I think the retcon where Britt was given a drug to create Huntington's symptoms so that she'll agree to die and work on Faison's project. Next. So Cassius has turned out to not be the evil twin: he saved Rocco, works for Sidwell/Cullom for Britt's meds, is the only one giving Dante/Lulu good advise about getting Rocco out of town and is keeping Joss alive. I do wonder they scrapped the Cass/Lulu abruptly. Is it really because of they see potential in J-ass?

$B with the best line of May Sweeps: 'Don't you have an appointment to go wax something, Donna?'

Brooke taking the high road is a contrived plot point: Steffy will determine Hope was behind this - just like the coup - at least in rewritten version since they can't blame Ridge's brother Carter. Steffy axes HFTF Hope joins LOGAN and Brooke will have to be OK with it. Brooke realizes she's been deluding herself that she's a Forrester equal, even though she's mother to two Forresters Rick/Bridget. Rick needs to be back to support his mother. Brooke plots to dump Ridge Marone for Eric to lay claim to Forrester matriarch. Donna should be with Justin anyway.

Correct. Finn doesn't fit Brooke's MO - he's too far removed as Brooke's stepson. No, Brooke likes to keep it closer to home: since she's already done Hope dirty with Olivier ... it's RJ's turn - look out Electra....

You're not alone! I can totally see another twist - Nathan has been brainwashed to believe he's Cass. Is GH officially done with Curtis because it's been a long time since I've actually hated-hated a character. He makes Cullum likeable. Jordan caused the accident. Will she be held accountable for the damage caused to the other driver's vehicle?

I'm addicted to the Nick story ... JM has really tapped into Nick's struggles - always the hero, the part that relates to Nikki, etc. The mood swing scenes have been so good. RH has been a shockingly good scene partner for MS. Totally unexpected. It's like MS forgot all her ticks. It's been a minute since she's been able to show some nuance. The scenes where she had to play it coy and cool with Matt in the suite were intriguing. Obviously, Matt is irredeemable so this won't go anywhere. Oh, and the styling for SH has been a plus. Her looks at Society with Jack and the 40s styling in Diane dream were not what I expected. Irony: Jack has three women he could easily bed and, yet, he's alone. Not the Jack I grew up with. Just sayin'

Truth that! Both Brooke and Hope used the term 'deserve' rather than 'earn'... Um, Brooke saying Hope and Steffy both played in FC halls and blah, blah, blah, Hope is just as entitled as Steffy. Nope. Steffy/Stephanie. Hope is a remnant from a Brooke mistake. I've always wanted Brooke to run FC, but with Steffy. The dressmaker need to focus. That said: Even with all Brooke has achieved, no one has mentioned how Brooke NUMEROUS scandals stained FC through bad publicity. Seriously, how many of Brooke's messes have not been a public spectacle? OC, that's part of what made the show so ridiculously entertaining.

I found it amusing that future co-CEO Brooke and her lackey were just chilling out in Bel Air while Ridge, Steffy and the others are actually working in the office. JMW was finally given deeper material the past two days. It's been a bummer watching Steffy constantly barking orders and being a shrill during the past couple of years. Watching JMW convey Steffy's real issue - Ridge always choosing Brooke - was a nice reminder of her skills as an actor.

@Fevuh Literally everything I was going to post, esp the Donna bimbo logic. Ridge axing his daughter just 12 hours after it was proposed reaffirms Brooke's heart is a rare, magical and powerful wonder.

ITA with Rick, let Ava stew seduce Ethan for some steamy SUV action. The way she spit 'I'm Ava Jerome' was classic. We all know it's fact, but good gracious MW really does have chemistry with everyone. She also has the ability to elevate every actor in her scenes. Rick is way deep in with Liz and she'll be keeping this huge secret from him. Quite an interesting twist in their twisted history. Dante reading Lulu was an unexpected highlight - as was Willow/Chase. I'm surprised they didn't do it on the bench.

At this point, Ava should marry Sidwell, who's days are numbered hopefully. This puts Ava back in Wyndemere + she'll own Sonny's piers. Oh, and Ethan or Cass can be her secret partner/boy toy. I love CW, but this wacky, hysterical Nina absolutely fell flat. I hope she plays the fallout better than recent episodes. Looking forward to Molly being sent to Shadybrook when Cody slips and she finds out that her mother and sister are hypocritical, psychotic felons. Rick is excluded because obviously she knows who he is.

It's been 4 full weeks since we saw Sheila/Deacon/Tay-lee. I can't ever recall a soap completely vacating a story after such a huge reveal involving characters that are on canvas, exits, yes, but nothing like this. The odder thing is that Ridge, Steffy or Hope haven't even mentioned them in passing. I wonder if this is a budget-related issue. I imagine RB, SK and KB have smaller guarantees since they're not leads. I wonder when they'll pick it up again.

I think RP came back because he was going to play sarcastic, sexy Cass rather than 'the PCPD's golden retriever.' When Cass made that comment to Jess, RP delivered it in a way that made me think he's glad to be done with Nathan. The chemistry with AH is real. Lulu can justifiably forgive the impersonation because Cass has gone above and beyond to protect both her children. Cass didn't have to pull Rocco from the dock. Oh and please pivot Ava from Sidwell to Ethan. Thank you.

Since JW isn't available, I'm all for casting LK. I've loved her since 'Lindsey' somehow braved that blizzard to shoot pics of stranded Jack & Jill. Y&R was so ridiculous back then, including Katherine slide show presentation to John. Ah, the memories.

Perfect way to undermine Brooke's case for co-CEO but having her ask for it as part of a seduction. Stephanie wasn't wrong. Clearly this is the way the Bell's have always viewed Brooke. Despite the fact that she's a brilliant chemist aka highly intelligent, she still has to 'follow her heart' to get ahead. Yuk. Worse, when Ridge shuts her down hard, she'll take it. Major kudos to Hope for manipulating Brooke.
