I hate this version of Anna. She's just a female Lucky with her endless moping and crying. That's not Anna Devane! The writers should wrap up these stories and pivot to something with a pulse. There's not an OG Carly in sight, ready to wreck someone's marriage or a charming prince from Greece with a homicidal family in tow.

Kimberlin is back from her vacation! Taylor screaming her head off to see Sheila should've been the show ender. Hope/Steffy arguing again about 'Hope for the Future' has no stakes. LOL what is this scene? Steffy is hugging Hope and wanting to bond over both of them having a kid with Liam.

It was over the top. He didn't even give Kat a moment before tearing into her. I really hope that the writers circle back to why he is always so venomous towards her. Martin killed a man, albeit a racist, and his tongue just drips with acid like the holier-than-thou jerk he is for the sister he was raised with. Kat needs someone who is on her side or, at the very least, gives her the benefit of doubt. That's what a big brother should be. Vote for whoever is running against Martin Richardson.

I just went on his IG and saw. He's going to have sleeves soon enough.

I've always found it more believable when characters come back from the dead than the shows making us accept some of the most basic stuff. Forrester Creations can have more than one fashion line at a time. Also, in real life, what Hope is doing would get her sued. You don't take a sabbatical from your job and secretly join another company. I'll go along with it since this is the most interesting Bold has been in a while. Although I do wish the Deacon, Taylor/ Sheila hadn't been shoved to the backburner. Zende could really be a power player if the show cared even a little bit.

I feel for Zende. He's constantly ignored and dismissed. If Bold really wanted to go there, he would question why he's not considered one of the favorites. On a superficial note, Katie is looking good today. I love that leather skirt.

These bottle episodes are tiring. Suppose I didn't care about Jack, Patti, and Diane—please bring back an ensemble show.

The old Brooke, yes. I don't recognize what Brad Bell has done to her character over the years. She only cares about Ridge now. The final straw for me was when Brooke just stood by and let Ridge talk about Hope like a stray dog. Brooke needs more layers again.

Thanks. I know this was random, but it's been bothering me, and I really do appreciate all the Loving historians. It's my favorite little soap that could. Christine's age being wrong on IMDb/Google was my assumption, but you never know. Some people do genuinely look older/younger. But she should be in her 70s if the younger set are now in their 50s (Which is wild!). Because I was on my Loving binge, it got me interested in NCIS. Michael Weatherly was born to play Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, but he is very self-deprecating when it comes to his time on soaps. In more than one clip, he talks about how bad he was at playing Cooper Alden --- going home in a huff and being sick to his stomach because he was sure his performance stunk; that Celeste Holm was one of his co-stars who pulled him aside and told him he needed to watch the show and invest in the character. I didn't think he was young Robert DeNiro, but there's a charm and skill there. Most of the younger actors were green at the start, but now they're pros. Amelia and Laura have Emmys. I wish Paul Anthony Stewart could've gotten the same recognition.

Katie —the only Logan woman who matters. She has a sense of purpose beyond her next orgasm. Bold has done far too much damage to Brooke for me to ever root for her again.

A lot of the actors still seem to be close after all these years. I'm glad Rebecca is getting much-needed support right now. Does anyone know if Christine Tudor played older than her actual age for Gwyneth? During the Loving mystery, I started googling. I'm shocked she didn't win an Emmy ---wasn't even nominated! But I saw that she's around the same age as Michael Weatherly and Laura Wright, who were part of the younger set at the time.

AJ Lee is a return guest. I'll check this episode later in the week.

GH has fallen off a creative cliff for me. I've been skipping episodes again.

Perfect sense. There is a newfound Victoria-ish backbone to Katie, but there's a vulnerability. Victoria Newman would chew Brooke into small pieces and then spit her out. Katie is more focused on standing up for herself. I also think Heather Tom is a natural successor to Susan Flannery/Stephanie Forrester. She comes across as a grown woman who can hold her own. It's refreshing from the years of Steffy propping, who is just a wannabe bossgirl throwing tantrums most of the time.

I didn't know whether to love or laugh at this comment. But I'm with you all the way. Just get Kristina off my screen. In fact, I need a revamp on most of the stories on GH. I've been skipping shows outright because the show is just dragging for me. Joss as Sydney Bristow, the sterile quad led by doofus Curtis and Trina wanting to be the next Rihanna isn't riveting. Can ABC dust off Guza?

I suspected AN is possibly pregnant because Hope has been in one sack after another. I don't think she will announce anything (yet) because she has suffered miscarriages. Agree with the rest of your post as well, especially Hope's employment. In what world can you go on a sabbatical and show up at a competitor? That's a breach of contract and Forrester Creations could bury Hope in lawsuits. All of this is silly, just to justify a shock reveal. Hope is a grown woman who can just quit a job and LOGAN would revel in the publicity of poaching Brooke's daughter. Oh, the nonsense we endure to suspend disbelief on soaps.

Lily ate Victoria up, and I loved every second of it. The Dru in her came out to play. This might've been my favorite Lily scene ever.

100%. Ronn Moss can't act out of a paper bag, but he has the charisma, chemistry and presence that made Ridge. Thorsten barely carries any emotion as Ridge and has checked out of the role he was miscast for. He did come alive with Krista Allen. Brooke is so far gone. She is absolutely unhinged today, going on about how Katie was always a jealous homeboy who loved to read while Brooke was the pretty and popular one. Ma'am. You are a card-carrying AARP member. Brooke really doesn't see Katie as a grown woman and still thinks they're both in middle school.

Same. Maybe KK will surprise us, but I'm doubtful. This legacy return feels like a break-the-glass situation, given that Maxie is off the canvas. Serena should've already been a regular, especially with the Cody nonsense but here we are. I just hope that there's a story in place and Lynn/Lucy gets decent material.

What a scene! Heather Tom showed once again why she is one of the GOATs of daytime. She needs another Emmy on her mantle. I'm so glad that Katie went there and she told no lies. Brooke's first and only allegiance is to Ridge and her kids, especially the dirty little secret, be damned. And yes, Steffy is indeed garbage. It almost feels as though Brad knows he went too far in making her a sanctimonious shrew but what's done is done. At least Stephanie Forrester owned being obnoxious about the Logans. And aww at that clip of Heather with both Joshua and Crew.

NCIS, The Pitt and Loving

Phyllis is on way too much. Whereas Mariah, Tessa, and Victoria are basically on milk cartons. The show has never cared much about Mariah and Tessa but Victoria is a full on talk to when she is on screen. A more competent writer could've milked the Claire conflict for years. Shemar Moore's big return feels like a bait-and-switch. Malcolm has been talked about but hasn't been seen.

I was curious about that too. I'll probably skip the Nancy Lee Grahn interview—great actress, insufferable as a person.

Scott Clifton has a high episode count, but Liam feels irrelevant at the same time. He's just a Greek chorus. Kimberlin Brown must've been on vacation. But that's no reason why the Deacon/Sheila/Taylor triangle should've come to a halt.

That's another favorite of mine. His voice was made for ballads.
