Sidenote...THE TASTE.

Ewwww don't even put that out there for Carly!!! But...wow. Two years. You are not wrong. I guess that really was Sonny's last big story, isn't it? Jason has been the one of the three that has truly had a renaissance and I have loved just about every minute of it outside of Britt...and I say that as a fan. Carly and Brennan could have been something IMHO...and yes, I know I am in the minority. But the pairing really died when the ALIAS storyline started. And even that...Carly can still be used in so many places more than Sonny. Which is why I don't mind your six month off suggestion with a certain brunette. ;)

Same. And goodness knows I've had my issues.

While I've been enjoying them exploring the various angles of the Anita's Cancer story, I have to agree. Which is why I was glad for yesterday's episode using Joey vs SilkPress as a counterpoint. They have to be so careful with such a heavy story to have other stories going on. Perferably lighter. The last thing we need is B&B-Lite where the focus is just on the one story (note...BTG is so much better at their one story). HEY, FRIEND! ;)

Good to hear. I miss talking to you in the Y&R Thread. Thank you! I want Bill/Dani/Andre for all that it's worth. There have been some hints of slanted writing...cuz when has Andre being THIS insecure...so great to see that balanced back out. I want an even playing field. Sorry, MVJ. IKR! Since Season 2 has begun, it has been a well-oiled machine and things are moving again. Fashion is still on point. And there have been moments when production just shines through. I'm still thinking about that camera angle that slid into the Bill office scene where Hayley was sitting in her red dress, giving straight villainess. LOVE. HA

Which means they are writing it right. ;) But seriously...in hindsight, it does make sense that Dani and Bill were drawn to each other. After all when Bill had his stroke, Dani moved with the quickness...AND was the only one he listened to. It really does track. I just don't like how Bill talks to her when he knows she's married. She didn't do that to him when he was in the hospital. The wackiness of RC! lol. But I agree. Effective. Nice to see him jelling with Lynn Martin cuz I usually find their episodes meh.

lol. oh you.

Speak on it. And...they are not allowed to exist on canvas. Well tbf, Brennan snatched the position from Frisco.

And Nene's return begins...

Well, it doesn't help when the writers themselves are too bias to see what is in front of them. Carly is definitely at her best with a rival. Especially current Carly. And out of everyone...she has her picks from Ava to her most recent one which was with Nina and which still has legs even now if they would write to it.

So you are living the dream. ;P

Great minds... Fingers crossed.

HAHAHAA!!! So that is what that picture the other day was about. She really does not love that man. I love Unhinged Willow.

Don't tell Dani that. ;P

Double post.

The rewrite (even when we heard it onscreen) strikes again!

1-13 Now that I'm done using the app (bad form, CBS, not loading up the episode on my system when I see 1-14 RIGHT THERE)...that was another good episode, too. You know that I have to start with my favorite character. That's right...NICOLE. I loved her having the meltdown. And as I thought...they are going to take their time with this triangle (sorry, folks!). And for the triangle to even work, they have to build up the sides. Which for now is Carlton and Nicole (sorry, folks!). Which I thought it was a good showing. When he was talking about his history with her months ago, he sounded like Nicole was the one who got away. Naturally, he wouldn't take advantage of Drunk Nicole. Good. If they are going to do a triangle, I don't want Carlton going psycho yet. And if he does, I want it to be organic. A good showing. Another good showing was Anita showing up during sexy time between Dani and Andre. I continue to see the undercurrent of tension between her and Vernon which is good to keep the main story alive. However, as much as I loved the Anita/Dani scene...I just have to get this off my chest. When the show started, there were hints of the relationship between Anita and Dani being more prickly. And there have been heres and theres. And now it just seems gone. And I'm sad for that because I found it intriguing. Now that I FINALLY got to see Grayson. I liked him. And woooow it honestly looked like the Ashley I liked from the first episode was back. There was some chemistry, there was NO (or very little) of a neurotic Carrie Bradshaw coming off Ashley, and I look forward to more. Ooooo so now we see how Naomi is going to be moving forward. Just like her grandmother and her father, rather than deal head on, Naomi is just going to try to avoid as best as possible and wall the feelings in. That organic trait could totally grow into a good story for her and Jacob in time. And I loved Jacob's father was there for him for once. I did like the Vernon/Andre scene. But I do wonder if something is coming with all of this talk about the Dupree women.

Hahahaha

And it was good fun, too.

lol

Now you know they won't do that. smh. Well she has Val. ;) But that's what I've been saying for a while. Of the big three, Jason is the one who still has mileage to be used. Carly would be 2nd. And Sonny dead (pun unintended) last. And Carly hasn't been used for much outside of Brennan in a while. Which is odd given her own connections.

I know you are being careful due to the subject matter, but last week was pretty good and so far this week is looking in the same vein. There wasn't too much of her last week though so I guess they are making up for it this week. Her trifling tail was hilarious. And her talking to herself (the tv screen) was giving me flashes.

I meant to say that it's funny you used tribe because that came up here in my quarters among friends as of late.

So cool!!! So they can run the show for a while. :)

It made perfect sense. It's something that I believe in myself. Just looking at the various people that I've been attractive to. There have just been too many people in my life who I never thought of them as anything when I met them or just a friend. But being around long enough and time passes and well...things happen. Your comment honestly made me think of a coworker who wanted me at random (?) to judge his strengths and weaknesses as a coworker. I found it odd given the circumstances, but I've always have had great observational skills and have trained several people in various jobs so I feel that I am good at pointing such things out. For him...I felt he is very personable with the guests...even when other coworkers or even myself might find him slow...and that can go a loooong way to people having a good experience and wanting to come back. His weakness is his lack of self-awareness. In this case, a LOT of information is thrown his way and his memory is not the best. I personally suspect its due to outside factors (from again observations of him alone, him and his relationship with his mother who I work with, loose bits of info+ public interaction), but I've had given him strong tips as best I can so he could grow in that department. But horse, water, drink. :) But that's me speaking professionally. Personally...I have a crush. I'm too professional to pursue such a thing, but I am self-aware to pick up on it within myself. But a lot of the qualities you mentioned above is what I've noticed in him as I got to know him. I also notice he has such low self-esteem about it and found it maddeningly. Cuz if he didn't have that, I feel he could go far professionally and personally. I got the impression before we both did major schedule changes that the feeling might have been mutual because he would ramble on about things that made no sense...as if he was trying to say something without actually saying something. Which took me aback. If I had time...which I never do at work...I would love to sit down and just...talk. And he loves to talk. But I just feel that is a boundary I should not cross. And while I see a lot of good qualities in my coworker, I also feel there's still a long of growing up and learning about yourself there to do. I'm still growing, but I would be perhaps too far ahead in my own self-development. It probably why I love that Scott resonated with his vulnerability with Kip even though he was soooo scared to voice how he felt and did it anyway. But to be fair, I've done that before, too. Okay now I'm rambling. Like others, I loved what you said. Awww those most definitely were the days. I liked Claire Labine then, but I feel that if I was to sit down and watch her now I would just love her. All I have are my memories of that time (Luke and Laura came back and it became Must See for my mother so I slowly started to follow along; OLTL became my favorite ABC soap). As for William Bell, just a masterclass to me. People talk slow it, but he always had layers going on with his characters which was something I noticed and liked even when I was young. Amen.
