I've lost all hope with this show...

There isn't a single character, actor, story, or anything I care about anymore.

Did anyone try to follow Ryder? He left at such a suspicious time and since they suspect him someone should've watched him. Also, why is Chloe acting like Amber is some teenybobber? She is mentally challenged, but she's more than old enough for a baby. Amber is in her 30s and they need to remember that. She's an old lady by soap standards. On B&B her kids would be in their 20s played by actors in their 30s. Get with it!

I am digging the "Jana in a cage" story. It's nice to see Chloe interacting with Kevin, Amber, Daniel because she's always so isolated with Chance, Billy, and Mac. Loves me some Ryder. Please mama be Sheila, please be Sheila, please be Sheila!!!

I thought the Victor/Jack/Tucker scene was the high point, I actually started to ENJOY today until the Ouija board came out. There's just no focus, no continuity.

I love how people are blaming Melody Thomas Scott's new contract for why she's such an afterthought on this show, when it's pretty clear these hacks have no intention of writing for her.

Even before MTS's new contract, Nikki was being passed out and given little to do. I also highly doubt she would agree to re-sign for a nonexistent episode guarantee, in addition to other cuts.

It's always the actor's fault with today's Y&R. Or Sony's fault.

I guess it's also Stephen Nichols's fault that he continues to look so unattractive after looking fine at GH and DAYS...

I have a sinking feeling Malcolm will turn out to be Devon's daddy.

Not possible.

Err, how is it not possible? Malcolm has sperm. He could've knocked up Yolanda.

He could've knocked up Yolanda.

Not possible.

Devon knows his father.

Not possible.

Devon knows his father.

No he doesn't.

Devon's aunt, played by Della Reese, gave him a letter from Yolanda. Now the identity of his father is in question again.

Way back last year when I still cared I thought it would make for an interesting to twist for the real reason Tyra came to town with Anna was because that Malcolm was Anna's father. Way back when I still cared, thought Tyra was harmless, thought the show might actually see a period of better days etc. Dreams die hard when they don't come true...Damn you MAB, Sheffer, Hamner, Rauch.

^^ Maybe it will come true, sort of. I have a feeling Tyra is Malcolm's fiancee.

No he doesn't.

Yes he does.

Devon's father doesn't know HIM.

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.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

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.
