Thank you. I read these arguments about who is better and I'm like...neither? Annika is terrible. The best actress on this show was Susan Flannery and there's never been much else honestly other than Heather Tom and her crying. KKL does fine/pretty good. I would say the current Taylor Krista?? Holds her own and is decent. The rest of the cast is pretty much blah. Don Diamont is in Ron Moss territory. Not quite as bad because he's not so monotone.

So - this will seem like a cop out. But thanks for the detailed reminder. I remember thinking of all of this, and why Steffy and Thomas would almost - why would they even CARE about their mother when it comes to some stuff? And this was a reminder of all of that. I've never been a Taylor fan - well, because I watched at the beginning. But along the way I remember some pretty awful stuff (that I'd forgotten). So thanks. This is not to say at all that Brooke is without fault. Where is RJ again? I'm sure when he returns he'll be a Doctor or some important Fashion businessperson - has been running the office in Milan for 2 years or something crazy. But these people have kids and lose them all the time.

One thing I’ve said since the outset with limited watching. She’s far better than Tylo and in the first few scenes was on track to make the role her own, which is a shi**y prospect given the history of the character and writing. Probably not gonna feel sorry for her. I didn’t feel it was necessarily better writing either. But, shocker - she made me feel badly for Taylor regardless of her spoiled brat daughter (back down folks, so is Hope). She was and is more believable, no over the top reactions or facial expressions. I like Tylo, but Krista is just better.

Ok so I’m going to say something I never thought I’d say about B&B here - ever. That’s a bet I would have taken for $ Millions of dollars. That B&B would never ever have a truly memorable moment - that could ever EVER be considered for the Greatest Moments on Daytime - in History. Well I would have lost that bet - because I watched on Demand after hearing about it. This was the payoff that we wished for - a payoff that should have been but B&B is just too stupid to do! Only they weren’t. They got it right. This is me saying this - the negative B&B “I’m over it” hater. They *ucking got it right! Who on EARTH would have ever thought? but also agree - I’ve preferred Thorsten in the role of Ridge except for GOD SHAVE already….but this? Was terrible. Was an opportunity for some very subtle disbelief. Confusion. This was a history making moment! In the history of the SHOW. and this was TANK-ola on his part. Phoned in meaningless acting. It is what it is. I never thought I’d believe someone saying “ it might as well have been Moss”. Jesus it’s true.

I don’t know if it’s true or not but I’ve read in a few places that one of them has “queer baited” before and it’s not true - and the kids is on his chin - that they do it for attention. Does make me wonder.

Why I cannot care about this show - I had it on while working in the background. So 2 things. I think I heard Bill say “just give me one chance” to Katie. Which we’ve all heard uttered to Katie before. And Brooke. And whoever. Yawn. “this is gonna sound crazy, but SHEILA IS ALIVE!” If I’m a character on the show (turns around)…takes swig of martini: ”And? Can you pass me that pipe and grinder please? Thanksomuch!”

Had to look her up, then I remembered her. I haven't watched a Tennis match I don't think since the U.S. Open maybe? Maybe there was one or two in the Fall, but I don't even remember honestly. The game is a mess. No wonder Tennis Channel is about to become Pickleball Channel.

I haven't watched for days - since I saw a scene with Brooke saying she didn't understand the breakup...and Donna helping Douglas with his phone, Thomas telling Douglas to delete it, leave it alone. What viewers should not expect is any resolution. Not any real one that addresses everything that happened. The same thing happened before with Beth/Phoebe...and Thomas trying to weasel back into Hope's life. Nothing was ever revealed about the lengths he went to (down to drawing family stick figure pictures for Douglas, and having Douglas present them as his own)....blah blah blah. The one thing I noticed a long time ago, was don't expect things to be addressed. Other examples - Quinn trying to kill Ally? Tried to shove her off the foot bridge when she said she was going to the police about Wyatt stealing the diamond. Thomas running Justin's niece down (who was she again??). The dude that owned the diamond who mysteriously died, with all the clues that it was Quinn about to kill him (or something) but left this valuable jewel to....Quinn....or was it Wyatt? A LOT on this show goes nowhere. It reminds me of Days with plot devices that just disappear. Other cringe moments - Ivy coming up on Steffy and Ally fighting...and ....you know, don't lay on your horn or anything to break it up. Or, by all means do NOT drive up right to them with your headlights on cause it looks like a fight...and these are your family members so you might want to break it up...? Nah, just VID-YO it. And then tell everyone about it, especially the TIE-YUH ION. LOL.

Me too. Above average skinny decent looking guy. Just a skinny taller version of Taylor Lautner for me. Who I still believe is the gay. Married or not. Another topic for another show as Oprah would say.

If I remember - she didn't want anything to do with the show actually. I remember some tweets or something where she trashed her time there, was over the character (the way she was written) - probably rightly so. I do feel like the latest version of Taylor is much better and possible Hunter Tylo would have embraced the role more as it's being written now. For me at least, Taylor was used as a plot device/pawn for several years. She was literally Steffy, maybe you could say Brad Bell was consistent with that between mother and daughter. Steffy was always on the outs when it came to Liam/Hope/Steffy. Taylor was always on the outs when it came to Brooke/Ridge/Taylor. As far as great looking men on Daytime, like it or not, I have to go with Jordi Vilasuso. Highly likely, Matt Bomer. Believe it or not, back in the day, and still - Robert Newman. Yes, I was a Guiding Light fan but it never ceased to amaze me when my ABC sisters were swooning over their hot men like Tony Geary on GH....they'd say Robert Newman was meh - he's OK. I'd literally fall out of my chair. That race wasn't even close for me. At the time I wanted to say - does it take a Gay man to tell you girls who is hot? Please.

I’ll get into trouble for saying this but - I grew up with sisters who were all ABC all the time and….alotttttttta actors they said were just soooooo hot. All the ABC fans did and you wanna talk about some 7’s outta 10’s??? Some of theirs - now true, while my opinion only butttttt. Roger Howarth (sp) with girls screaming to “rape me!” Tony Geary? Again just my opinion but to me they were struggling to be a 4 or 5 at best.

Lawrence. Has been the hottest for years for me.

I meant to tune in but forgot, busy with work. We’ve had years of crazy Thomas, stalker/obsession Thomas, mentally abusive Thomas, delusional Thomas, date rape Thomas, almost co55 ring Ken Thomas, Thomas draws kiddie pictures impersonating his son Thomas, mannequin loving Thomas….now voice app impersonating illegal child protective services Thomas — maybe it’s time for Incel Stacy’s Mom-hating Thomas. Lollll. I keep reading the arguments that he’s actually the very typical anti-hero but I dunno - I don’t see or get the “hero” part of the anti-hero. At some point there has to be something likeable aside from his chest and I ain’t seein’ it. The dastardly facial hair gives me homeless vibes. Maybe it’s time for Sheila to woo him with her missing toe to help move the ick factor along. The show with all of the annulments and next day marriages is so bad to me. Sorry y’all it’s just silly.

So - I disagree with a lot about Thomas - not a regular watcher and likely never will be again but - how many brain tumors and mental issues are ya gonna toss around? Sex with mannequins? Jeffrey Daumer the dude? It’s just a lot and - don’t care because he like Sheila will never end. It’s a yawner. And shall we go over the real requirements for an annulment? It’s an every other day event on this show. An annulment is actually more difficult than a divorce - and I know it’s lovely to suspend all reality but it’s just ridiculous at this point. Which one of them has an undisclosed STD? A formerly illegal divorce? Bigamy? Brooke and Ridge are actually brother and sister? Fraud - you tricked each other into marriage? These are the typical easier reasons for the quicky annulments. So. It’s great to be fun and stuff but - it gets into beyond stupid. Sigh.

If they were going to do a wash, rinse, repeat like they do with everything else, I'd actually tune in for Lauren. I saw the Halloween episode and have to say - it was far better than anything they've done in several years. I didn't watch B&B regularly when Lauren did her crossover, and it's weird to think....really Sheila has had more history now by far on B&B than on Y&R. But we still for some reason think of Sheila and Lauren on Y&R. It's battle that - if we're going to rehash the past - is a far better gamble than anything they've done lately. (YAWN: CRAZY Thomas, Liam/Hope/Steffy, Brooke/Ridge/Taylor, whose picture will be over the mantle at the Forrester mansion).....they'd be smart to have a lengthy story of Lauren getting revenge secretly behind Sheila's back. I'd tune in to see that. Have a group conspiracy to ferret out Sheila - with one big queen-pin in the background left for surprise - Quinn. Carefully planned over months and months and months and give viewers a PAYOFF.

I have not watched in ages. Maybe just a minute or two but I couldn’t name a story on this show - maybe back to when Dina left, saw some when Robert Newman was on but didn’t tune in regularly. I saw today’s show and have to say - impressive performances by Chelsea (MCE) and Billy (Jason). I’ve never cared for him as Billy and Chelsea has given me more pains than I can remember. But the scene today on the ledge were well done, well written and acted. I will likely tune in again now. It’s one thing about Y&R that has always been problematic for me - I never cared about the characters really. Suddenly I care about Chelsea again, and maybe even Billy.

I've donated - not much but about $200 to Mark Kelly in AZ - like I did before. Also $50 to Warnock. I know it's not much but...in these times...I chip in. But I am getting tired of the begging texts.

Oh wow. I learned something new today. I didn't know what a pendeja is. I wondered how to classify Marjorie and Lauren.

When I tuned in last week I posted about this. How many brain tumors is Thomas gonna have?

I tuned in a day or two for a few minutes and couldn’t get by the continuing fight for Ridge, Taylor running around Aspen in the slouchy hat looking like Steffy nearly 10 or 15 years ago in the fight for Liam. I did not understand at this point the fight over Ridge. Both Taylor and Brooke should have dropped it by now - what is the prize in Ridge? And the kids at 30 or 35 years old still pining for their parents’ love lives. Thomas back to being Thomas. How many brain tumors is he going to have?

Oh my. I didn’t see this. I thought - what’s the big deal except put some mustard on it at that short angle, and I’ve wondered why more people don’t just dink a ball away instead of crazy overheads - and it’s a fine play he was just lazy in not putting enough on it to scoot it in - and then bounce wide off the court and……..wait. He used the HANDLE of his racquet?! WTF LOLLLL

This was a great guess....I would not have thunk it. I don't know why, but it never occurred to me!

I might not have been as off base as I thought about the Quiet Quitting. LOL.

A couple of years ago, I figured when Roger retired it would be more along the lines of Monica Seles. And these days it seems to be more of the way of the world. Quiet Retirement. LOL. I wouldn't say Quiet Quitting, but.

So I dunno. I haven't checked in since the day that Deacon had the hot monkey sex with the unknown-but-obviously Sheila. The picture on the main page reminded me. That's just shark-jumping stuff right there. Ridiculous.
