I am so happy someone remembers that Taylor's maiden name was Ashford when she came to the show! I thought I was making things up :)

Just like Maggie Forrester's name was Hannah when young Jessica first came to L.A., Bill Spencer had mentioned the name of Caroline's mother being Marianne and Melissa and from what I remember, in the eighties Stephanie's sister had been mentioned as Lauren.

Really? Oh, I missed all these continuity errors. This is fascinating.

The one (but that's pretty typical for soaps, I guess) that jars me constantly is Taylor's unexplained shift from oncology to psychiatry.

This show has gotten even stupider. At least when it was unwatchable before, you could almost tell the show knew how horrible it was and tried to quickly wrap it up. This Bill Spencer s/l looks like it was purposefully orchestrated - and it has no logic whatsoever.

- Bill Jr. still has no motive at all for hating anybody. He's "always wanted to own FC"???? DD is playing him like a cartoon.

- A friggin BLOG/webcast has brought FC to its knees? Show me one example IRL where a powerful company has been brought down by a blog/webcast.

-Watching Brooke sit there and do that insipid webcast made me want to hurl my chai latte at the screen. She really is as dumb as Stephanie thinks she is.

-But Stephanie is in good company cause her IQ has dropped like like Owen's pants in every other scene with Jackie (no complaints there). I guess in order to prop up Bill, they're sacrificing Stephanie - the only dependable character on this show for years?

- Thank God for DVR's - does anyone at all care that Nick and Bridget are back together? Anyone?

-They're the favorite to win the Best Show Emmy this year??

- And finally, WHY ON EARTH DOES BILL JR. HAVE TO BUY FC FIRST, AND THEN STEPHANIE & CO. BUY IT? Why doesn't she just buy it herself?? And doesn't Karen have ANY say on company aquisitons??

P.S. - WHY DO I STILL WATCH THIS SHOW???

A very sexy hairy cartoon.

Let's ask Chris Engen?

Yeah. But it's also kinda funny. I just think Brooke is the cutest little thing. All she has to do is crook her finger, wear her teddy or cry her tears...and I'm her boy. You said something about Vail Bloom in dmarex's avatar in the Y&R thread a few weeks ago. Well, that's also Brooke, IMO.

.

Yup. For the "Stormy Weather" episodes.

Major logical flaw. Which tells you that Bill Jr. is not going to give it up.

Brandon Beemer, Don Diamont...maybe Texas Battle or Kyle Lowder?

And Katherine Kelly Lang! Damn!

I just have to comment on how amazingly hot LAD/Jackie looked this week. Once again, she pulled off the skirt and boots very well. She looked young in her outfit and they way her make-up and hair was done. I already rewatched her scenes in Tuesday's ep a couple of times. LOL

    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.    
    • @MaximThis really  old song popped into my head this morning ....

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
