promo really annoys me. I know he's playing a Kiriakis now, but....

He probably feels a kinship with Liam. Jumping between two women like Liam is doing is something Ridge has done for decades.

I just wonder if Brad Bell really thinks that this writing is making Liam look good? Can he really be that clueless? I know that subtlety has never been his forte, but Liam is really being written quite insufferable right now.

Fixed! The elephant in the room, which many have already pointed out, is the absence of Taylor. She would bring so much to this story, being both a victim of Sheila, and someone who tried to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense. And the comparison I made with B&B is of course not really fair. Brad Bell can't compare with Doug Marland as a writer, and B&B is a very different show than ATWT. But it's the show I'm most familiar with.
