ALL: Popular Actors playing Unpopular Characters
This might be a cheat because it's primetime, but Rena Sofer as Jack Bauer's sister-in-law on season 6 of 24 was despised by fans. Not that Sofer deserves any blame for the failure. That season also wasted powerhouses Regina King and Powers Boothe.

B&B: February 2025 Discussion Thread
In a fit of rage, she'll do the unthinkable and kidnap Eric's beloved stapler. Hiding due to the statewide manhunt that was called, she makes her way to the Spencer mansion. Luna stops her from destroying the stapler and in return is given a full pardon for her lessor crimes, freeing her to scheme with Electra's stalker.

Nah, gotta give the writers a pass on this one. A crazy person would think contradictory thoughts. And for real, Luna probably did have a good life. Lived in California; wasn't poor; had a flaky but generally nice mom. It's not uncommon for someone that age, even one that's not a nutcase, to play the "poor me" card in hindsight when they begin interacting solely with the wealthy Finnegans and ultra rich Forresters and Spencers.

Sheila/Luna scenes could be fun, but who knows if they'll even play that story beat. It would be hilarious if the aftermath featured a bunch of scenes of Li getting increasingly mad when the various Forrester/Marrone/Logan's she explains the situation to can't understand what the fuss is about. Is Poppy supposed to be much older than Finn on the show? I think the actors are the same age.

Ratings from the 1990s
Caroline in the City wasn't a great show but it does deserve a tier above the rest of satellite shows. In its second year behind Frasier it held its own, even on its tryout in Frasier's slot for a week. In year 3 when it moved to Monday at 9 - though it fell to the 40s - it came in 2nd in its slot ahead of Cybill and year 1 of Ally McBeal. Of course, the wheels came off in the last year opposite a surging Everybody Loves Raymond and year 2 of Ally Beal (its highest rated season). As a fun piece of trivia, it was Will & Grace's original lead-in before the show got 2 timeslot upgrades that year.

ALL: Couple vs SUPER Couple?
Your first line is ironic because you defined the term perfectly. Hats off to you. In my mind a supercouple is limited to Luke & Laura and their knockoffs: Frisco & Felicia. All the main 1980s Brady couplings. Maybe Steve & Betsy on ATWT. I think calling Jessie & Angie a supercouple is an insult to the actors & writers. The characters had inner lives and ambitions that didn't revolve around their pairing.

@Maxim Thank you, I hope you're having a wonderful Boxing Day! Hilarious that RJ wasn't invited to neither the Logan or Forrester gatherings. Maybe he and Li are hooking up on the downlow and ditched Eric's party. Or he spent it with cousin Flo. I hope today's show opens with Eric telling Ivy & Electra that the party's over so they can come out of their rooms now.

It actually computes to me that Ridge would say that. He completely soured on Hope after she (rightfully!!!) couldn't commit to Thomas. I think he knows deep down his son is a loser and thinks that being with someone like Hope was his only shot at turning his life around. It's not Hope's responsibility of course, but Ridge is so self absorbed he'd never see that POV. As for RJ, on paper it would be interesting to get his take on the situation. But let's be real, the actor is very attractive but completely out of his depth and would add nothing to the drama. This isn't a case of Brad just getting bored with a character IMO, it's that he knows the actor is a dud. I still think Luna being a psycho is a re-write because of this. I wouldn't mind RJ being sidelined for a few months while the actor takes acting lessons. If he improves, great! If not, recast.
