I'm finally up to date. Disclaimer - I'm sorry if some of my thoughts may disturb people who come here to only read positive comments. I mean no harm. ❤️ Quite the opposite actually. Some hardcore negatives - lack of background music makes a lot of these scenes absurd, empty and cringe. When Tomas is trying to "act" and talk like a human being... and Dani is staring at him like she can't remember if she was in his DMs last week... there needs to be a hint of music. Please cover all that bad acting with something. Don't make me hear every breath Tomas aka "Google AI"... takes. Ashley and Derek make my skin crawl... Ashley pretending to be stressed that her porn-actor boyfriend is going to break up with her... was next level cringe. They should decide what she is, because her characterization is very messy. Also... why the hell is Andre even talking to her anymore? "With a woman like you... I'll never let you go"... he tells her... And then she proceeds to tell him she'll go home and take a shower... Good decision. Can she just... catch the bubonic plague at the hospital and just disappear from the canvas. Give someone else that airtime. Stop trying to make Ashley happen. A positive - Martin is getting better and better. He is the type of melodramatic actor, that I can stomach and tolerate and even like. He tries very hard... and sometimes it works. A huge improvement from the start. Brava!

Youtube is finally up to Stephanie's fake heart attack.

After a huge, huge binge last night where I barely slept... I'm up to Feb 18th, 1992! Megan died (I let out a tear or two during Victoria's scenes in the hospital), Luna and Max did a number on Asa aaaaaaand Leanne agreed to marry that idiot Kevin. But all of this is second to... the queen herself is BAAAAAACK! Alex Olanov is free to roam the streets of Llanview. She manipulated the district attorney, the new cute guy with the mustache - Hank... to release her and grant her immunity... by giving him recordings of Carlo Hesser organizing his crimes. She then proceeded to stage a meeting with Carlo by pretending to be someone else on the phone... and then gifted him on a silver platter to the district attorney! The moment Bo saw her enter the restaurant was pure gold. I know it's bordering on camp - having a double murderess go out the insane asylum just like that, but it's just soooo entertaining. Watch out Bo and Cassie. 🐍 Alex is back.mp4

The writing for Ted is the issue in my opinion. It's illogical. The actor is fine.

Didn't notice too! ❤️

That's how I feel too. So far. We'll see how it evolves.

Thank you for providing that laugh for me... this is hilarious.🤣

Aaaaaah, it's just a prop for Brooke and Ridge then... I missed this info! Thank you for the clarification.

No build up to Nick and Brooke what so ever... This is just not how it's done. My worst fear was that it's going to be something like this. Rushed, rushed, rushed. Just reading these recaps I'm having whiplash. It would have been so much better if Nick came just as a friend, as someone who is worried about Brooke. Why do we need to jump to LOVE and Romance the first week?! At least he is not recast with someone in his mid 40s. At least that. We'll see. I'm just happy to see him back, but these descriptions just don't sit well with me. In the end of the day, what do I expect? If Brooke was 10-15 years younger, she would have been pregnant by Nick 3 months from now. @janea4old - thank you for posting these!

5 HW changes in one year?!!!!... Wow, this should be illegal in the world of soap opera. Wretched.

I have to agree, something is definitely off with that character now and I'm not blaming the actor. You can't act something that isn't written. That isn't there.

Judging by how absolutely everything they have played in these live streams so far comes from the actual playlists (same quality, same glitches, same everything)... I'm inclined to believe it's the same 360p quality. Bummer, but I'll live with it if it's only this one episode. LOL, it will be very over the top if they continue putting 360 episodes with 1080 tag. Youtube actually bans channels for things like that. 🤣

Ah, my girl is so easy... Give her 2 minutes with a long lost love and she is exchanging fluids already. Love them. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for the tag.
