Another scene I wanted to clip. Victoria confronts Blair about her alleged dealings with Asa. "You do damage to other people... but you're always the injured party."

Up to April 22th, 1992. ✂️ "The missing Cramer sister." It's a stormy night in Llanview! 🔷 So what is going on right now? 🔷 Alex Olanov surprised her guests at the mob dinner with... a dose of physical abuse. She strangled one of the men and verbally attacked the others. Just when they were counting her out as... a dumb blonde they can walk on... Alex showed them what she is capable of. It's safe to say that the mob world has a new HBIC. 🔷 Cain was arrested and then quickly freed since he managed to provide an alibi - he was breaking into Alex Olanov's apartment the night of the murder and he had the video surveillance footage to prove it. He and Tina did spent a night in jail though, getting more and more intimate with each other through the metal bars. I'm not sure about these two. They are very cartoonish at times... and it's a bit of rush to make Tina so romantically active just mere months after Cord's death. Makes her seem like an easy woman. 🔷 Dorian decided it's time to find out what exactly Blair wants from her. She traveled to her home town in Ohio and met with the woman who is keeping her parents' house. She told her many things that opened even more doors to the past. I got goosebumps. Dorian decided she must visit the hospital where her sister Agatha died next. 🔷 Cassie turned Sarah in for questioning, but Sarah managed to get herself out of trouble (for now) by being honest and upfront with Hank. She told him that she fell asleep and doesn't remember what happened other than watching the lake that night. Hmm. I'm not buying this. 🔷 While Dorian was searching for more information, Addie (Agatha) was slowly going out of control. She wanted to see Max and constantly repeated the word MURDER. In the end she attacked Blair with a pair of scissors. I couldn't help but wonder if the show may completely shock us in the end and reveal it was Agatha who shot Carlo. But that would be so... fantastic and unrealistic. But still... 🔷 As usual, I'm most interested in the Renee-Asa marriage unraveling. Renee fled to Vegas to file for divorce. Victoria and the rest of the family tried to stop her, but Renee was not hearing it. I hope she does divorce this drunken piece of sh-t. But I also hope she doesn't, because then we'll stop seeing these over the top clashes. 😂 🔷 Overall - 10 out of 10! Clip of the day - The public histrionics that make this show unforgettable. It seems that Renee and Asa always fight in front of an audience. I couldn't stop laughing. And that drink in the face... was well deserved. ffff.mp4

She really is. I didn't expect this, because I've always heard people prefer Strasser. Again, I can't compare yet... I'll be able to when I get to mid 1993 (I think that's when she comes back). I have seen some 80s episodes with RS, but not enough to make my mind. I would need to follow her for couple of months minimum. I have no idea how the show will feel after losing 2 of the most leading faces right now - Mia Korf and Elaine Princi.

I think Dorian right now is very easy to root for, very easy to sympathize with. Elaine Princi is giving her so much dept and sensitivity. I haven't seen that much from RS's Dorian (10-15 episodes from 1986 max)... so I can't talk much about her. But I will cry when this Dorian is gone. I simply love her. I hope that I will care for the character as much as this... when RS is back.

Omg. I've been saying this about the music every week. 1000 percent agree. Some of the bad acting looks even worse when it's happening without some kind of music. Okay, don't use music when Anita is speaking... it doesn't bother me. But... please put some instrumental when the AI robot dating Kat is trying to talk.

Everyone in this show has been a hot mess for more than 30 years. I mean... Please. My point was that this current Taylor is not even Taylor. She is a pathetic shell of a woman that exists only to make Ridge feel he's a God . And no, I'm sorry... we can't ignore the fact that Bradley has recast this character twice only to humiliate her even further. And further. That's the key point. There are important nuances that we can't close our eyes to. It's not the same as Taylor being a "mess" ever since 2005. Because it is different. Again... if you ask me... Taylor and everyone else have been a mess ever since 1994, but that's another topic. So... No... I don't see anyone "acting brand new" about anything. We are just saying our opinion. I still think that this particular fan base that used to drive online discussions... The Taylor camp... is completely gone at this point. Nobody sees or perceives 2025 Taylee as Taylor Hayes.

Sheila got the girls out. 😂

Up to April 16th, 1992. 🐶 "Who's the BOSS now?" I'm back at my usual pace of 2-3 episodes max a day. 🍷 So what is going on right now? 🔷 Blair did the unthinkable - she decided to play rough and humiliate Dorian in front of the entire town. She put Dorian's intimate photo with Jason on the front page of "The Intruder". That caused quite the social storm - Dorian was expelled from "The Daughters of Llanview" and couple of other stupid organizations. It was very strange witnessing this "You are expelled!" routine, because why was Dorian in these conservative groups to begin with? She runs a disgusting yellow tabloid for God's sake. Blair's provocation misfired, because in the end this attack had the opposite of the desired effect. It did not hurt Dorian at all. She couldn't care less if she was part of these groups anymore. What she cared for... was Jason. And Jason saw the cover, ran to console her... the two reunited. Blair's trick actually helped Dorian get her boy-toy back. Touché. You can't de-throne the queen that easy, Blair. You have to try harder. 🔷 Alex Olanov is preparing for the first meeting with Carlo's associates. The serial murderess with crazy eyes wants to be the head of the entire mob world. Will she succeed? We'll found out. I'm happy that they gave her more than just... the obsessed ex-girfriend. That Fatal Attraction storyline was okay, but this right now is a lot more dynamic. And even though I'm opposed to mob storylines in soaps, in OLTL... it just works. For now. 🔷 Dorian's private investigator found out something very sinister. Blair has been researching her for months and months even before coming to Llanview. So this is a planned invasion. Something more serious than it appears. Dorian went back in time and remembered her home town, her house and her two sisters - Melinda and Agatha. She told the story to Jason - how her sister Agatha... was the most gifted and amazing girl... till she fell ill and passed away. Jason asked her if there is anything even darker that she is not telling. Dorian did not respond. 🔷 The Carlo Hesser investigation is moving forward. Tina was arrested in order to get Cain out of his haiding. But we have new leads, thanks to Cassie. In a typical soap opera fashion, the second she left "The Banner"... she joined the district attorney's team as a detective. These people change their professions on a whim sometimes. LOL. But good for her! Away from that piece of sh-t named Bo. I don't even want to see him. I despise him after what he did to her. Cassie's first move as a detective was noticing untruths in Sarah and Bo's statements about where Sarah was on the night of the murder. Nothing more dangerous than a scorned woman. Ruin her life, Cassie. Do it! Jail that drug addict! I can't stand Sarah and her manipulate victim routine. I'm team Cassie 100 percent. 🔷 Now let's get to the most spicy part - Blair and Asa finally crossed the boundary! It was about time and building up nicely. Just an episode before that... Asa gave Blair a loan so she can buy cheap "Intruder" stocks while the magazine is having hard times. @DRW50 told me I was going to enjoy a scene in the future with the trio (Renee, Asa and Blair) and if he was talking about this scene... then he was 100 percent right - I gasped, then laughed out loud... then I wanted to slap Asa. His attempts at lying is ridiculous. 🔷 So now that Blair is on the verge of destroying Renee's marriage... our little fox is about to become really really BIG in Llanview. And I can't freaking wait. MIA KORF is a GODDESS. Overall - 11!/10! - AMAZING. Clip of the day - He just... offered her a friendly set of lips. That's all. What is the next thing you are going to give her as a friendly gesture, Asa? Please don't tell us, because we know. ddddddddddddd.mp4

Today I tried the jeans I used to wear years and years ago when I was super obsessed with my weight and really fit. And Jesus Christ they fit perfectly. I had no idea I was back at that shape. Was not even thinking about it. Just trying to eat healthy and add veggies in every meal the last couple of months. Also loots and lots of strawberries and watermelon instead of processed sweets. I've basically stopped processed sugar. This has made my month. I think I have to hit the beach very soon with my husband. 😂 Till this lasts.

Do we have any idea if they plan to add Seasons 2-3... in Shout-TV.

The only thing that didn't sit well with me is how short their marriage was before Carlo getting murdered. They were so fun together, I think we only scratched the surface of what could be. And I'm getting a fatigue from all these characters dying. Ever since I've started watching the show... we've had 3 major character deaths in 6 months - Cord, Megan and now Carlo. They are smart enough in the writing to think of other ways to get rid of characters. Why does it always have to be a death. I hope in the next 6 months there is less death. 😂

I'm just happy it's a woman and that BTG will continue being more of a woman's point of view show. In this day and age... This is a thing to be proud of.

So what? I've seen the classic Bold episodes more than once, I know them by heart. I don't know what this clip proves and what it has to do with my statement that the current Taylor is beyond pathetic. I've never said that Ridge didn't love Brooke. Also... Ridge has said similar if not even grander things to Taylor when she was the chosen one many times. He has told her that she is the woman of his life many times. It's a soap opera and characters flip flop like that all the time. This clip is from Bradley Bell's era already and episode "1844" is when Ridge thought Taylor had died in a plane crash. Before that he had plenty of opportunities to be with Brooke, but always chose Taylor. Let me remind you that Ridge chose Taylor even when he thought Brooke was pregnant by him. But anyways... I don't know why I'm having to explain this. I've never claimed Ridge didn't love Brooke. My statement was to do with the entire character of Taylor. I still stand by it.

Nobody is safe from that.

We are safe from Carl Ivati for now. 😂
