Despite what Stephanie may have felt for Brooke, she did love her children. I felt she did a good job at seperating her hate from Brooke from Bridget and Rick and she accepted and cared for them bc they were Eric's children, who she did love. We obviously dont see it much now but she was alot closer to them when they were younger. She was genuine when she said she loved him as a child.

First of all, had to catch the show on CBS's website. Their online player is the WORST. I've never had so much trouble watching a show on any other network's website. Took me 45 minutes to watch a 20 minute show. TV.com was no better. For comparison, I was catching up on Lost on ABC's website flawlessly.

I'm glad we got Jackie back today. I liked the Jackie/Katie tension.

Bridget in disguise? Somebody is watching old episodes of B&B. First the stealing of designs, then a disguise. I wish we didn't know who the designer was and that there was some buildup to it. Jackie could have been alluding to it for a while. Then it could've been revealed, had Nick or Katie find out, and then get the story about wanting to do fashion forever or whatever.

Continued goodness of Stephanie and Rick. "Ridge always knew what kind of woman your mother was." Lol.

Oh...can Taylor STFU now? OMG...she's rewritten her entire boinkfest with Rick as nothing more than his need to get back at Ridge. WTF??? Hello, wasn't she trying to stick it to Brooke, because of Jack and Nick? And how the [!@#$%^&*] did Rick manage to nail Ashley to annoy Ridge? They got it on in Paris, before Ric came back to LA. Rick loved her skanky, overcollagened ass...and now she's blaming him. WTF.

Ugh...I f'in hate Taylor the Pious.

Oh..and Madame X sucks.

Taylor's hysterics are so jarring. HT really wants to act, bless her heart. And I have no sympathy for her whatsover. She played with fire and she got burned. She wouldn't listen to anyone when she had her hooks in Rick (to spite Ridge) and now her daughter is doing the same thing.

Madame X - gosh, Bridget deserves so much more. I'm rooting for her cause the show has made her into a doormat.

Where's DEACON!? I really want him back on this show. He could be brought back by Stephanie to wrangle Steffy away from Rick which would backfire of course.

Taylor had every right to get upset. Her daughter died not too long ago. Phoebe died bc she threw herself right in the middle of Rick's hate for Ridghe and now it looks like Steffy being stupid and naive is getting mixxed up in that. Its only natural for her to be super overprotective. I liked that her feelings on it werent about the fact that she was hurt over the fact that Rick would move on with her daughter but rather that Rick was using her daughter to hurt Ridge. And really can anyone blame her for thinking this? Rick has been super focused on hating and trying to hurt Ridge over the past few months. Just before Phoebe died, he tried to seduce Steffy to do just that. Now he has got Steffy hooked and in love with him and who's set to be the most pissed off about this? Ridge.

"You know what, I blaim Sally Spectra for this." LOL.

As cheesey as the Madame X thing is, apparently Bridget is actually a good designer. Hopefully we can get some actual competition going. Just PLEASE no Nick romance.

Tylo does angry a lot better than sad, IMO. I still remember that day years ago when she went in Stephanie's house and starting going crazy. She has something in her, it just doesn't come out much. When she and JMW were standing next to each other today...SUCH a good casting decision.

I remember those scenes too when Taylor started going off the angry deep end..."Don't Try to Stop Me!" and "I was a brood mare, just keep poppin 'em out for King Ridge!" being some of Taylor's choice lines...Tylo can play anger, really, really well. Like you say, there's something in her.

Today's episode was great. I happen to love the cheesy perfection of Madame X (loved that piano music when Nick took off her sunglasses)...Jackie flying around the office like a busy bee...Taylor exploding...Stephanie orchestrating the fall of Rick...Ridge and Eric designing...LOVE it!

I don't mind Taylor being angry or appalled at Ric and Steffy. What I'd prefer is that she'd stop rewriting her history to make her the victim of Rick's revenge scheme. And that she'd stop spouting psychobabble at family members while she does it.

Taylor not trusting Rick is one thing. More power to her. But it seemed to me she completely threw him under the bus to ease whatever guilt she feels over Phoebe's death. And honestly, I wish Rick would man up and tell everyone what a psycho Phoebe was that night. I thought they would get to that when Bridge was scraping Phoebe's fingernails in the morgue, but they seem to have skipped right over that part.

Actually, it is folks from the networks and magazines and so forth. They don't want their property distributed in advertiser-free ways. NOBODY really wins from such piracy.

Why do you think yr.globaltv.com is no longer US-friendly?

Who writes this trite? I am a master in the human mind, an expert on all things psychobabble related and you are being used by Rick.

Taylor totally re-wrote everything in her argument. She looked like a fool and did her foolish chicken dance to match her words.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
