Nelson has confirmed that JG is pregnant. I think B&B should just write it in.

Eric: "Donna, it's time for you to cut back on the honey, you're getting really fat."

Donna: "Honey Bear, I'm not fat, I'm pregnant. I just didn't want to tell you since you've had that vasectomy or Stephanie has your balls on her bedside, whichever it is I can't remember."

That would be campy.

I agree. Eric already told Donna he doesn't want anymore children, so I'd love to see the drama this would bring among the various branches of the Forrester/Logan clan.

This sounds good.

Can we confirm Eric is sterile? I don't remember that... Of course, on a Bell soap, vasectomies can mysteriously "not take".

Since they're already wasting Justin Barber, the only logical way to do this is to pull an "Amber". She needs to have a night's dalliance with Justin...decide to forget about it...and then turn up pregnant. She'll spend 9 months (4 months on B& worrying about what's gonna "come out".

Meanwhile, Justin (deprived of his last son by Donna) is going to hover. "I will not let you take another child away from me. I need a chance to be a father to this child".

This feels like a total home run for this show....

I'm pretty sure Eric is not sterile.

Eric got a vasectomy in 1994, because he wanted to prevent Sheila from saying she was pregnant with his child and taking his money.

Was that ever reversed?

I didn't think I was pulling that out of my ass. Bell, feel free to borrow my storyline idea. It's not too late, Eric was just so enraptured by Donna's gigantic tits that he couldn't see past them to her belly.

They kinda reversed it when the Donna fling started. Steph - although she knew of Eric's vasectomy - said that in her book Donna only wants to get preggers from Eric... Hence, Eric seems to be as virile as old Victor Newman...

You mean we might really get an Eric-Donna-Justin WTD story??? Please let it be!

That story with Rick-Amber-Raymond(Usher) was one of my favorites. The ridiculous tension--for months--about what the color of the baby would be! And then, after thinking that the baby's color was the story, to turn around and pull the shocker of having the baby die.... That was one of those eras where B&B was ON FIRE. And then to have the devious Tawny spy Becky's pregnant belly.... Well, that was such a classic story that one could say it is STILL having fallout--over on Y&R.

LOL at Taylor's fantasy. Really Ridge is just going to leave Brooke because her sisters come over for dinner? I think a certain rabid fanbase has gotten Bradley's ire up so much he plots ways to deliver a Bridge Smack down once every month or two.

Good for Hope not going out for a sudden night shoot. Although I think this guy is a red herring instead of the rapist.

I really like Oliver, if Y&R wasn't so crappy I'd be wishing he was on Y&R as the new Noah as he looks so much like he could be Nick's son.

Brooke-Ridge-Taylor again?

Insta-aged Hope, a high school student, doing photoshoots?

Oliver (who seems cute) suddenly parachuted into the storyline?

Sounds like another week not to watch, eh? I keep wanting this show to bounce back!

I'm surprised Hope doesn't have a reality show. Isn't that the typical way of teenage royalty in LA?

I enjoyed today's show, it was great to see Sarah Brown get to do something other than begging Nick not to tell Bridget about her rape. I also liked Oliver calling Whip a geek, as much as I love the character that description is dead on. I expect to see them cutting to him telling Taylor all about World of Warcraft. Oh wait, that would require them to have that couple on when their "Romance" has been totally off screen.

I think the reason they did the Taylor fantasy was to get that rabid group of Brooke haters to get it already, they are sticking with Bridge and Tridge is over.

I saw an improvement.

Well, I guess the lack of discussion about B&B these days suggests no one is watching, :lol:

Seriously, am I missing anything good?

I new promo about Hope finding out more about her origins looked really good to me. I suspect that story will start Friday and I plan to watch.

is it necesary for them to do the Brooke/Ridge/Taylor triangle at least 4 times a year?

Steffy looks so pathetic feuding with a little high schooler

Did Sandy really need a brother. More worthless characters aboard I see

How pregnant is Jennifer Gareis? She looked noticeably preggers on Monday's show

I welcome more non Forester/Logan's. This show desperately needs another minor family to stop the incest stories.

I think that lighting guy that Hope was introduced to today might be the rapist. They've been dropping anvils that something is going to happen to Hope left and right. Then everyone will feel like $hit for dumping on her because she's a Logan/Sharpe and they should even if nothing bad happens to her. Stephenie treated Bridget and Rick well, but now she is calling Hope an embarrassment to the company? Stephenie can be mean, but she's always been fair even to Brooke's children with Eric.

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
