That is a very interesting development for Brenda Dickson. Essentially, the case has turned around, completely, for her.

So she's had cash decreed to her, an alimony order and it seems like more cash on the way.

She must be thanking her lucky stars that she bought her mother a condo in Century City ages ago, the very same condo she now calls home.

Good for her, I hope she has her life together.

No, that wouldn't work for him because she'd become his biggest creditor and seize all his assets. He still has that Hawaiian mansion of theirs. If he did declare bankruptcy it still wouldn't get him out of alimony, for the long term, she'd garnish all his wages.

Thanks. I just wondered because of the part about him saying the publicity had ruined his business.

I have to admit I never really thought that this would happen - I guess reading her blog/website, she made it seem like such a conspiracy against her. I hope she does get the money she is owed as it seems like she spent quite a few years helping him. Then I hope she might be able to get herself together and find some decent acting roles - it might give B&B a small boost to have her on briefly or in a recurring role.

I think Brenda and Bill Bell made peace, but I guess, given the B&B set is reportedly harmonious, it would be an odd mix. But I think having her on for a day or two might be a change of pace - just have her as a fashion designer or a reporter or crazy rich lady buyer - and might bring a small boost.

I think Brenda has ZERO pulling power. ZERO influence on daytime viewers. She hasn't worked since 1987. 24 years.

Morgan Fairchild made a comment, years ago, that it's important to 'click' with each decade's youth in some way. In the 70s, she did SFT, 80s it was the primetime soaps, 90s it was sitcoms, 00s it was Old Navy ads, we'll see how she defines 10s.

That's the problem, career wise, for Brenda. She is only relevant as a trainwreck throwback, a Hollywood caricature.

All that said, I'm glad her divorce is turning around, all she was looking for was an equitable settlement which is what she deserved. At this point, she did jail time unjustly, she's had her life destroyed. She deserves an equitable settlement and a bit of blood too.

I agree she won't be any type of big draw, but B&B and Y&R have both brought in people who have little to no pulling power (look, it's that guy who was on The Practice ten years ago! It's Hal Linden, whose only real show ended in Reagan's first term!) and yet hyped this as a big deal.

I think that the whole story of the Brenda/Bell feud ending in a cameo appearance, speculation on what might happen backstage, some silly campy fashion show moments, might bring in a few curious viewers who followed her personal dramas as well as the viewers who remember her from Y&R. She was in what many consider a golden period for Y&R and even if she has changed a lot and her last years weren't the best, it might work as a nostalgia factor and a way to bring back fans who have moved on.

      Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.

      I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story.

      Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...

      And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow

      Today's episode was excellent. Clearly it was confrontation day and they didn't disappoint. I'm glad they didn't forget Mona in all of this and gave us an opportunity to see how she's dealing with this. A major highlight for me were the Kat and Martin scenes. Their chemistry is off the charts and I don't understand why we haven't gotten more of this. I love how they take turns calming each other down. They feel really well matched and believable as siblings. Speaking of siblings, they anvils were dropping strong that Kat and Eva are twins but I do wish someone would mention that they are essentially hood twins which might throw people off the scent.  I'm one of the people who enjoyed Joey and the gambling storyline so it was nice to see him again. It was nice to see different characters like Mona and Eva in that element instead of the usual players. When Doug arrived I don't know what hit me but I just see a funeral in his future. He seems so hopeless and has the worst luck. I just can't see him surviving the year at this rate.

      In fiction there has become an expectation by some that every Black character should represent excellence and perfection. It's not like we are talking about a Tyler Perry show where none of the characters are happy and everyone hates each other with a passion.

      And on rewatch, I could've done without the unsubtle praising Matt like he was the only one who ever accepted Van as she was...but TPTB and their agendas.  It was totally in character for Vanessa to shut down emotionally until she was alone. While she could be volatile, both she and Henry believed in keeping emotions private.  Thank God it's still Bryan Buffinton in the role for both Henry's and HB's funerals. It just wouldn't have been the same with Ryan Brown, who couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. Roll My Eyes.
