I long ago thought Eric or Stephanie's extended clans -- or the Spectra extended clan -- could have been used to rejuvenate this show. Sadly,. they decided to return to the Logans...and especially because they have sex-dolled Donna and to a lesser extent Katie...and Rick is kind of a vapid disaster...it hasn't helped at all.

Good observation about using the ex-head writers to keep the show going 'cause Brad himself is now out of steam.

I think they need to bring Mick Cain back on a regular, full time basis. He was cute as hell, and I thought he could act. I tuned in today for the first time in a while, and I'm gonna watch again tomorrow... I like this thing with the "Dare" line. Underhanded corporate backstabbing always piques my interest. And MY... Rick Hearst looked scrumptious today, black turtlenecks are very flattering for him... I wanted to sop him up with a biscuit. I'm just going to say it. The only thing that REALLY REALLY bothers me is that Jack Wagner at this point looks 5 years OLDER than Lesley Anne-Down. Am I right, here?

I'm a bit offended by today's episode... all this snickering about 80's style, and acting like it's some bunch of tacky stuff. Today's fashions will be looked upon 20 years from now as dull and lifeless. Their "bad" fashions that Eric and Ridge designed were basically good gowns with bad elements... mainly the belts and the shrug on Steffy's dress. Take the belt and shrug off of Steffy's gown, and it would look like something Bob Mackie would do. Simply take the belt off of Brooke's gown, and it's perfectly lovely. When it came to Donna's... relace the skirt with a long, straight black velvet skirt W/slit, and you'd be ready to roll. I don't like how they are acting the entire gowns are bad.

For everyone who thinks glamour is a bad word... watch THIS: (Daytime fan, I miss you!)

Yeah...other than that first design, complete with fugly boots, these dresses seem rather common, not horrifically bad. Brooke's dress was a horrid color, and looked dated, but not ugly.

And why are Nick and Sandy so shocked her rape kit was never tested? Have they never heard of shortages, backlogs and cold cases? California's been inundated with economic problems for years. You'd have to have your head buried in the sand to expect every rape case gets treated like it's on CSI.

really? I thought they were a hot mess and not something someone from today would be caught dead wearing on the red carpet or anywhere else for that matter

Anyone else find Nick trying to track down Sandy's rapist dumb?

Any bets it'll turn out Brooke's rapist Andy raped Sandy too?

I'm hoping that Dumb and Dumber lose their little game of sabotage. I'm really tired of their elitist attitudes, if they were such good business men they wouldn't have lost the company in the first place. I'm not a fan of Bill Spencer but I want he and Katie to win this one. As for Steffy -- she looked like a hooker in that dress, Donna's dress was two sizes to big for her and Brooke looked like the middle aged sex-pot she is.

My question is why are these two civilians allowed in the evidence room full of un-tested rape kits in the first place. Nick and Sandy both acted like they had a right to be there. Even in the world of fictitious soapdom THAT'S UNTHINKABLE.

I was appalled when they were about to start touch thngs but thank god the detective told them not to touch that

I think I read something about her rapist going to be revealed. I mean, really is it supposed to be someone we know? This thing happened 5 years ago off screen. To think that Nick is now super detective out to crack the case is ridiculous. I see a repeat of the Katie storyline here with Sandy falling in love with him bc he's standing by her. Nick will most likley cheat on Bridget and the two will divorce as moves on with pregnant Sandy

I don't look at B&B spoilers much...I don't know. It's just one of those soap conveniences writers like to claim uses and honors history.

I watched her whole show. It was terrific. If you can believe it, the oldest woman she made over is 11 years YOUNGER than Joan. Just goes to show what some discipline will get you in life...

Hush your mouth! Joan Collins IS Glamour personified. She is the best of the best. Her generation really understood the art of presentation.

Holy crap, it's you! Welcome back.

Eh. No.

Eh. No.

Joanie is Hollywood Glamour. Perhaps she is not Upper East Side 'Nan Kempner' style chic...but for OTT sequins, boas and rhinestones, Joan glitters and gleams above them all.

I have a different definition. She is trash Hollywood glamour. Real Hollywood classy glamour for me is Head/Adrian/Givenchy/Plunkett/others and all those divas of black & white films: Garbo, Crawford, Dietrich and many others. The iciness, mysteriousness, sophistication and stylish costumes coupled with black & white photography and other factors made a difference.

Joan is all flashy, colours, over-the-top. I like it, but prefer just a tiny bit more the refinement and restrainedness.
