Maybe I'm tripping, but am I the only one who thought Sheila and Taylor's scenes after Taylor almost fell came off as a little romantic? That hug was almost couple-ish.

Catching up after missing a few episode. Sheila is a plumb fool for saying "I'm coming, Finn!". I know melodramatic is what soaps do, but that was almost comedic.

Bell once again went for shock value and one off dramatic scenes with actually having a solid point to the story. If Sheila was going to shoot her own child by accident then it needed to backed up my something more substantial.

Kimberlin Brown is one of the best actresses in daytime period. She was able to nail how disturbed Sheila is and make it very frightening (that mirror scene scared me more than any horror movie scene has).

Good riddance.  It was hard to see the actor and not hear "Liberty Biberty."

Wait a minute, that is the guy from that commercial? I didn't even realize it.

Steffy was dialing 911 way too slow, lol. I know it's a soap, but sometimes the way things are dragged out is just ridiculous. That could have been written better.

With all the criticism they take over not having enough nominees and winners of color there was no way they were going to keep Will from accepting his award on stage and having him escorted out was even less likely. The Academy would prefer dealing with complaints over ones of him being thrown out.

Leo would be verse at the most. When he tried to blackmail Xander into sleeping with him it was giving the energy that he wanted bottom action.

Having mental health issues isn't really the same thing as mental illness. I'm not saying he has a chronic condition, but he did give off the vibe of someone in a state of distress and in need of help.

He just punched a guy on live television and then had to go give an award winning speech at the Oscars 10 minutes later. Of course he’s going to “struggle” and be all emotional.  Come on. 

No need to be condescending, Toups. What I saw is that he has some issues that were underlying before anything that happened tonight because his emotion seemed more than just for the moment. He needs some mental health services and immediately.

Obviously Will is going through a lot because that speech clearly showed that he is struggling. It was about more than the joke and he took out whatever aggression he had on Chris Rock.

That was one of the craziest award show moments ever.

This is very true and makes the current information that much scarier. What has this crazy heffa been doing all these years?

For one she ran a non-profit that backed the Tea Party and then shuttered once that movement became irrelevant. She has a history of utilizing dark money for activism and has been criticized before for being to active as the spouse of a court justice.

Clarence had a history of not saying a word on the court and pretty much hiding behind Scalia so his personality type is that of one who lets others do the work for him. He's smart enough to have kept his hands clean and let his wife do all the dirty work because she is an activist (more like an operative) who is expected to be dirty.

The insanity of all of these is almost cartoonish. These people got so desperate that they left receipts all over the place or they were so confident that they didn't even think about how sloppy they were being (it's a combination really).

Meanwhile, should I feel bad that I don't feel bad about Thomas?  Like, I'd never wish anything bad to happen to him, or to anyone else; but, at the same time, given everything we know about him, he's in the hospital and I'm like, *shrug*.

Not at all. If you don't feel bad about it you just don't feel bad. He's not a very likable person and unlikable people don't get an overwhelming amount of sympathy.

Clarence Thomas' wife is not going to allow any accurate information to get out which means the court can only tell whatever she lets them know. She is a major political hack and if her husband is gravely ill she is going to conceal it as long as possible and if worse comes to worse she will keep it until after the election in the event Republicans win the Senate. With that said I can't see that working because if the regular media didn't find out the truth then TMZ will.

I can only guess that someone got through to him how likely Democrats are to lose the Senate this year  (seeing a poll showing the complete idiot and domestic abuser Herschel Walker comfortably leading in Georgia made my heart sink, even though  it wasn't a surprise), and that this will be the last chance to replace him with someone who is not a hard right extremist. 

I wouldn't trust any poll showing Walker leading comfortably. There are a lot of Republican leaning polls out there will suspicious methodology and Georgia is still the south so a black man who has beat white women is going to have some major problems.

Writers can't be insecure. He needs to get over it because whining about tweets is pointless.

Obviously there was a time when spoilers in magazines and tv guides were not a thing, so I'm talking about stories that weren't spoiled in the era of spoilers being available. Even the ridiculous Melaswen twist was spoiled months before the reveal on a random message board. One story that I know didn't get spoiled was when Storm ended up shooting Katie on B&B. As I recall there were even fake official descriptions of the episode posted because what the descriptions said would happened never actually happened and Katie getting shot was actually a surprise to viewers.

That episode was devastating. I was already welling just when Brooke started running, but when she finally saw what happened and then Donna came in and screamed I lost it.

Ah, yes, the Eighties.  Rampant homophobia mixed with conspicuous consumption and excess.  Good times.

It was an interesting decade in that in produced so much material that became popular within gay culture and at the same time cultural conservatism became more organized.

I recall several weeks or well over a month where the characters had on the same clothes and it just looked ridiculous. I don't even know why I watched this show.

Yes, that was fairly gay, but a lot of 80s aerobics had that feel.

And I'm glad you are back, Khan. I missed your posts.
