Your lucky day, but tomorrow it [does] change.

@carolineg All clear today, my dear. 🥰

date: Tuesday, October 21, 2025 | Christopher Dunn, Cheryl L. Davis | Steven Williford Not the con artist/child bride meeting up with her 'cuz' to keep up appearances. But Dani and Vanessa know otherwise. How interesting. So, Pamela is the one conversing with Ridge Forrester with the intent of relaunching Dani's modeling career. That is very exciting! So, we are really going to try and poison Bill Hamilton at this point? Good luck, because I do not think it will work. Pamela's positivity and enthusiasm are fantastic. Oh my... not boo-boo the fool. That is hilarious. But good on Dani for not falling for the performance the con artist/child bride continues to put on. Whelp. Joey knows about Randy's involvement (or hanging out with) his 'cuz'. Whoops. I appreciate Dani calling out Vanessa's involvement with Joey, considering she can speak a bit from personal experience where this subject is concerned. Not hooking up with the con artist/child bride. Whew. And I feel like Joey is not buying what Randy is selling. What man goes into a woman's purse? I would never. Even with permission, I would never. Uh-oh. She is about to be caught! And not the 'fraud alert,' oops. Vanessa is coming in HOT HOT HOT! Well, there we have it: Naomi is not pregnant. But why is Jacob coming in as hot as he is? He knew Naomi did not want the baby and knew it was unlikely she would even have it. Like, you cannot have it both ways, sir. Oh, Vanessa is playing it to her advantage and I love that. The gloves are coming off bit by bit. Nothing like a post-sex drugging. OK, Ms con artist has watched Snapped before. Notes: Welcome to Beyond the Gates Thorsten Kaye's Ridge Forrester! And 'in scenes' with Cady McClain's Pamela. It is an All My Children reunion! And it is very nice to see the former Forrester Creations set for the final time. Aw, the autumnal and Halloween-centric decorations at Uptown are very cute. God. Lauren Buglioli (Vanessa) is just magical. Pure talent and a brilliant find by Kim Coleman.

THAT is how soaps are done; right when I was out of Hollyoaks, I am pulled right back in!

Except for his soul patch/chin. It is so bad.

I am sure they will adjust things here and there; they did camera testing prior to shooting, so I am sure things were changed prior to that, as well. I will say the show looks better on Paramount+ and on my 4K television than it does online, which leads me to believe they are shooting in a more 4K-level quality than a studio that was upgraded to accommodate high-definition filming (a.k.a., Television City).

Jean Dadario Burke's exit as executive producer came down to creativity/ratings.

The mixture of fillers and the Maurice Benard level of shoe polish hair is not working for Don Diamont. At all.

Yes, it is very exciting! Cannot wait to watch all the way through for the first time. If only Melrose Place were next.

Oh... that is going to be good. Hahahahaha.

As of today, the 4K UHD remaster is available for digital purchase, as well as streaming on Paramount+.

Errol, I am so thankful you were on the red carpet. Your interviews are always personable and upbeat, which I appreciate. Thank you for sharing your interviews.

As someone who suffers from extreme anxiety, I would say it is.

@carolineg No one to warn you about today. 😁

date: Monday, October 20, 2025 | Jamey Giddens, Judy Tate | Phideaux Xavier The look both Laura and Mona gave Nicole about the previous night with Ted is everything. They are not buying what little Nicole is trying to sell to them. Uh-oh, Vernon is in hot water with Ms Anita. He better tell her the truth if he knows what is good for him. Not Dani calling Dana a homewrecking thot! Whew. Bold language. We love it. Aw, I like how connected Eva and Ted have become. That is the kind of relationship she needs from one of her biological parents, especially since she is not getting it from Dana. The finger point, without breaking eye contact, of Dani pointing out the portrait when Andre tells her the Duprees do not own the country club. That was hilarious. Dani proved her point without stating a word. Both Nicole and Ted are feeling things about their late-night encounter, and it works. They belong together and should not avoid it. Oops... it looks like we have got one-on-ones happening between Andre and Vernon and Dani and Anita. This is going to be interesting. Damn Dana and that fire alarm. Not fair. They were going to rekindle that dimly lit flame. Not Dana wanting to poach everyone at the country club to work for her directly at her 'shouse,' and then acting a fool with her headphones. I would be those other guests, too. Dani is doing her best to sell that she is over her Bill Hamilton era, but Anita is absolutely not buying what her youngest is selling. The sheer look of disgust on Eva's face with Dana admitting she pulled the fire alarm was genius. I love that Mona is all for Nicole and Ted reuniting. We love seeing that kind of support. How sweet that despite both of their grievances, Anita and Vernon are supporting this marriage. That is how it should be. Damn. So Nicole really did end it, officially, with Ted. That makes me sad, because they do belong together. But I will be hopeful for a potential reunion! Notes: I could tell from the opening scenes either the writer or writer2 was the breakdown writer for today... and it looks like it is the latter. Whew. We are in for it today, and I do not look forward to it one iota. I continue to appreciate the use of real food in scenes, whether at the country club, Orphey Gene's, or Uptown. It is that touch that really makes it feel real to me. Not to mention, the food does look like domb [dot] com, and I would like that grilled cheese and fries that Eva is not munching on yet. The chemistry between Daphneé Duplaix (Nicole) and Keith D. Robinson (Ted) is beautiful, and I hope we get to see it re-blossom into 2026, because it is a chemistry that cannot be denied.

It is my understanding he has severe anxiety, so I am sure being up in front of a crowd, like that of the Daytime Emmys, is a lot for him. So, I can appreciate and applaud him for continually confronting his anxiety every year like he does.

The new visitor room is nice. A bit... psychward-ish, but nice.
