BTG: August 2025 Discussion Thread
I was one of the ones who cried foul when they tried to humanize her immediately after the Eva reveal. But that part of the story should have been Nicole's POV more than SilkPress's. Right now, the only way she can stay around IS if they start to humanize her somewhat. She's been running around a little too long as of late like some cartoon character in spite of TMG's great acting. Right up to the reveal, TMG seem to find any and all moments to humanize her character. Even with the reveal, she still found that throughline in her performance. So it's sad that it seems the character is overwhelming the nuances she was able to find so well earlier. More of that please.

BTG: August 2025 Discussion Thread
Going by online and here, I think it is the minority that would find the truth about Laura's accident coming out anticlimactic. And until it's dealt with to some conclusion, it seems a thing that will be continued to be harped on a la SilkPress is getting away with it. Even if it comes up soon as a way to tie up that plot thread (Due to Kat's interference, it gets thrown out), I think the audience would let it drop. However it popping back up after SilkPress got all that she wants, it would be old school soap villainess comeuppance. That said...I would love for her to take a page from Sami Brady's old handbook and have the ace up her sleeve of finding out about Kenny (if June doesn't first) so she can reverse uno on half the cast. I would be in awe and it would restore the cunning SilkPress had in that first couple of months before she turned into a cartoon. I definitely love the idea of her finding out. We finally have her at a pivot so them writers better run with it if they want to keep the character (and the awesome actress) around.

I'm more curious to see if it's going to be Anita vs SilkPress until November Sweeps when the Laura angle of the SilkPress storyline comes back up and she finally gets her comeuppance and winds up losing all that money.

RIP: In Memoriam Thread
WOW. He definitely had a knack for popping up in movies at the most random moments for me. But he was a master of his domain. Kneel Before Zod is going to hit different. RIP

GH: August 2025 Discussion Thread
Amen. The only times he is currently sparking. They really have. If you would have told me that I would love to hate CM as Drew I would have laughed. But...yes. I really hope he leaves town with his tail between his legs. The murder mystery target has boomeranged over other characters before in recent years so why not one more time. Sez aim it at Sidwell. So do I. It makes me hate hate Drew. He's more interested in his ego than his own child and his ex-wife's wishes. And that still rubs me wrong. I really want Alexis to find a way to get Scout away from him. Where Natasha when you need her?

Oh, yes. All the ways back to his OLTL days. Sometimes it came in handy. Sometimes not. But I'm sure the knowledge is still there if needed. Like me with history knowledge. Ooo really? Then yes, she would be up to date on law as well and it might play into the writing as well.

I Know What You Did Last Summer(2025)
IKR!!! I really was not expecting too much. And I too left with a smile on my face. So unexpected. And I would totally do a rewatch. Bodes well I feel for the Urban Legend reboot.

Project Runway
It did. It's just on Episode 4. And the first night was two episodes. They really pass by really fast. I am living it though Law Roach is definitely doing Janice Dickinson from her ANTM days...a role I used to give to Nina Garcia. She really has mellowed in her older years.

The Madonna Thread
Just wasting space they could give up to fans who know the legend she is. Just smh. I know it's a different generation, but it saddens me that so many people are missing out because they can't get off their phones and live in the moment. They don't even know how to use Google to find anything or use critical thinking anymore.

ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
I expect to finish it today, but so far it is giving that vibe Jordi is talking about and reminding of the superb sci-fi/thriller Coherence in the setting, vibe, and deep concepts. Yeah, he's still in plain sight. I was taken aback, thinking it was someone else at first. Cuz he as part of a buffy muffy gay couple was something I never expected to see. Thank you for the quotes.

ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
Sitting here finally watching the horror/thriller indie movie The Invitation, trying to wrap my head around Jordi Vilasuso playing gay and enjoying seeing Tammy Blanchard.

I Know What You Did Last Summer(2025)
I loved it. Was not expecting to. But I had to go and see it quickly since the latest trend seem to be people spoiling everything 24 hours after a movie officially releases as quick and as loud as possible. Glad I was unspoiled...outside of the post-credit scene and that was teased in interviews anyway. 'Who we going to f@#$ up this time?' can live rent-free in my head. That said...I feel this one will get the same treatment as SCREAM 4 did...which was ahead of its time then and has become more valued as time has gone on. It found it quite meta and liked that the kills were more vicious (though I loathed Act 3) and they balanced the vibe well with seriously for our legacy characters with the Gen Z vibe with the newbies. Not that I liked them, but I didn't hate them, either.

The Madonna Thread
This reminds me of a local band I went to see (cuz one of the members is a DJ and hot AF) and while I loved the music and wanted to dance to it, the majority (a pretty big crowd) were just there...recording with their phones. Not in the moment at all. It bugged me.

I think these are all good questions and makes me want to tune in to see if answers come. Heck, at this point RC is still there so they have a lawyer in the house. I could see that.
