I agree with this 100 percent. Her 2002 stint was very entertaining... but everything after that has been horrible. Sheila lost her soul. She became a one-note caricature. The idea of Erica being a second generation Sheila could have been nice... but Bradley f-cked that up too. 2016's return was exciting... for like 5 episodes. Then it became obvious Bradley only wants to shoot meaningless catfights for ratings. Quinn vs Sheila never worked for me. It was too over the top. Both were nasty human beings and they both lacked substance. It became something like Alien vs Predator type of trash. The most recent return... 2021... till today... has been a complete disaster. Sheila is no longer Sheila. I have no idea what or who she is. My local McDonalds cashier-lady is more menacing than her... at this point.

God this AI sounds like it loves reading SON. Lots of these stuff sound like straight from our board. 🤣🤣🤣

Liam is the new Taylor. The new joke of a character that Bradley wants to trash. I wonder what SC did to deserve this storyline... Lol. I'm only joking of course.

I think he is improving. I've grown accustomed to his style of acting and it doesn't bother me at all. At least he is not boring... like some other entities.

Thank you @Errol! I will have to watch this. Love me some Deidre Hall.

I simply adore... Nancy Addison... so I will have to jump back into it sometime this year. 💓

Up to June 11th, 1992. 💍 "Speak now or forever hold your peace!" 🔷 Two fresh new episodes from last night. And boy, were they packed with drama and surprises! So what is going on right now? 🔷 Let's begin with the important part. Blair and Max shared a passionate moment (or two... or three) right before Blair came down to marry Asa. The previous scene was really intense - you could feel how conflicted Blair was. @DRW50 - Mia Korf delivered an incredible performance. I've included it in the "clip of the day" section of my review. Joan Crawford called... asking for her cinematic... beautiful tears. She wanted them back, but Mia Korf has them now! I can't understand why this woman wasn't nominated for an Emmy?! She's way better than 99.9 percent of soap opera actors. 🔷 Alex Olanov's scheme to blackmail Mayor Callison didn't go as planned. Herb revealed his nasty side when he nearly choked her to death and left her bleeding. Moments before that... Alex blew up Cassie's car... as a warning to Herb. I suppose the dreams of becoming Mrs. Mayor will have to wait. 🔷 Out of nowhere, Cassie is kissing Andrew, and I'm not sure how to feel about it. I still believe the Reverend has better chemistry with the other guys on the show. Plus... wouldn't Cassie and Andrew be... super dull together? They're both really nice and good people. That makes for boring couples lots of times. And so predictable. Unless Cassie turns BAD GIRL in the future, which I can totally picture happening. We'll just have to wait and see. 🔷 Let me rewind a little. After sleeping with Max, Blair left him with the impression he should wait for her in his apartment. That she was DONE with Asa. Proud of his pee-pee, Max started dancing his way home. Blair, however, did the complete opposite. That's her modus operandi at this point. So... she began applying her makeup and put on the wedding dress. Still feeling upset and struggling with what she was about to do... she went downstairs and shocked all the guests (who were starting to laugh at Asa, telling him that she had abandoned him at the altar). Blair arrived more stunning than ever. I actually said - WOW. 🔷 Dorian Lord went to see Leanne and made her a deal. She offered to sponsor Leanne with all the money she needs to fight for custody of her unborn baby... (when the inevitable custody battle happens) and in exchange, Leanne would have to stay away from Jason. Leanne was really upset about this and tried to get rid of Dorian. In her anger... she called her an old witch or something like that... and Dorian actually SLAPPED a pregnant woman. Wow, I've only seen stuff like this on Bold. Hitting a woman is bad enough, but hitting a PREGNANT woman is... insane. Dorian... what is wrong with you? Clip of the day! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blair sleeps with Max minutes before her wedding with Asa.

Ah, I hate men grabbing women like that too. Alex Olanov, for example, has been man-handled brutally by so many males on this show so far... Carlo and his sado-masochistic tendencies to tie her up and choke her... now the mayor grabbed her by the throat till she bled. Some of these scenes look so real and violent... I'm shocked they aired on tv back in the day. I, of course, won't be clipping any of this, because I don't want to trigger people. And yes - what a performance by Mia Korf! She gave an even stronger one in the clip I'm going to be uploading later in my review. I've never seen such picturesque crying... since watching 40s Joan Crawford. The tears were flowing. And yes, I know crying is not a big deal... not the hardest expression... but... the times I have cringed from soap actors struggling to tear-up and fake-crying. And not just soap actors! (Sarah Jessica Parker, we are yet to see a tear coming down your face...) About Wanda - I love her. I especially adore her devotion to Jason. She really sees the good in him and wants it to shine. A truly empathetic, good person, which we need on our soaps. And I love that she is not naively good, she has a snappy, auntie side to her... suspecting people of misdeeds all the time. That makes her so much more real. The actress is sublime. She can make a scene out of everything. Great to hear that my reviews are triggering such nostalgic feelings in you. @chrisml I would love, love, love to hear your thoughts and experience more of this era together with you and anyone else who wants to join in. This period of the show is truly spectacular, even with it's bumps on the road... it never fails to excite, inspire and make you feel raw emotions... while also intellectually stimulate you. And what more do we need from our soaps? 💓

My God Brooke looks like she just came out of year 2002. So stunning.
