And that's the sad thing. There shouldn't be occassionally "good episodes." It should be good all the time, or at least the way it used to be when I started watching.....6 months good, 3 months bad, 3 months watchable. Now it's like, every day is bad with maybe one good week.

Pretty much, but I missed the part where he's using her.

I think it's funny that [stephanie]"Jacqueline Payne was a whore?"[/stephanie] and she pretty much did the same thing with Owen by making him her rent boy.

Oh damn, I was hoping it was just me confused. But they are actually writing it this inconsistently. Not even a naked Beemer can redeem this tale.

Did you hear Taylor offer to PRESCRIBE RIDGE HIS OWN DOSE? After determining he was using too much of hers! WTF??? Does Brad Bell want to grind the character of Taylor into dust, so NOBODY gives a sh!t about what happens to her?

I confess...I want to see Ridge strung out. I want to see him high. I want to see him in agonized withdrawal. I want to see him in an intervention scene with his family around him. I want to see ALL the high-drama drug addiction with him. For he will be GHASTLY in each and every scene...screwed up face and all. And it will be CLASSIC, albeit not in a good way.

ETA: WHAT was up with Taylor's dress today? And did she wear a sports bra to slightly mash down her shelf-bosom?

I had zero zero interest in a vampire show. Couldn't care a less.

And then I saw True Blood. Funny, sexy, perverse, salty, with a shocking cliffhanger EVERY WEEK. Alan Ball realizes he's writing a soap with "Pulp Fiction" notes, and he plays it to the hilt. The thing is beautifully cast, ESPECIALLY the actors who play "Tara" and "Lafayette. Guiding Light fans will love that Michelle Forbes is now a regular (and of course B&B's AJ just started). Even the himbo-brother-of-the-lead-heroine is played by an Aussie hunk who started on Australian soaps (Ryan Kwanten).

This is not a show you can "preview". You have to SEE it and get to know the characters (like a soap). But, with that caveat....

Damnit! Just when I was ready to take a week off from watching this cycle of nonsense, I see the promo for

during Y&R. It probably won't be as good as

, but it will at least be fun to watch. Even if everything else sucks.

Damn, am I good at guessing or what?

I'm surprised they don't make Brandon Beemer wear boxers. I mean, seriously, his stuff is ALL OUT THERE. No matter what way they try to shoot it, you can visibly see it. It's like the white elephant in the room.

    • 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.
