Count me in as another person who is really digging them together and their potential as a couple. They are cute together and have really nice chemistry. I am enjoying their scenes together, like the one from today's show.

Bold and Beautiful June 2021 Discussion
I enjoyed today's episode, especially the water birth scenes. I thought they were very romantic and intimate. A much better experience for Steffy than what she had with Liam, who dumped her crying while she was heavily pregnant with Kelly. The circumstances surrounding that pregnancy were pretty rough for her, and I liked that this was a much happier one for her. Finn is very loving towards and while we don't know all about his background yet, I think he's a much better man than Liam. For Steffy and in general.

GH: RIP Stuart Damon :(
May Stuart Rest in peace. He was a talented actor and Alan was an interesting character. He definitely shouldn't have been killed off the show. Also, I loved him as Prince Charming in the 60's version of Cinderella that also featured Lesley Ann Warren. Of all of the tv/movie versions of Cinderella, that I've ever seen that is my favorite.

Y&R Actor returns
I wonder if they they might be doing this, because maybe they are having a hard time recasting/deciding what to do about Chance. I did hear rumors that might be the case. I think that Stitch was probably Abby's best pairing. Definitely one of her better ones. Maybe they will try and rekindle things with them.

Soap Vet Joins Bold and Beautiful as Finn's Father!!!
I'm glad to see Ted King back on soaps again. I enjoy him as an actor. I'm glad they are bringing Finn's parents to town and I wonder what type of backstory he will have. Reports are saying it's "dramatic".

Y&R June 2021 Discussion Thread
I agree that she really does have a great presence in those photos Taoboi. I hope she stays around. I also hope you get a chance to catch up or at least get the opportunity to see all of her/Amanda's family scenes. 🙂 I hope that people are still posting episodes online. In the past Canadian fans have done that. They also post scenes on Twitter too.

Y&R June 2021 Discussion Thread
I enjoyed seeing Imani and Nate meet today during their brief interaction. I saw chemistry there and I do think that they would make a gorgeous couple. I could see them fitting together better than him and Elena. Elena hasn't treated him that well IMO. Imani is so pretty, I love the way they style her. I know some of us have mentioned how poorly some of the women on B&B are dressed especially Zoe. They could take a page from Y&R and how they style Imani. That picture of her posted by Taboi in this thread was really nice and I love these other looks from her as well: Very pretty lady and she's interesting. I think that the show did a good job of casting her as Amanda/Hilary's sister. I am interested in seeing more of her, and Amanda's family.

Y&R May 2021 Discussion Thread
Regarding Lily and Moses here is another picture from people magazine of them with Devon: This is a nice picture of all of Neil's children together. I am looking forward to seeing Lily interact with Moses. I could see her being protective of him and them being close. I am really enjoying Moses. He is a sweet kid.

Freeform: Cruel Summer Discussion Thread (may include spoilers if you haven't seen episodes).
I agree victoria foxton (for some reason I am unable to quote your post) that both girls are interesting and have layers to them. I think that Jeanette in particular is very interesting and I am really enjoying the young actress's portrayal of her. I also wonder what role Jeanette plays into things. I don't think she orchestrated Kate's disappearance. I do wonder if maybe she noticed that Kate was getting closer to Martin the principal and maybe didn't reveal that information to other people including the police. I think that Kate/Martin ended up developing some type of relationship. I wonder if it started out as a friendship and he became obsessed with her wanting, more and held her captive after she rejected him. I do think they had some sort of bond that went south. Maybe Jeanette saw them spending time together a few times, but never told anyone about that after Kate disappeared. I also think that Jeanette enjoyed getting with Kate's boyfriend, bonding with her friends, and didn't like those relationships being threatened after Kate reappeared. I think that reasons like these may be why she's coming off as suspicious. I also wonder why she took up with Kate's friends and why she abandoned her old friends. Kate's friends seemed a bit snobby (though Kate is nice), so I wonder what led to Jeanette befriending them and vice versa. And especially turning her back on her old friends, who really cared about her, especially Vincent. As far as Kate goes, I think she may not completely be telling the truth about when she possibly saw Jeanette and/or her relationship with Martin. I think she did end up having some sort of relationship with Martin, but maybe is ashamed to say that (even if it was only friendship on her end), due to him abducting, torturing her. I also wonder what the story is behind her finding Jeanette's bracelet. I think she may have found that bracelet after she was rescued but might be telling people a lie about when she found it.

B&B: Actress Exits
I wish the actress well but I will not miss her character. I wonder if they will end up recasting. Either way I hope Carter continues to get some air time.

Freeform: Cruel Summer Discussion Thread (may include spoilers if you haven't seen episodes).
I decided to put this over here, because I think it's on Hulu too. But I watched the first two episodes this morning. I think this is a pretty good show and I wanted to create a discussion thread for anyone else that is watching it/will watch it. https://www.freeform.com/shows/cruel-summer/video/most-recent/vdka22652032 Here is a link to watch the first two episodes free if you'd like. Feel free after watching it to discuss you thoughts and speculations here about the mystery on this show: https://www.freeform.com/shows/cruel-summer Here are some of my thoughts/some discussion regarding the first two episodes. I like that that this show is set during a certain era/decades I have enjoyed shows like that in the past especially Fox's Reunion. Reunion was set over the course of like 20 years from like 1986-2005. It was a good show that showcased how the lives and stories developed for the cast of characters that started out as teens, but it was cancelled after one season. I like how Cruel Summer is set over the course of three summers in the 90's (93-95) and how two different teens lives are turned upside down when one is abducted, remerges and accuses the other teen of not helping her. I think that the two teen female leads are doing a good job so far of portraying their characters. Especially the young actress Chiara Aurelia that plays Jeanette. I think she does a good job of making Jeanette sympathetic, and multidimensional as she goes through three very different changes as a person over the course of the three summers. I initially thought I wouldn't be that sympathetic to Jeanette and that maybe she is guilty of what the other young lady Kate accuses her of. But after watching the show I can definitely see her side of things and wonder if Kate is bending the truth about some things. I also like Olivia Holt as Kate, the pretty popular teen that was abducted. I think that she is doing a nice job as well in her role and I like that Kate isn't a stereotypical mean girl. She is genuinely likeable and friendly and I believe that under other circumstances her and Jeanette could have been friends. The show jumps between the three years but I like how they do it and don't find it jarring. Plus the different moods/different stylings of the girls help people determine what year it is relatively quickly. I also like the nostalgia of how things were in the 90's especially since I grew up during that decade. I do have questions right off the bat like what happened to Jeanette's mom and if Kate had some sort of friendship with her abductor before she was abducted. I don't think it's as cut and dry as he just abducted her. I think she may have been building a friendship with him and he became/grew more obsessed with her. I have some other questions as well like where did Jeanette's mom go? She's not there in summer 95, but her dad has a new lady, played by Brooklyn Sudano. I am interested in seeing where this show goes and how some of the questions end up being answered.

I'm glad he was found guilty and is headed to prison where he belongs.

The Black Lives Matter Thread
I'm telling you. He needs to be convicted even if it's on one of the lesser charges. Though I definitely hopes he gets the maximum punishment. If not, yikes. It will be worse than it was the first time around after people saw him kill George. Businesses will burn, people will probably get hurt, maybe even die. We don't need that, Derek Chauvin needs to go to prison.

YR BB April sweeps
It's still Walnut Grove. Moses had mentioned he will be attending there. I wonder if they will start adding more kids to the teen set. I am really enjoying Moses and his interactions with Devon, Nate, and Faith. Also, with Amanda too. I would like to see him in scenes with Lily, though I'm not sure when that will happen. She is supposed to interact with Devon next week so maybe she will see Moses then.

Y&R April 2021 Discussion Thread
I am really enjoying the new Moses. He is delightful and very cute. He definitely comes across as a real and good teenage boy. He has good chemistry with Devon and Nate. I enjoy seeing him bond with them, especially Devon. It was nice to see him and Devon bond more about Neil and Devon trying to help him learn more about Neil, by telling him more about his love for Jazz music on today's episode. I am also enjoying him with Faith. I am looking forward to seeing him interact with Lily and I hope that is soon. I could see them being close and her being protective, mama-ish towards her baby brother (like a lot of big sisters are towards considerably younger siblings).

Here are some scenes/pics of Moses interacting with Devon/Nate tomorrow. He showed up today and interacted with Faith and Nate some.

The Politics Thread
If you want a good laugh look at this (if you haven't already). Shannon Watts on Twitter: "Montana: Where our meth is homegrown and always has less than 30 percent purity. 🇺🇸" / Twitter Wow, lol. This is reminiscent of the slogan that South Dakota had about it, that had some of us cracking up in this thread a while back.

Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread
I'm glad to hear that you are getting your vaccination Taoboi. 🙂 I'm glad to hear your mom is getting vaccinated as well. Make sure you drink plenty of liquid like water and maybe some sports drink (like Body Armour) before getting your shot. And definitely do that after getting your second shot. I hope things will go well for you. I'm also glad to hear you got your vaccine as well Soapsuds 🙂 and didn't have any serious side effects. My dad also got his second Moderna shot almost a couple of weeks ago and thankfully didn't have any serious side effects.

Legacy Character Returning To YR

Oh no, ANOTHER Mass Shooting in the U.S. SMH
My heart definitely goes out to the victims and their family/friends of this attack and what they are going through. It is shameful that this keeps happening in America and at the very high rate that it does. Dave Chappelle said it best when he mentioned how COVID19 was keeping murderous mass shooting scums at bay. It's a shame people have to trade starting to get COVID under control into going back to being fearful of being involved in a mass shooting. Sickening. Be careful everyone when you go out and in general, becuase the mass shooters are starting to come back out again.

Harry and Meghan Interview with Oprah
I know some people at other sites earlier were guessing Phillip but I felt it wasn't him. Henry has spoken warmly of him warmly (even before the interview) when he said that him, Meghan, the Queen and Archie all do zoom together. And now he came out quickly today to say it wasn't him or the Queen. It's something that Harry hasn't absolved anyone else from these comments. I wonder if multiple people made comments, I wouldn't be surprised if they did. Charles for all of his faults did seem genuinely happy at the wedding for Henry/Meghan so maybe it wasn't him. While there have always been reports that William has shown some disapproval towards Harry/Meghan's relationship/courtship from the beginning. I definitely think it could be someone that was close to Harry in the family. If it was someone not as close like the relative who wore the brooch or an uncle or something, I think he might have absolved his immediate family members from that report. But he hasn't and that makes me wonder.

Harry and Meghan Interview with Oprah
I wonder if they will put out more smear articles about Meghan. Or if they will actually show at least a little contrition after last night's interview. I wouldn't be surprised if they largely went with more smear articles. I thought it was pretty clear after looking at last night's interview, that Harry/Meghan mostly wanted emotional support from their family. Especially after Meghan started getting attacked by the press. But really didn't get that. I was a bit surprised at how miffed Henry seemed at Charles. I thought he seemed pretty miffed/disappointed in Charles. He seemed more upset when asked about Charles than he was when he was asked about William. Even though William is the one that the press keeps saying he has big issues with. It sounds like he feels that Charles really let him down and left him hanging out to dry, especially with the way he let it drop that Charles stopped taking his phone calls. And then when Oprah asked him later if Charles was taking his phone calls he goes "Yeah.... but in a "not much type" of way. I remember seeing articles from the press making it seem like Charles had Harry/Meghan's back and would help provide for them. But it doesn't seem like that is the case with Harry also mentioning that his family cut him off in early 2020. That's once again an example of the press saying one thing about the family and that being contradicted by Harry/Meghan.

Harry and Meghan Interview with Oprah
The royal firm/media have presented of much their "side" again and again by constantly smearing Meghan. It's not like they have been silent since Harry/Meghan have been together and all of sudden Harry/Meghan started going after them after they left the UK. They have published many negative stories about her, prior to that. I definitely believe Meghan/Harry more than the others in the royal firm/British media. The Royal firm seem to have serious issues and have had them for years, long before Harry/Meghan got together. There is definitely a lot wrong with the way they run things as evidenced by things like they way they have managed various scandals, they have had/are currently having. They should be more concerned about what Prince Andrew has done instead of worrying about stuff like a baby's skin color, which is deplorable behavior. Harry seemed genuinely disgusted when that moment was brought up again by Oprah. And I don't blame him, I would be upset if someone talked about my child like that. I find it interesting how Harry/Meghan said the exact opposite of things happened than what the media/family allowed people to think. Kate making her cry instead of the other way around, them not receiving financial support from the family after they left, (Though I remember reading reports that Charles would support them). Or reports that Harry/Meghan didn't want Archie to have a title, but they stated they wouldn't have minded that. And would have been fine with it, if it meant he had security. And other stuff that goes directly against what the British media/family lead people to believe. I don't think that Harry/Meghan would outright lie about things like that. If anybody want to believe more of what the royal family/media is saying over H&M you can do as you want. But I think that a lot really stinks here and I think it's coming more from their direction not Harry/Meghan. Anyway, overall I thought last night was a really good interview. Before it aired I thought it might be a bit more lightweight, but Oprah really delved into some serious subjects and I thought it was really good. I'm glad that Meghan/Harry got away and seem to much happier and at peace. I think they are beautiful and lovely family.
