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.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
