I took it as them wrapping up that story. It's not that she is the bad guy she has been wronged but she also came off with ulterior motives

Tyra sucks. I can't stand her. I wish they would have recast her if they were going to keep her around.

They really need to bring Olivia back on contract.

I enjoyed Woodland. I especially liked her when Brittany jumped down Nikki's throat for kissing Bobby. I never got into Bobby though and thought he was a waste. I would love to see her back.

She was fantastic!

That scene was great. The way she waltzed in like she owned the place and had civil yet bitchy convo with Nikki. And then slowly exploded.

I loved it too when she confronted Nikki and as Nikki walked away she screamed "GET BACK HERE! I AM NOT THROUGH WITH YOU!" and then almost the baby.

(or however it went, lol)

They have to throw Karen under the bus to prop Tyra. :rolleyes:

MarkH, sorry to hear about your allergic reaction to Brittany, but I wouldn't mind seeing her either.

I love how through MarkH's tirade, he still had the control and sensitivity to others on this board to not reveal the name of "the flesh-eating bacteria" LOL.

Well done, comrade.

I try.

I'd rather have Brittany than Amber.

*hides*

Them's fightin' words .

You know, if they ever do lose Amber, I'll be okay with it, 'cause I know she'll return to LA and make B&B more watchable for me.

Unless she pulls some kind of nasty interview, trashing her colleagues, at DaytimeConfidential.

I didn't see it that way at all. When Karen said something like "You're the one who gave me this dream..."...I saw Neil as the villain...for screwing with all these lives (mostly poor Ana).

My feelings for Neil at the moment are nearing the proportions of she whom I prefer not to name. He's got MAJOR atonement to do.

Here's what needs to happen...somehow. Tyra gets Ana back, and the two of them go back to that New Hampshire school for a fresh start. Neil tries to rebuild his marriage with Karen and she tells him to f*ck off.

Neil goes to Devon and Olivia and Lily and they tell him to f*ck off. Victor says 'You're a good businessman, but right now, a lousy man.".

Neil goes to the dive bar... If, during that visit, he perishes of alchohol poisoning, I would not write a letter of protest. But I'll get over my loathing for his deplorable behavior.

I took it as them wrapping up that story. It's not that she is the bad guy she has been wronged but she also came off with ulterior motives

I agree it is 'wrapping up', but not that her 'ulterior motives' were anything other than what Neil gave to her.

I am very sorry to see Karen turned into a weeping woman wronged by her man, and I sincerely hope that she gets some mojo back (kick boxing! preferably in Neil's groin!) before leaving his ass and taking a major sum of money from him in a divorce.

She was fantastic!

No she wasn't.

I totally agree. She needs to rip open that loser.

Yes! Didn't you?

Austin is love.

I loved her. And i thought Woodland, once finding her footing, was fantastic. I would love her return, even if it met losing Amber, whom i also love. I also loved her mother. Her entire story. And her romance with Bobby was... outstanding, IMHO.

I just figured you would have hated her and all her stories, idk why.

Sigh. I may have to stay out of this thread.

I'm not surprised that Sylph and I disagree (that seems to be the steady state), but JP my heart is broken ...

Anita Hodges was fine...I'd take her back. Except, she might bring that ... thing ... with her. (I might be able to buy a recast, but I see no need for that tacked-on peripheral character).

Nikki's romance with Bobby COULD have been outstanding...as much as it p*ssed off Braeden. But Bobby's romance and marriage and child with ... her ... oh I can't even hold my stomach to try to remember it.

I really hope no one in any position of power is reading this thread and saying "Hmmm...the fans want Brittany back". NO THEY DON'T!

I totally agree with this. Even the Amber part, she is so much more digestible on Y&R. Woodland was great!

Bring back Brittany!

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

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

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
