Even after that Assley was still running around blaming Estella. Maybe the script writer of that day wasn't up on the Patty framing when that was written and made it to the air. I think Ashley still owes this poor woman an apology and compensation for the damage done to her career and reputation.

Chloe is love even if they just buliding her around Billy & Chance. But I don't mind her in thed middle of good & evil. Anyway it was good to see her at work. To bad she got to work side by side Billy. I like that she has some place to go that didn't involved Billy.

Who wants to see more newbies? I dont think they should create one just so Sharon can have a little friend.

nah I think we are heading for a possible Ashley/Adam/Sharon triangle which will kill any friendship the two might be able to form. I have a feeling that both of these women will be locking lips with him in the near future

which is even worse bc NO ONE has apologized to Estella. She got fired and was treated terrible by Victor and Ashley and neither has even mentioned her. There hasnt been any follow up and thats a damn shame

LOL. So true....

I totally agree. I fear, however, that we'll never see Rafe or Estella again. I think they're just wiping that out.

Newbies aren't the sign of the beast, LOL. Properly integrated, slowly, with ties to existing characters, and slowly built into story...newbies are the sustainable lifeblood of a show's future.

It's not newbies that are bad...it is how they are integrated. But Sharon's grief group would be a terrific, organic way for her to make a friend that is sloooooooooowly built into story, and eventually becomes more than a friend.

Sigh. I disagree that most of the characters are like strangers.

I would have agreed with this statement during the late LML era, but not now. For all the flaws of the show, characters-out-of-character is not what I am perceiving. Nobody is running for senate or ditching the love-of-their-life for some greasy politico.

I think Adam and Sharon are doing just great in the early stages of this chem-test.

I thought that story made sense for where Nikki was at the time. As much sense as when Nikki went to work for Jabot. Or at least it made more sense to me than Sharon immediately getting over her third dead child so she could hook up with Adam. Or the backstory of Sharon stealing all her life and having blackouts, apparently created only so they could justify a WTD story with three men.

I think that we get caricatures of the characters. The show can say, "Oh, this is typical of them," but it's not really there underneath.

Estella's vindication is definitely a missing beat in this story. I wonder if it's because her job couldn't credibly be restored with Ashley living at the ranch now? Whatever the reason it's disappointing to me. Victor and Ashley both owe her an apology.

Totally.

But at this point, I'm irritated enough about the whole Rafe and Estella non-storylines, I'd just as willingly forget them.

I think if I want to see integrated storytelling, involving gay men, hispanic/latino people, and African American participants, I can just watch OLTL, right?

    • @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.
