Monday's episode is classic! GREAT script! Love Taylor. Love Steffy. Love Brooke whose finally lost her kindergarden teacher's voice. Love that Stephanie might actually be doing something soon. Love Katie and Bill. Good to see Eric back.

My only complaint...why giving the company back to the Forresters, why did Steffy forget Thorne and Felicia? Stephanie I can understand, but giving the final ownership to Taylor is suiting her agenda. Makes her no better than the Logan's. That spot should've gone to Thorne.

Why do they insist on those cheesy effects? The "division of Spencer Pub" bs? You can't tell me it wouldn't have been cheaper to plant some temp sign on the grounds at "Forrester" for Ridge to take a sledgehammer/bulldozer/ravenous beaver to. Instead of paying for some CGI techno-geek's time, knowing there was no way to make it look good.

That reminds me. At the Daytime Emmys Thorne said in an interview with Navell that he'd have a storyline soon. It hadn't been written yet, but Brad Bell already told him what the story was and it sounded good. Obviously nothing happened and I refuse to believe he plots that far in advance. I wonder if that was just a way to sucker him into signing a contract or was it a real story that got dropped?

I wonder what kind of contract he has. Why would they sign him to four more years to appear twice a month?

This whole soap is a cheeseball! I love it! Only on B&B could you have Hunter Tylo doing what she does alongside Heather Tom. Only on B&B could you have a character like Brooke as your lovable heroine. Only on B&B could you have sex with the girl you raised as your daughter. Only on B&B would your matriarch strangle your heroine. B&B is full of cheese and camp. I'm glad they went all out with the cheesy CGI. It was hilarious. The entire episode was hilarious. It was a classic.

If Brad's not gonna write for him, why would he want him on a contract? I think Brad has best-of-intentions, but then gets distracted (ooh, Ric Hearst is free! Ooh, so is Sarah Brown! That Conroy fella from GL was cool)...and everything is in the air. In this week's SOD, Lesli Kay says straight up she's not sure there will be a place for Felicia when ATWT is done. So she knows the score....

I think thats wishful thinking. I thought it was going to stand for Thorne considering they were meeting in Thorne's office but he wasnt even invited. This is clearly a plot point to start up the Taylor/Ridge/Brooke triangle YET again. Its about that time of year. I cant beleive she owns 25% of Forrester now and that neither Ridge, Eric nor Stephanie said anything about that, especially Eric. Thorne be damned. I did have to laugh at the silly Logan twits assuming REST stood for Ridge Eric Sustainable Trust. They looked so dumb

Steffy's biggest accomplishment, so far, is sex with her uncle... no one in the family wonders how the twit was able to wrest control of FC away from a cutthroat mogul? Just when you think this show can't get any dumber, the writers meet the downward challenge and blow the show's credibility to the wind!

I wouldnt say Winsoer isnt working. They simply arent using him. I think they stopped caring for Thorne once Nick came on the show as Ridge's other younger blonde brother and even now they arent even playing that connection. Thorne's last significant story was when he was with Taylor, like 3 years ago? I thought he and Katie had potential but that sizzled almsot as soon as it started. I still think he could work, if only they'd use him

I think right now they are just so caught up in the moment and happy to think about that

    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
