I could barely stomach Babe lecturing Bianca today. As if she had any room to stand on a sopa box which she is so soiled by lies. :rolleyes:

Josh continues to be a bore in his stalker role. You would think he's osme 40 year old virgin which explaims why he is snifing after Pine Valley's easiest lay.

Speaking of Babe, yet again, the show is TOO much about her. She is in every scene or at the very leas talked about. I found the ending to be quite cheesy with Zoe/Zarf begging for her help. Listen to Donald, Zarf. Don't get in the mud with pigs!

Not feeling the Babe knows all, Bianca is wrong for the way she thinks. GMAB!

When Winnefred came in and told JR he had a visitor, I thought to myself, oh I hope its Kendall, then immediatly "yeah right" came to mind. I gasped when she walked in the room. Maybe unpopular opinion but I have always enjoyed JR and Kendall together and wish the rift would stop. I know what he did was wrong, yada yada, hey if people can forgive Tad for the MMM, then JR and Kendall can be salvaged.

Jonathan discussing his anger with Annie, I like the fact that he knows he feelings were wrong.

I stopped reading spoilers in hopes that it could make me enjoy the show more, but it doesn't always help.

I think JR should be recast with an actor that's actually... likeable? :unsure: I've said this with some friends, that Jacob Young's portrayl is sooooo one note, as if JR's got a permanent barbed rod shoved up his ass. Even when he's given insults, he snarls them and shouts them, instead of making them enjoyable the way Vincent Irizarry did with his Chandler/Martin insults, or the way Lucci does with her insults toward Babe or ex-Brooke.

I am so tired of this storyline turning into All About Babe and Her Stalker... and a serial killer, too. :unsure:

I don't think it is out of character for Kendall to forgive anyone. She had so much hatred for Erica and Greenlee for so long, and their relationships changed. I do realize that what JR did was made him totally off his rocker, but hey it's OMO. Stranger things have happened on soaps. Especially this one.

I like Jacob Young as JR and disagree about his performance. He's great at showing the vulnerability and pain behind the hurtful words and actions, imo.

I think Kendall should forgive JR since she knows how irritating Babe can be and she must have wanted to kill the [!@#$%^&*] before, too. I also really liked the Kendall/JR friendship. If the 2 of them teamed up, Babe wouldn't stand a chance!

At least Bianca maintained her hatred of Babe in today's episode. I hope she never forgives her.

LOL...I love my girl Kendall. To Babe "Your nothing but a stupid, pathetic, criminal loving b-tch"

Another great line. Bianca to Babe "When will you stop beleiving everyone's BS" Hard to do Binks when Babe still continues to believe her own BS. I do have to admit that Babe caught her when she said that accepting Zoe was no different than Babe instantly accepting Binks

Why are you attacking me? I thought SON was a place where we can freely express our opinions without being attacked and told that we're wrong?

Hypocrisy is so much fun. :rolleyes:

Anyhow, here's my conundrum... I despise Babe. Totally abhor the whore. Really and truly... But I found myself on her side today. Well, strike that. I was on Zoe's side -- as is Babe. These asswipes in Pine Valley are so dense, they can't tell sh!t from shinola. They share, maybe, a single brain cell among them and all do the time honored tradition of cluelessly ganging up on someone and pelting them with as many insulting superlatives as possible because they all need a scapegoat -- and then have zero remorse for their weeks of dehumanizing gangbang once the real culprit is found. In fact, they will continue to rationalize their hatred and/or treatment of that person by using the justifier of, "Well... he played mind games with us while the real killer was on the loose..." Nevermind the fact that their collective peabrains had already accused, judged and convicted them and wouldn't listen to the truth, regardless of if the person told them or not.

They did that with Zach for the last two years, and now Zach's one of them doing it to Zoe.

Bianca needs to be slapped. Such a dumb ass. Okay, so you think Zarf was just trying to bed the lesbian (do we REALLY need to hear her whine that phrase or any variation of it again?), but you nipped it in the bud. Why the hell are you still whining? He didn't touch you, he didn't expose himself, he didn't even imply he wanted to have sex with you. I know you don't believe in the Saint Bianca hype, but sweetie, is your cootie kitty really all that fabulous that it shall be revered as holy or else off with your head?

Calm down. :rolleyes:

If I have to see Josh chase after that Pig in a Wig one more time.... UGH! Like I said, this storyline has become about Babe and her stalker Josh... the serial killer is just window dressing.

I won't even talk about Jonathan discussing the fact that he was so angry that he was going crazy with an axe and chopped down a couple of trees on Wildwind's grounds. You know. Wildwind? The late Edmund's property? The property where Jonathan went crazy, took a shovel and killed a paralyzed Edmund and proceeded to set the place ablaze?

I think Marla Kanelos did a good job.

Good God I wanted to harpoon Zach today. How Joan Crawford/"Mommie Dearest" was it when, in a fit of paranoia, he knocks the coffee out of the bodygaurd's hands, scolds him for not checking it first and for leaving to go get it in the first place (something Kendall asked him to do), then forcibly demands that he cleans it up? I would have so been like "Oh hell naw. I hope the killer gets yo ass next!"

I could get behind Kendall tearing down Babe, but I never take any of her attacks serious at all because half of the stuff she accuses Babe of, she's just as guilty. "You're nothing but a stupid, pathetic, criminal-loving [!@#$%^&*]." Kendall is stupid, but that's totally my opinion and completely subjective. I think it was pretty damn pathetic when she locked Greenlee in a fricken tower room just so that she could run on down and marry Ryan at the Thousand Islands. What she's doing now with Ryan and Emma is pretty pathetic too. And criminal-loving? PLEASE! This is the woman who is married to a man who caused the entire town to blackout. This is also the woman who pretended to be married to and pregnant for the man who raped her sister. And this is also the woman who embraced her "long-lost" brother Trey even though he burned her mother's house down (with her sister inside) and framed HER for it! [!@#$%^&*] PLEASE! And not to mention she visited her friend JR today, the one who pushed her sister off a balcony.

If Bianca has something to say about Babe, good. She needs to let that anger out. But Kendall needs to sit her ass down and STFU. Babe and Kendall are obviously the final targets of this Satin Slayer (based on that advertisement that Zach got in the mail), so they both need to put all of their baggage, all of the crap aside and band together. They both probably want the other dead, but as soon as the other one dies, THEY become the final target and this jackass gets to put all of his focus on killing the final Fusion female (couldn't pass up the alliteration there!).

And I have to agree with whoever it was who said that Jacob Young is one-note. I've never liked him a lot in the role. I mean, he gets the job done when it's "JR Ewing," but when it's sweet, kind JR, I don't feel it at all. There have to be some other veteran soap actors in that age range who are looking for a job...

ETA: I loved it when Livia visited Danielle today. It was such a sweet, nice, great family moment. I absolutely dread Charles Parnell as Derek, but I liked the Derek/Tad stuff.

Actually he was faking that ;) But still I totally agree with your point! I hate Jonathan! Another case of Megan's lazy ass prop ridden writing! If they loved Jeff Branson so friggin much why did they write him into such a corner that the only way out it seemed was a lame ass story such as a brain tumour. And I did like how Jonathan mentioned he had rage before the tumour when he beat up Lorraine.

I hope they revist this when Maggie comes back. That's really what I am most looking forward too.... I could care less about Bianca and Maggie at this point. My true hope is that Maggie is killed by the Satin Slayer and officially closes the door on BAM. Used to be a fan but I have moved on and just want closure, none of this open ended bull crap we've been subjected too.

Oh and I totally think Jonathan's the killer, no matter what anyone says. The fact that they mentioned that he was chopping trees at Wildwind sealed it for me. I'm not sure if Dani's apartment's location was mentioned, but it looked near Wildwind to me. The exterior reminded me a lot of the area around Kendall's place, which is around Wildwind.

    • What a wonderful photo! It really is a shame that Peacock will not show those early years. I know I'd love to see them!
    • With the death of Days and GH actress, Denise Alexander, someone posted this in the Days thread, a '60s-era photo of some of the cast, which lists the names. In the upper left, is a young Susan Flannery, who obviously ended up playing Stephanie Forrester on B&B, who was one of a few actresses to play Dr. Laura Horton [mother to Mike and Jennifer Horton] on Days. Here is a link to the photo: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/38014-days-behind-the-scenes-articlesphotos/?do=findComment&comment=2022200

    • Sorry, there must have been a error, while creating the file. I redone it and it has audio
    • Tamara Tunie was on a local CBS affiliate in Baltimore the other day talking about a few things she had going on, BTG amongst them: "Beyond the Gates" star Tamara Tunie is in Baltimore for the Reginald F. Lewis Museum's 20th anniversary
    • Kobe/Long had their own template and pretty much gutted the cast. As soon as contracts were up established characters were dropped. They needed to free the budget for the new characters. Going back to Ann,I wonder why the Dobsons renewed her contract around 78? After her initial story she became supporting and they didn't seem to want to pursue a romance with Mike. Maybe the feedback was that viewers blamed her indirectly for Leslie's death. If Mike hadn't taken on her case etc. Did she decide not to disrupt her son's life? Seems odd after everything she didn't claim him back. 1976 continues... Joe Werner is just not bouncing back after his recovery as he should, and Sarah, concerned about his sometimes morbid-seeming depression, consults Justin Marler. They agree that Joe is becoming a “cardiac cripple,” and know this kind of overcompensation for illness and overprecaution can not only be a permanently depressed condition but can actually cause a setback for him physically.  Marler releases Joe into Sarah’s care, but it’s soon apparent that just being out of the hospital hasn’t done anything to boost Joe’s spirits about his return to a normal existence. Marler finally lays it out to Joe—the choice has to be his. He can choose to lead a normal, productive life as a doctor and as a husband to the best wife he could have, or he can choose to become an invalid and live on the outside looking in for the rest of his days, sentencing Sarah to the same fate. Realizing the selfishness of what he’s doing to —Sarah as well as the narrowness of the confinement he’s set for himself, Joe begins to see his preoccupation with his illness as the self-pity it really is and decides he’s ready to return to the hospital for a one hour shift each day. Sarah is overjoyed by his turnabout, but full happiness is hers on the day she overhears Joe telling a fearful patient that the world is beautiful and worth any. effort to get back into it. Steve and Adam are thrilled to learn that Cedars has been the recipient of the Levy Grant for expansion of hospital property. But they have learned, as they report to Ed, that the land they were hoping to build the new research facility on, the land immediately adjacent to the hospital, has been purchased by Dr. Justin Marler. Both Adam and Steve feel that Justin is expanding a power base at Cedars and the land purchase is just one more block in Justin’s power play. When Ed asks Marler why he purchased this particular parcel of land, Marler explains that he bought it with the express intention of someday building his own offices and facilities convenient to the major facilities of Cedars. When the subject of the hospital’s needing the land arises, Marler meets with Adam, and they agree that he should realize a fair profit from his property and that an unbiased assessor should be engaged to evaluate the market value of the land so they can agree on a selling price. When Sarah comments on the fact that Marler is to realize a profit on the land, he bitterly replies that no matter what he’s done since coming to Cedars to prove that he has changed. since she last knew him, she refuses to see him as anything but what he was all those years ago. Sarah insists this isn’t true. But Marler then calls Adam for a meeting and informs him that the land is not for sale at any price. As Adam begins to grow alarmed, Marler continues that the site for the new building will be his personal donation to the hospital. As Adam expresses profuse thanks and appreciation, Marler wryly notes that the tax deductions he’ll realize on this contribution to a charitable institution will benefit himself almost as much as Cedars. When Steve Jackson learns that Marler is to be elected head of the research wing that will be built on his property, he expresses the conviction that this was the exact intention of the gift. Adam, however, assures Steve that the donation wasn’t a factor in the hospital  board’s decision, they were concerned only with Dr. Marler’s reputation as a doctor. | After lengthy consultations and meetings. with the hospital  staff, Ed assured by the head nurse that her nurses performed commendably despite the added pressure of the train wreck, presents his findings to the hospital review board. Steve arrives at two possible explanations for the facts. Either Grainger, more active than usual due to the previously delayed medication, reached for the writing pad and inadvertently disconnected the breathing tubes, or he was in a state of extreme upset because of the delayed medication and.in the excitement a surge of adrenalin within his system caused his brain aneurism to start hemorrhaging. " Upon learning that the review board has ruled out negligence in Grainger’s death, Ed tells Rita, who takes her first free breath in a long time. But Ed hasn’t thought to tell Rita that he’s been in touch with Grainger’s attorney, Mr. Schafer, who, knowing that a woman was at the base of Grainger’s investigation, is coming to Springfield to try to find out who the woman - was who walked out on Grainger when he collapsed —in the restaurant. Peggy, learning that Rita’s “forgetting” to deliver Holly’s message was instrumental in their divorce ‘being finalized, tells Ed that Holly wanted to reach him to stop the divorce. Immediately after, Peggy is torn by doubts, wondering if she did the right thing.She confides in Barbara, who then discusses the situation with Ed. He tells her he and Holly have discovered a new closeness now that they are building their separate lives. Barbara quickly contradicts him: Holly is not building a new life. Barbara gently cautions Ed, saying, “People change, feelings change, and what seems right now may not be right a year from now. No decision is irrevocable.” Ed agrees with this. Now that Ben has declared his love for her, Hope finds herself apprehensive, fearing that she might be making a mistake, as she did a few years ago, when she was sure she was in love with her college professor. Explaining that she doesn’t want to make another mistake, she asks Ben to be patient, and he agrees. When Mike expresses his disapproval of Ben’s overstated independence, his need to be beholden to no one, Hope quickly jumps to Ben’s defense, and Mike apologizes. But Ben, surprisingly, accepts Mike’s assessment as constructive criticism. Later Hope, examining her feelings and desires, tells Ben she does love him and wants to belong to him. Later that evening, after they’ve made love, Ben asks Hope to marry him.And, delighted, she replies that she will. At Hope’s instigation, Bert has a family dinner to which Ben is invited, and Hope announces their intention to marry over glasses of wine. Mike politely offers best wishes while Bert thrills the couple with her offer to' make a Christmas wedding for them. Bert later tells Mike he must accept this engagement with good spirits for Hope, and later, seeing the joy she’s feeling, he gives his daughter his approval. But Ben finds another problem on his very own doorstep: his brother Jerry, who announces he’s left home after several bad fights with their parents. He refuses to tell Ben what they were fighting about. As Ben is showering, Jerry borrows his car and goes out for an hour. The phone rings, but Ben can’t hear it. Shortly after, two uniformed officers visit Mike at home to tell him that his late wife’s car has been involved in a delicatessen robbery earlier in the evening. Since Ben bought Leslie’s car, Mike accompanies the officers to Ben’s apartment. Ben curtly informs the police that he had nothing to do with the robbery and makes it clear that he feels they wouldn’t be there if he didn’t have a record and that his exoneration doesn’t prevent his being hassled like any ex-con,as they tell him he has to go to the police station for questioning. Hope tells Ben she called him earlier, and when he replies that he must have been in the shower, she accepts his word unhesitatingly.Jerry finally returns to Ben’s place and under questioning from Ben admits that he robbed the store,explaining that he has debts. Ben is now in a quandary,as he feels he must protect his brother but doesn’t want to be unfair to Hope. He tries to ease the situation by withdrawing $185 from the joint checking account he opened with Hope and repaying the delicatessen owner. He then sends Jerry out of town to stay with a friend. His relief at having solved the problem is short-lived, however, when Mike informs him that, despite the reparations, the robbery was a felony and the police will continue to investigate. Hope is badly upset to learn while making a deposit that Ben withdrew’a sum which Mike tells her is equal to the amount stolen. This shakes her belief that he _was really home when she called, and she goes to him, asking for an answer to put her mind at rest. Ben can’t betray Jerry and asks Hope to trust him, promising she will have the whole story eventually. But Hope can’t accept this; she needs complete honesty and openness in her relationship and without it cannot goon. She painfully tells her father that the wedding is off despite her love for Ben, and tells Bert to stop preparations. Mike goes to Ben, reminding him that half the money in the account is Hope’s and she has the right to an answer. But Ben won’t say any more and refuses Mike’s offer to represent him legally, again stating that he doesn’t need a lawyer, because he’s done nothing wrong.     
    • And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!
    • The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.
