Yep. The pictures are good enough and I can screen out Leo. But it is just silly how he is still around period.

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A multitasker.

Hahahahahahah!!! THIS. I just saw pictures. PT looked good AF, but...no.

He looked good on there as well. And S3, E5 with the Tribunal gave me X-men Hellfire Club vibe. The time jump BEFORE that, did Dom's face good. WL definitely has grown into his role. No doubt.

That saddens me. The whole cast should be back for Season 2. And she definitely was giving wealth and connections. And French fries. Yeah, I see so much love for NY from you, @Cat, and others. And it will feel weird to see my Countess not on my screen. Because it STILL has buzz on the strength of how much people loved Season 3. I can't believe they won't be back in some form or the other.

Mmmmmmm Jeremy Pope... I am so very happy to see how successful he is becoming. And he's aged oh so well. If you had told me the geek that played Ben Browder's character's close Earth friend on FARSCAPE would turn into this hunk of a man, I would have laughed my butt off. Speaking of LOOKING, just a reminder that Jonathan Groff (and also on OLTL) will be in KNOCK AT THE CABIN which starts this week I believe. That said...mmmm DOM from LOOKING. lol.

YESSIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mmmmmmmmmm WOOF!! Bearded Drew and Dante were a time to be alive (and Chase was bearded, too at that point). Though tbf, who wasn't lusting after some Bearded Drew? At least he is still in the opening that way. lol. Which is a shame because CM seem better suited for KM and/or RH...and had more chemistry with both if I remember correctly. Same. I really loved those scenes. WL tore them (and her) up.

My kind of naughty. MMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm Those boxers though...

WOOF!

BFTD Stories That Stood Out: Y&R Victor and the Takeover. I remember that being such a big deal and well drawn out forever and day. And being annoyed every time Victor would be close to leaving and then...something would stall it. And the fallout was something else. B&B Does Sheila dying and popping up in L.A. count? DAYS I agree with whoever said Will's 2017 return. Not only did he come back...but he had the hots for his boyfriend's first love? If that ain't soapy... GH Brenda Barrett. Cuz...BRENDA. lol. That first return was EVERYTHING and while not dead in her other returns...the same thing happens that happened in that first return...instantly heavily attached to the canvas like she never left. Katherine Bell and the Parapet. Can I mention that? Because it seem like she was dead, dead, dead...until that soapy dramatic Friday cliffhanger when she came into the court the spinning image of her savior Helena. The looks. The fashion. The music. It was PERFECTION. She got a little TOO big for her breeches, but it was still in her character to be that way. OLTL I liked the Tale of Two Todds. Though I did prefer Victor to Todd by the end. But crazy as it sounded and camp it had, I liked it then. Speaking of... Marty's return in the form of Susan Haskell. The story might have been messy and I would probably feel different about it now if I rewatched it, but it was soap. And while the writing might have let me down, SH stayed fascinating to watch from story to story. And I liked that even though they wrote her wrong at the end, there was an attempt at least to course correct.

I knew he was engaged, but wow.

He's Adam Reynolds from the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

So the reunion REALLY is going to be a bloodbath.

It was love at first sight...sorry though he's short. 😜 Second week of February needs to hurry up and get here. hehe.

Oh, really???

Okay. I see what you mean.

I wasn't a regular viewer during Eric/Quinn and Quinn/Carter, but it sounded like with Eric/Quinn it was a well timed, not sloppy, plot twist. At least from reading about it. Quinn/Carter...didn't they interact a little bit over time and the writers noticed a spark and wrote it in so it was semi-gradual. From what I read. Because this Bill/Sheila was definitely abrupt vs they should have showed a subtle scene here and there and then went in for the plot twist. I agree with you that Sheila has mentioned resources before. I could see her meaning this as well. Could this have been a long game? hmmmm

I would say the same. I remember not caring for Megan myself, but by the time she left, I was invested...a sign of great writing. Either could have come back under other writing regimes and still had some connection to the canvas I felt and the audience would have liked to see them. But yeah...their dad was the weak link. And even I was like...Jill...really?? I didn't even realize he had died during Tricia's madness storyline until a year or so ago. And I felt nothing for him outside of Tricia's reaction and feelings.

OMG! Mary really was. As a tween to teenager to YA growing up, I lived for when Paul would get a new woman because YOU KNEW shade was coming her way when Mary met her. Poor Isabella lol. I know Genoa City isn't in the South but she was such a Southern woman with her nice nasty. But you are right. She did live such a clean life. I know she would driven Gloria even more crazy than the Abbotts. No doubt.

Well, there's still Riri. And alll of them bubbles...which by that point rugby sessions will have started again so I have NO complaints.

1-27 I find it weird that since this week's promo had to do with Willow, there really was so little of her storyline this past week except for Thursday and Friday with the donor twist. However, let me give some credit where credit is due. I was wondering where Ms. Wu was and what was going on with the story with Gladys. And I remember last week when Cody and Sasha were bonding that he mentioned Gladys, but it sounded like he knew her from the past...not because she had finally took Ms. Wu up on her offer to play some games. I should have connected that then since the gambling storyline had vanished for the last few weeks. I thought it was clever how it tied back in. And I wonder what Ms. Wu's motivation is...is her eye on more stock or money laundering through Deception by using Sasha's guardianship? Hmmm. Also clever was the unexpected climax of the Where's Lucy storyline? It's been C plot for a month or so now. And I was thinking these little scenes with Anna, Valentin, and the Blonde was to keep us in the loop until they run out of filming. But it was really about waiting for that moment when Anna punched that trick. I knew it was coming from the moment that Blonde flirted with Val and turned out to be double crossing them. lol. While there was hint of budget restrictions (cuz we were not about to see a whole water cave in), it did not take me out of the scene completely. If anything this whole thing made me think 'if this was DAYS, they would have been in the same room' lol. And now LAURA is in on this??? AND ALEXIS??? OOooo...looks like Victor is finally heading for that fall. I see what you all were talking about with Carly. I cannot believe Michael and everyone else just forgave her in a matter of days. Yet Nina is in the wrong? And she looks like she's about to give good bitca anyway...something CW knows how to do. And you know what? I'm here for it. Carly vs Nina has been too dormant and it's time for a female rivalry to spark off. I'm sorry. I giggled at Trina being out of the loop with her BFF. Joss is that selfish huh? This whole week definitely had the feel of the start of February Sweeps to it. All these storylines out there and this week touched on most of them and felt nicely paced. So much so it was only slightly jarring to me when Thursday came around and focused on Willow. I am hoping that since it felt like the writers found rhythm and momentum that they are going to do what I'm hoping for and have all these stories converge and/or climax. And I see we are focusing on the wedding next week so nice place to start.

Yeah...OLTL's Buchanans came to mind for me as well. Recently...besides the Rosales on Y&R, I would say the Benedicts as well and they came in with potential. Exactly! This. It's funny that so many writers will introduce families, but not take the time to do it in a way where the audiences like them as much as the writers apparently seem to. You know I love you, but does it count if characters from said family are still around vs just...gone? And I felt like the Dennisons were introduced gradually enough that they were successful versus a family introduced one year and then the next...gone. I felt like their dad was around for a while. Tricia was kinda major, but I remember they did Megan the old school way of gradually showing her before she got major story and eventually the audience cared about her. And goodness knows Tricia's madness was over YEARS. I vaguely remember some hate at first, but did it stay around the first introductions?

NY Oh, no!!! I know there are a lot of old school NY fans here so I hope this isn't true... NJ Well looks like no catch up for me...it has already been moved off my system. OC it is! lol.
