It was the natural progression from Sally’s feud with Phyllis. And it was laying there on a plate. And it’s not like Nick has anything better to do right now.

We know it was just a kiss. Ridge does not and would have every reason to doubt it, given how out of it Brooke was that night. And he’d been such an @sshole regarding having Deacon even show up at their house. I dunno. I have issues with the way the story is being told, but I buy Brooke’s dilemma. (Especially combined with falling off the wagon—the idea that Deacon’s presence in her life contributed to that, when unbeknownst to her, her drink was spiked. Again, there’s a lot there that makes me go uhhh, but the emotional drama I don’t have a problem with, aside from the repetitive nature of the scenes, which is a global problem on B&B.)

Used every blue moon. I think Courtney Hope (Y&R) is very pretty. And Brook Kerr (GH) continues to defy age (beyond mere “black don’t crack”—she looks like a contemporary of her onscreen daughter).

Holly Gagnier looks good. She’s sorta morphing into Julianna Margulies.

I thought that was how they were going to place Sally from the jump. But nope, Jack, Adam, and playing high school mean girl to Summer and Kyle. It *seems* as if they are planting seeds to use Chelsea as a spoiler for Sharon and Rey, but that’s a big “Who cares?”

I think these soaps are being relatively more careful about sexual situations than could be construed as rape (like Nina and Sonny not doing the do on GH while he had amnesia). I do understand her concern considering how over the top Ridge had recently been about Deacon. It’s a hard situation to explain away, and he probably wouldn’t believe it was just a kiss. But I agree somewhat. Lots of stories being dragged out with filler. I get that it’s likely a budget thing.

10th week for Adele.

Steffy and Thomas peeking at Ridge and Taylor through the door like two 10-year-olds is so grating. Diamond White/Paris is gorgeous but such an awkward kisser. Any day with shirtless Carter is a good day.

It’s super annoying to watch Adam actively irritated with two women who can’t get enough of him. Also, this cheap show refuses to update its opening. How long has Courtney Hope been featured as a frontburner contract star on Y&R without an intro shot?

A good read.

Alan should flat out ask her if she’d accept an offer on one of the remaining soaps if asked.

These shows don’t really know to use these aging former ingenues who have grown children.

Lol. These Alan Locher memes are killing me.

Regina was on with her son for Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper’s NYE special (1:30 in):
