Uh, interesting musical montage (is it really a montage?) with Marcus and Steffy. They used that song in the CBS promo. Is that a real song or something made just for CBS daytime?

I did like seeing the "behind the scenes" of Forrester Creations.

I like the pacing of their story, too. Whoduthunk the teen story would be the only interesting thing going on?!?!

No comment on the wedding.

*swoon* Steffy and Marcus montage. SOO watching on my phone at 4.

I know, who would have thought they'd be such a hit. But I think it's the perfect combination of chemistry and a real storyline.

Dude, really, must they devote more time to the wedding. It seemed SOO forced on Friday...

I was just paying attention to the new opening and the guy who plays Marcus' name is Texas Battle? Are you kidding me? Texas Battle? LMAO, that sounds too crazy to be true. I wonder what it was like for him to grow up with that

They actually doing the one thing with them that a lot of soaps are not doing with new couples. B&B is actually taking the time to build up the couple. They have been pretty much paired together from the start, but there is still this build up before they are really a "couple". They are making us care about the characters as individuals before pairing them into a full couple.

I am so over the moon loving them. The scenes were perfect--it's a buildup and actually totally making me want the actual kiss even more. And it's actually not an "overload" at all--not every moment of every show, which makes me more excited.

And the Jackie hair continues to look HORRID. Hot tranny mess horrid.

I love Marcus/Steffy. It's amazing just how much better the casting for Steffy is compared to Phoebe (who I always thought was intensely overrated). Steffy actually reminds me of Taylor. Like this headdip she did at the end of the first scene. I like her a ton.

I'm just so sick of investing in any of the B&B summer couples (remember... Thomas/Amber, Thomas/Gabby, CJ/Becky, CJ/Bridget, Rick/Erica, Amber/Deacon or really any). They always get kick ass front burner storylines and after that they are gone.

While I am not over the moon (these performers are still green), I am enjoying them more than anything else. Young love...not histrionic or over-wrought...some fun...something fresh and different (but still a Forrester-Logan union). Works for me.

I loved your clip, EXCEPT...all that high-speed Chaplin-esque walking over the rooftop was too much and looked silly. I get that real-time roof-walking took too long, and they didn't want to waste all their exterior footage...but the high speed stuff wasn't the right effect. But I am enjoying when ALL the CBS soaps get out of the studio now (yup, that includes GL now that it is not barren winter and they've stopped shaking so much).

I am on-board with Adam/Heather (see my avatar). I am not yet on-board with Marcus/Steffy (since they are younger, the writers can't play the same HOTness...although you know it is coming). But I enjoy them, they are fresh, and I'll have fun watching this play out.

Me too. The scene pacing/staging doesn't yet match the exteriors, but I am hopeful that is coming. I suspect they are trying to gradually get us used to this.

I wonder if any of their older viewer base will be turned off? So far, what they are doing is subtle enough that I doubt they'll even notice.

I think this is a prelude to a change in the show's whole style...music, dress, pacing, lighting...but they are dribbling it out to avoid protest. As Tom Casiello noted, that is wise, given the fan outrage to the GL "production model" hype.

Me too. That was a realism I appreciated. I am assuming this is all the Bell Productions behind-the-scenes at CBS Television City? If yes, it is really nice that the environment in which they work actually matches what the show should be....

I'm not objecting to this production change. I hope they can work on the pacing and storytelling within the scenes now. I don't necessarily mean faster...I mean deeper and with more energy.

      I don't believe she did. She did sleep with Simon, believing he was a Spaulding.

      -- If I ever get sick, please don't send me to Garland Memorial. That hospital is a YIKES. -- Soooo much activity around the main nurses' desk. Do they move dead people on a gurney past that desk, too? -- 8 months for Bill to recover from a "small stroke"? Uh....I don't think so. Is anyone researching this stuff? The hospital stuff is not coming off as realistic. -- It's good that Derek and Ashley are being integrated into other stories, but it's a real stretch to say Leslie was "stalking" Ashley. It makes Derek seem dumber than we already think he is. -- Ashley spends a lot of time having small talk while she's at work. -- Chelsea is embarrassing. Period. -- Tomas is supposed to pick up the slack for Bill, but he has time to have worthless conversations with Leslie? OK then. -- Kat is destroying the case against Leslie, but that's clearly the way to keep Leslie on the canvas.

      6-3   I almost let my system just delete the episode just like with B&B. I am now questioning if I should have. lol.   I just can't believe that Cole sat there and started to get sick and then only Victoria off and ran off and everyone basically went back to what they were doing at Nikki's birthday party. Cole was too much of a vet character for that. And now story back off-screen.   I did chuckle at how much Victor pay Kyle dust. And now Kyle with this deal and a promise to leave town if he hurts Claire. smh. As if Victor isn't going to make that happen.   It was lovely to see Ashley. And actually (misdressed and all) Abby.    And I liked Claire's dress.

      I did think of another possibility. Did India ever sleep with Alan? They kind of toyed with pairing them up, but I'm not sure they ever became lovers.

      While I do love the chaotic energy that is Kat vs Lesile, it is a bit extra. Sheltered, virginal Kat who plays it safe from her man to her wardrobe understands that Leslie is dangerous, but she's out here showing up everywhere and anywhere that Lesile is to be found and actively going to places where she is alone? I mean Kat doesn't even act a little afraid or intimidated by Leslie. Meanwhile, big Ole Derek out here begging for his and Ashley's life to Jacob.  As for Dani, I didn't see it that way. Dani and Bill were together for 30 years and shared a family. I believe there was real love there at one point. Bill is still an ass and Dani is still crazy, but realizing she may lose him and her daughter's may lose their dad definitely struck a chord.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      Funny I randomly saw Kami’s lengthy post about the 44th anniversary of the Walton’s finale last week pop up in my news feed on Facebook. A few inaccuracies to her post but overall it was pretty insightful and interesting to read.

      Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.

      Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.

      I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.
