Fairy tale

@MaximI'm so glad that you're enjoying it, and envious at being able to watch it for the first time.

Isn't it remarkable the number of stories being juggled in a half hour show?  To me, the idea that drew me to EON is the way in which stories are interwoven.  You begin to think that a plot only involves a single set of characters, but all of a sudden others are drawn in, and you feel the impact of the event on their society.  The way in which plots don't just have a beginning, middle, and end, but they evolve into other stories is captivating.  

And the audacity to have Raven leave, mid-episode, not even on a Friday cliffhanger, is a choice that one would never see today.

Yes I am a complete EON virgin. I can't wait for Raven to come back! 

She is Bold and she is Beautiful

My favorite monologue is from Raven when she is leaving Monticello and "giving" Jamie to April and Draper.

"I want to fly, but not on a plane. No, No, I want wings of my own.  That's why I call myself Raven. See, I was the one that took that name when I was a little girl.  My real name is Charlotte.  Can you imagine? But, one day I was sitting on the lawn and I saw this beautiful black bird with shiny wings fly by.  I wanted to be that bird. So beautiful. So free. With beautiful black wings..."

The build of the theme song also makes the dialogue really powerful. 

I was referring to this exactly. It was so beautiful.

I am now up to episode 6109!

In  

I blame the bad weather and being home alone yesterday... but... I somehow managed to get to 6097! So I am nearly 50 episodes in in 2-3 days. It was great at first, but I was not familiar with any of the characters, now that I am... I am so happy I decided to give this soap a chance. The quality of the episodes is amazing and the audio too. I love the sets and the atmosphere. I cried when Raven left her child with April. Her monologue was so STRONG. I hate her and I also love her. I am HOOKED. Today I am having another semi-free day and again... home alone, and with the thunderstorms outside, me and the dog will probably have to binge another 10-15 episodes. Can't wait.

Suddenly it's sooo cold again. It was hot for like 2 days. I am already mourning the good weather... seeing the forecast - 2 weeks of nothing but rain. 

When I hear this song, I want a gin and tonic at the second. 

Lost episodes of soap operas... I was just watching a classic soap and one of the best moments ended on a cliffhanger... only to find out the next episode missing. I am... so IRKED.

I can get with this.  FIX the show.  Don't cancel it.

It still irks me when we are down to 4 shows in this genre, and people wish a show, any show, cancelation.  This isn't directed at anyone in particular so don't come at me.  Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion, I get it.

Bold has better cast talent that some shows in prime time. I say this without any exaggeration. That's what sad to me and that makes me so mad. That wasted opportunity. Imagine Bill Bell writing for JMW or Annika... It would be so good. I got goosebumps just thinking about it.

I would just... give Bradley a hint to... maybe... consider resting and just enjoying his later years... than to struggle like this. There are so many TALENTED workless writers that could transform Bold into a masterpiece. Bold is the easiest show to fix, LA, fashion, beautiful people - who can go wrong with this... It's not like this... deep drama or compelling suspense. It's light. 

And I have asked for cancellation many times... I know. But recently I have just been blown away by the actors in the show - Annika, KKL, JMW... they are amazing. And they will shine so much with a great writer.

It's the first time I've ever found soccer enjoyable!  Too bad they don't play everyday.

Managed to binge from 6051 to now 6085.

I love this show.  Right now it's starting to rain outside with a thunderstorm coming and the whole mood if perfect for Mansion of the damned, Lol.

I also love that most characters have edge and so many villains lurking around.

Elliot is soo conniving. Raven is wretched and fun.

And Nola is a goddess.

Thanks. Apologies for being away. I'm just dealing with some personal stuff.

Fingers crossed that everything is and will be alright. We were all wondering where you are and missing you! Happy you are here now. And you are okay.

I had an iPhone 6 a while back. It was a great phone. I miss it.

I can only imagine what this phone saw. 

Just now, Soapsuds said:

Lol...no

The camera sucks....the red stains are fruit punch stains. I spilled some.....clock behind drink

I love this camera. I would go back to that quality any day. Modern day phones have too good of cameras - makes me really see what people look like.. which I don't want to sometimes.

You need to do a taste test.

Is this taken on an Iphone 4? 

I am a sucker for KFC from time to time. Used to live next to one and would be the first customer lots of times. BON APETIT @Soapsuds
