In addition to the Bill & Laura LIE we were fed, we got this LOL lie from Leo: that he resorts to humor to cover for how much he hates himself. Jesus. This Leo propping is pathetic and laughable. Leo is SCUM, and we've never been given the idea of and reasons for any self-loathing. He's a selfish, egocentric, narcissistic POS.

Well, you're in a very small minority, so there's that.

Thanks for posting, but honestly, I have zero desire to listen to anything those two say.

No idea where you're getting that.

Agree about Nadia. No matter what they give her, she makes it work. She's one of those actors who turns good into great and turns nothing into something. Her treatment at DAYS has been deplorable.

Agree about Maggie. She's not wrong about Alex, but her moralizing comes across as sanctimonious and self-righteous when she calls out Alex for far less than others have done. The Theresa wig was bad, but so was Theresa, period. I know EOB can put her own spin on Theresa, but that was MILES away from the Jen Lilley Theresa. EOB came across as a Vegas gold digger to me. Yeah, I know it was only a 30-second reveal, but that did not work for me.

I want them both gone, but I have a feeling Frank will keep Gladys on the canvas. As with Cyrus, Frank does not know when a character has run his course. I feel the same about Esme. The GH cast is forever bloated, and Frank refuses to change that.

Yeah, I'd bet money that Abigail is coming back. All Ron C is good for is recycling actors/characters in and out.

-- There's NO chemistry between Hope and Finn. I hope to God that wasn't a chem test. -- Shouldn't Eric do more designing instead of talking constantly about winning some competition against Ridge? -- Sheila and Deacon continue to gross me out. WTF does Deacon see in her???

Stacy's Kristen is fine. Her Susan is not. She's a caricature of ED's portrayal.

Honestly, not many of us thought she was dead for good. I just don't like the portrayal of the character. It's so over-the-top that it's a cartoon and the voice is like being in hell.

Can we please get rid of Gladys now???

This show is a mess, and the last couple of episodes are proof. And Susan again on my screen? I'm sorry, but I liked it better when she was dead.

Even stranger than Marlena reaching that conclusion was her judgmental therapy. I don't like Talia at all, but that was the Therapist from Hell. Marlena should have passed "Doctor" Talia on to some other shrink.

Agree completely. We've been given ZERO reason to care bout Leo. He's an awful, selfish human being without humanity for anyone but himself. Am I supposed to love him because he gives us gay quips??? Leo has ruined the Dimitri character for me. I was excited to see Peter Porte on the canvas, but what they've done to him is horrific, to the point that I don't care if he lives or dies.

Some of us -- like me lol -- have complained about sets problems on YR, GH, B&B, and DAYS. But what specific set on any soap makes you think "Huh?" I'd love to hear a list of sets that don't work for you, or make you wonder what the set designers were thinking. Here's one: On Y&R, we were all happy to see the return of the GCAC. The Athletic Club set is iconic. However, no elevator??? In a hotel frequented by an (almost entirely) older clientele? We never see anyone carrying their bags upstairs or downstairs, do we? And then there's the main dining area. What's with all the living room furniture surrounding only 2-3 tables? How the hell does this restaurant stay open, and who wants to eat dinner while next to people sitting on a couch?

Please tell me I'm not the only one who's sickened when Sheila calls Deacon "Daddy." Makes me want to throw up.

I'm fine with JPL, too -- and I readily admit I did not like his last stint at all, which consisted of various methods of scenery-chewing. I think his work has been very good this time around. And tbh, I don't know what "There's no connection to Phillip" means. I don't know what the guy is supposed to do to show that connection.

Kimberlin Brown does god work as Sheila when she's in psycho mode, but those scenes today with Deacon were cringe. All she does is squint and try to emote. It's a fail. And Sheila says all she wants is someone to love her? If this is supposed to make us sympathize with Sheila, it's another fail.

The entire Victor storyline is a mess. That being said, shouldn't Justin have been A LOT more upset with the news that Alex isn't his son??? I'm sorry, but I don't like the way that was written or played.

I doubt very much that ANY awards show is going through while the actors are on strike. It's just not going to happen.

I enjoy Charlotte, too. Now that they have her on canvas, they can get rid of Esme. Send her off camera while she's lugging around Amazon Baby Ace.

Great post. Much appreciated.

I'm sure you realize the "problem" of shows not surviving the third season is of their own making.

We can only hope.
