I'm behind on episodes but... did I just hear right? Stuffy was pulling her usual smug, self-righteous BS with Bill and he said something along the lines of "I like your spunk, young missy. How about I make you head of PR?"

I'm wondering if Bradley is intentionally writing Stuffy as the character we love to hate. Or just hate. Because really. Having her hypocritical ass jump on every taken man in town is hardly endearing to a female audience.

Sarah J Brown = awesome. And you guys obviously haven't been watching GH because her hair looked like it had been dipped in tar over there.

too bad we still have to look at that sh-t and thats exactly what it is....sh-t

I thought her hair looked great on GH. The black suited her, but I dont know what to make of her current look. Its just messy and unflattering. It looked clean on GH but dirty and greasy here and thats in part due to the bad dye job

If they are going that route, Id prefer it if Steffy owned her slutty/bitchiness. I really hope they dont play her as some innocent victim here

Haven't seen MOnday's episode, but I've got to give it to B&B last week. Their set of episodes were consistently good and I **love** that Sarah Brown is on the show now.

So yesterday was the Bill & Katie wedding? D'oh! That was fast. What happened to the Stuffy Bill kiss?

No, the Bill/Katie wedding is at the end of the week.

The house is on the CBS lot, I just read a piece on Erin Moran's playing an old neighbor of the Logan's, and the house used is near the house used for exteriors of My Three Sons (Barry Livingston from that show is portraying her husband).

I gotta' say that I'm lovin the Logan stuff and the writers taking them back to their roots. It explains why the Logans remain faithful to Katie even if she sells one of them out for a man she barely knows, every chance she gets!

How about Steffy's 'come hither' dress? She just HAD to have Bill drive to Big Bear to tell him how sorry she was for kissing him and crossing the line... alone... at night... at Big Bear... she's so very much like her mother!

Sit your ass down Steffy. Really. Just sit your ass down.

She's doing this whole, "Don't tell anyone bullshit" to try and seduce Bill. Except she's nowhere near as clever as she thinks and Jacqueline MacInness Wood is literally incapable of playing that sort of conflicted bad girl to begin with. Both Steffy and Wood are so weak and pathetic. Brad would be doing viewers a favor by getting rid of them.

And Bill is alot more tolerable when he's not all flirty, creepy, and Quagmire-like.

I think this hair colour is a result of going from black to blond. That is the hardest and can't really be done in one session. Sarah Brown probably does not want all her hair to fall out, so is doing it over a period of weeks rather than hours or days. A month or so ago they showed a picture of her backstage with LAD and her hair was a nice blond.

I had to laugh at Stuffy's, "what if someone finds out?" How will they unless you tell bimbo? Its not like it took place in a hotel lobby.

I'm really glad that JG has gained some weight. A few months ago I thought she might be preggers but it looks like she's finally done with the turn sideways and disappear look she sported forever.

I HATE how quickly this show starts and drops storylines. Just a few weeks ago, Steffy was all over Owen and trying hard to break up his marriage and now she hsares one kiss with Bill and is obsessing over him? Huh? They literally JUST started having scenes and theres absolutely nothing romantic here. I cant beleive how the show is actually going for a triangle here when there is NO substance behind it as there hasnt been any build up at all

I think JMW is perfectly cast as HT's onscreen daughter. Neither actress has been able to sell their characters as innocent victims/seductresses. Taylor and Steffy come across as self-indulgent, annoying PITAs. Taylor has always played the 'innocent homewrecker' who apologizes and cries when she crosses the line - and she does that A LOT. Both Steffy and Taylor scheme and are then "humbled" when their schemes seem to be working. Both fault other women for their actions. Both treat Stephanie like a protective bulldog. Stephanie has to 'cleanse' their actions, the same actions she would condemn in anyone else.

P.S., I call B.S. on the BnB writers for stating that SB would be different from her GH character. She's a cross between Carly and Claudia... right down to the junk food habit and being forced to eat a healthy diet while pregnant.

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • 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.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
