I'm not convinced it's Pam just yet...still could be Stephen. Pam going crazy could just be a diversion fromt he real culprit. I am liking B&B again though. i just hope they find a good way to end the Katie/Nick/Bridget debacle without us having to go through another 7 months of this baby crap.

I'm very anti-B&B these days, but I liked today too.

The worst stories didn't are (Nick-Katie-Bridget, Taylor-Rick, and [for me] Marcus-Steffy). We had the A-team. We had a driving single story. We had camp and humor. I want a clip of Betty White saying "And we know what happens when your sister goes off her meds".

Plus all that lemon bar stuff. And the honey bears.

Fun. Still too campy for my tastes in general...but at least it was well acted and done with entertainment. (Beemer stealing the cop car was a laugh riot too).

I could tolerate THIS B&B...silly but fun. When they do that sappy romance sh*t (Nick and Katie), my eyes roll...no entertainment value at all. Plus, for me, the Jack Smith and Patrick Mulcahy dialogue has been atrocious. I wonder what is happening there. I'm wondering if they're being rushed somehow.

The teaser today was REALLY sloppy. They jumped into those flashbacks way too quickly with no warning, the editing around the bear/Pam knocking Donna out was laughable, and the electric guitar and exterior shots killled all the suspense and momentum going back and forth between the cabin and the Forresters/Logans.

Whether you like the camp or not, there was a better way to get into this stuff. It was really really sloppy.

I thought most of the eppy was just plain bad. I've never been a fan of Pam, and the stuff with the bear was just ludicrous. Owen banging sticks to chase it away? WHAT. THE. HELL???

But, oddly enough, I found Owen and Donna's scene hot. So much more palatable than Donna/Eric.

For me, it was tieing in the A-team with the rest of the characters---me, I watch a lot for Steffy and Marcus--so to have the really worked into the storyline while still having their own part, just made it all better for me.

I dont like the direction they've gone with Own. I felt he was much more intriguing as a bad guy but they went and made him a goodie. I thought he had Deacon potential in the beginning but now he's a generic pretty boy. He and Donna have chemistry but I dont think I'll find a triangle with Eric all that interesting

Yep. And it was even foreshadowed way back at the beginning of the story (in the flashback Ridge had on Friday's show, where he recalled Pam barging in on his and Eric's private meeting to give Eric the lemon bar). My original suspect list had Pam and Owen at the top because of the foreshadowing with the lemon bar and the gin bottle. In discussing at one point, someone even asked when Pam was mentioned "why would she hurt Eric?" and I had it pegged to something along the lines of what she told Donna.

With the cop car, I agree. I can see Owen knowing how to hot wire a car, but the Beverly Hills precinct of the LAPD would have to be as inept as they were in the BEVERLY HILLS COP films to not notice Owen driving off in one of their vehicles. Then again, the fabulous Baker boys sometimes remind me of the cops from those films. :) As for the papers, Owen would get to see them eventually as part of free discovery when he went to trial, and he would know that since he was a legal investigator before coming to L.A., so the cops probably didn't see much harm in letting him see them now as he asked.

    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate 
    • This show is definitely not one to deserve the axe.  especially the New Year’s Eve episode was crazy wild! there is a place where u can download nearly all episodes from October 2019 til today. But they don’t accept new people. https://youtu.be/aD-IXEJjymU?si=19wtpwthSNYOe-4y   this is from this years winter break when the returned. I loved it
