Sofia knows Leo/Javi have her baby. She was telling Melinda about it on Friday? Whenever Melinda and Sophia were in the hotel room together.

I wonder if it was always the plan for Sasha to leave with Robert/Holly and either Tristian's health cut his and Holly's return short or SM had to complete this arc before leaving. I am probably giving the writing too much credit, but it makes more sense to make Sasha their daughter if the idea was for her to leave with them in the end.

Exactly. In fact, I don't think Leo or Javi even know who Sophia is outside from her being a young pregnant girl. She didn't give out her name or anything.

It's pretty maddening you are even allowed to post about Drake and use a bunch of stolen clips. I know you will tell me it was the worst mistake of your life again, but seriously, anyone with common sense or decency would steer clear of the topic all together. You are lucky the Hogestyn family didn't sue you. The least you could do is stop making fake tributes and stop acting all shocked and dismayed when posters rightfully call you out.

It's just a promo so I have no idea, but I took it as Gwen saying it in almost a joking way. As if it was crazy they were both missing rather than actual concern. I am very curious where they are going with Marlena and her illness issues.

Dimitri was released after a year in Super Max. That's when he sent Leo the letter. I think Gwen is implying that she doesn't know where Dimitri is like he went off the grid or something.

I don't really like singing on soaps either, tbh. It was just a big part of her personality, so it would be nice if she and Lois decided to revive L&B instead of them working at Deception. See, Jane Elliot's personal style is better than Tracy's and it works for Tracy at this stage in her life. Tracy used to wear some matronly business suits back in the day lol. Hopefully, Rena will be back sooner rather than later.

Ha! I actually don't mind that blouse on Setton. It's a little pilgrim-like, but it's a nice color on her. Whatever. Amanda will never change until someone actually tells her to. I am still bummed they took away all of BLQ's singing and musical aspect of her personality because Setton can't sing. Anyhow, is Rena gone now? Will Lois be back?

Lol! I don't watch Y&R enough to know, but I always thought MTS looked pretty put together when I saw her. I don't even think Setton looks like she came out of a thrift shop or looks unkempt. Her hair and makeup usually look great. Her clothes are just ugly and also overly dressy and formal. She comes over and yells at Lulu in a dressy business skirt and long sleeve silk blouse while Alexa Havins is wearing jeans and a t-shirt. It makes Brook Lynn appear much older and matronly. Unless AS is in a fluffy white bathrobe she never dresses casually. Every other woman on the show except maybe Laura and Tracy wear jeans and more laid-back outfits when they aren't working.

I found Sasha likeable, but boring. I wouldn't be surprised if she returned as well. It's so odd she left before she found out Willow was messing with her and Daisy although I am glad I didn't have to see another Sasha is crazy story.

It's spelled Franco, BTW. Don't know if auto correct is tripping you up here lol.

I don't really mind finding the hunks under 30 with a six pack because they are a dime a dozen in Hollywood. But Professor Animal Experimenter does not strike me as being solely focused on fitness in the way that Drew, Jason, Curtis, or even Jax's backgrounds would expect. It's not like iconic characters like Luke, Robert, Alan, or Tony were hitting the gym every night either. Not saying DG's character is iconic, but there was less focus on characters being "hot" at 50 in the 90's whether that's right or wrong. Guza was probably too busy thinking of ways to kill them off.

DG should be able to do whatever he wants if he's comfortable. Not everyone has an amazing 6 pack at 53 lol. Actually, almost no one does. MTS has years on her side (I mean this in a good way). She knows her brand, her styling, and knows the audience doesn't care if she gains 15lbs as long as she serves. She has the confidence these younger girls lack and they shouldn't. But, again, the internet can be very cruel these days.

Lol. DG would have gotten dragged if he showed up in a suit at the pool and now got dragged because he went shirtless. People calling him a vampire and nonsense. Some people are just pale or fair skinned? He's not a ghost or albino or anything. I think wardrobe has a huge sensitivity issue with these actresses and I absolutely get that, but it's still doing a disservice to them by not dressing them properly when they gain a few pounds after having kids or whatever lol. Again, @Contessa Donatella, stop spreading speculation and false rumors. There have been multiple articles where Amanda talks at length about her and her husband's religion and beliefs. She has always practiced Judaism. It doesn't appear that her husband made her join a cult or anything.

I actually get her point to a degree because it's clear she's not as tiny as she was on OLTL and people dragged DG for being pasty and out of shape today, but it's more a distraction than a cover up now. Personally, I would have left the whole modesty/religion/partner situation out of it and just would have tried to find better fitting garments. Because the modesty thing becomes a whole topic now when I probably wouldn't have noticed it that much if she wasn't preaching about respect for her spouse and children.

She wasn't that prudish. I believe it started after she had her children, which is fine, but not right for the role anymore. She's way more conservative than she was on OLTL lol. I totally get priorities change, but wearing a Michael Jackson Bad suit to the Nurses Ball is not a thing lol. Women like Willow, Sasha, Liz, Portia all look professional and fairly modest, but Setton takes to a whole other level.

I mean, I think it keeps JS's job because he should have been dumped a long time ago. But short of killing someone Chase is always in BLQ's corner when there is actual drama to play. Well, Guza loved DZ and JMB so they would of course be front and center. They were a very popular pairing so I don't get it. I will go as far to say that Setton was miscast. Not at first. It sounded great on paper, but her being a practical nun these days makes her just wrong for the part. People's priorities change over time-she shouldn't be guaranteed a life time job because she was good on OLTL 15 years ago.

At this point it feels like JS is the only actor to capitulate and get behind Amanda's demands and beliefs. Chase's only job is to defend Brook Lynn and her stupid actions.

It's all to prop the fake sexy pairing of Brook Lynn/Chase, which isn't where the drama is. That coupling lacks any drama, spice, or intrigue. It's a shame because there isn't really a plan for Dante/Lulu. I guess he will forgive her eventually? Sam's been dead for almost a year. Let's move it along.

It's so odd because you could have dumped Sasha years ago. Frank seemed very devoted to the character. Perhaps to make room for Kelly T.? The Willow/Sasha rivalry could have played out longer. Strange way to end the character, but I won't be losing sleep about it lol. I liked Sasha as well. I didn't love her or anything, but I thought she was just a nice, decent character to have around in a good age range to move her to different stories, but whatever.

The show has tried to make Sasha relevant for years. They finally did and gave her a possible romance and a child with Michael and now they dump her? It's kind of funny actually. Who's going to cook for the Q's? Olivia better get back in the kitchen lol.

Another pasty/fair skinned person chiming in. Self-tanner looks weird on me, so that may be DG's case too. It might look worse than his regular coloring. DG isn't really my type of guy, but he's not grossly out of shape or ugly. He's not CM in his 50's, but who is? If DG is comfortable, I am fine with it. It's honestly better than certain characters dressing in head-to-toe business suits at the pool.

I forgot about the Cassadine connection. Ron's storytelling with the Liesel/Madeline family was just reveal on top of reveals. Someone would be related to someone and then a week or two later it was 'but, wait! There's more!'. Making them Cassadines would have been idiotic, but whatever they did in the end with that group was so confusing and useless. As usual, Ron got way too excited over Donna Mills, Kathleen Gati, and Michelle Stafford to even think about logic. I still maintain Nathan and Chase are the same character and I like Nathan/Maxie more than anything else Maxie got post-Spinelli.

Nathan was not technically Nina's brother but actually Liesel's son. Madeline adopted/raised him.......I think. Yes, Maxie's dead ex. Father of James.

I think it's because Madeline (born Magda-I know) tried to leave Liesel/her family and her life in Switzerland behind and intentionally lost her accent through the years. Nathan and Nina were raised in the states and, well, I don't care about Britt so I don't know about that. I am just going to imagine Kelly T. doing some sort of European accent and be glad I didn't have to hear that😂 Actually, imagining Donna Mills, Michelle Stafford, and Ryan Paevey trying to do accents is the stuff that nightmares are made of as well.
