No, making Courtney the murderer seemed very stupid. They pointed everything at David. I do not know what happened, but tacking on the Courtney did it seemed very contrived and nothing more than a stupid way to get rid of her. Honestly, she could have just said, I'm moving back to the East coast. That would have been fine. Yes, Julia had awful taste in men. As charming as Jack Lee was, he WAS a cad. Not sure, but there are several pictures from a Facebook group.

I that is 100% classic Mason. He saw a way to have some fun and seized it. Plus, he had been flirting with Julia for years. I mean, old school Mason would never turn down a chance to have sex

Scenes We Would Love to See: CC tells Sophia about Samantha's father. CC pipes up about Mason choosing the boy. Sophia blasts his ass by pointing out that CC forced Mason to protect Eden and that this is what CC asked for. What are some scenes you want to see?

That is true. I do like that I have seen Lane do a few snippets of Shakespeare because of Tori. However, the character is just AHHHH- I want to smack her. I just saw the episode where she finds out about the baby contract, and she screeches Mason you're disgusting! And I'm like uh- you're a rapist, so are you really wanting to say, I'm not good enough for you. I think perhaps people hadn't let go of Augusta, so Caroline never stood a chance. I'm really not enjoying the mystery illness, fever, virus with the special serum storyline. Maybe because of well, you know...

She should have been hated as much as the audience hated her. Someone in production must have really LOVED her, because they certainly kept trying to get US to love her.

I really think the character had potential. Especially if Augusta came back. And I really loved excited Alice. Didn't like cynical Alice as much. Am getting very tired of Ted and Hayley's endless fighting. Right now, I'm here for Julia. And the occasional glimpses of Sophia.

And I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I DO like Caroline. And Lionel must have really loved her because he stayed with her and didn't rush immediately to Sophia when Eden "died" in Utah.

I haven't seen much of either of them. I do think McArthur wasn't given much of a chance by the audience though. Robin Wright left huge shoes to fill. Carrington wasn't immediately after, so I feel like it was easier for her to make it her own.

I'm not sure, but it might have been that she was so universally hated that they finally let her go. Or the actress got tired of the hate mail.

I take back anything kind I ever said about Tori. She is awful. Gee, Tori, maybe if you were nicer to Mason, he might be capable of loving you. But no, you are a shrew. Harping at Mason about every. Little. Thing. Ugh! Did I mention that she is awful?

Sophia in black. Lionel face down on the floor. Cruz on floor. Mason by lamp, Ted next to him, Channing boyfriend between Kelly and Ted, Eden and CC on the couch, bald guy is Marcello, Augusta (looks like Louise Sorel) then Warren on the end. Santana behind Cruz.(Although Mason,,Ted and BF) might be in a different order. Completely blanking on bfs name

I know what scene this is

That's pretty cool. But I'm not sure my brain could handle it without constantly thinking, "That's not how Lane said it." Although, to be fair, the early CC/Santana abomination might be better with different, less icky, actors And also, for the record, most Americans DO NOT LIVE LIKE THE CAPWELLS. I do not have a mansion, fly in a helicopter. I've also never tried to pass my baby off as someone else's. And- I just watched Julia try to assemble a crib while she was wearing a dress. I would never do that. Sweats pants and baggy shirts are proper "assemble a crib" attire.

Yeah, words CAN NOT describe how much I do not care about Tori. She just has that annoying wounded duck face all of the time and I want to smack it. I can't even say it isn't her fault that she's in this situation. She didn't HAVE to rape Cruz. She didn't HAVE to come back to Santa Barbara. She didn't HAVE to not take more acting jobs. Newsflash Tori- actress film while pregnant. She didn't HAVE to set her cap on Mason and marry him. I just have no sympathy for her. I felt more sympathy when Mason and Eden were on the docks and she asked if Mason was really the father. And he ran himself through the mud by asking if she ever knew him to be that selfless. Yes, Mason, you are.

A desk in the bathroom? That's a big Nope from me. But then again, keeping work clothes on more than 5 minutes after I get home is also a No, so CLEARLY I was not made to be a soap opera character. Switching from bathroom talk, MAN Nancy Lee Grahn is knocking it out of the park with this pregnancy storyline. You can really feel her hurt that Mason married the drip Torie. And poor Mason too. He's stuck with the drip.

I'm sure Augusta has an en suite bathroom. I know we saw a bathroom when Sophia was planting evidence on Lionel. Also, during at least one champagne bubble bath. Some women have makeup tables that are not in a bathroom, my grandma did. I also want to say that we've seen Lakins restroom. It was off her bedroom.

I mean like seriously- do you really have such little faith in Rosa that you think that Rosa would let the stained carpet stay in that room?

I'm sure they cleaned the rug. They probably even replaced the rug.

I agree about the emotional toll of CCs office. But I really love that room. I'd probably be in there reading most of my life.

I did see it and replied. But THANK YOU!

You would think the patriarchs would get together once in a while to discuss strategies. LOL! Imagine Mac Corey and CC sitting down to have a discussion about women. And, yes, the Capwells needed someplace to sit and relax! Those chairs around the table in the atrium look dreadfully uncomfortable! Or, it's late and we want to cuddle and relax. So, let's sit here on this concrete bench. There, isn't that better? No wonder Sophia sat on CCs lap, it probably had more cushion.

Thank you. Something has gone wonky and I can't see the message

So, you know how there are a dozen or so different Sophia personalities? I like the one that is confident and secure and slaps Keith across his smug face. In fact, I LOVE that one. That's the one I wish we got to see more often.

Today, I got to watch the beginning of the Family Plan, which is one of my favorite stories on the show. Pure perfection from all involved. All the way down to Keith stabbing CC with the stick pin.

This is too funny to not share. And this board might be the only place where I can. I had a dream that I was in an episode of Santa Barbara. The hairstyles were 86-87. For some reason Sophia was in a hospital bed and being transported home to the mansion. CC was mad because Gina was still refusing to leave his house. Well, there is Sophia in that bed next to the fountain and she has the oxygen mask on, but the top of her head- bald. Just the top, like Ben Franklin's receding hairline. The sides were still long and blonde. Ben Franklin hairdo- NOT a good look on Judith McConnell. Anyway, Gina decides that it's time to kick me out, because no one there knows who I am. At this point CC says that this might be the only time he agrees with Gina. So, I start to leave. At this point, Sophia jumps out of bed, and says that she knows me. Her hair is perfect as soon as she pops off the bed. She grabs Gina by the hair and pulls her to the door screaming Get Out! And I woke up thinking, Well that was weird.
