Did I hear right? Did Bianca say she was sorry that Baby BeeRinx would never know Babe? Argh! There's St. Bianca rearing her ugly head again. Bianca, notice the fact that your daughter entered the world on the same day Babe left it.

I was worried until Bianca made her admission about wanting to keep the truth from Kendall. Then I cheered. That was Binx living up to her heritage.

Not that I'm 100% sold on the Bianca/Zach storyline/concept.

But....

We've been giving Bianca and the past HW's crap for coming back and being St. Bianca. Everything was boring and she was overly sweet and giving too much advice on how to live life bc she was the perfect saint.

Now Pratt brings her back...NOT as the saint she was the past 3-4 times she came back...and everyone is hating on her? Is it bc she's disrupting the Zen world? Is it bc she's backstabbing Kendall, the SAINT herself? How else should Pratt have brought her back in an interesting, unsaintly, unboring way?

Can't have the best of both worlds here! It IS a soap opera. Get used to seeing some drama and not having everything be so perfect. And no, don't use the character assassination excuse on me -- I wouldn't go that far at all.

Depends on your interpretation of the word saint. It seems as if you are taking it to mean, simply bc she was a good character. Theres nothing wrong with that. I think most people are referring to how every character on the show perceives Bianca to be a saint. She can do no wrong. All her actions are excused and forgiven and she is seen as the pilar of morality. She buys into that hype and is sanctimonious, judges others and is extremely preachy. What Bianca did to Kendall is horrible, but I dont see her getting much flack for it bc she is the saint of PV. No one will be angry at her aside from Kendall and she'll get a free pass. Thats whats sickening bc had this been another character, she'd be called out on the backstabber that she is. You know, Im no Zendall fan and have been hating on Kendall for the past few months, but I'll call it like I see it. Bianca is dead wrong here and I fully support Kendall ripping her to shreds when she wakes up

And not to mention, but this is completely out of character for Bianca. I cant see her having done something like this. Maybe had she been on the show, and we got to see it play out, but we didnt. All we have is the snapshot of how she was before she left and now this. She isnt being written consistant with how she was in the past.

I agree 100%. Its something different.... I was growing tired of the Sainted Bianca routine myself. I think you hit the nail right on the head, it conflicts with certain fanbase's allegiances, so therefore its not a good story....... I wish more people could watch things objectively.....

Exactly Adam!

And Cheap - I fully expect and support Kendall being upset and lashing out at this initially. But my point is - the Zendall fans berated and hated on Bianca before she even aired bc of this anti-Zendall-is-love-and-nothing-should-break-that choice she made. Although don't get me started bc Zach is just as much at fault here, yet Zach is still getting a free pass from the Zendall fans.

ANYWAY....I'm just saying - thank God Bianca isn't coming back the same way she came back the last 3-4 times - this Saintly Bianca giving advice. She finally comes with a little drama and layers. Pratt heard our complaints and is acting on that...let's not be greedy...let's not bite the hand that feeds us! Can we not just enjoy our SOAP? Nothing should go right 100% of the time in a soap, or else it wouldn't be a soap.

My only problem so far is that the Pratt seems to be writing Bianca a little tentatively. Maybe its me but they seem to be flipping between St. Binks and Bitchy Binx. For ex: Bianca owning up to why she kept the baby a secret in the same ep she was "mourning" Babe. I hope once Reese appears we can bury St. Binks for good.

Well said Cheap

Awww have I offended you? I think I hear tiny violins playing........

Oh and FYI, go read other boards, most are sick of Reese already, cause of the "Reese is so wonderful" crap we're being forcefed and it has NOTHING to do with being a fan of anyone.

So save the holier than thou crap for church ;)

Oh and I also hate how you never answer or speak to the flaws and mistakes made by your beloved characters that make up Zendall.

Please - I'd LOVE to hear your take on Zach's doing in all of this. I'd LOVE to hear you speak to his actions without spinning it to make him be the good guy in all of this. Oh and I'm still waiting to hear you defend Kendall's actions and hypocrisy in the last couple of months without shifting the focus to Annie or Greenlee.

    • The letter reading was very emotional, and Maeve really got to me too. I was a little worried because Vanessa doesn't give a speech at the funeral, which surprised me, but then we got the private letter reading and her true emotional reaction and I was satisfied there. The YouTube channel I watch these episodes on (if not on our Vault), also had upset commenters talk about how Nola's line about Henry not accepting her at first/seen as a gold-digger was totally untrue. It's sad the writers don't do their homework and give fans the respect (and the characters respect). And yep, Bill got up and spoke at the funeral too, which was nice.  I didn't even realize that was Sharon Leal until you said it!  I had to Google it. I loved Sharon Leal in Boston Public back in the day haha. LOL at your Reva/Josh ALWAYS commentary. What is RME though?
    • Leslie is an extreme liar and manipulator. I'm not sure what her point was in trying to convince Nicole she wasn't trying to hurt her. As much as Eva did help orchestrate the entire plot I feel like there was too much piling on. Eva never said she wanted to be a Dupree so Anita was extremely out of line for that comment.  
    • Thanks!

       That's positive and something to look forward to for sure, because you're right, 1996 so far isn't nearly as good as 1995. Ohh - what is Lonatrat?  Sadly you're probably right. I did feel like David was rarely seen once Marcus came on. That would have been an interesting spin, having Frank and Tina be teenage lovers and Dahlia really being his daughter. I'm getting the sense that Tina won't be seen too much anymore, as she just left Dahlia with Frank/Eleni as she's heading to jail for a while. I like the Tina actress too!  Her voice sounds a bit like Rosie Perez to me, which I love. I tried to find her online, but coming up empty. This was the only thing I could find about Tina Crede - a character snapshot video with clips and stills of her (randomly starting just before the 1:00 mark):

      That's wild that the David actor is nearly 40 here! Definitely surprises me.
    • 5-6   Meh. It already looks like a scattershot week.    5-5 was actually a good episode. Damian and Lily. Phyllis finally going on the warpath that I knew she could get on with Billy and Sally. Nate started to question Audra and Victor's alliance. And I was not even bugged by Kyle and Claire.   But then there's Cole's off-screen story. Kyle and Claire going back to being whiny. And them even wanting Adam's penthouse just sounded like trying to keep the set around. And Diane shouldn't even give a flying frak about Billy's opinion. And Tessa, Daniel, and the guitars...yeeeah no.   But hey...JM looked good in that short. And those pants.  I agree. One of Y&R's good points with fans has always been that you do at least see the vets. And IN stories. 
    • One of the things that I found unnecessary and a bit disturbing about Ambitions was that in almost every episode someone was holding or shooting a gun.  Jamey and Ron seem to have the same fetish.
    • I had thought that there was a Tommy Biddles on there, but then I realized I was thinking of Dr. Biddles on Santa Barbara. Never mind!

    • I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.
    • It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. ** I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems. *** edit to add: The show never specified what Mona's job was for Nicole.  Home manager?  Office manager?  Head personal assistant?  I'm sure there would have been a title?    Mona asserted today her upset with Eva and with Leslie.  That they used her and ruined her reputation.  I just wish I knew what Mona's job was. If Mona was an official manager, then it would have made sense for Nicole to trust the recommendation, if Nicole thought Mona had done a proper hiring procedure.  But if Mona is just an informal helper, then why wouldn't Nicole order a background check?
