I never believed I would see an acting equivalent of Brad's writing... And here comes the Morrow guy. Hahaaaaaaaaa

All I can say is that while I was minding my business and scrolling on tiktok I suddenly saw the video of it... Without consenting to watch something like this. I am just giving heads up for people to be careful while you browse on TikTok or social media right now. I think it will take them time to remove these videos. The AI that should be detecting how inappropriate this is to be on the platform is clearly not doing its job. So disturbing. What kind of world do we live in where I would see this kind of thing while I am scrolling through cats and dogs and Mariah Carey clips. I think I've had enough of the internet for today.

That's what I pay my taxes for! ❤️

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.

Me too.

Leanne and Jason took Demerest and they are trying to run off! I'm shook. Just finished a huge OLTL binge. The show is so addicting at this moment that I don't know if I shall not continue well into the night. I have a feeling this will end in disaster. I hope nothing bad happens to the baby.

Just 2 more weeks to her book. I can't wait. I'm counting the days.

Posted in another topic to answer a member's request. Brooke's mugshot from 1996.

I think this fits your criteria. I had to do some serious digging in my collection to find this scene. Enjoy. Context - Brooke is arrested and booked for "kidnapping" her own children after she lost custody. This was organized by Stephanie. One of Brooke's hardest days. 😂 Episode - 2305. Or June 4th 1996. ffffff.mp4

Hollis should have been that outside help for Brooke. That man was capable of so much. 🤣❤️ For Taylor I think the only cure would be a long stay at a mental health institution. I don't think she can afford to risk another broken heart syndrome episode.

Saw the new (from last night) Hunter Tylo podcast in 2.0 speed. The only thing that struck me as interesting was that she revealed she in the process of writing a new memoir that she promised will be unfiltered. 🤣 I won't lie... I may buy it if it comes out. I'm known to enjoy stuff like this.

I feel exactly the same.

Up to August 13th, 1992. "You can't escape karma." Wow, the show is firing on all cylinders! Let's dive back into the drama. 🔷 I'll start once again with the big stuff. After a very heated court battle, where all of Leanne's past mistakes and character flaws were aired out... she lost her cool and went into full-blown meltdown in front of the entire court... She did what she does best - she bit herself in the leg and showed the judge complete lack of self control. We are left in the final moments where the judge is announcing his decision. I don't want to tell you what I want to happen, because I don't want to sound cold. But being raised by an incompetent mother myself... I would hate to see Demerest suffer more. 🔷 Cain is back to the old Thomas Ripley manipulator-instigator mode. The cartoon stuff is gone for now and he is continuing his old game - trying to win Asa's graces and in the process - destroy Blair's position. The battle of the foxes resumes. After a somewhat threatening conversation with Blair, he masterfully put the seed of doubt in Asa's mind about who leaked information to Max (that Asa was about to buy his land). Asa instantly blamed Blair who had to lie through her teeth and be as convincing as possible. Just like she does in their bedroom, she had not trouble faking it this time either. God I love Blair. 🔷 In one of the most powerful scenes so far in the show, Victoria tried to connect with Marty and make her confess to her part in spreading the lie about Andrew. This, ladies and gentlemen... is a masterclass of how an empathetic person can still manipulate someone in order to achieve their goals. Victoria was handling Marty with velvet gloves, dosing every single word, diving into her mind and her soul. For now... however... her effort seems fruitless. Modern social media users would call Victoria a "dark empath" in this moment - the only real adversary to the narcissist. 🔷 Dorian Lord visited her old lover Jason in the Buchanan Palace restaurant. She was like a predator sniffing for emotional carrion. She wanted to know how he and his young fiancé are doing... and then she sinisterly remarked that happiness is not possible without money and power. Something she can give him. And something he will soon find out if he goes to the court hearing for Demerest. Three Bloody Marys later and Dorian was making a spectacle of Cassie and Reverend Andrew's relationship. Love a drunk Dorian. 🔷 Victoria and Sloan had their first "fight" if you could even describe it like that. The topic was once again his son Andrew. Sloan was irritated that Victoria wrote an article about the protest and the right to privacy, and she called him a "fool" for the way he was acting and treating his son. It was a veeeery good touch to have this scene, so that their relationship doesn't appear one-note. That way the potential love affair will have even more blood and power to it. Overall - 10/10 - these 2 episodes took my breath away. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clip of the day Victoria and Marty talk.

Great to see everyone and I hope everyone is doing well.

I think your insightful commentaries are even better than a kidney. ❤️ I plan to start the show tonight with my husband. I LOVE Mia Farrow, so I'm excited. 😊

That would be great. I still don't understand why Bradley Bell has declawed Brooke and given her nothing but beg Ridge or crying about Hope for the past 5 years. KKL still looks as hot as ever and could still rock a scandal or two if given the chance. Hope as the seductress (the attempt to turn her into Brooke) was a huge mistake and backfired given the character's history. I would hate to see Brooke remembered as this boring woman who just constantly stood there and took it, even if it's perceived by some as her maturing or being tactful. Maybe I'm not being objective, but I believe Bradley is not capable of writing maturity. IMO, Brooke should have never let go after they made her CEO. That was the moment when Ridge betrayed her with Taylor, she slapped him and pushed Taylor out the door. We all remember that. It was the best episode of the show in 5 years. That was THE MOMENT all of us were waiting for. She then... had to completely take over the company and start a vicious campaign against Ridge and Taylor old-school style. She should have channeled her 1993 bitterness and vindictiveness. They lost that chance and instead turned it to Brooke crying for 3 months about how she wants to return the company to Ridge (while he is penetrating Taylor). So disappointing. All of this could have been a new chapter for Brooke, an era to re-invent the character, but No... Bradley stuck to the tired cliches.

I agree. I wanted this (Dangerous Single White Female Taylor) the moment I heard from AMC fans that Budig could play bad girl very well. I think they could lean into that right now... especially if they don't want to write her off. The current situation is just too sad for her. I almost teared up when she was sobbing and saying "I knew this would happen." Even through the bad writing, Budig managed to make me feel something. I really still can't believe this "engagement" was broken off so fast. IMO this feels like a rewrite. But we'll see.

She looks absolutely amazing. WOW.

What doesn't surprise me is timing. It seems to me the writers are trying to find a way to free Victoria up for Sloan. But... at the same time I don't think (in that regard) Sloan is much different. He has been hiding his son's "condition" and feels incredibly ashamed that he was gay. I don't know if they will go there with Viki and Sloan, but it seems they needed something to put a real wedge between her and Clint. Oh, sounds like a bad situation. I never knew this.
