“We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from Encanto boots Adele from No. 1:

Does someone behind the scenes hate Courtney Hope? They love to write someone sh!tting on, talking crazy, or condescending to Sally, whether it’s Chloe, Chelsea, or Adam (and previously it was Phyllis, Jack, Summer, Kyle, Nikki, Victor, and Tara).

It’s bad. I was very curious as to why Trina completely disappeared after being *drugged* and feeling poorly, while her besties and love interest behaved as if she didn’t exist. Not even Esme checked on her to see how her nefarious plans were working, if I recall correctly. I was baffled, but saw the online outcry and felt validated. Beyond even the bad optics, it’s nonsensical.

So they’re chem-testing Chelsea with Chance and Rey?

I wonder if she did a “What Have I Done to Deserve This?”-type collaboration with someone like Disclosure (or a hip-hop act like Megan Thee Stallion), she might pull off a rare modern-day hit. I feel like there’s a current drumbeat and visibility with younger audiences that she could take advantage of. I’ve liked Justin’s music over the years, but I think he should probably stick to acting these days.

Lol. And those were the two deaths that, if they were undone, most viewers would happily look the other way, as they were so ill-advised.

Yeah, a death on DAYS isn’t worth much consideration based on recent experience (which is one reason why the show feels so frivolous). I know Paige’s death has stuck, but that’s a rare exception that could easily be undone per the show’s inconsistent rules. GH is much more prone to letting deaths stick. I agree on Maxie. But these shows will always go for the big gesture that will win them a short-term viewership boost that will please the bosses or an Emmy here or there. It would also seem silly to bring Felicia/KW back on contract for that.

LOL. I read that very differently than you had intended it. I thought I’d somehow missed some kinky sh!t. Whew chile, Friday.

LOL! I thought we were gonna see a Hat Dad/Epiphany love scene.

Oh no. I’ve just started watching, and I hope it’s not what I’m thinking. This stand-in Marshall is at least more appealing.

Even the Facebook grandmas are getting restless. I was just curious about that crowd, and they seem none too pleased with the show.

He said there’s not enough work on B&B to go around and that the lack of consistency (and hyperfocus on a couple storylines at a time with limited cast) isn’t good for the actors or the audience: https://www.soapsindepth.com/posts/the-bold-the-beautiful/would-jacob-young-return-to-bandb-the-actor-speaks-out/amp

Are Katrina Bowden and Denise Richards still on contract? Jacob Young had this show nailed.

Yes! He was so meticulous and thorough in his world-building and characterizations. Dipping into his show was like dipping into another realm. This aimless, haphazard sh!t that JG’s doing can’t compare (for other reasons that you’ve highlighted, like how production further enhanced Bill Bell’s unique world and its almost mythic qualities).
