(I cut out the video since all you have to do is go to the last page to see it)

I agree with you. They just casually rewrite history without a care for how it makes the characters look. Has it only been a year since Phillip returned with a horrific butchering of his character, and not a care in the world from him about what he had done? And where was Phillip now? Too busy dealing with evil cattle rustlers to see his dying grandmother? Why do you use your show's history as confetti?? This stuff is pointless and somehow they think they need to become even more pointless. And I say this as a fan of Lauren and Jill. I'm sure someone who started watching more recently and has been trained by the show to not care about either of them will probably be even more annoyed.

They obviously think they are somehow "honoring" history with this BS, even though they just slap together a half-assed effort.

Yes, it certainly HAS been poulated by nice people. that's what we're bemoaning, the complete lack of good characters to balance out the bad. the good characters were:

Stuart Brooks

Leslie Brooks

Liz Foster

Brock Reynolds

John Abbott

Traci Abbott

Cricket

Amy Lewis

Olivia Barber

Paul Williams

Paul is really the only one left. And he gets bupkus for SL most times. He should be the TRUE hero of this show, not that wrinkled old bastard.

I love how people keep bringing this up despite the fact it happened almost 30 years ago and has since been rectified. We need fresher examples! :P

Anyway,

Jess Walton is a Goddess. There are no words to describe her. The fact that she was so heartbreaking despite awful writing and direction says it all. She never falters--never.

But why the rush? I mean, really. We have Liz's death and the reveal in the same episode? Pace yourselves, bitches, pace yourselves.

    • BITD I was posting about how interesting it was that Denise had been with this same guy for simply years but they just did not marry - then that year they married! 
    • Random takes from this week: - Bill’s been played way too soft by the actor. I just can’t buy him doing anything truly sinister. I wish he had more of that old-school Victor Newman edge. - On characterization: I’m fine with Leslie being shown as a narcissistic and cruel mother—as long as she doesn’t tip into full cartoon villain territory. Dani’s involvement in Nicole’s storyline feels natural to me, and I really like that Martín is such a hothead, which totally clashes with his polished political career. No wonder no one wants to confide in him. Also, I don’t mind Haley’s characterization at all. - I’m still annoyed they dropped the whole lawsuit storyline. That’s why I’m a bit hesitant about getting too invested in the June plot. Also: I can do without another instant-sibling storyline. - Ashley and Derek? Totally fine with them in small doses. That’s the best way to handle those two. - Thank God Ted is getting recast. I honestly couldn’t handle that constant swaying much longer. - Speaking of Ted: maybe I’m in the minority here, but that hotel set is hideous. The oversized boiserie makes everything look flat, and that artwork on the wall? Bland, ugly, and lifeless. - I’m 50/50 on the product placement. On one hand, it’s totally misplaced and campy—especially when it shows up in the middle of emotional scenes. It just feels wrong. But on the other hand… here we are talking about Febreze and Tide. So maybe it is working? I honestly don’t know. - I don’t have any issues with the fashion on the show overall, but André’s wardrobe is just off. Not in terms of style, but size. His tops are way too tight and actually make him look even shorter than he is. Same goes for Smitty. Both of them would seriously benefit from some larger blazers or chunkier sweaters.
    • Summer is here bishesssssssssssssssssss I'm so happy!
