Beth didn't leave her hubby for Rob. There's an online SOD interview dated September 2004 that reported that her husband asked for a divorce. It's still up for the world to see. Rob started GL in the spring/summer of 2005 after Phillip "died" and Harley went to jail. So Beth was in the middle of her divorce when she met Rob. If the rest of the rumors are true then I guess Rob was her married and very short lived rebound guy. Unfortunately dating and breaking up with coworkers (especially a tv love interest) makes things awkward and opens the door to bathroom wall gossip×1000.

Neither Beth nor Rob talked openly about it. But when Rob talks about falling  in love with Mandy he claims to have connected with her from the day he met her. Mandy was engaged to another man back in 2005/06 and Rob had a wife and a (rumored) mistress...lol. I think Mandy and Rob went public in 2008.

Having Ben mostly with teenagers was a dumb idea.

 

To me she was like Martha Madison - a grandmother in a younger woman's body. No wonder Madison was supposedly almost a replacement for her later on.

 The saga continues. Hot Douche and Sweet Lil Thing are not being subtle about their relationship. They are seen giggling at each other's inside jokes and seen being very demonstrative in and around the company location.  Clueless Head of Company is delighted that this relationship is unfolding and puts the two on a project together so they spend even MORE time with each other. This puts Bitter in a frenzy and since she is known to have affaris with men she is on projects with, she is awarded a coworker herself, a hot muscle guy who is actually nice and charming but there is a catch, he is gay and not interested in the least, so Bitter, for the first time in many years is left without a man, while Sweet Lil Thing is pushed into a central role Bitter occupied.

 

Meanwhile a humpy young guy has joined the company and is having quite the success. He cocky on accolades embarks on an affair with a slightly older, very sexy coworker but dumps her for another coworker.  Older sexy goes BESERK and tears up offices.

 

All of this is observed by the jaundiced eye of a vet of the company, who annoyed by her unproffesional coworkers and the sad state of the company retreats into booze. This fuels more annoyance with Clueless as Veteran is even more mouthy then usual. Clueless feels that she may have an out by renegotiating salary , due to the company's decreased performance. She implies that veteran should take a cut or others will be fired. Veteran is an old hand at this game and runs circles around Clueless, holding her to her contract, and causing Clueless into even more crying fits...

LOL, that's not what happened.  Not a Laura fan, I see lol 

 

Listening to this one now. How sad that uber flamboyant John Conboy chastised Nancy St. Alban for snacking on goldfish crackers after having a baby, yelling that he's trying to get her back into a size 4. 

 

Laura Wright's facial reaction and words regarding Frank Grillo (ex-Hart) said it all. I always got the feeling he wasn't the nicest person to work with.

Lol...you just made an enemy in Martha. I remember posting something about the show and she bit my head off with a nasty post. She's a real b!tch

They mentioned a Bauer BBQ gathering and Laura said what Bauer BBQ...And then dissed the gathering...like she didn't care. 

Why wasn't this onscreen?..lol

Agreed..much more interesting then Jefferey Oneil and Reva getting married next to a hot dog machine.  I would pay good money to hear Zimmer say.."This is NOT my first time at the rodeo Wheeler, and I have dealt with far worse then you!"

      ALL: General Retro Soap Discussion

      By janea4old · Posted

      yes I thought of the Renee party... But this is different because I'm talking specifically about the revealer convincing someone else to throw the party.  And the someone else complies, having no idea what the revealer plans. I'm wondering if Michele Val Jean did a first with BTG in 2025. But the BTG thread is already so busy -- that I thought it important to *NOT* clog it up with discussing this, so I brought the question here instead. That way, if other reveals come up in conversation, it's not a problem on this "general retro soap" thread.

      She is diabolical! Remember in this scene she offered Martin a brownie which seemed so random? In this episode its revealed that when he was a kid, Ted used to bring him to a restaurant where the waitress would give him brownies....that waitress was Leslie. She was playing games and trying to jog his childhood memory

      Bish what? I was not expecting that, I was for sure expecting him to go after Nicole (He still can). Looks like Leslie put her out! I love these new developments, Eva Dorian Lording her way into Fairmont Crest. My good sis better trap that doctor.

      Well, in a way DAYS "Renee Dumonde DiMera Threw a Party & Invited Everyone & Then Told the Whole Town Off" if you see what I mean. She definitely pretended that she was throwing this shindig for a pleasant reason while she KNEW her real intent wasn't pleasant AT ALL. And, everyone in Salem was targeted by her in this way.  I mean it was supposedly a celebration of her engagement. But, that is not what happened! I think it checks off all your boxes. And, before today I would definitely have called it "singular". There was nothing like it. Now, there's something not only similar but possibly .... more far-reaching? I was just struck by a thought. When MVJ was tasked to write a catfight, she wrote the best catfight that has ever existed. I'm not sure but what if she's done it again?!!

      What's with this show constantly encouraging women to take back men who aren't worth a damn, then end up doing it lol. This was realistically a 4-episode week considering all the flashbacks to the showstopper can collectively form a 19-minute episode on its own.

      Naomi was in Monday's episode, though the client wasn't. Naomi and Jacob were at Uptown with Chelsea, Allison, Derek, and Ashley. And what an amazing episode that was today. Tricia Mann-Grant was absolute perfection as was Ambyr Michelle. I cannot wait to see Dana mix it up with the Duprees, especially Anita.
