Good show. I still wish we could have seen more Luke and Noah. I still dont know if they have "that" chemistry. Great to see Bob, Babs and Susan in one show. And Margo is on tomorrow. More vets is fine with me! :)

Good show today.

I had to laugh when Carly burst in to the Lakeview today because I was seeing it through Katie's eyes.

I especially loved the Susan scenes. I am glad they brought up how she still fights her alcoholism.

That male kidnapper is so stereotypical of Jean's bad guys. The woman reminds me of Cynthia too.

I'd like to thank Jean for the Will and Gwen scenes because it gave her an excuse to use Don Hastings and CZP again. OOPS! I better put my negativity in check,LOL!

I sure hope the ratings start going up Last week and now this week so far have been great, almost so great that I am doubting JP is writing the show, when was the last time so much balance was in a show, I mean really 5 storylines instead of the crappy 2 per show that we are used to.

I noticed the new bumpers. Scott Bryce was included. And the color scheme was changed to blue. I liked today's script written by Richard Culliton. Espcially the Fluffy scenes. Where she was having doubts and finally getting a brain!...LOL And the part about Susan and her wanting a drink(fighting it).....good stuff.

And your statement winterguy has me thinking. I might have imagined this but wasnt there a rumor where one script writer was actually HW and SW? Could it be Richard Culliton on ATWT. Just a hunch!

I can honestly say, today is the first time I've ever FF'd Jack. Most times, I think Michael is one of the most natural actors on daytime. TODAY, the first cliched scenes with FluffZilla were so forced, I couldn't stand it. When I finally thought Carly was going to interrupt, I had to listen to Katie "maturely" (*sigh*, *groan* and *barf*) evaluate their "relationship"...and listen to Jack continue to describe Carly, while looking pitifully at Katie, like some whipped puppy who didn't understand why he was being dragged around by his leash by his bratty owner. I think someone should report this cruel and unusual torture, as it violates the Geneva Convention.

And I'll throw in a word about Fluffy (other than I thought that dress was some kind of joke. I still think Teri has pissed off someone in wardrobe, because that dress was all wrong for her.) A TWO minute reflection on the HELL she made Mike's life, is NOT going to convince me she's matured, or that she's capable of self-introspection. If that were the case, she would have thought about it long before she had Jack on his knees, asking a question he already thought he had an answer to. (But who can think about LIFE decisions when there are dresses and shoes to buy, or she can spend the afternoon snarking with her BFF Vienna about how perfect her life is, now that she's sure Carly is out of the picture.)

Thought the Noah/Luke/Maddie stuff was horrible. Y'know, Luke just needs to get laid, if every brush of Noah's hand makes him horny.

I liked the Susan/Ali talk at the end...the rest of the Ali/Meth/Aaron/3 Drug Dudes was [!@#$%^&*].

Oy...the JJ kidnapping was over-the-top. Even Maura couldn't really save it.

The Gwen/Will/Bob/Barb scenes where nice. I'm a little confused about why Bob was suddenly in town, like TWO hours after Paul's wake. But, it was so nice to see him, I didn't care. It seems like he knows about Paul, since he said something about Will being sad.

Oh....liked the new background on the bumpers today. I thought there was some anonymous couple in the background of one of them...it's not, it's Henry and Vienna!

Jesus, Luke is acting less mature than Faith. Just because this is a "gay" love story, doesn't mean it has to be spoon-fed and simplified to an after-school special type of "message" story. Any other couple (outside of the pre-teen set) on this show usually bangs first, and "gets to know" each other later.

    • Thanks! I never venture back to re-watch that period of the show 
    • I was wondering about Liam wearing that hat for such a long time, as it was supposed to be covering up his surgery wound -- but he wouldn't need a hat for this long a period of time. Then I noticed everyone's wardrobe is the same, too, and realized that it's been the same "Forrester/Logan day" for two weeks of episodes. I guess he just got out of the hospital and all these episodes are discussing what happened?
    • I would have to say FD was the luckiest man in daytime who stayed way past any reason for him to be there, but yes, totally agree that Alan should have died at that point, which would have spared us more years on mustache twirling bombasity.   I know it was a big get to bring Joan Collins on, and I loved her Alex, but it would have been great at that point if they had just brought Amanda back. Phillip is named by Alan and Alex as the successor or head of family and head of the corporation, with the board and investors approval. Amanda (who is back to being Alan's daughter, it was one last "screw you" from Brandon to try to get Alan and Alex at each others throats) gets pissed and comes back to stake her claim and be a thorn in everyone's side. Meanwhile Liv is suddenly REALLY interested in Phillip as he will have a longer self life then Alan. Things unfold much as they did with Amanda coming back to thwart Liv as Alex did..and when the truth comes out Alan really does have a heart attack and kicks (for real, for good, no fake outs, no returns, he's dead..dead.) and then AM comes back (as Taggert originally planned before Weston came to stink up the place.) to make his claim also. Phillip' guilt over Alan's death and having no final reconciliation ( On his death bed Alan could say, "I am proud of you son, you have finally become a real Spaulding," right before he kicks. ) I also agree that Phillip was not always likable, which really I give GA credit for being brave enough to make him that way, which is exactly how Phillip should be.   Ed and Chelle were there, but she ran off the plane to chase J...(I kid you not, that is why we started calling her Slutchelle) and Ed ran after her. The reason they, and no one else was at the wedding was obviously to save money, so it would have made more sense to have it on an existing set then that dumb Universal Studios thing.
    • They probably threw in Rick because he's AM's cousin, Michelle should've been there too. I don't remember if Ed was still on the show at this point 
    • In the 2nd semi-final, I enjoyed Denmark and Luxembourg (plus France) the most. I was also positively surprised by Germany's performance, because usually our performances are ... well, lackluster, to put it nicely. The one country I did not expect to qualify was Armenia, but yeah, the staging probably helped a lot, because the song itself is just noise in my ears. I thought Serbia would make it instead. None of the Ex-Yugo countries made it to the Grand Final (first time since 2013), while all the Nordics and Baltics qualified. Recap of the 2nd semi-final:

    • I don't think they were prepared for Sherry Mathis to exit. I think the scripts were written well in advance and they didn't expect her to go. Louanne was on the very next episode and a terrible recast.  Erwin Nicholson made the same mistake in casting with Nicole on Edge but they gave the character some weeks or months rest before they brought in Jayne Bentzen, I believe.  As I stated above, in rewatching these posted episodes, I am making a guess that Mayer/Braxton wrote many weeks in advance because of the Spring 85 writers' strike.  While the strike lasted only two weeks, SFT is the only P&G soap that had writer credits through the two weeks of air shows that included the strike weeks. I also am guessing that Mayer was signed to a six month minimum (soaps typically have actors and writers on 13 week contracts) and Mayer was fired exactly at 26 weeks from the day his material first started airing.  He was a disaster for the show and Erwin was tired and not what the show needed although scoring Lambie as Lloyd was his top achievement (he lasted a little less than 1 year).

    • I think Steve and Shawn track down Kevin and Jeffrey gives them one dose on the sly in exchange for keeping it quiet. John's organs will go to Bo. We know he's not really coming home. Xander won't make the board meeting so EJ will get the hospital by default. And Kate will tell Xander that Sarah lied to him precisely because she feared he would do something like this to Philip  Those are my Friday predictions! Was a good show. I felt Philip's fear in that last scene.
