So Ridge just goes ahead with his cheesy reunion with Brooke and borderline-pornographic make-up sex without even breaking it to Taylor? Typical. :rolleyes:

I really wanted Tridge to be the outcome of this storyline. They had a more mature relationship and Tylo tends to elevate Moss. But Brad's apparent boner for Bridge isn't going anywhere so now I just want them to STAY together. Preferably on the backburner as the "token vets".

The imminent Whip/Steffy pairing is glaringly obvious. Frankly I would have preferred to see Steffy stay with Rick (or reunite with Marcus) and Whip hook up with Taylor. The age gap between these two is WAY too big. Plus, now there will be THREE young male actors in the contract cast (Rick, Marcus and Thomas) and no one to pair them with.

I never thought of that. I didn't see Whip/Steffy coming (I thought it would be Whip/Jackie, still). As for the boys, hook 'em up with each other. :lol: Wouldn't you love to see this cheesy, crazy show script a twisted, testosterone filled triangle? Oh my gosh, it would be on The Soup every single episode.

Whip and Stuffy, I saw no chemistry. But then I was too annoyed by this twit just being there. I'm like who the f**k is she? Girl go play in traffic. Her forced presence in this Owen/Jackie/Whip story irks me. And if RH is about to be paired with JMW then my condolences to him.

People have been hoping that for over 15 years. I doubt this time will be the definitive reunion, although I agree it should happen.

That pissed me off too. I wonder if the lack of Taylor is due to something going on backstage. She hasn't been getting as many scenes as her character needs since at least the time of Phoebe's death. It's weird. Plus, it's weird that Taylor hasn't been a credible threat to Bridge in years. I remember when she was married to Ridge and Brooke tried to break them up over and over and it never worked. This time they are making it like Taylor doesn't really rate.

I like your ideas.

And nice to hear from another Taylor fan (Juliajms sounds like another). Although I love my Taylor-Haterating friends, too! :P Whip and Taylor ... hmm? I'd like to see a chemistry test with those two. Of course, we would have to have a Taylor/Whip/Stuffy triangle because this is a Brad Bell show after all.

I liked Stuffy with Marcus, but I wouldn't mind if Marcus and Rick (and throw in Thomas for the heck of it) were to discover they have a little more in common other than Stuffy, you know what I'm saying? But wouldn't that be like the gay version of Jammy! Now I don't know ... that's just a bit too much. LOL! The CBS Daytime average audience would simultaneously explode! They might be able to handle kissing cousins and they might be able to handle a little boy/boy loving, but put those together ... :lol:

Poor Rick Hearst. Stuck with the anti-chemistry that is Stuffy (P.S.: love the name!). Who did she think she was, weighing in on Whip breaking up Jackie & Owen's "beautiful" relationship? She really isn't one to talk: like she gave Marcus a second thought in order to make goo-goo eyes at Rick. Also, what is her relationship with Jackie and/or Whip, exactly? Do they even know who she is? "Ridge's daughter -- you know, the one who's not dead."

Also -- Jacqueline MacInnes was such a natural beauty when she first came on the show. Now she looks heavily botoxed (and she must be, what, 22?) and badly needs to step away from the Mystic Tan.

Bridge = barf. I feel bad for the writers and actors trying to make this work as The Greatest Star-Crossed Love in the World Ever Ever EVAH. Unless this is going to end with twin coffins and misplaced letters and vials of poison in medieval Verona, they need to calm down with that ish.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
