I Am A Swede

Anyone who has died on-screen in front of the audience. The perfect example is Taylor on B&B after her second "death".  Not because I have anything against Taylor as a character, but because of how she died and the ridiculous jumping through hoops the show had to do to explain her return. We saw her flatline and die in Ridge's arms right in front of our eyes. For a show that, up till then, had remained fairly realistic the re-writing mess that was needed to make it possible for her to return was a jump-the-shark moment.

I'm all for a Zende/R.J. rivalry (although not too happy with the story right now) but there is one ingredient missing: Kristen. The story would be so much better if she was around to support Zende and ignite a sibling rivalry with Ridge.

That was exactly my thought.   Brad wants to justify nonconsensual sex due to drugs ..  by writing it again?

I think this is the 5th time B&B has used this story. First Caroline and Ridge, then Brooke and Eric, then Brooke and Ridge, then Caroline Jr and Thomas, and now Luna and Zende.

The won't leave this girl alone. Now so much hate about the Celine Dion thing. Am I the psychopath that I don't see that Taylor NEEDS to bow down and kiss Celine Dion's feet. She won a GRAMMY. It's her moment. 

And I am sure she has given plenty of love and respect to Celine backstage.

People are acting like they expected Taylor to give the Grammy to Celine.

Absurd.

 

Sometimes it really is ridiculous how people seem to actively look for stuff to be upset about.

The show is just stale period. 

Eric marrying another Logan? Jesus he went through all the Logan sisters. What a dirty scumbag sugar daddy Eric is. They should've killed him off.

I don't think he's been involved with Katie.

"Fall up the stairs" comes from ATWT, where character Liz Talbot (Betsy's mother) died from a ruptured spleen after "falling up the stairs." It's always been my understanding that she fell while running up the stairs, but describing it as "falling up the stairs" is more quirky/interesting, so that's what the anecdotes stuck with. Another part of the story claims that Irna killed Liz off because she objected to actress Jane House appearing nude onstage in a play, but Liz was already recast to Judith McGilligan by the time she died.

I read somewhere (I think it was in The Soap Opera Encyclopedia by Gerard J. Waggett) that Irna tried to kill off Liz earlier, for the reason you mentioned, but public outcry made P&G stop her. When Jane House had left the role Irna finished the job.

A "who's the daddy"-story maybe?   

But true, that expression makes Hope more likely. Mother and daughter making the same "mistake"....

I doubt that spoiler involves Brooke. With Taylor gone there's no story in her messing up again. Luna or Hope seem to be more likelier candidates.

I really dislike when people think of their opinions as the absolute truth, and treat other people's opinions accordingly.

The thing is, Alyssa Milano did Shannen Doherty a favor by getting her fired, because "Charmed" was such a wretched show.

That might be, but it was still a job, and a paycheck.....
