i'm still flabbergasted that they're having Carly keep the Nina/Willow secret, but have the cheek, the nerve, the gall to NOT paint it as a villainous action/arc. Like, wtf? So, because it's Carly this is kosher? How will this NOT drive a huge wedge between Michael/Carly in the aftermath? Unless he just won't care either? LOL This show is such a mess, right now. 

i'm guessing the "twist" is something like Hope/Steffy (?) is actually Sheila's kid, and Finn is Brooke/Taylor's? Something like Sheila switched them at birth so her kid could grow up with the "good life" while she was in prison? hmm.

Exasperated? 

expired? 

so, what? Bridget will be taking care of him and he's gonna have amnesia/fall in love with her?, and yet *another* of Brooke's daughters are gonna snatch Steffy's manses/family away? 

a MESS. 

that doesn't "change everything" if anything Finn being alive brings everything back to the way it was. This is so messy. Just mess for the sake of it. No stakes, as usual. Just boring and pointless.

ETA: Steffy should slap the crap out of is mom/dad for putting her through this. Why would you put his WIFE through this? Just a MESS. 

THANK YOU. PLEASE, Days of Our Lives: add Li Shin to the main cast. 4 year contract. He's one of the hottest guys that have ever been on this show and is a better actor than Ben and Johnny and Tripp by leagues. How is he not a main cast member making all the women fight over him, by now? 

and LOL @ EJ putting Belle into Sami's sights for literally no reason. We know he's gonna dump her as soon as Sami comes back. 

HILERUOUS day after the wedding episode cutting between ancient Jack and Phyllis getting it on, to Mariah and Tessa looking at pictures or opening presents or writing thank you notes or whatever tf they were doing (???) to Kyle and Summer getting it on, back to Mariah and Tessa looking like Golden Girls rejects and then away and back again to them being in the afterglow. An embarrassing MESS. 

another basic white dude, meanwhile they have the 2 female black leads passing the same black guy back and forth, and the only Asian guying in the cast is played for laughs/a gay celebrate. It's like these shows aren't even TRYING. Like why isn't Li Shin on DAYS on-contract already? Good lordt. 

i've always thought KA was one of the better younger actresses on soap, but we all know the reason why she wasn't cast is because she doesn't look like model. LOL 

ugh, I can see SB jumping over to the mother show and being Nicole's new flavor of the month once she's tired of boring ass Rafe. Or them scheduling it so they can do a Nicole/SB/Sami triangle when AS returns.

Will Esther actually  appear for this or they'll just talk about it?

 

they will probably do some dumb fantasy episode where Chole plays Esther and Ashland plays Phillip Chancellor II and either Victoria or Phyllis plays Katherine, and Esther will be having an affair with Phillip or something. LOL

From SoapDirt. First up is Y&R:

 

Griffith calls May “explosive, dynamic, sexy and romantic as hell.” It sounds promising… Kate Linder celebrates 40 years on Young and Restless and planned is a “big romantic wink” to Esther Valentine’s past.

yikes. more boring

I like that the cover just says 'the possession story ends, we promise!'

it's not over, I bet. The Devil will be "vanquished" and "gone" off our screen for a few months and then randomly one day we'll see Ciara/Ben's baby's eyes glow yellow... 

he has 10k followers on IG already, and is white and basic-looking, so expect GH to put a huge push behind his character... lmao

i'd bet $$ he's Morgan w/ a new face. He wants to prove himself to his father (that he's more than a bipolar jr. screw up), etc. so he came back incog, heard Jason was dead/missing and wants to protect his dad in Jason's stead especially since he heard Michael has abandoned their dad and Sonny is basically out here alone...

B&B: Promo for Week of April 25
Steffy remembers Finn!
video description: "Steffy is shattered by memories of Finn and what she's lost."

this story is dumb af, but this scene is actually really sad. People drag her and don't put respect on her name, but JM is honestly carrying B&B on her back at this point and is a stellar actress that knows how to nuance performance. The way her tone shifts from hopeful to cautious when asking about Finn really hit me in away I wasn't expecting. I was actually expecting the Sharon scenes this past week to hit me in a similar way, but it all left me cold. SC needs to get it together. LOL

i know this is like 7 years old, but I hope she brings this same energy to the role. I've always thought Sumer should be a free-spirit type of Phoebe-esque (from Friends) character to contrast Phyllis' cattiness and severity.

Nah, I still think Ashland's the one who killed Rey and he's just framing Victoria.

oh, I'm almost 100% sure it will be revealed to have been Sally many months from now, but in the meantime we will be lead to believe it was Vic while they play sketchy music over Ashland. A mess.

Ashland framing Victoria for killing Rey could potentially have a lot of dramatic angles, but it feels rushed and sloppy. The Sharon/Rey/Chelsea triangle was likely a dead end, but you’d think they would have developed it more before *killing* the guy.

to sh*t on the guy's character and make it "ok" in the hearts of fans they will probably reveal Rey was cheating with either Chelsea or someone else (Sally?). That's how Y&R do, these days. 

so... not only are they still trying to make Ashland/Vic happen, despite the tepid response from fans, they are making Vic kill forever fan fave Sharon's husband? It's like they WANT people to actively dislike Vic/Ashland even tho they stay shoving them down our throats. Yikes.

I hate that. Kyle should be a total mama's boy. She was basically a single mother to him up until her "death". They were extremely close. He should be elated that she's alive.

oh, I agree. I think it would be a lot more interesting if Kyle is a complete mama's boy and basically kicks Jack to the curb, but IDK what is up with Y&R writers but it seems like large swathes of the male cast hate their mothers or at least have a sort of weird adversarial or non-relationship with them if any at all. It's really weird. 

i just KNOW they're gonna retread the same SL they did when Jack's mom came back.

I am going to go on ahead and guess that Kyle will want Diane back in his life, while Jack doesn’t. Kyle hasn’t had a mother for a long time and only has memories of Diane being a mother, likely a protective one.

i was actually thinking it would be the opposite... Jack will want Kyle to give his mom a chance and Kyle and Phyl will both be super against it. lol

lmao, when they told him he would be acting opposite Susan Walters (who is a bigger deal outside of soaps than the lot of them) + he has bills to pay and ain't nobody else calling but Onlyfans of course he signed on the dotted line.

It's flipping weird that this sex tape nonsense is the umbrella story on this show. I could understand it if there were some mystery to it, some labyrinthian plot but...Esme did it. Everyone knows Esme did it. She isn't even a good liar. They give less airtime to characters murdering people.

and what's dumb about it is that the sex-tape isn't even being used as a transformative device for the central characters - I had hopes Joss would be like "whatever" about the sex tape and start to "change" from the attention as she became sort of like a Paris Hilton/Kim K type relishing in the IG/twitter/tik-tok (or whatever GH calls their social media, lol) followers and Cameron was sort of dying from all the embarrassment as his mom Elizabeth was suffering at work from it and the whole ordeal started to grow a rift between them, and the whole thing blowing up to involve the police investigating Trina made Esme draw pause and show some humanity and remorse as she regrets things going this far (instead we see Esme laughing to herself about everything and not caring about the police or Trina looking at a conviction at all). 

but no, we get none of that. Instead we get a soulless Nelle retread in Esme and Joss/Cam being boring/self-righteous as ever while poor Trina bears the brunt of it all while LITERALLY being a nice person. And nobody cares because she's black and black characters need to suffer for no other reason if not for the color of their skin. 

freaking YIKES. First she gets the ish scared out of her/attached by Spencer/Esme, and now this. What are these writers on? Honestly. I have never seen a genuinely upright/good character like Trina treated this badly unconditionally over and over again.

I am so glad more people are boarding Team Trina and want to expose Esme and Free Trina.

 

The new Evidence: Her Credit Card to buy an art Download. 

Credit Cards can be stolen and skimmed all the time 

Are you telling me that all the times Esme used the phone, sans gloves that her finger prints arent on it. 

 

Also Trace where the phone was bought

 

the way cell phones work, they should be able to trace the general location/cell phone towers that were used whenever the phone went online at any given moment and whether or not Trina has an alibi/was in another location, completely ruling her out. They should also be able to see what Trina's usage pattern was and then see when/how/if that all changed. 

if this was a regular case I'm not sure they would bother going that deep, but considering they have Spinelli investigating and the case has become high profile because of all the parties involved I don't see how all that isn't being investigated. 

lawd, they're gonna do Nancy + Clyde, aren't they?

Actually I truly feel this story would have happened no matter who was playing Trina. Maybe Sydney knew where Trina was heading & knew  she couldnt commit to Trina and Give College 100%. So she chose college and GH recast with Tabyana

11 hours ago, Vee said:

Well, one, that doesn't really make sense because she's been on about two weeks. It was plotted well before Mikayla left the screen. And two, frankly I think the recast was very strong in that scene and IMO at least as strong if not moreso than SM.

the fight in the interrogation room where Spencer didn't believe Trina seemed very hilarious and out of place given the circumstances Trina has literally been one of the few people that were not going in on Esme (except for recently) to the detriment of her relationship with Joss and Trina has NEVER done something like this or schemed at all and is CONSTANTLY getting on Spencer's case for breaking the law, so yeah... just based on Spencer's own experience with Trina, Spencer's take is VERY shoehorned to put them at odds/create drama.  

and the turn this story took to pull in the older cast members and especially Esme/Nicolas doesn't seem plotted out. It's like they JUST thought of the turn this story would take. 

yeah, they def would not be doing this story in this same way if the OG actress was still there. lol

I'm all for them adding an AAPL contract player, finally. He's very hot. I am not for him being used to push Trina off into the ethnic sidekick role for good and get her away from a hot lead Frank would prefer be with a white girl. Playing a spoiler is fine, but I've seen that other kind of game before and we all have. So we'll see what plays out.

imo, Trina became a sidekick to TPTB when the OG actress left. I cannot imagine that scene in the interrogation room between Trina/Spencer w/ the OG actress and I certainly don't think they would be putting Trina through a trial if the OG actress was still there - she was just too popular for the show to go this route. Now that she's gone, it's gonna be the Joss/Esme show with Trina existing on the periphery. zZZZ
