Again a nice picture. How long ago was that? 4 or 5 years? Guess it was before Tylo's return.

All of my children have an equal piece of my heart.........(except for Thorne and the girls). Even a mention of Massimo today!

I don't know which side I'm on. Yes, Ridge is a huge ego-maniac. But I'm not sure that I really like Rick either, lol.

I don't know why, but I really like the girl that plays Steffy. And not have kids anytime soon? Lol, right, we'll have Taylor a grandmother in a year or two.

It annoys me how inconsistently they write for Thorne. He proves time and time again that he's got a real talent for the fashion business, even triumphing in that catwalk showdown thing over Forrester when he was at Spectra, and yet they still continue to have him as second best to Ridge.

Im surprised they remembered he existed. It is messed up for Eric to just pass him over.

Im loving Steffy's hair. It looks so much better now that its darker and her resemblance to Taylor is uncanny. I also really loved their conversation yesterday, especially when she admited that hte reason she stayed away at school was bc she didnt want to stick around and watch Taylor suffer.

TIIC completely dropped the ball on the Katie/Nick/Bridget storyline. Its odd that it was going strong for so long and then boom, all characters are on the backburner and their storling done. Im not complaining bc I hated them but it doesnt feel as if there was any real closure. It doesnt even seem as if they are even trying to fit Nick into the Brooke/Ridge/Taylor triangle anymore

I'm not complaining that they dropped the Katie/Nick thing either. It was awful. It makes me feel sorry for Heather Tom. I guess the "closure" was Katie moving in and Bridget just "moving on"?

Steffy really does look like Taylor now, moreso than any of the other offspring looking like their parents, IMO.

I think it'd be so much better if they REALLY did a Thorne/Ridge thing and not drop it after a week and forget about it. It's been done before, but I think there's really something to root for in Thorne. Or even something with Felicia and Ridge. I just don't care enough about Rick.

The problem is (flame-retardant suit on) Winsor Harmon can't act. And, now, he doesn't have that sexy young himbo thing going for him either.

The two previous Thornes (esp. Trachta) were actually better. (Although I realize they wanted Thorne to be a more macho combatant for Ridge...but it actually worked better when Thorne--as he was with the two previous actors--was the softer son).

Winsor's Thorne really can't carry a story. He can snarl. He can be supercilious. He can throw furniture. He can bury his face in his hands and pretend to be sad. In a romance, he can put on a leering face. There is a REASON this actor is NEVER front burner, and it has to do with more than Brad's ADD and the historical neglect of the Thorne character.

ON THE OTHER HAND, Felicia on the front burner--as a combatant for ANYONE--that would be heaven to see.

Actually...that was Brooke's house. Can't tell you how relieved I was to see they'd finally found the "living room" set. I was beginning to worry that all the Ridge scenes were going to be shot in Brooke's Bedroom. Very disconcerting to see Ridge entertaining his mother (twice)...his estranged brother/rival and his ex-wife in the bedroom!

I would LOVE it if Felicia was like "you know what? Always having Ridge's back hasn't gotten me anywhere. He's selfish and totally self centered. Screw him, I'm looking out for number 1 from now on!" and they set up a Ridge/Felicia rivalry. Or at the very least do shades of

but B&B needs a good kick in the ass with something like that!

    •  Yeah, he is still dressed like Martin. He looks great, though.  Cute picture. Sober up, cause we need the tea.
    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
