I already b*tched about that when the news broke. And will again when Bill. Jr. insta-arrives and is insta-thrown in a love traingle which if the rumored one happens will fail me by a mile.

Right now I relive the glory of Joanna Johnson, great ladies acting - once a B&B trademark - and good old days.

So what is the will about: I only know that both CLARKE (Brad actually remembers his history?) and DONNA are involved. Can't wait to see this episode and should get great - and campy.

Honestly, I don't know why they bothered with the reading of Bill's will. I guess it was supposed to be amusing, but it fell flat.

The real laugh of the day was Taylor declaring that she wasn't going to chase after Ridge because he was married. Yeah...right.

And am I supposed to know what CuckooPam is all cuckoo over?

I almost get the sense that this came together in a 2-day sitch. "We can get Joanna on Friday--but ONLY on Friday." So, this was hastily penned and shoehorned in. I mean, otherwise why not mention Bill for the last few weeks...have Stephanie express some worries, etc.

And so many potentially important people were missing from the will reading. Honestly, Clark is recurring and I'll bet Gareis just had a guaranteed episode to use up -- plus the "empty vessel" criticism was there for Stephanie to lap up like a spoon.

It felt slapdash. I was happy to see Joanna, but I always have a hard time putting the rest of my brain in "park"...even on a day like today, when I'm drugged to the gills and I can't breathe through my nose :)

^^^and another thing that ticked me off--Karen asks about Ridge, but not Thorne. As if we don't have enough people in LA focused on Ridge's love life, now even the visitors have to inquire about it.

Brooke and Ridge are NOT married! Had to get that out again since the show seems to forget

What was Bill's history with Stephanie? Were they an item or something?

Can someone explain to me how Karen fits into this family? Was she some long lost sister of Caroline or was she raised with her?

I seem to think you are right, but didn't they say they would run to city hall or something and legalize it?

Friends and co-manipulators...never romantic. Stephanie wanted Bill's daughter, Caroline, to be Ridge's wife. Over the years, when Ridge was a playboy or when he was involved with Brooke, Bill really hated Ridge. In addition, Bill had his own dramas (running a nudie magazine that Donna got "tricked" into posing for; romantic triangle with Margo and Clark).

Years after Caroline died, "Faith", a brunette country-style waitress in a diner was discovered (I want to say by Taylor's ex, Blake Hayes...but I can't remember). Anyway, she came to town, and it was revealed that when Caroline was a baby, her twin was abducted.

They tried to keep Karen "country-fied", but then when that wasn't really working, they quickly dyed her hair blonde again, she lost the country accent. The lady we saw yesterday was basically "Caroline", except in name.

We have NEVER heard of this Bill Jr. before. He is completely a retcon.

Sigh...as stupid as I think Brooke is continuing to defend Rick, is it any wonder why she feels guilty about his problems??? She's had both Stephanie and TAYLOR THE PSYCHIATRIST in her face for 25 friggin' years telling her his problems were completely, entirely, unarguably her fault. Not to mention her troubles with Bridget.

Forget that both Steph and Taylor had agendas in blaming his upbringing on her and not Eric or Ridge, since they'd defend their men at the time to the teeth.

Who, exactly does Taylor blame for Thomas' sudden whack-job personality?

I really don't understand---I thought the marriage on the beach wasn't legal in the first place. What's the crap with the marriage license? Oh....nevermind, Pammy kind of explained it. But, shouldn't they have mentioned some trip for a civil ceremony? Or did I skip that week?

    • Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.
    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.
