I couldn't stand Taylor's holier than thou "look how much you've hurt him" speech. GMAB...anything to deflect from the fact she banged her ex and then realized he was trashed, I guess.

If Brooke had tried that excuse, Taylor would have gotten on her high moral horse and called her a homewrecking slut.

CBS previews said that today Taylor and Brooke would have the ultimate showndown. That was it? What a letdown.

I dont think Taylor had a holier than thou attitude. She really didnt care and wasnt trying to defend herself. She was unapologetic and had no shame for screwing Ridge

That just made it worse---she pretty much acts like she has nothing to be ashamed of. She's more embarrassed Ridge y-poo isn't over the moon because he screwed her than anything else. Brooke nailed her on the "you're supposed to be comforting him" point, and Taylor pretty much ignored it and blamed Ridge's pain on Brooke.

Any competent psychiatrist would have pointed out ultimately Ric and Steffy's relationship is their relationship, and Ridge is going to have to learn to deal, or he'll do the same thing to Steffy that he's doing to Brooke--pushing her away.

She's not just a psychiatrist here...she's a mother and all of this is 100% personal. Her other daughter was killed last year and that type of pain isn't one that can so easily be seperated. She understands where Ridge is coming from, bc those emotions he has regarding Rick are ones she also shares.

It's about time someone went to the AMA and had Taylor's license to practice medicine revoked. Isn't it illegal to be administering prescription drugs without a prescription? Is she even allowed to write Ridge one of his own, with her conflict of interest? She knew she needed to get him inebriated to get what she wanted, which was why she kept pushing more wine on him. She also had a whole fist full of those pills the other day, yet when she went over for her seduction, suddenly there were only 4 in the bottle. Either Taylor is popping those pills as fast as Ridge, or she knew to only bring enough to get him where she wanted him, not in an ambulance after OD'ing. She is just as bad as Stephanie when it comes to doing anything to get Ridge away from Brooke. I guess she's hoping that the sex was so magical (if not memorable), that he'll gift her with a third rebound proposal. Desperate bimbo.

^^^^that's the spirit of what I wanted to say. But honestly, the entire show is so friggin' boring, I can't force myself to watch all of it. My stomach started lurching the moment "doped up Ridge" started seeing that pair of giant lips coming at him.

My other point was that Taylor "plays" at psychiatrist when it benefits her. Mostly when it comes to trying to convince Ridge Brooke's a demented, obsessive loon who's after him. Or Nick. Or Thorne, Eric or whatever male Taylor doesn't think deserves to be saddled with Brooke.

As much as I wanted to applaud Brooke's rather mature assessment of the situation, and literally "handing" Ridge over to Taylor----DAYUM...the one time she's really entitled to bitchsmack Taylor, she just gives up. Didn't DumbBell promise us "more camp" this summer? What?? That's only for TPIR and the Honeymoon from Hell plots?

Although, in some ways, I think it's the BEST way to drive Taylor nuts. At least if her bugged-out eyes were any indication anyway. :lol:

Taylor has no self-respect, she's going to accept Brooke's "gift", the man who admitted the drug induced boink session was a "mistake"?

Brad Bell writes these women as weak, stupid bimbos.

Oh well, bring on Brooke/Whip!

And, spoilers indicate Bill/Katie are about to hit the sheets, so rumors of Don Diamont's departure from the show are wrong, for now anyway.

    • 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.
