Ah... Brooke's amazing parenting style.

This show is close to cancellation just by looking at these looks. BRING KENYA BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ridge is chasing Brooke like he is some Grim Reaper - RUN, GIRL, RUN! 😁

Why does he repeat the same storyline from 1991 every couple of years though? He can be obsessed with Bridge, but at least write something different. There are plenty of other stuff that a couple can get through... other than the same old - you did something wrong, I'm pissed, so I'm going to marry Taylor... TWIST- No, I'll leave Taylor at the altar - YOU are my destiny. That's been done more times than I can count. Doesn't he have any other story he can tell? Is he that restricted and limited in terms of creative vision? He can't NOT realize that this story has been repeated in 4 decades - multiple times. At this point... anyone who wants to see such a story can just go back to the original early 90s version and watch it in their prime. I really hope to God I don't see the day when Brooke is in her mid 70s and getting wed to Ridge after Taylor got dumped.

BACK TO BASICS!

I am very impressed by Phil. I recently found out he has quite the movie career and I plan to watch some of his stuff when I have more time. He was soooo handsome when he was young. Like... such a classic male beauty. Not that older Asa is not dashing, of course. 😁

I want a crazy soap podcast with Brenda Dickson-type of guests. Megan McTavish level of crazy. Not with these hosts of course. I am so bored by the safe podcasts and interviews. Judging how it's CBS-controlled, I doubt it will be anything new. Lots of how amazing this and that and some humour from time to time. I need a real podcast about the soap opera world - a world full of hidden skeletons and scandals. Every time I hear a soap-related podcast or interview... I start falling asleep. People forget that the most successful podcasts are very spicy and very on the edge. Make an episode featuring ex-cast mates of the soaps, bitter, crazy bitches that don't have anything more to lose. Show us how some of them are currently working as waitresses and in fast food restaurants, because they can't live on these soap salaries. I don't want the top of the top who earn the money and visit Monte Carlo every year... and have nothing bad to say about their head-writer. Call me a negative bish, but I want to hear something real from time to time. That's just my pet peeve. I am talking in general - I have no illusions that this podcast will be anything close to this. I will be very positively surprised if it's anything interesting.

They must have done some post-processing on the old DVD video transfer... or just did a fresh new transfer, because the quality is really stunning.

Breakfast makes or breaks the day.

This sh-t is disturbing. I mean... by this time... Ridge must have been in Brooke's vagina... thousands of times. The way he is acting like she is this "FRUIT" that he wants to taste again... makes me fear for my sanity. Why couldn't we get some fresh late 30s Hollis type guy that we haven't seen before chasing after Brooke's genitalia?! Why does it have to be Ridge? I am even open to Nick, even though I doubt JW will be back full-time... So Fake Taylor better start packing her bags, because she'll be left at the altar again. That would be what... the 10th or 15th time Ridge leaves her at the altar. EW.

Up to April 8th, 1992. 💀 "The Jerry Springer Show In Llanview turns DEADLY." Wow! They did it, I couldn't believe they would go there after losing so many characters in the past few months. It seems that every single month someone dies. This new regime loves killing people. Well, I will miss Carlo, but I may be the only one, because pretty much the entire town is breathing fresh air after the not-unexpected demise of mobster Carlo Hesser. This is the first huge-umbrella "Who did it?" crime storyline that pretty much dominated the entire narrative. There was hardly anything else other than the murder story, which was fine. I enjoyed it. Like a great mystery-crime novel, it gave us multiple suspects and many many clues that leads us to the wrong person. Agatha Christie-style. Of course it's not Asa, even though they want us to think that. Of course it's not Alex - it will be too easy. It's not Cain Rogan - his bracelet was left at the crime scene, planted by someone. Blair Daimler saw that bracelet falling down in the restaurant. Alex may have seen it too. Is it Julia Medina? Did she throw herself down the stairs in order to hide her crime? Mmm, no. I would not be surprised if the killer is the one we least expect. Maybe it was Carlo's daughter - Charlotte (who wants his money probably)? It has to be the least obvious one. Either that or the most apparent one - Asa. One of my theories is that IF it is Asa... he did it in a drunken rage... left the scene, but didn't know he was followed by Blair Daimler who saw him kill Carlo and then planted the Cain Rogan bracelet so that she can then blackmail Asa and make him her slave... like she did with Dorian. That would explain that bracelet ending up at the crime scene. But it would be too far-fetched. Don't tell me! I'm so obsessed with this right now, I can't wait till it's night-time, so I can continue. 🔷 The only OTHER storyline that we got some movement on... was Leanne and Jason - they were close to kissing. Leanne stopped it by saying "I have a husband!" to which Jason replied - "And another man's baby!" LOL. Leanne of course had a quick meltdown and stormed out. A part of me is feeling like these two are end-game. I won't be opposed to it. 🔷 Overall - 10+ I rarely enjoy these types of "Who killed X-person" storylines - to me they are very boring and don't lead to any character development. But in this case, it's really fun and entertaining. Clip of the day - In this episode of "The Jerry Springer Show" we have a drunken husband on the verge of insanity, his wife - a woman he calls "tramp" in public and her alleged "lover" - the town's mob boss with a heart of gold! Don't miss this episode! It's the mess we all want to see while we dine out! tramp_edit.mp4

You've got to be kidding me. This is a parody at this point.

Shout Tv have better quality than the DVD-rips we already have. Or youtube. Comparison. DVD-version SHOUT-TV

Blair meets Dorian for the very first time. The beginning of the war.

Thank you for the clips @DRW50 I saw some of these scenes while I was updating myself with previous Alex Olanov/Bo/Cassie content couple of months ago (My regular viewing starts with mid October 1991, but I've seen most of the Alex scenes from 1991, just hers and Bo). I love the actress that plays Duanne! Really creepy lady (the character) - you can't forget that voice. Gives me the creeps. About Julia Medina - I still don't have much of an opinion, she is quite new to me, even though I know she shot Duanne. So far... even before anything has happened to Carlo, I'm already suspecting her. Why did they bring her back? Maybe she's faking her paralysis and secretly walking around plotting Carlo's murder. She has already killed once, so why not do it again. 💀

Up to April 2, 1992. 📖 "Asa Buchanan or the Texas Othello." It was another sleepless night here in Germany. I just couldn't stop. The show is firing on all cylinders right now. Compared to when I started in October 1991... it has improved so much, that I'm getting scared that this will not last. I've gotten used to this. Brava Michael Malone! 🔷 So what is happening right now? Leanne and Jason bonded while reading together. I can't remember another soap where I've seen such a storyline. It's so unique. To have the show's rebel character be so multi-dimensional, so troubled, yet so original and unforgettable. It reminds me of the French movie - "La Cérémonie" starring Isabelle Huppert, where one of the main characters (working as a maid) couldn't read and kept that a secret. 🔷 Blair got what she wanted, Dorian made her Editor in Chief of "The Intruder". But that is only the beginning. Now Dorian has even more reason to get rid of the parasite "intruding" life. It's not a happy period for Dorian who is also suffering from her break-up with Jason. She finally confessed her feelings to Cassie and admitted that she wants Jason as something more than a boy-toy. I like Dorian and Jason together, they are not typical and have crazy chemistry. I hope we haven't seen the last of them. 🔷 Bo is the biggest disappointment of the year! What did he do after Cassie gave him the ultimatum? He betrayed her by sleeping with his ex-wife. Then Sarah... miraculously recovered her lost memory and remembered that she saw Carlo Hesser kill an agent called "Scarecrow" - it can't all be perfect, so I'm giving the show a huge MINUS for the way they did this. It was just too easy and convenient for Sarah to remember all of this post-coitus. But I'm not that mad about it. All of this is leading to something, which I'm pretty sure I know what it is. 🔷 Someone is about to do something to Carlo Hesser. Shoot him, slit his throat, push him down the stairs, who knows. The show has build all of this up and given us plenty of suspects. So many people... at the same time... want Carlo dead. We have Sarah who just remembered what Carlo did to her, we have Tina and Cain who want their money and diamonds, we have Julia Medina, who came back just couple of episodes ago... who wants to get her revenge for Carlo trying to murder her (he also threatened to kill her grandson), we also have Alex who is not tolerating living with Carlo very well and just met with her attorney in order to nullify the prenup she signed. We have the district attorney, even, Hank, who wants him gone. It seems that pretty much everyone in town wants him dead. Most of all - ASA Buchanan. And that bring me to the most interesting storyline. 🔷 It's like we are witnessing Shakespeare's Othello happen in real life. Iago (Cain) has done everything he can to destroy Desdemona (Renee) and Othello (Asa)'s marriage. He has put all the seeds of doubt and turned them against each-other. Asa is now completely out of control, terrorizing Renee and threatening to kill Carlo Hesser. And if we follow Othello to the end... it means that Asa will probably shoot someone (which I doubt will happen). Overall this storyline works perfectly - it's incredibly well written, somewhat cliche, yet done with style and substance and wonderfully acted. Overall - 10/10!!! (with a little minus for the Bo and Sarah stuff) Clip of the day - Renee breaking down after Asa torments her and accuses her of cheating. That's the kind of melodrama I watch soaps for. It's just beyond entertaining. sssssssssssssssssssss.mp4

I would love if they invite Krista Allen and Hunter Tylo. Together if possible. Brad Bell will probably need to hire an excorcist.

Thanks. What a strange interview. Almost doesn't sound like her at all. Nothing bad of course, great message. Just lacks the usual KKL vibe. But I get it's the type of magazine too. Love that it didn't have even one word about Bold or Brooke. Brad doesn't deserve any promo. Since he is not using Brooke appropriately.

Well... Why not.
