This show just keeps getting worse and worse. Two steps forward, nine steps back. You know i hate to say this but I hope some soap takes the #2 spot from B&B just for a hot second, to really get Bell to do a total overhaul of the show.

-Play Felicia!!! She's got kids and a riuch history - let her do SOMETHING big!

-Bring back Massimo and let him team up with Bill Spencer/Jackie M. if you can't get JM, re-cast him!

-Make Brooke strong and smart!!!!!

-End Steffy and Rick some way, somehow.

-More fashion shows.

-Bring back Sheila, some way somehow plausible, with KB in the role. Or at least Dianna her daughter with Massimo and Nick and Ridge's sister.

-Make Owen and Rick rivals.

Taylor is the biggest assasination of a once-wonderful character I've ever seen. She used to have so much class, grace and sage wisdom. Now she's a horny drugpusher who will do anything to get Ridge.

An addendum to my list above - bring back Macy!

They don't need to bring back any characters, they need to get rid of a few, Taylor, Ridge, Steffy, and rick to start with. Make Brooke a strong business woman, End Nicket and make Nick Marone Nick Payne. Use Clarke, Felicia and Thorne more. But most of all BRING BACK FASHION. We need a fashion house to replace Spectra and go head to head with Forrester.

Well, what was the point of "having the entire cast" on a episode if 75% of them barely said a word? Do TIIC have to pay them less if they're on, but don't say anything?

I thought Brooke's dress was horrible. The top was fine---but the flyaway things hanging off the skirt made it look like something a 13 yr old would wear to her first "big" dance. And I thought it was totally inappropriate for the mother of the bride.

There was something really off about Bridget's dress. It looked like the top needed to be fitted more, I'm surprised if everyone wasn't holding their breath waiting for a "wardrobe malfunction". And that thing slung over her arms? WTF?

Did anyone ever answer the question about why/how Bill got an invite? And what was the point of dropping the totally random bit of ancient history that Stephen had once worked for BillSr?

All in all---BORING. I don't know why TIIC have gone down the Nick/Bridget road again, other than they don't have a clue about what to do with either of them.

I thought Bridget's dress was nice and it would have looked nice on her...had she been about 20 years older. Thats a grandma wedding dress, something you'd expect on a woman getting married later in life She is too young to pull a dress like that off. She was also too thin and wasnt filling it out quite the way it should be

I wish Taylor would go to Ridge again with her pills and wine seduction, unaware that he's found Stuffers Valiums and he'd OD. I'd love to see Taylor trying to weasel her way out of killing Ridge or putting him in a permanent coma.

I wouldn't describe it as a "grandma" dress...it was extremely plain though. And it seemed duller because (except for Brooke and Katie) everyone around her was in sparkly, eye-catching dresses.

    • 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!!!
    • For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
    • My question was basically is Dani the only character to have a bedroom? And then the response was Jacob and Naomi ONLY have a bedroom as their set .
