OMG!

The Bold and The Beautiful: Crayon Coloring Edition! LOL. I wonder if we can expect a love triangle between Hope, Alexandria, and the cute newcomer on the playground.

I had B&B on as background noise, but gotta give props to the little ones for their performances. Unbelievable! Hope is becoming Mommy's Little Girl. Whether that is a good or bad thing...well, I'll leave that for you to decide.

LOL. What a great way to end this show.

Just entered my B&B week with Monday’s show.

Shocked that Ridge for once had a smart line to Jackie: “The reporters wanted to ask whether you will unveil a ‘Jackie’s Bedroom’-Line...” LOL!!!

Very good acting on all fronts, was also pleased that Jennifer Gareis got to play more than The [!@#$%^&*] © or The Slut © for a change and that Clarke at least confronted Thorne for his punch-down - if even short.

Those litte tykes were funny and cute. You already know they'll become rivals one day, fighting over the same man. LOL!

Is it just me, or is it weird watching Brooke and Taylor share cordial conversation while the kids have a play date? I guess as long as they're not fighting over the same man and Mama Steph isn't favoring one over the other, they can be cool with each other.

One day? I guess by summer they'll make the headlines. Both having a pre-school crush and becoming bitter enemies over their beau. LOL!

Too bad Dino is somehow related to Ally but I'm sure can swift that away pretty quickly. :lol:

Those Taylor & Brooke scenes were fabulous by the way. Still huge Twilight Zone factor but very much enjoyable. But nothing as good as Brooke keeping an eye on her children ond cooling off on the backburner...

Hunter Tylo meanwhile is running close to her 30th consecutive episode! Girl is getting no break - yet I don't feel an overexposure.

I seriously haven't even noticed. I know someone posted the episode count for last month, but other than that I wouldn't even have noticed, cause it doesn't even feel like it.

Brad Bell has one twisted mind. No he didn't re-do the whole Pacific Coast Highway Horror with poor little Alexandra?!? Talk about deja vu! I don't know who should be more traumatized. Ally or Taylor?

Jackie thought she got rid of Stephanie and decided to mosie on to Eric's. Just walked right in and made herself at home. And surprise, surprise, Mama Steph's watchdog Pam was there to keep her in check. I liked their little exchange. I think that Pam might have a little Steph inside of her. LOL!

Is anyone else annoyed by little Allie? Scratch that...is anyone else annoyed by the fact BabyBell has put such a young actress at the center of a storyline? What is that girl? 4? Sometimes I can barely understand what she's saying. Bell is insane to do it.

Sweet coincidence - ain't it?

Stephanie's instructions to Pam were also pricesless! Describing Jackie: "She's just some whore offering her hourly services to Eric..." LOL!!!

I loved it how Brad incorporated the young ones into this story. Both actresses are so cute and so talented. A pure joy! And B&B sure is age-neutral: Now we got a tyke frontburner along with the senior staff... Taylor & Thorne & Nick are the only middle-age people currently on the fore-front. Love it!

For the record: Hunter Tylo 32 episodes and counting since late November... She closes in on territory usually just reached by KKL or Ronn Moss. Susan Flannery’s record was at about 37 straight episodes or so in 2005.

That's the reason B&B is so unwatchable right now, way too much Taylor being shoved down our throats, and not enough Brooke.

I guess you’re not watching?

Because if you had seen Friday’s show you couldn’t say such nonsense. B&B will get an Emmy for Directing and Lighting for this episode alone. The final Crash-scene was spectacular.

Thorne walking through the fog, finally finding Ally. Taylor having a deja-vu before Ally suddenly appears on the street. Ally shockfrosted & screaming... Taylor hits the brakes, screaming... The lights get nearer on Ally - cue dramatic music. Cliffhanger...

That was FABULOUS!

Are you serious Sheilaforever? I saw the cliffhanger and yelled out "Oh my God." But not in the shocked, "Oh MY God" kinda way. It was more the "OMG, Brad Bell is pulling his stupid dramatic 'irony' bullsh!t yet AGAIN!"

Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't see it coming from a mile away. If there would have been a slight bit of element to the surprise.

Whenever I see those scenes, I don't see "Emmy." I see "cheesy!"

B&B Needs to stick with glossy fashion shows and showstoppers for their Emmy Submissions. Car crashes on foggy, dark soundstages are CLEARLY not their forte.

It's not as if we've ever seen this scenario before, just another repeat. Did Taylor get her lisence back when she got off from killing Darla?? Is it ok for Taylor to jump in a car and drive erratically every time she thinks someone is in danger?? Does she think she's above the law?? Oh yeah, I forgot, she can do no wrong. This show needs Brooke back and fast, because too much Taylor is slowing ruining the show.

As much as I miss the diminished presence of Brooke right now, that's not the problem. The problem is that after finally starting to crack the mythic "St. Taylor the Good", Bell has pulled his usual 180 and put her back on that pedestal. Taylor started out trying to finesse Nick in to giving back the company with her "therapy" that she made sure she didn't charge Nick for or meet with him in her office about. IOW, she was intent on tricking him and trying to do it without putting her psych license at risk.

Now that it's blown up spectacularly in her face, she's outraged that Steph overheard her private "session" notes, and that Thorne participated in the scheme. What the HELL???? She's a hypocrite. As long as she was working Nick, it was fine. Manipulation is manipulation, whether it's publicly or privately, sweetheart.

Oh, and when it was Taylor "going along with a scheme" back when she was married to Ridge and Brooke was the "mark" (the Italy trip when Ridge threw himself at Brooke to break up Brooke and Thorne)...that was perfectly okay.

    • It's not her favorite scent Nicole hit up the supermarket and they didn't have that pink bottle they flashed to last time Anita and Nicole were in that living room. 
    •   I think Darlene works as the 911 dispatch operator.
    • Luke and Darlene. It was mentioned that Luke is also on the police force so we might see him soon. I agree, if we see any scenes between Dana/Leslie and Kat in the coming weeks it will further fuel my babyswitch theory.
    • Yeah, they have my sympathies but this only works as high camp.  I dunno, have her angrily febreeze her room or SOMETHING (ok that's not much better but...)
    • This crap will not age well when we look back. There's one thing to be subtle, but you're taking any emotion out of the storyline and scene when you have a broken character picking up a Febreeze can and reminiscing about it like it meant something.  They gotta get better at this.

      Watching this right now, BC mentions that Samantha and Tyrell were initially 6 and 7, but aged up for technical reasons. Also MM initially auditioned for Derek.
    • And now Guiding Light continues... Mike, following a new lead, finds a man in Redding,California, who claims to be Clint Pearson, but Mike is sure he is Spence Jeffers, especially when Pearson threatens Mike if he doesn’t stop the investigation. Mike returns with Ann, who identifies Pearson as Jeffers. Pearson has just married a woman who owns a restaurant with him. Realizing that he can’t deny his identity to Ann, Jeffers tells her that Jimmy died in Alaska over a year ago. Ann is devastated, but Mike feels Jeffers is lying about this too. When they can find no record of Jimmy’s death, Ann’s hope is restored.  Desperate to keep his new wife, Mae, from learning about his shady past, Jeffers comes to Springfield and offers Ann “the truth” about Jimmy in exchange for a quick divorce and no bigamy charges. When Ann assumes that this means’ Jimmy is alive. Jeffers tells her no, but he didn’t report the boy’s death because they were fishing in a remote area and there was no one around for days after the accident. Mike and Leslie decide to plan for a child of their own. When Mike tells Leslie he’s up for the post of County Commissioner and he wants to take her on an exotic vacation, she delightedly informs him that she’s the happiest and luckiest woman in the world, because she belongs to him! Later, while Leslie is out, Jeffers arrives at the Bauers’, drunk. Ann arrives, and Spence tries to bribe her to drop the bigamy charge. Mike and Jeffers fight, and Mike is knocked out. Scared and cornered, Jeffers charges out, and as he speeds out of the driveway, Ann hears a terrible scream. Leaving Mike, still unconscious, Ann finds that Leslie has been struck down by Jeffers’s car, and Jeffers has disappeared. Ann summons an ambulance for Mike and Leslie. Mike, regaining consciousness, is told about his wife. The Bauer family and friends gather to pray while Leslie is in surgery. When she finally comes out of the anesthesia, Mike is allowed in to see her. She tells him again of her love for him and for her son, Freddy (by Ed Bauer, her first husband). Not more than a few seconds after Mike leaves her side, Leslie’s heart stops beating. Dr. Joe Werner tries frantically for over twenty minutes to revive her, but, as he and Ed knew from the first, nothing could have saved Leslie. On the day of the funeral—ironically, also the day of their anniversary—Mike receives a package by messenger: a card from Leslie, reading “Happy Anniversary, Darling,’ and the gift, a watch engraved “Love Always, Leslie 6-18-76.” Mike then realizes that he hadn’t even bought a gift for her. When, as they are to leave for Leslie’s funeral,Barbara tells Holly she doesn’t want to go with Peggy and Roger, Holly angrily attacks her mother for using Leslie’s funeral as another excuse to show her hatred of Roger. As Holly accuses her of selfishness in not accepting the situation, as everyone else has, Barbara begins to see she is ruining her own life and her marriage with her self-pity and blind bitterness. Barbara swallows her pride and apologizes to Roger. A few days later, Mike reinvolves himself in the search for Jeffers and Jimmy. Mike informs Ann of a possible lead, a place called Hagen’s Lane, and when Ann disappears the following day, Mike suspects she’s gone there herself and follows her. Ann finds Jeffers there, drunk and in possession of a shotgun. When Mike arrives, Jeffers shoots him in the leg and prepares to escape to Canada after dark. During the waiting hours Mike appeals to Jeffers’s conscience. He assures Jeffers he knows that the killing he was involved  in Alaska was an accident, as was Leslie’s death. Seeing Jeffers wavering between fright and remorse, Mike describes what lies ahead for Jeffers: a life of running, more mistakes, more regrets. Mike promises that Jeffers will get a fair trial if he turns himself in. He tells him he is a good man with rotten luck. Jeffers cannot believe Mike is doing this; after all, he must be bitter about Leslie. Mike doesn’t deny his bitterness, but explains that for his wife’s sake he must help Jeffers pay his debt to society. The man in Alaska was twenty-three years old; Leslie was twentyseven. They are dead, their chance at life gone, but no one can help them now. Jeffers will lose ten years or so of his life in prison, but he must do it. Jeffers weakens. He slumps over a table, crying, “I’m so tired of running.” He then admits that Jimmy is alive and living with relatives and, already showing his penitence, helps Mike to the car. Tim makes a last-ditch attempt to win Rita back and, failing, goes out to get drunk. He later shows up again, asking her help in sobering up, as he’s been called back to Cedars for an emergency. Infuriated by Tim’s late arrival, Steve threatens to fire him. Realizing |that it’s her fault, Rita asks Ed to reconsider, not to harm Tim’s career because of her. Ed takes this into consideration and gives Tim until September to prove he’s worthy of the senior residency. Pam ‘Chandler, who became infatuated with Tim after he saved her and her daughter Samantha when Pam developed toxemia late in her pregnancy, has come to realize that Tim doesn’t see her that way. She informs Peggy that David, Samantha’s father, has written her and she’s leaving Springfield to live near him. There may be a chance for a marriage after all. Roger is upset that his new family is living in cramped quarters because he’s obligated to pay Holly back a loan she made to save his skin last year. Roger | calls on Rita and reminds her that she promised him a share of her inheritance from her rich employer inTexas. Rita claims she can’t give him anything now-her mother is ill and medical expenses are mounting. Mrs. Stapleton is suffering from frequent fainting spells, and Ed is treating her. Bert plans a joint birthday party for Ed and Christina, hoping to get Ed and Holly together to talk. Just as they do, as he blames himself for neglecting her and she regrets ever becoming involved with Roger, Ed is summoned to Rita’s home. Her mother has passed out again. Holly now realizes she wants to stop the divorce, but won’t do it without Ed’s approval. She leaves a message with the answering service to have him call. Rita, knowing the divorce is almost final, steps up her involvement with Ed and Freddy, and when the service calls Ed at her house, she “forgets” to tell him. From Bert Ed learns that Holly has been trying to reach him, and he arranges to talk to her the next day at work (she’s now Steven Jackon’s secretary), but Mrs.Stapleton becomes critical and ed is in surgery all morning.When Mike later stops by to inform Holly the divorce has gone through she maintains her composure until he is gone, then breaks down in tears, sobbing, “No! No!” Ed later learns from Rita that Holly’s call came to her, but, she explains, she forgot in the worry over her mother. When Ed tells Holly of Rita’s “oversight,” she doesn’t tell him why she was trying to reach him. Rita now volunteers to help Ed study for his neurosurgery medical board. Her assistance is helpful, and he’s grateful. Holly is hurt at seeing how cleverly Rita is insinuating herself into Ed’s life. Tim, having buckled down and proven himself,wins the senior residency, and takes Rita’s younger sister, Evie, to dinner to celebrate. More to come...  
    • I wondering why she went back there too. I wish Dani hadn't interrupted she and Nicole. Nicole seemed empathetic towards Eva for a second.
    • I felt so sorry for the actress...  What was her motivation? I usually like a good dream/fantasy sequence, but so far am not too impressed with any BTG has had...
    • Amen.   LMAO!!! All I take from that...and the NEXT WEEK promo from Friday...is that they will probably FINALLY reveal who it is this week.    THIS.
