The Best Show in Daytime. That's all that needs to be said right there. Talk about root-able couples. In May during the height of sweeps, this show had Jared and Natalie make love for the first time, Antonio and Talia reconnected after a faux breakout. There's family drama with The Mannings. Vets are all over the show, involved in major story lines and everyones seems to be getting screen time. They even found a realistic logical reason for one of their characters to be on a stripper pole. Go Rex!!! There's a wedding coming up that people actually want to see what's going to happen along with a viable believable triangle story. There are plenty of secrets being kept that makes good story telling rather than secrets that make no sense what so ever!!! The consequences of these coming out one day will be good, must see TV. Imagine all of that, PLUS Snoop Dogg and David Vickers!!!

I'm loving this show and am happy that other people are loving it too. I hope the ratings increase.

I'm trying to get my mom to start watching. We shall see if she asks if I recorded it(yeah I watch live and record lol) tomorrow. We did have a little OLTL chat yesterday so I think my master plan is working. LOL

The wedding stuff should be awesome!

Sometimes I think it's a little sad that Adrianna is on her way out. She, Gigi and Rex make a great soap triangle that could last for years. At first I was bored to death with this character during her faux-Cassie era. Gary Tomlin's Adrianna Carrington Colby Dexter I couldn't stand. But this girl who doesn't want to lose her man I enjoy watching. And I am a Gigi fan! Lol

Cole and Starr act like spoiled brats. Pregnant Starr and all this airtime to the "star-crossed teen couple" was way too boring for me. When I marrry Todd the first thing I am going to do is to send Starr to a private school in Mendorra. Or in Eterna. Or even in the Old West.

I am furious that I never got to see the REAL secrets exposed! What was Miles's secret? What was Alison's? Who is Rex's father?

If Brody is actually C.J. Roberts as many people believe, then Brody's mother who lied to Gigi about her son dying was TINA??? I doupt that.

I can't wait for Monday's episode!

Big YES here. Just as suddenly as Adriana got her bitchy bangs, she shortly afterward grew in dimension. I believe I said earlier that I selfishly hope Melissa Gallo Fumero returns. OLTL could use a character like her - like the original conception of Rachel from AW or young Erica from AMC; a character who is capable of love but always hurts the ones she loves most (her mother, her men, untimately her children). Now I am not saying MGF is of that calibre.. .YET.

I don't mind the Starr and Cole story all that much. I was surprisingly impressed by Brandon Buddy's take on the whole thing on The View.

As for the other secrets... who knows? The Alison one bugs me the most.

I don't think Brody is CJ. However, Brody might know CJ.

I'm loving OLTL more and more, but I just feel after the good Langston and Markko this week, they are going to go back to playing second fiddle to Starr and Cole.

they've got such a good thing with those two characters, and Ron brought them back to perfect form this last week, I don't want them back burned again...

L&M are so original and different for soaps it just works. With Ron writing them both characters have their edge back and the pairing has their own edge back, and it's rocks. But it just seems like they are headed to play second fiddle to this baby stuff.

    • The TVC Studio 31 that they used for 38 years was only about 13,730 sq ft., according to the TVC website specs: https://televisioncityla.com/stages-offices/ Sunset Las Palmas Studios has 11 sound stages, which go up to 20,000 sq ft., though we're yet to learn which of those sound stages will house B&B. Depending on which one, the specs for it can be found here: https://www.sunsetstudios.com/los-angeles/las-palmas-studios/ Sound Stages 4, 5 and 9 are available for use starting September 1, 2025. It's unclear if either of those stages would be used by B&B since they begin production there starting Tuesday, August 19, 2025, which would be before the date shown on the website, but we shall see. Of those three sound stages, only Sound Stage 4 and 5 make sense since they are larger than the specs the show had at TVC, while 9 is quite smaller.  Sound Stage 4 would be the best option overall for B&B since it has 18,819 sq ft., the largest individual sound stage at the lot - Stage 3 and Stage 8 share space, which combined makes the space 19,900 sq ft.
    • I didn't post about it in the BtG thread as I still don't watch the show (an hour runtime is just too much for me right now with a new soap I can't just mostly skip through) but I can't imagine the ego of someone who is hired as a breakdown writer and decides to [!@#$%^&*] their own name all over the show. Classless beyond belief. Any writer who cares more about masturbatory behavior than quality of work should not be hired.
    • Yeah, it would've made things more tightly woven.
    • I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.
    • I didn't even think of roasters from GH

      Maybe this roast will take even more than two years
    • Irna wasn't involved with ATWT at the time of Neil's death, was she? I'm imagining a situation where right after his latest doctor's appointment, he's killed.
    • The Cruise of Deception was the first thing that came to mind when I mentioned that Brady might take after that side of the family 
    • We all knew that TT is busy so if she's off screen for a bit except for phone calls and/or visits.. then it is what is. Ashley was nicely used as support... which the writers should have been doing since day 1 so that viewers could understand why exactly she's on the show LOL Chelsea/Madison.... seems too good to be true... we shall see. Shanice as a PT... if it means more airtime.. I'm good.
    • Yeah, he's a mobster with Vanessa while his wife cozies up to mobsters as the worst mayor in America. 
    • He's too busy in Maryland with a younger blonde woman.
