A redemption arc for a psychotic stalker was to make him GAY? And how this could be "special for the show". Bradley Bell... WTF. People (writers, producers) really need to stop USING the gay community for clout and ratings. WE ARE DONE WITH THIS. Also Lisa... just revealed that Luna was supposed to be this virginal innocent girl... and then one time she asked Brad to "make her bad" and he did. I mean... WE WERE TELLING EVERYONE THAT THIS WAS A RE-WRITE and that she WAS indeed raped... but some people were saying she was planned evil from the start. OK... Now you now.

I started with October 1991 and I quickly got into it with Blair's arrival. It's a time where the new producer-writer team are doing a lot of changes, so a lot of people are written off/killed off and lots of new storylines begin. I was recommended by a hardcore OLTL fan to start watching somewhere April to October, since they told me... that in April... Alex and Bo's storyline really kicked off (Alex's obsession and reign of terror) So while I was watching October-December 1991 I was going back to April, May and etc... to watch that storyline in particular. So if I really have to answer... I'll say - April 1991 (to enjoy Alex's storyline) or September-October 1991 (The new regime and Blair coming into the picture).

Sign me up for that. 😍

I think she'll get pregnant for real just as she is about to finish him off... 😂

"Other women out there..." 😂 ❤️ The bitch is one BEATA vodka from having a mistake with the man under the bar counter. fffffffffffffffffffffff.mp4

Y'all gonna think I'm crazy... (but we know the writers are crazy too) but I felt a strange vibe when Brooke was talking to Deacon... she was giving her "sex kitten" look... more than usual. Is it possible that after Taylor gets interested in Deacon... Brooke may reawaken her "i-need-to-have-the-other-woman-s-man-especially-if-its-Taylor" complex. LOL. We've seen it before... as soon as a man gets with someone who Brooke hates or has had an issue with... he becomes attractive to her. I'm not discarding the serial killer wife... but I also think that Brad Bell has written a new younger Sheila - Luna... and the old one has just stopped being interesting to him. She's been parked doing nothing since... I don't know... Spring 2024?! I could definitely see Brooke deciding she wants Deacon in the future just to spite Taylor. Or it may just be KKL being her usual charming... chemistry-with-everyone self. And what karma would that be for as-hole Ridge if she ends up cheating. (I would rather anyone but Deacon... but we all know Brad Bell likes to recycle) We'll see. But I'm starved for a Brooke scandal, you know me. fffffffffffffffff.mp4

She's a major buzzkill. And even though I usually like that annoyingly moral person in soaps... (because it's all so entertaining watching them fall and struggle with their choices when time comes...) something's missing when it comes to Naomi. I think the potential is there but... As @Taoboiwonderfully analysed couple of posts back - there have been a few beginnings and missed opportunities when it comes to story and character development. But I think her time will come. So far this show has proven that they can definitely pull rabbits out of hats and surprise us.

I can't wait to see it later when they upload it on the official site. 😂

While they are building ballrooms... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/02/trump-cost-ballroom-government-shutdown The luxury gap: Trump builds his palace as Americans face going hungry "Images of wealthy monarchs or autocrats revelling in excess even as the masses struggle for bread are more commonly associated with the likes of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette of France, who spent lavishly at the court of Versailles, or Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos of the Philippines, who siphoned off billions while citizens endured deepening poverty." "But now America has a jarring split-screen of its own, between an oligarch president bringing a Midas touch to the White House and families going hungry, workers losing pay and government services on the brink of collapse." "Trump has made a personal profit of more than $1.8bn over the past year, according to a new financial tracker run by the Center for American Progress thinktank, which says the lion’s share came from launching his own crypto ventures while aggressively deregulating the industry. Other sources of income include gifts, legal settlements and income from a $40m Amazon documentary about the first lady, Melania Trump."

The amazing uploads continue!

I'm saying this as a fellow actor - you need to hire an acting coach asap. cebe518c33551c9b62d378b68f654342.mp4

Now... I need to see this. 😁

😂😂😂😂😂 You can't write this level of... cringe.

New uploads like this make me hopeful more of the early 80s would be available sooner or later. It seems like with each passing year... more and more treasures are being found. All credit of course goes to the uploaders.

Now as you mention this... and trigger my curiosity about Marland's writing. I feel like I'm destined to dive into his ATWT sooner or later. It's just meant to happen. I haven't seen any of his material with exception of couple of 1982 Guiding Light episodes in German that I actually loved. BTW... I just did a quick google search... looking for Viki's weak spot in his youth - Roy Thinnes (Sloan) and I was not prepared for this. WOW. I mean... Jesus... The man was breathtaking. Viki has good taste.

This piece from the movie also haunts me.

Two episodes from December 1981 I hadn't seen online from that amazing youtube channel.

Thank you guys @YRfan23 and @jcar03. I like seeing KKL more regularly. Even if just to see her. Brooke hasn't had an interesting storyline in a decade.

God I hope in 10 years time to look back and say... what a horrible era (2020-2025) that was... but we had patience and the show got better. It's almost like someone is sick and you are praying for a miracle.

Blaming the writing for Alex Alegria's "performances"... sounds like an attempt at comedy. Listen, I doubt Alex Alegria could even manage to say "Hello" in a natural sounding way... let alone full lines of dialogue.
