IA. It seemed as if the writers dropped the Zach and Greenlee angle. I loev that its creeped up again

They were already mentioning Maria, Sam and Maddie today

IA. Krystal being with her was a big WTF, especially since she was so emotional as if she and Julia were super close friends. They\'ve barely interacted

That is true. But like people say all the time, we watch soaps to escape realism. In our minds, we hope that if we're put in that situation, that we can jump off a roof and grab onto the bottom of a helicopter in order to save the one we loved. It's escaping realism like this that I love about soaps. However, I hate when people use that "escape from realism" excuse when it comes to ridiculous things that go on on the soaps like Marlena's possession or anything on Passions.

I agree it was a bit much, but since there was SO much soapiness, romance and secrets revealed (old-fashioned soap) on Friday, I could overlook all the CGI and action stuff on AMC today.

The John McClane stuff I *LOVE* because... well, becuase I've got a lot of testosterone in me and I love that crap. But I DO understand that it needs to be paced out in daytime. It's not ALWAYS what the audience wants to see, but every once in a while, it's nice to throw in. Like an after dinner liqueur. So I didn't mind today because there was so much good emotional stuff surrounding it.

I also thought the actor playing Frankie did a GREAT job today. Forgot to mention that before.

Agree about the unfab four. I didn't like the very beginning when they talked about the 3 great love stories:

Jesse & Angie - check

Tad & Dixie - Of course

Kendall & Greenlee - UGH! What an insult to even include them with the other two.

I cried my eyes out when Dixie thanked Julia for taking care of Kate.

Exactly! That's why it worked. If there was just action, it wouldn't have been this good. All the action stuff came after a beautiful, romantic wedding.

Yeah, once and while....unlike GH.

I really like him too. And he looks so much like Jesse.

Agree with all the stuff others have mentioned. Another excellent show. I cried watching Julia's final moments. When I learned Sydney Penny was leaving and this was the way Julia was going to be written off, while pissed, I didn't really care all that much, but Sydney Penny today, proved why she was once heralded as one of daytime's greatest younger performers in the 90's, Her talent still shone through. I mean, in almost 3 years, Sydney gave the most meaningful performence in a few minutes. Poor Kathy, has to lose so many people she loves in order to be reunited with Tad.

I loved Adam comforting Kathy. He is so good with her. Colby seems nothing more than wallpaper, why did they recast again> LOL

I didn't mind the Kendall/Ryan and Zach/Greenlee stuff. It was good balance to the action and emotional drama elsewhere. Rebecca is playing Greenlee for all she's worth the past few days. Loving every single second of it and I'm sorry, but I can't deny that hot chemistry between Thorsten and Rebecca.

    • I wonder if less set use was preparing for the move. They probably were preparing for this for awhile now 
    • The early part of the season is decent. After that, Season 9 is probably one of the worst seasons until season 13. Season 10 is a little worse.    That would have made sense, even if it cost us one of my favorite scenes (Ben putting Lilliemae in a headlock). That's an excellent storyline and leads to the show's last strong season finale. 
    • 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. --- Forgot to add, unless there was an issue with storing the sets, the changes at TVC should have had no issue with production on the show, resulting in fewer set use as there has been no movement in terms of construction that would impact either show (B&B/Y&R). Of the 2-3 times I've been at the studio, the most recent for Don Diamont's 40 years at CBS, it was the most dead I had ever seen the space, but that could be due to vacations, holidays, or the preparation of the B&B move.
    • 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.
