That would have been like a... new Gold (okay, maybe not gold... but something more alive) period for the show, honestly. It would have revived so much interest... Brooke had insane chemistry with Hollis. God, they had only 1 making out scene and it's still more memorable than thousands of scenes with her and Ridge. And Taylor should have moved on too - with Deacon or even... something fresher. God, this show should really be called Missed Opportunities and Unused Talent (maybe we should call it that after today), because every single week I see a glimpse of hope and some kind of storyline idea that gets completely lost in the same old bizarre Bradley Bell circus. 2024 is the worst year of the show in my opinion, and I'm not exaggerating. Even 2023 was somewhat better. At least... when it's been so low and so boring for so long... then even 1 good storyline will feel like it's a masterpiece at this point. LOL. The bar is so low, I don't think it can be called a bar anymore. It's an abyss.

I despise the character of Ridge...(especially when played by an actor that is... very talented, yes, but completely lacks chemistry with his leading lady - SFTV) - he's symbolic of everything that is wrong with Bradley Bell's writing. honor.mp4

OMG, I haven't watched these last 2 episodes. SHE HIT HIM? OMG WHEN... TODAY? I HAVE TO WATCH OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mom said to me, 'You know, sweetheart, one day you should settle down and marry a rich man,' and I said, 'Mom, I am a rich man. In this business (showbiz) it takes time to be really good and by that time, you're obsolete. Mom, I am a rich man. - Cher

I'm sooo glad people are turning away from the MAGA - X. It was about time. People should put a big X on X... and just sink it to nothing. But of course... Musk with his bots is going to continue faking engagement.

The more and more I look into the cast, the more excited I become. Especially the vets. My heart skips just imagining the level of skill and talent these people can offer. Of course... I think we are going to have one amazing matriarch. (I have a soft spot for these types of characters) And I would to see a classic-soap-opera feud... done the way MVJ is only able to do it. I'm so sick of watching one-dimensional drivel on CBS... I think this is a time for change.

Today I forgot my wallet at home when I went to the supermarket... Checked everything into a huge bag... and when it was time to pay... My soul sank when I realized I had not taken my wallet with me. Never happened to me before... the shame of having people watch me Say I'm sorry, I have forgotten my wallet! And go out and back to the apartment. Thank God the girl-cashier was so polite and offered to keep my bag waiting for me. But I did get couple of judgmental stares! LOL. I went back and ran to BUY all the things I had. I managed to do all of it successfully... but not without feeling like I need a box of shame for a bit.

I've had trouble with that CBS channel when wanting to find something too. One hint or advice - maybe you can try putting the entire channel as playlist in Jdownloader2 - a free youtube channel/playlist software. It will check absolutely every video from the channel... even if they are thousands... then you can use the program's search engine to find which files to download. I've done it before and it works.

Can't stop laughing at this. 🤣

I'm back at eating salads. Have to stack up on these vitamins for the winter! My new favorite is this salad mix from the supermarket that I elevate with some yoghurt sauce... like a lot of it... and I add chesse and ham to it... The result is nothing but sublime.

If I see someone hyperfocusing on JUST a white guy in this topic... it will disturb me too. That's the scenario IF it's overly obvious, which I don't think it's happened so far, or maybe I should go back a couple of pages and check if I missed something. And if I see something disturbing or racist, I will report it. Just like how I am disturbed by some words people have used in other topics... that were so vulgar... they should... just be in a different forum, maybe one for fetishes and porn, and not soap operas (I've done my duty to report the really hardcore ones). Since there ARE white characters on the show... it's inevitable that screenshots will be posted. And knowing the vibe here... a lot of them will be shirtless... which is absolutely fine. Glad to see everyone has a healthy libido and normal working eyes! (just joking) At this point, I've gotten used to a lot of things. And also... sadly... my personal observation is that the more someone asks and demands of others to not do something... the more others do it just to spite the one asking. It's just human nature. That's why I just report and try to be as descriptive and exact in my reports. And I'm glad to say... it's working.

I was not talking about Luna crying to other people, that can be perceived as being fake and manipulative, yes. But she cried and was distraught when she was all alone. Many times. We saw that. It's in complete dissonance to the later re-write... which was that she planned everything all along and was scamming her way up. All I'm saying is that EVEN if she was the manipulative b-tch that faked being drugged... to make Zende sleep with her... Even if this was the case (which it wasn't - we saw her all alone distraught) that still doesn't make the man NON-rapist. He chose to sleep with a woman he didn't get a clear consent from, who he didn't check if she was drunk or drugged... he just saw her lying in his bed and proceeded to have penetrative sex with her. I mean... if that's not a rape... then I guess I'm crazy. But yeah, as a rape survivor of something very close to this scenario... (in my case alcohol was used to make me unable to give consent)... I just find it quite disturbing that people are still saying he was not a rapist. He did not get a consent from her. Manipulative bitc-h or not, he did not. He chose to do what he did. That's all I'm going to say and I'm done about this. Not going to beat that dead horse one more time.

I will be able to binge watch it... in like 10 years time, knowing my pace. Which is okay with me. I'm willing to do it. My husband will also be dragged into it, wanting or not. LOL. So... Soap Gods and Goddesses, do something and bring us Restless from Day 1... just like you smiled at us with Bold couple of years ago!

More than some artists have achieved in their entire careers... In just 1 performance.

Some people who lack backbones and dignity... can be nothing other than sycophants and cheerleaders to those in charge or who they perceive is the ones higher in status. These people are worse than rats. I despise them.

I'm sick of bigots.

Absolutely doable. 🥹

All I know is... she is making history... And part of the re-birth of the greatest genre known to mankind - the daytime drama. 🥲

This room looks psychotic. 🤣
