   Until Josh Griffith came back, Sharon hadn't had anything to do with Adam for years.  Sharon and Justin Hartley's Adam NEVER acted like they were obsessed like now.   

I always found this annoying. Like viewers forgot she had nothing to do with that Adam and now they can’t stay out of each other’s orbit. 
I wanted to like Rey with Sharon he’s been rather dull. I think the Rosales family could have been written better instead of all in and now almost all out.

Zoe sobbing in Carter’s room (still in that HIDEOUS pink serpent dress) with Quinn cowering under the bed. Classic campy B&B.

I loved it! Not sure why Carter let Zoe go on and on though when she was the one who made a play for Zende and was ready to sleep with him behind Carter’s back.

How is Rey selfish?  And he told Sharon that he was considering Chelsea a suspect because of her suspicious behavior / recovery.

Adam’s giving Rey’s stepdaughter a lifesaving kidney and all Rey cares about is arresting him right after. It boils down to Rey’s jealousy and insecurity.

Rey has become such a selfish jerk! And how does he not realize it was cuckoo for coco puffs Chelsea that poisoned him? He’s not all that smart these days.

This man should be on every day versus Liam!

This !

I’ve fast forwarded countless episodes of Liam begging Hope for forgiveness. He slept with Steffy, he may have fathered a baby out of wedlock, he didn’t make their flight to Catalina, he ate the last vegan McNugget.....etc 

I’ve earned this!

I mean, he did have her kidnapped and imprisoned…

Yeah if you want to get picky. Chelsea’s done a lot herself. She raped Billy, she’s a con...etc Her and Adam were decent together at one time but the sun has set on their day in the sun.

Is Lily Winters a businesswoman or a call girl? It's hard to tell these days. When did her character become such a trollop? The man is supposed to do the wooing, not the woman. Lily is just insecure and frightened to death of Victoria. That's why she always goes out of her way to impress a man who doesn't deserve her in the first place.  

I find it opposite  I think Victoria is the one scared of Lily.  All she has is her job and fighting for attention from daddy. Lily is a  young successful woman with a handsome lover.

I do too!.

I like Adam as well and think the actor is easy on the eyes and does a good portrayal. What I haven’t liked is Chelsea in her diarrhea colored track suit for months plotting against him when he hasn’t  really done anything terribly Adamish in a long time. 
At this point I am ready for him to become Sharon’s new lover. I wanted to love Rey but their love is too new to be this stale. 
Victor, your brought Chelsea Lawson here to destroy Billy Boy so you need to take some responsibility!

Why does Faith need a kidney? How would planning Summers stupid 2nd (or 3rd?)wedding to Kyle help cheer her up? 

I like Karla Mosley as Amanda!

Ah, Roger Thorpe. They don’t conceive characters as layered and complex as that anymore. And yes, I know Michael Zaslow was a huge part of that. Current soaps write shallow ‘types’ for what I think they feel is a dumber, less engaged viewer.

Oh Roger Thorpe, Alan Spaulding, James Warwick.... I miss the villainous men of yesteryear.

Zoe looks a mess with that three-headed serpent dress btw.

I’m just seeing the dress now. Holy ugly!

What a good idea for Quinn to tell Shauna she had sex with Carter. 
Why doesn’t Quinn just give Eric an old fashioned blow j? It could bridge the gap.

I only watched the first segment, and they were smiling and giggling like they were in love and didn’t have a care in the world. Did that progress to *any* kind of remorse or regret?

Yes. They both expressed guilt. She felt bad and said she couldn’t believe she cheated and he mentioned Eric being like a father and Ridge a close friend. She told him he should get back with Zoe as a coverup. 
Then their passion got the best of them and they started to make love again.

I had to lol at Liam practically fainting at the Vinny montage. 
Quinn and Carter are sizzlin! 

I haven’t watched Fridays episode yet but I’m excited to have Quinn back on. It’s my understanding that John McCook is semi retired so breaking Eric and Quinn up makes sense.  I loved LSV on Guiding Light. I would much rather have him be front and center for the long haul vs this constant Liam drivel week after week, year after year. For the love of god who cares about Hope in her Little House on the Prairie dress and Brookes opinion about her a Liam?

I have been banned from another board for being too “mean” about Stanford and Hunter King. There was a divide during the Lola vs Summer time period and people got worked up about it and they came down on the anti Phyllis people. I don’t see what’s terrible about criticizing an actress that dominates a show. But if it’s not allowed here I can tone it down. I like being able to discuss the soap since almost nobody in my personal life watches anymore. 
Something I find extra irritating are the constant scenes in a hotel lobby that doesn’t look the least bit luxurious. I know that’s no fault of the actors. Watching the classics last year shows how everything from cast to sets were downsized. In the old days it seemed like the entire cast would go to a wedding. Abby and Chance had a living room wedding (at least we got Nina back) and the joke of a honeymoon room. Then they disappeared him yet pushed forward with a baby story. I know the tiny budgets are just how it is now. My feeling is why waste what dollars they do have on an obnoxious character like Phyllis?

Eric referenced taking the "little blue pill" when he was married to Donna.  I don't think you just recover from ED by getting older.

Thanks, I forgot about that.

I have said as soon as this story leaked that I was hoping they'd go there. It is realistic enough and it provides some motive for Quinn to stray instead of the random irresistible attractions grown adults supposedly can't fight that Bell usually writes

Agree, would rather see something along those lines and not “I was horny because he had his shirt off”

I am with you. I was fine with Phyllis, warts and all, when GT was playing her.

But Phyllis' personality coupled with MS's, hum, idiosyncracies and my tolerance level goes way down.
That being said, she is part of the canvas and, while I think she has been used horribly the past few years, she belongs on the show.
But I'll be damned if her out-of-nowhere vendetta against Sally is not extremely unsympathetic. It rings hollow when she acts as if she is superior to Sally, considering how much worse she has done, but at least hypocrisy is part of the characters. Hearing fans whitewash her past is more puzzling to me: it is OK to like her but she is still a piece of work!

I found Phyllis much more tolerable when GT played her. Prior to Phyllis going into coma land, I don’t remember hating her so much and I found the stories more entertaining. I find nothing entertaining about her storylines at present time.

I hate how Phyllis acts so relaxed and cavalier after she practically ruined another woman's life.  She really is a psychopath. 

Agree. I wish Cricket would run Phyllis down with her car, kill her and drive away laughing.  I am so over the over sexed old bat dropping her stank drawers for Nick, her one bony shoulder poking out and her whispering. 
I don’t love to hate her, I just hate her. 
 

I sort of like Ashland Locke but they went a bit overboard with the Jabot stuff. Kyle comes across like a kid. Why didn’t they bring back Blake Hood? He was more age appropriate and could portray an adult man instead of a man-boy. 

I think a Carter/Quinn fling could make me tune in more often. Is Eric withholding the dick as punishment or is he having some impotence issues and doesn’t want to admit it? They can make this a decent story if they choose.

For once could Liam not be long suffering and sweating Hope over something that he has control over? 

Oh Liam. Will we ever get a break from him?
I’d rather watch Detective Baker have a love interest.

I love me some Lauren but had to laugh at her lecturing Sally and Summer on women treating women well. Send them an ice cream sundae why don’t you Lauren?

Good lort we are never going to get a break from Liam are we? I love me some Dollar Bill and Don Diamont ever since Brad was the pool boy in a cage on the Young and Restless but this is beyond silly. 
I really think DDs talents would be better on Young and Restless. Bill Spencer would fit in better in GC IMO.

I just hope they use her more now, She's had two appearances, Her actress looks like she could really be Mishaels sister and the character is fiery.

Agree, the show could use someone new with some pep in her step.

Sharon case is usually solid, but she’s been acting more like an airhead actress the past few years at times. Almost comical like MS.  Could be the writing or her acting choices trying to keep up with the faster pace and vibe of the writers. 

I still love Sharon Case and think it’s the writing more than her acting. In no way is she like the cartoon character that Phyllis has morphed into.

Alvia Lynd is doing a good job with the bullying storyline. I felt bad for poor Faith.

Why are they pushing this Flo character? She is super dull and the last thing the show needs is another Logan. 
The only recent highlight of the show was Steffy taking down the picture of her and Waffle. 

“It’s embryo transplant day” is not a good way to start a soap episode. Sorry not interested. 

It would be wonderful if someone challenged Jack.  He can tell them that men of his means can date a young hottie. That would shut up Phyllis at least for a minute. 

is Rey dying? The last episode I watched he didn’t feel good and now he’s in the hospital.

Brooke should want her daughter to be strong and rid herself of a waffling man like Liam.  Please give viewers a much needed Liam break.
