Connor and Hudson walked into a gay bar last week unannounced and the place went wild. Connor said "Thank you for tweeting about our butts."

Both actors are incredibly hot and have hockey asses -- which means they are unbelievable. IG is filled with gifs and memes and photos. Hudson Williams (on the left) is straight in real life. Connor Stories (right) is cagey about his sexuality, but the many You Tube videos make it clear he's gay. Storrie is from Texas, but his Russian accent is perfect, and he plays it so butch and alpha it's amazing. The lives of both guys have blown up. The media attention is off the charts and everything they do goes viral.

They really had Jack deliver a Jabot company message from Crimson Lights? Seriously?

Can you tell me where it's also been discussed? On what threads? Because this show is FIRE. It's the best gay series I've ever seen. You have no idea what you're in for. None. It's hockey smut but it's also so romantic it's unreal. There's lust and there's intense love and yearning, and the guys are beyond beautiful and sexy. I know I sound dramatic and melodramatic, but this show is so moving and so "I want them together" that I can't explain.

A car or an alley would work just fine. It's just ridiculous, and not what I want from this show. -- Today's show was OK, but nothing special. -- I still feel like we're getting more threads branching off from present storylines without getting any movement or resolution on anything. For months, Leslie's obsession with Ted was everywhere. Now she seems over him and talks about how he played with her emotions. Now she's chasing someone else. The heavy, ridiculous anvils of the Vernon and Sharon secret have been dropped for weeks and weeks, but now we're just getting forever and unyielding love between Vernon and Anita. Bill shape shifts constantly. He's tough and he's soft. He's smart and he's gullible and naive. He wants a young hot wife and he wants a baby. He is over Dani and he's not over Dani. I don't mind any of these happening, but I do need some movement/resolution once in a while before throwing in another personality change or plot device. -- Derek and Ashley broke up? Now what? Nothing. Naomi and Jacob had serious arguments over having a baby? Now what? Nicole 2.0 is now an ice princess who doesn't know she's sending signals to multiple men? Now what? -- Don't get me wrong. I think there's a lot there with every one of those examples. I just need something to happen before more story threads are pulled.

Hayley and Randy again met at this corner spot? And their criminal friend met them there? This is so bad. We didn't even get the pretend coffee cups.

I agree. It's kind of maddening to read that people think she's trying to take Joey down. Nothing in these scripts says anything of the kind. As I've said repeatedly, if that's what they end up doing, this is HORRIBLE writing to get there.

-- Ted gifted Shanice an electronic bird feeder? This guy has no game. None. -- The hard right turn moving Leslie away from Ted and towards Marcel makes no sense to me. This just feels like another dropped storyline in a sea of dropped storylines. She was OBSESSED with Ted and now doesn't even mention him. -- BTW, is Allison gone? Or will we return to her around May and hear some people say "Oh, these writers are so clever!" -- Is Greg Vaughan going to recur the same way Cady McClain recurs? Because if that's the case, there was no sense signing him. -- Still waiting for someone to explain Eva's complete outfit and jewelry change from one scene to the next. -- It's sure looking like Bob Guza's departure is a big loss.

I've read comments where people are asking just that. With a number of queer people in the BTG cast, I can see him being a problem. Who else has been replaced or fired from this cast in the first year? No one. That tells me that they got rid of him.

He's really trash. I also have no use for his interviewer, who pushed back at nothing and treated him like God's gift.

Not sure this belongs in this thread.... Did any of you see the Maurice Johnson (ex-Ted) interview on You Tube? It's an exercise in toxic masculinity. The guy is flat-out homophobic, and I am GLAD he was fired/recast/whatever. I would not be surprised if there were reasons he was let go that are tied to his anti-gay and misogynistic attitude.

That's how I feel, and I see this happening all over the place. Some things -- like Vernon and Sharon -- aren't even real twists. We ALL know what's really happening. Do these writers think they're fooling us? If the Vanessa and Joey story gets a twist -- that Vanessa is setting up Joey for a takedown -- I can't see it as satisfying, because we're getting MONTHS of her slobbering all over him with no insight as to how this takedown would take place, with no regard given to her kids or to her community standing and reputation. -- Nicole is so busy that she can't make it to Martin's for tree decorating? She can't stop there for 20 minutes to see her grandkids? -- WTH is up with continuity? Eva was dressed in all white at the country club with Ted. Then we see her at Uptown in a COMPLETELY different outfit with a different necklace and earrings. Really??? -- The Febreze product placement was bad today. Nicole is spraying the stuff heavily while Carlton is sitting right there on the picnic blanket? -- Samantha helping June at Orphey Gene's -- essentially working there -- is stupid.

-- The Anita health scare can be an interesting story, but I do wish they had avoided the soap cliche of keeping it a secret from everyone. I hope that ends shortly. -- Speaking of cliches, some of the dialogue was really clunky today, and giving Tomas a ton of dialogue is a choice. -- Chelsea went to Dani's to look for hidden Christmas presents? Really? Couldn't they come up with a better reason to get her there? -- Hayley has made some dumb moves (like all these open meetings at Uptown), but would she really make a joke with Bill and intimate she was fleecing him? -- I don't understand why Bill needs to investigate Tomas. Feels like soap ridiculousness. -- The stuff with Vanessa and Joey is horrendous. I do not want to watch months of her slobbering over him and saying "I'll crawl" to be with him while having sex all over the filthy casino gaming table. -- Any surprise that Vanessa wanted to take down Joey will not make up for the way she's behaved and for the things she's said.

-- Eric Braeden is an awesome human being. I really admire him. However, the show doesn't do him or his character any favors by writing him the same way they wrote him when he got Nikki off the stripper pole. It doesn't work. -- It doesn't help that the entire AI story is completely nonsensical and unrealistic and illogical. I start grinding my teeth when these actors pretend it makes sense. -- The launch party for Abbott Communications was a complete embarrassment. The 50s theme was great for dress-up, but otherwise made no sense. Sally's speech was pathetic -- one cliche after another about the purpose and goals of AC. Talk about a nothing burger. -- And who has a launch party and doesn't invite ANYONE on their staff? Billy congratulated Sally for all she did. Uh...so what exactly did she do? -- NO ONE writes worse business stories than Josh Griffith. I can name two dozen things wrong with it. -- Phyllis and Daniel left the launch party and went to Crimson Lights for coffee? What? -- For the 84th time, Adam and Chelsea realize they're pawns and suckers.

-- Ridge and Brooke disgust me so much that I'm willing to accept Katie marrying Bill again. If we get competing fashion houses out of these sad, sorry marriages, I'll take it. -- Taylor's "therapy sessions" with Deacon are beyond parody. She crosses ethical boundaries all over the place while pretending she's Ms. Professional. I feel like at some point she'll just spread her legs the way Sharon Stone did in Basic Instinct. -- I hope to God the writers laugh hysterically every time they write that stapler into the script.

Embarrassing. He can't even pull off the Macaulay Culkin "Yes!"

-- I hope Bill turns down Joey's suggestion that he run against Martin for Congress. Bill has a huge ego, but I just don't think he'd go against the entire family he's still tied to. -- Hayley meeting at Uptown with Randy and then with Lynette makes no sense. I know this show has a sets problem, but come on. This is ridiculous.

You nailed it. I have nothing else to add.

500 hours of community service for Rocco seems awfully excessive.

God, do I agree with this. Stephanie just doesn't cut it as a lead carrying this much story. DAYS has all the elements to being good, but the truth is, it's not. Cwikly and Ford are better than Ron C, but that doesn't mean much when they're still not what I'd call solid. They aren't giving me anything to be excited about, and it feels like everything is on low simmer.

-- The Christmas tree stuff with Alex and Stephanie was so bad. I know it's all minor, but why can't they make something like this more realistic? They dragged a tree across Horton Town Square. What??? Then they get this 4' tree up and make a big deal that it's not straight. The tree -- NEVER for a moment looking like a real tree -- then falls to the ground and both Alex and Stephanie act as if it's destroyed. -- Johnny and Chanel live in a place that screams "We're really struggling financially and we hope the government doesn't cut our food stamps." At least Johnny's bubble butt looks good in those jeans.

But why shouldn't we simply assume that Claire, Ben, Ciara, and JJ have all affected him?

I hear you on that. It's possible the previews of Nicole and Carlton are misleading, and that this "date" with Carlton will cement that there's nothing romantic between them.

I thought the Carlton thread was tied off when Nicole told him she wasn't interested in anything romantic and just wanted to be friends. If they wanted to return to the coupling, they should have written those scenes differently.
