Should just use the Benny Hill theme…

Not a particularly well-constructed plot to say the least. I just wish these writers also accounted for the ubiquity of cameras in our lives, which would force them to be a bit more creative with their storytelling.

Just odd. Esme slips that phone into Trina’s bag, calls in an anonymous tip to the PCPD, and there’s no follow-up today with Trina, which I understand is due to SM leaving, but seems like poor planning/pacing/shifting gears. GH has improved, but things like that make the show feel ultra-amateurish.

Diana Barton (Mari Jo) hasn’t acted (on screen) in almost 20 years, if her IMDB is to be believed. https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0059125/filmotype/actress?ref_=m_nmfm_1 I always thought she was so striking in that film-noir femme fatale way.

That’s another good one I was thinking about but couldn’t find a group photo.

I thought they were pretty good:

Mari Jo Mason? Lol.

GH and DAYS are overrun with villains (unsurprisingly, given their histories) while B&B has Sheila (and possibly Grace). Y&R can’t even muster one decent one. I don’t get it. It’s Soaps 101.

NuJordan looks (and sounds) like she’s reading her lines off Brook Kerr’s face.

Was RC also responsible for Kim Zimmer and the “pig” and “Fat Sow” jokes when she was on OLTL as Echo?

Or they’re writing for “a surprise twist” they don’t want to telegraph so they’re making Ashland less overt. But JG’s twists always fall flat. I dunno. They’re sorta hanging RN out to dry. RN can absolutely play a baddie, but RB doesn’t even have to act it. He just looks like a thug. But of course RB struggled with the all-over-the-place writing for Ashland all the same. On the list.

Shows who they care about.

In need of a palate cleanser:

YES

There’s no fighting! Different strokes for different folks. I do like a long-haired dude:

Funny how Ridge and Brooke’s little theme reminds me ever so slightly of Angelo Badalamenti‘s Twin Peaks stuff.

Hopefully, this gets picked up and he leaves B&B, for his own benefit. Black performers will not be able to thrive on these shows.
