I will give you that....

but, Sharon also let Laurens step daughter take the fall for her crimes.

Furthermore, Lauren & Sharon are not BFF's.

I know and I get why Lauren is mad. I don't know, it just seems awfully strange to me that nobody is really saying "WTF is wrong with Sharon" because clearly stealing is not something that Sharon would normally do

Everyone's intelligence went down a knotch it seems. Victor immediately knew something was wrong when he saw her I give him that credit, usually Jack is reliable but he's a sucker

I agree, the obvious big question here should be, what's wrong with Sharon since she clearly doesn't do this. Although, everyone in town is is acting so blase' they just don't even seem to care about the real issue here.

But its not like everyone in town should care.

I think the obvious people should - Nick, Jack, Noah. Perhaps Victor. MAYBE Nikki. Thats it. (Brad, if he were alive).

Nobody else really knows Sharon. And of those above Noah really doesnt seem much to care and Nick cares more about her not going to jail rather than what she did and whys he did. Then there is Jack... i cant really commit because my hatred of good ol jackass always clouds my view of him, lol.

To me, it seems like he cares too much. I'm kinda tired of his yelling sessions at Sharon, all due to his undying love for Eden.

Right now, the only thing Nick is concerned about is "little nick" and when the next hook up is. I think that Jack was onto it there for a while that something was wrong with Sharon but he's been so pre-occupied with Mary Jane lately that it seems to have taken a back seat... just like with Nick, he's always got his hands full with Red. Therefore, who is left to care? I'm surprised they haven't brought Nikki into this. Where the hell is Dru when a sister needs her?

I guess this is my thing, Nikki doesn't really know Lily right? But if Lily was arrested for stealing and JT and Victoria told Nikki I think the first thing out of Nikki's mouth would be "Well that doesn't sound like Lily." I don't know why we haven't gotten that from a single person on the show regarding Sharon. Everyone is very blase about it like stealing is something that she does everyday. I'm not saying that people should care or rush to Sharon's aid, but I think it's strange that nobody is even going "Sharon Newman is stealing? Why would she steal?" not even in idle gossip (in a conversation not unlike the one Nikki, Victoria and Katherine had about Neil quitting Newman).

I thought Lauren was very reasonable in her reasons for wanting Sharon to pay for her crime. What kind of example does it set for both Noah and Eden that Sharon should get away scott free because she's the town "Darling"? Its like this character should somehow be protected from any fall out from her affairs, and now her crimes, why?

What kind of example does she set for Eden when she stands by and lets Gloria, Michael and Kevin get away for their crimes? Puh leaze, she loses all credibility by nature of the people she hangs around and supports.

I don't think Lauren was very reasonable at all and Sharon being the town "darling" has nothing to do with it. My biggest problem is people's complete, I guess or the lack of questions about WHY Sharon would do this. Does Lauren actually believe that a very normal and mentally healthy Sharon would steal those books or those clothes? No, I don't think so at all. I think they all know better. In fact, if I lived in Genoa City and someone said "Did you know Sharon has been stealing things all over town", the first thing I'd ask is "What is wrong with her" or "That doesn't sound like Sharon". Really, why would Sharon need to steal books or clothes? She doesn't appear to be hurting for money at all. Lauren was pressing charges for revenge really. She was mad at Sharon and I get that, but I don't really believe that her reasons were noble or that she was trying to set some grand example for Noah and Eden.

I do agree however, that Sharon needs some therapy.

Also, while Sharon has made mistakes and absolutely owes Eden an apology for the books, lets not act as though Eden is innocent or that Sharon wasn't somewhat justified in not particularly wanting Noah to hang out with her considering - I believe the first time Sharon and Nick met Eden she was drunk, dancing badly at an unsupervised party sticking Noah's phone down her shirt while he was trying to answer his parents' call.

IA. Sharon's behavior is not normal at all. To bring up alot of great points

OMG, you are my soul mate. The only other Brittany-hater I've found around these parts

Count me in as a Brittany-hater. Hated her from the get-go. Hated her being rammed down my throat as the next Young Heroine with a Burgeoning Singing Career. HATED.

By that standing you cant judge anyone on soaps for anything. They should all allow everyone a free pass.

I dont think anyone cares about Sharon, and really... should they?

I didnt mind Lauren pressing charges against Sharon. It was the self righteous and hypocrtical rant that came alogn with it that bothered me. Also she shouldnt have said she was doing it bc she needed to set an example for Eden. Simply doing it bc Sharon stole $10,000 in merchandise and nearly set Eden to jail was enough. Anyways it came across to me as if her anger towards Sharon was stemming from her talk earlier with Phyllis and getting revenge for her BFF

Lauren's known Sharon for years.

She just wanted an excuse to be self righteous about Eden.

Exactly!

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.
