Crucify.

The episodes we watched tonight at dinner... were... November 3 and 4 - 1988! Yey for the good video and audio quality episodes coming back! Eddie Drueding is an angel and his youtube channel is my home base. So... let's begin, shall we! We had another 2 great episodes, written by Harding Lemay. I will remark on some of the things that stood out to me. We had Jason Frame, being horribly beaten up and then Vicky and Sharlene helping him in the kitchen. We had Vicky declaring she wants her 250 000 dollars back! We had Vicky calling Jamie and interrupting an intimate moment. In the Corys chaotic world we had Evan creating more and more problems... He's been getting a lot of calls from a mysterious person. But we all know what that is, don't we? 🤣 And... long and behold - Rachel signed the wrong document that is putting the entire company in jeopardy! Who's going to help them now? Iris to the rescue. Acting like her most innocent self. She only wants to help? (But she has to ruin you first! Haha!) The episode ended on a great cliffhanger - Iris offering Rachel to give a huge chunk of her capital to save the company. How selfless of that little fox. Daddy will be so happy. Saint Iris is saving him once again. But at what cost? 😈 I already know, since I'm watching these episodes for the second time, but my husband is new to the whole circus. I'm telling him who is who the entire time we are watching. At one point I was in a midst of a crazy unintentional monologue that sounded something like - she is the sister of the girl that is married to the man who is brother to the mother of the woman who helped that man with the blue eyes that is the father of the young guy that is a boyfriend to the daughter of the biggest enemy of that other woman. 🤣 We both were laughing! And I felt kinda smart (not that much) for remembering sooooooooo many connections and family stuff. 🙈 Overall - 10 out of 10! Tomorrow we continue with 1 or 2 more episodes. And here is a moment I loved. Iris... in her most deliciously evil state. Another World - November 4, 1988 (720p_30fps_H264-128kbit_AAC).mp4

It's below 0 outside... and I've been out... close to 2 hours (a lot of walking with the dog and shopping)... and now I have extremely dry eyes... one of them is even blood shot. Ugh... I guess I should not go out in the cold so much!

I agree 100 percent. Toxic energy... I cut... at the second I feel it. I don't give second chances or forgive anyone or anything in my life, because no one is more important to me than ME. You either respect me or you don't. Period. I've been so emotionally abused my whole life, that I don't have even 1 second left to spare. For example, both my parents are currently blocked, since none respect my boundaries. In the past I used to tolerate this and just... smile through the pain. Now, I just disassociate and forget they even exist. It's that simple. And I don't give explanations why I do it - I just do it. Someone who doesn't respect me, doesn't deserve explanations in return. Silence is an answer. One of the clearest and most direct ones.

I want... (and I'm not demanding... just an observation) to keep the mood happy in here. I mean... life is not that long (it really isn't)... to lose time with negativity. And I've observed that any time I come in here, there is some negativity... people doubting if the show will survive before it has even started and etc. I get all of this... I respect everyone's opinions. But I also want to KEEP being happy. I know it may sound like I'm ignoring the negative and only focusing on the positive, but I do want to keep being excited. And I agree 100 percent with everything that @Errol said. Anything I've found strange or inappropriate... I've reported it. And that's all. We, the members, are still not admins, and never will be, to tell other people what they can and cannot post in here. Period. Of course we can disagree, but know that in the end... we are NOT the authority in this forum. That's why I said days ago that demands and requests of how other people should act, what to post, to not post, what to focus or not focus, are counter-productive. First - they're completely useless, if you are not an authority, and second - people do the exact thing they are asked not to do... the moment you ask them. And wanting to keep it positive... I want to share this clip of the wonderful and talented Tamara Tunie - I am obsessed with finding clips and material with her. And imagining how she's going to play the role of Anita... And yes - I still like her first outfit that we've seen. I think it's iconic.

God... I hope this is true. I want more soaps. ❤️

No.

I got the munchies at 3 in the morning... in an attempt to sober up. What I made - classic sh-t - two slices of bread with salami, mozzarella and tomato.

The internet stopped for like 10 minutes... while I was dancing. Not cute... vodafone... not cute.

When I change to... vodka.

Me and my husband are 2 new episodes in! The episodes in question were - November 1 and 2 1988. Again two very good episodes. We have the troublemaker Jason Frame trying to control Sharlene and forbid her from working with John. We have the always beautifully-sinister Iris manipulating Donna into spilling all the tea about her enemies. We also saw her gift Daddy and Rachel jewelry! Oh, God, if the only knew what she has planned for them. We also had Vicky desperate to catch Jamie's attention and Marley's equally desperate battle to get pregnant. We saw one very touching scene between the two sisters... one pregnant, but with her priorities wrong, and the other... not able to have what her own sister is currently living through. My husband remarked - And that is one actress that is playing them both! YES. Wow, she's playing them so differently. And he is right. And you know what, I like them both in different ways... and the fact that it's Anne playing both of them... makes it even more special. Overall... happy husband, happy night. 10/10 - I have absolutely no issues, except that these two copies had worse sound, but Thank God for the automated captions! P.S He's started to hum the intro music. I think I'm achieving something here. 🙈 2024-11-19 01-47-24.mp4

And I admire you guys' strength to continue watching! I will keep and eye the topics, even though I don't plan on watching this drivel. 😊

I believe that Eric wanted to be with Beth Logan - Brooke's mother. He gave some sort of a cold shoulder to Stephanie (I remember Stephanie talking about this through the years)... and that's why she had that 1 time with Massimo... In a way... she was single for this period when she and Eric were kind of broken up... I think it was on a BOAT where Massimo and Stephanie conceived Ridge. But when Stephanie got pregnant... she thought it definitely had to be Eric and she... pressured him using the baby - Ridge... to choose her and not Beth Logan. In a way... Stephanie was making a very Brooke-move. Which is so iconic. Brooke even said that to Stephanie the first time Stephanie slapped her - You had to get pregnant to take him away from my mother! Then in 2001 when Ridge was badly hurt... and blood transfusion had to be made... The doctors told Stephanie that there is no way Eric can be his father based on the blood types. Someone correct anything I remembered wrong... but I do think I'm right.
