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:

I try.

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 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.

No she wasn't. :)

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!

    • Thank you for the info about SFT related to EON. I thought about adding SFT to my watch list, but I don't know if it's the kind of soap for me. I know very little about it except for a few of the actors and that it was on two different networks. I also know based on this board or somewhere else that the two Lizas both died young from cancer. Warms my heart to see so many EON people on SFT because they are such good performers and I wish they had been moved to other shows. Perhaps, they were and I'm just not aware of it.
    • There was a few times when Silk Press Sheila came into her apartment after going grocery shopping.. she could have been unloading her items as she talked to Eva or Ted and saw a few of the products on the counter that are P & G products.
    • I enjoyed today's show. I liked seeing Mona again and her confronting both Eva and Leslie. I did feel for Eva, especially at the end of their confrontation, when Mona said "Good", when Eva mentioning losing everybody she cared about. Though, I can understand Mona's anger and Leslie deserved every bit of her ire. Both Leslie/Eva betrayed her especially Leslie. Mona put her both her professional and personal relationships with the Duprees on the line and what Leslie/Eva did put her in an awkward position. Speaking of Leslie she continues to act trifling and caring only about herself and her needs. At this point, it only seems like she cares about herself and wanting Ted for herself. I'm not even sure how if her feelings for Mona were even sincere, though she called out about people turning against her after Mona left. I have yet to see Leslie really display that she sincerely cares about anyone, and I do think that needs to change at some point. I enjoyed Nicole and her scenes today with Leslie/her children. I also like that Martin took a more sensible approach regarding how the family should handle Eva. He did straight up acknowledge she was his sister, and it seemed like he was opened to up to accepting her. I think he will be among the first in the family to soften towards/accept her. And in spite of the way she was introduced into their lives, he will end up being happy to have two little sisters. I wonder again about Kat/Eva being twins/Eva being Nicole, when Martin/Kat brought up them being the same age and Kat even used the word "twins" in disbelief, when Martin suggested they shared a connection from the beginning.
    • LOL! They did show a Pantene and Dawn commercial today. Image them incorporating those into the show. 
    • He joined Julian in Bermuda when he getting a divorce from Ivy. And, was the one who tricked Theresa and Julian in to believing that they had gotten married there. That would be nice.  That was such a good book, and it was too bad that the show retconned it so much. I still have my copy somewhere.
    • Instead of Febreze, Eva pulled a few tissues of Puffs and cried into them. Hayley comes in with a pack of Always and is like "Well, Bill turns out I'm not pregnant." Andre and Derek sharing a bottle of Pepto after eating Ashley's cooking. Vernon and Anita drinking up their Metamucil. 
    •   I liked the actress who played Tina. She was not the typical soap hire. I hadn't thought of her in many years until I saw a Spauldingfield video of her. It makes sense if they were planning to make her Frank's daughter as she was tied to the Coopers and nothing else was done with her beyond singing and the relationship with Marcus that Rauch never cared about. David was hurt by Monti Sharp leaving the role. I don't blame Monti for leaving, as he was getting less and less to do, but Russell Curry was a very generic actor was too old for the part. Yes, black don't crack, but he was nearly 40. When David returns at the end of the decade they cast an actor who was a little too young, which just shows how little interest the show had in the character or black characters in general (and random recasting would return with the Boudreauxs). Marcus is a character who got a lot of buzz early on and then the show lost interest (again).  Anyway, if you stay watching, be warned that the Hart/Dinah/Roger stuff gets worse and worse. Luckily you don't have the same lengthy ties to the show so it may be OK for you. It made me feel a bit sick at the time. Thanks for giving more info. And to @DeeVee and @P.J. as well. I suppose there were tiers of people who were seen as disposable, and Eve was shielded for a time due to that tier. Once they were clearly getting rid of characters like Justin or Amanda, then she was also on that list (I know she left before they did but it wasn't that long before). Characters like Eve, quiet, able to be used in many avenues, are important for community, or they should be, although she had clearly reached a natural end. The problem is no one really replaced her - all the characters who were likely seen as dull were shipped out from 83-85, and we were left with an unbalanced canvas (and characters who were meant to be exciting but were still dull, like Calla, Simon, et al).
    •   Footballers Wives! That takes me back

    • I just find her obnoxious and I need somebody to start checking her (other than Bill) without couching it in you’re so strong and wonderful and Bill did you so wrong. Even Anita pulls punches with her. Her personality would definitely rub some people the wrong way and I hope once the canvas evolves beyond Dupreeland, she gets some adversaries who aren’t villains or 90-lb. weaklings like Haley.
    • Wow.... Anita and Dani are the ultimate symbol of mean girls.   I hate to tell this to Dani... but Eva's ability to do hair is a much more coveted job and skill than Dani's modeling.   I doubt Dani could cut it if she lost her money and was truly forced to start over from square 1.
