And now, I'm picturing Dame Joan disavowing her role in the miniseries. ("Of COURSE that was my twin sister! I would NEVER agree to appear in such trash!")

BUT...with you-know-who on his way out, I see a scenario where a very distraught Sharon throws away her pills and leans once more on Adam for support.

But she COULD have declined to respond at all. She could have ignored the question - which wouldn't have been the first time a public figure ignored a question posed on their social media feed - or she could have asked that everyone respect the family's privacy at this time (or words to that effect). I'm just saying, with everyone obviously thinking of Susan and the rest of the Huber/Lucci family right now, Liza picked the wrong time - no matter how innocent her intentions - to bring the drama. Leave that mess on the soaps where it belongs, lol.

But, if the writers ever find themselves in a situation where they don't know what to do with Sharon - and they will! - they could have her go off-the-rails again and say, "Well, she's just off her meds again." To me, that's not fixing the character.

Something tells me Susan would have refrained from dropping that kind of news on social media or anywhere else, especially in light of the circumstances. IOW: Liza chose her father's death to start some [!@#$%^&*] with her grieving mother (and on [!@#$%^&*] social media) and that's just bad manners.

Did they really reset Sharon, though, or did they just explain everything away with mental illness? There's a difference. (Plus, I can't recall whether the bipolar disorder diagnosis came before or after that madness, lol.)

When has that ever stopped this damn show? I mean, if Bradley Bell had had his way, Steffy would screw Liam her new love interest on top of Finn's corpse before the paramedics arrive!

Oh, no, I think Paul could be recast:

Frankly, "resetting" Diane is impossible after everything that occurred during the Maura West days. She's long past the point of no return. You're right, it's not like she has implanted a chip inside Jack's brain (...yet). But, you know, I'm not 100-percent convinced she isn't really Patty Jane but with a "new" face. Unless she agreed not to return to GC until Jack said so and now she's going back on her promise? I'm sorry. It's really great to see SW again and all, but the taint of MAB's writing and MW's miscasting lingers on the character of Diane. There's just no way this will work out long-term.

You had me goin' there, though, lol! I was like, "Surely, Frank isn't stupid enough to bring back that little twirp!".

JoANNE Collins?

I'm sorry, Nicolas Bechtel is back on the show?

I was kidding. Wait, they're getting married on Friday the 13th? SERIOUSLY?? The Genoa City Slasher is gonna love that.

Let me guess: they're NOT binge-watching S2 of "Bridgerton" after all?

But I thought QAnon said all the pedophiles in Washington were in the Democratic Party?

Well, there's your big twist right there! Black people getting something to do again on B&B!

There are fans, there are super-fans, and then there is Elizabeth Taylor. Maybe "The Romance of Helen Trent"? It's a pretty old story, lol. Horseshoes?

I don't know WHAT AW felt like to me during the Laibson/Swajeski regime. Laibson did a pretty good job as EP with an obviously reduced budget and minimal support from P&G and NBC, but Swajeski's stories were just there.

Knowing this show and its' idiot HW, they'd probably say Don went to work for the U.S. Postal Service.

So, that's the big twist, huh? Sheila gets everything she ever wanted. Wow. And thanks very much, @janea4old, for the heads-up. I appreciate the precautions you've taken.

As a writer, Maggie DePriest was about as misogynistic and depressing as Megan McTavish (who, thank God, never had the chance to work on AW, lol). Yet, for some reason, I found her work on every show she worked on far more watchable, if not entertaining.

I've often wondered whether the old Llanview foyer (the one with the stairs leading off-screen) was ever used on DS. Something about that part of the mansion always looked vaguely familiar to me, lol.

Brenda's choice of attire was CLEARLY foreshadowing the mental illness that ran on her mother's side.

Which is why their budget today is literally someone's SSI benefits, and why their core audience has dwindled down to a group of Omaha housewives who don't trust the Internet. And when it comes to the devil's motivations for wanting the baby, your theory's as good as anyone else's, lol.

Somewhere, Tennessee Williams is popping another pill, swilling another martini and helping himself to another, feckless, young stud. Anything to mask his pain.
