Well, I may have looked down there, but needed to qualify it - since if you do such things and don't love Kimberlin Brown we're apparently just looking for porn.

It’s laughable to me since he’s lucky to have ever worked or he literally would have been that “wait who was the guy who was in Player? Wait was that the band’s name?” Guy. He woulda been that guy. He honestly ranted on behalf of Susan also. That’s as icky as his scarfy dirty man bun needs to shave look. In the other pic of RJ and (Luna?)? Since I may also have looked down there - I then looked over and saw Luna’s Amazon quality boots that do not go with that outfit - awful. Put her in some Dr. martens combat boot - maybe one with the embroidered rose - something to indI ate young retro fashion)….

I’ve known nothing really about this one other than I thought - you just don’t let this happen - she’s guilty. But Chris Evert X’d or tweeted or whatever - that she believes she’s innocent. Mentioned that (I think) put her trust in a trainer that failed her. I’m interested now.

Has there ever been mention of - how many organs Eric will need or why the blood needs to be cleansed? What’s the experimental treatment for?? That master Doctor Finn will do - what? Or has the show indeed reached the point of - it’ll just be a brain transplant that Sheila will perform after she opens the door to the Forrester basement where she has a room full of Sheila look alike robots who use AI to turn back time, and then Sheila is actually Lauren and …..

I have no idea what people are seeing at this point. She’s never been anything better than mediocre. I’ve said for years she’s Stefano and I never watched DAYS, ironically I think she was involved with the same actor here - but I stopped watching during that period because it was clear to me that for some reason B&B was determined to follow Y&R and have it become the Sheila show and there would be no explanation to anything she ever does with plot holes everywhere and you just are expected to forget and move on. And no - for some reason some people do not see the awful squinting and reverting to the exact same dialogue that has been said for decades. Kimberlin has shown her ability - wonderful. NO CHARACTER is worth the stupidity. Aside - I saw the end yesterday- what does Eric need transplanted and why? There seems to have been explanations I missed. What’s the disease and need for blood transfusions and blood cleansing and transplants of what? What’s the guy’s problem? I missed it. Is everyone going to be shocked when the match for blood and all organs is Sheila!!!? Wow!!? Loll Whatever - but whatever transplants better come from family members (or Sheila of course) because at nearly 90 years old, you’re not going to be on transplant lists. Eric needs a brain? Heart plus lungs? One kidney and a liver?

I so hope Finn can save Eric! What a nail biter! Gag. The problem with Sheila is that too much attention has been given to her and two shows have allowed themselves to be eaten by the character with no explanation and frankly - I no longer care about what Sheila did to anyone and I don’t care because all of the characters were written to be stupid. And I don’t know how we got to a place that people would think Kimberlin Brown was worth all of this. I don’t care about a Feelaya, Pheloa or a Sarah or Sugar or any of those people. If you’re going to write a story for two shows it can’t be 30 years later. The Sheila ship needed to be introduced to a good iceberg 15 years ago.

I saw the last 7 or 8 minutes - I guess we would know if Susan Flannery was going to appear in the great white and tell Eric to please go back through the light to Donna. We don’t want you here yet. Lollll

The little I’ve seen, that’s it in a nutshell. It’s fine to be free wheeling and write the show with bed hopping and marriages by the week, annulments the next week, - and on to the next. On this show it’s by the week. Sure, if that’s the show you want. Don’t be surprised that the viewers change - to expect surface level only and the reactions and emotional heartstrings aren’t there. But this is the result. You reap what you sew and there’s no thought - why should the viewers care? And we had the “last party” with Stephanie. It’s old hat. This sours viewers more when you drag this out then - oops - Eric really just has long haul Covid and a hangnail, y’all! Thank GOD! Woo hoo! Someone mentioned Katie. Has she cried and gone into hysterics recently? No? She will, they need to give her Emmy reel material. Anyone that got an Emmy after about 2005 to 2010 needs an asterisk next to it (*90% of the really good actors and actresses who were in this category were the victim of a cancelled show). I try to remember there’s people on the other end of the role, but honestly - they’ve gotten a good life out of it. They phone it in 50% of the time or more. Like people I work with that still Take up salary budget but are on vacation 3 months out of the year. John will be fine I’m sure but Bold has churned out crap for years. It deserves what it gets.

I haven't seen the show since I posted in the November thread, but - what I mentioned is that - I feel like the reason you're seeing the ambivalence in general feelings toward Eric - I still feel, he was not developed. We just don't care about the character all that much. He was just always a philandering dress designing fashion house owner - and that's.....kind of it. I've never felt sympathy for him. I don't know why, but I'm confident we don't get the warm and fuzzies about Eric, because we just don't truly care about an underdeveloped character. I'll go to other shows as examples. The one I know best, which is - and always will be IMO on another level when it comes to developing characters. And you can tell, because we adjusted to new actors or actresses in the role - because we loved the character(s). Alan Spaulding, Ed Bauer, Can't imagine people screaming that they want them "gone" and just die already. Played by numerous actors. But the character was such a part of the show, it didn't necessarily matter who played them. Yes, we had our favorites. We didn't want the character dead and gone. Blake. Pretty much grew to love every actress because that character was born into a whopper of a situation and little Chrissy had to navigate having a strong anti-hero as a Dad with people constantly judging her. And she embraced becoming the wild cat. Dinah, almost ditto - we ended up growing to love the actress that stepped in because - what a character. There are other examples on shows I didn't even watch. Alexandra - my opinion but I didn't dislike any actress that played her. I loved every one of them. Beverlee McKinsey was the gold standard, but I didn't dislike when Marj Dusay played her nor even Joan Collins - she BROUGHT it in that short time in the role. But we LOVED Alexandra as a character. Another World and Vicky/Marley - played by different actresses but that character "had it together" to sustain it. In support of what I'm saying - so legendary that I didn't even watch AW and I know this.

I tuned in for 5 minutes - and it's another "Eric's Journey to Death" day. Carter talking about it. Flippo Change-o channel-o. And I watched Golden Bachelor last night and I cannot stop using the word 'journey'.

Well God yes I'd want Sheila gone first but they're never going to do it. But I caught about 5 weird minutes of Li with Poppy or - it's her sister. But anyone she's around, Li is irritated by or she fights or she's -- despisable. I don't even know why she's suddenly crazy not-so-rich asian woman on the edge. Bad Santa!

I haven't seen much to be honest - in weeks. This month. But I feel like I've seen a couple of very touching moments with Eric/John M. - and then a few days later, we regress, repeat dialogue, and get to the exact same moment again. And again. I don't think this is a way to send out a long term actor and character. But then again, I also don't agree with making Scott Clifton become 'cray' as Liam. He's delivered and made some sow's ear dialogue and material look like cotton. I won't say turned sow's ear into silk because NOTHING on this show is silk. But I'm just not into the redemption of Thomas and Hope, and the few minutes I saw of Li one day made her absolutely despisable to me. I didn't think I'd want Sheila to kill off any additional characters, and she will be the last standing on any show she infects - but Li can go. For me it's the difference in B&B and other shows that I truly loved over the years. There are just no loveable characters on this show and it sticks out like a sore thumb. We don't really care that Eric is dying because honestly - he was never a developed character - 30 or 40 years and - never truly developed. He really never loved any of the women he was with, just like all the men on this show. It's like "On to the NEXT!" with all of the characters on this show and who they sleep with and "marry". Then it's divorce, marriage to someone else and pregnant the very next week. It makes people not care. That's what you're seeing with Eric. There's no explanation to his "disease", and B&B is masterful at just saying people are dying and it's just so offhanded and emotionless. Who cares?

I just started following this GL Instagram - they post some good clips! https://instagram.com/guidinglightcbs?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==

I had to leave Twitter (X?) - I don't know how the influencing works - I sound old. But I guess the more followers you get the more clicks you get, somehow the more money you make. So - there are "personalities" on Twitter/X whatever - that all they do is scour the Internet and make crazy flaming statements every single day - and get people arguing. It's all fake to me at this point. And people really are deplorable. After Matthew Perry passed - there were all kinds of posts from all of those characters about his 'fishy' death or "sounds suspect to me!" MUST HAVE an INVESTIGATION! This is VACCINE related YOU CAN BET! ALL DEEP STATE! It's sick and it's just enough at this point. I don't want censorship but something has to be done at this point. People just go on there, get their base of followers fired up over - speculation, and LIES. And WHO does that sound like? Several months ago I started responded to these types of trolls in regard to other posts, and their responses by and large - they would reply to me. "HAHAHAHA! You have 91 followers! You're a BOT! HAHAHAHA! " or "You're NO INFLUENCER so YOU DON'T MATTER!" It's scary and it's menacing and it's all bullshi* to me. And - to me, how many "followers" a person has just means you're engaging in trying to form a cult of people following you. It's cultish to me and I'm not interested. When I SAID THAT, their response was - "you're an IDIOT! the WHOLE POINT of SOCIAL MEDIA is to GET FOLLOWERS! and YOU DON'T MATTER!" That is what will destroy this world. The idea that just because someone is loud and obnoxious that they THINK their opinion counts more than others, or they're somehow more valuable. So sad to see, and it's sick. I hope his family is OK and I hope they turn OFF social media.

I know I'm in the minority, but I liked the twins from 2 fathers storyline. And they should have told it, and left it alone. I think in the end it turned out not to be true? Because Annie switched tests or something? Which - I don't even remember a motive for Annie to do such a thing. Maybe my memory isn't correct, but I thought the curly haired Frederick should have remained Rick's child, and the other one Ross's son.

I missed all of that the first time around but read about it here. And I heard him mention the stapler incident (didn't see it when it happened). They'll have Ridge give Eric a stapler at some point - easy. "Here. I know how much it meant to you, I guess. This belongs to you."

Well I saw today - midway through til the end. It was bad. Did Pam die? I wondered why Charlie was available and giddy. The delay on RJ telling Brooke..."grandad....is......is.........he's......dying." Ker plunk. Is this supposed to be the most shocking news ever? Carter staring blankly at Ridge as he semi-gloats....I mean, does anyone not know what's going to happen? I feel like at least.....they could have had it be a fan vote of the show (that I didn't even see)....but what if there was a fan vote, combined with orders received for the gowns as to who the winner was. And just from what I saw..... The winner was Ridge. Until Carter points out - the Countess cancelled her order. And fan vote was squarely on Eric's side anyway....it was orders from stores and large buyers that had Ridge in the game....but when they look at also - what fans and the end buyers actually want, it was Eric. Or something like that. At least. I dunno. Blah

I have completely missed all of it. But - the fashion show flop thing has happened for awhile. Remember the big show in Monaco wherever they were - Sally Spectra vs. Steffy? And then it was Bill engineered the big cheat because Sally actually won - so he had to say "everyone is a winner, so why choose one?" After all of that. Flop. And they never addressed it. The continuity on this show and just dropping things has been a staple for years now - it makes 'none of it matter.'

Almost since the beginning - the majority look cheap. Then of course the years of Quinn's beautifully crafted jewelry - and it was some AB crystals and plastic.

This is so odd but I haven't seen it this week and I at least would catch 5 minutes. And I had kind of waited for the fashion show. Meh. The couple of times I saw the doctor delivering the news over and over and over about Eric's still mystery disease? Or did they ever say what it even is? Then the yawner of "he's dying". God, we all are and dude is like 85 or 90. Of course he's dying. LOL. Whether by a strange disease or other - we're ALL DYING but he's 85 or 90. Meh. I'm so callous.

I saw a little on Friday and it’s clear the plan to redeem Sheila is to have Li go over the top with her hatred so that Sheila looks helpless - ew. I’d rather have Li murder the psychotic squinting nutso psychotic 9 toed thundercunt.

I catch about 10 minutes total a week and only know what I know from reading really. But - why would someone on the other end of the phone - the girl Luna's introduction....or at least I hadn't seen her before. But someone on the other end of the phone kept saying to stay away from the Forresters. STAY AWAY from the Forresters. What would the Forresters have to do with Jack Abbott or why would Li care that this Luna girl is at Forrester....if it's because she's somehow Jack's daughter. That doesn't make a reason for her to "stay away" from the Forresters. I must have missed something. Honestly, I think they should make Li like Carmen Santos from GL. Controlling over her son. Honestly, this is a chance to rid ourselves of Sheila. Let Li become the new villainess but she at least has a chance of being an "anti-heroine" rather than straight up villain. Sheila is too far gone, but with some tweaking and meddling, Li could become that person/take on that role without all of the over-the-top Stefano DiMeara disbelief you have to have with Sheila.

I missed it but....the FC office, EVERY office. She was shacking up in the back room of Bill's office on the regular behind Katie's back. Or was it the other way around? But Brooke loves it in office buildings.

Oh wow. They bothered. 3 of the 4 will be gone by Spring - if that long. Actually that would be a really really long time. I say February. Sheila will still be there though.

Someone has to do the writing, I DID catch that. Would have been even better if he'd said something like = wax on and off about all the protecting you're gonna do. Or - this isn't Karate Kid Deacon.
