I don't think Lauralee Bell was ever a BAD actor. She's no Beverlee McKinsey, but she's alright. It's just that Cricket/Christine was SO pure, with SO many singing her praises, that it seemed like Bill Bell was allowing his feelings toward his daughter to cloud his judgment and story sense.

It won't last. Colton is still new to the game (so to speak). He's marrying the first, real, same-sex partner he's had, because his traditional upbringing still influences him.

To be honest, I was never terribly impressed with KNOTS' sets, although I think they did a pretty good job with designing the Fairgate/McKenzie living room.

Not unless you are the office gossip!

I really don't want to criticize Josh Griffith, or tell him (or any HW) how to do his job anymore, because I've realized how difficult it is for these people to satisfy the "suits" and still keep the audiences tuning in. HOWEVER, if this is Griffith's way of fixing a storyline that isn't working AS it's still airing, as I suspect it is, then he's chosen a rather inelegant way of doing it.

I agree.

I thought Ron Carlivati wasn't writing this show anymore.

Overall, I loved Val, and I get why she would be so protective of Betsy and Bobby, but if I had to listen to her go on and on about having to think of them before anything else one more time...!

Nah, that would make too much sense, lol. I agree! If he turned out to be Bo's kid, I would want to see Bo struggle between building a relationship with his son and taking him down; and I would want to see Hope accuse Megan of using Dimitri to cause trouble for her and Bo, too.

I think it's a misconception that soap actors pay attention to what's happening on their own shows.

So, that would make him Bo's son?

"He must've slipped me something." "Apparently!"

No, last time I checked, Terry was still crying about what had happened to her back in Laurelton and refusing to tell anyone about it.

Val had that redone, because "I HAVE GOT TO THINK ABOUT MY CHILDREN!".

If Colin lives in the same building as Chloe and Xander, then he's definitely not getting his cleaning deposit back when he moves.

Donna Mills in a Subaru? Has she been drugged? Denise Alexander.

That is so heartbreaking to watch. Elizabeth Hubbard did the right thing by paying into a long-term care policy that she'd hoped would relieve of her son of some of the burden of taking care of her in her final days. It's just a shame that the bureaucracies that continue to cripple our country's health care industry undermined all that careful and smart planning. Also, if I had my druthers, soaps would be putting a spotlight on these and other real, timely issues today instead of inundating us with more WTD stories.

DYNASTY had already played the "long-lost child" card with Adam, so bringing on Amanda as yet another long-lost Carrington was redundant.

Or, it's Moesha DiMera, another long-lost daughter, played by Brandy.

I get that they wanted to create an air of mystery and possibly danger around Dominique when she arrived in Denver, but I couldn't understand why she kept her connection to the Carringtons under wraps for so long, or why she was trading catty remarks with Alexis as if they were longtime nemeses. Other character: "Just who ARE you anyway, Ms. Devereaux?" Dominique: "Who AM I? That, my dear, is for me to know, and for you to find out...eventually." Khan (watches): "Oh, girl, just tell them who you are so we can move on!"

It's Hayleigh DiMera, Stefano's long-lost child by a soccer mom from SoCal.

It's taken me so long to get to a place where I don't hate Felicia. Please don't undo all that for me now.

Ten bucks says Suzanne took a look at Deidre one day and said, "Again with the pantsuits!?"

The best example of this kind of story wasn't on any soap opera, but on a fifth-season episode of "Good Times" titled "Requiem for a Wino."

I agree!
