I'm surprised to hear this. Dayzee really hasn't been shown much so I thought she had already met her quota of airtime. I wonder what will become of her and them if the spoilers of Thomas and Brooke are true.

The whole psychedelic special effects were pretty neat (for a soap) and hilarious.

I don't know if this was the first time, but I noticed today that they took the applause out of the opening. I've found it to be kind of jarring, especially in the middle of intense scenes/episodes. It was very effective to take it out for this episode. I actually think the opening sounds better, in general, without the applause.

Brooke & Thomas high off berrys!! laugh.gif Omg literally one of the most hilarious things I've ever witnessed watching. I really... kinda loved it. From the direction, to the music, to the bizarre effects. I could not stop laughing at Thomas & Brooke galloping around that beach having the time of their life. Thomas flipping around and wrustling with the seaweed laugh.gif

I found the CGI stuff really cool but highly embarrasing at the same time. I mean wow!! Once they stepped into that magical...I don't even know what that was...I started to cringe a little bit!! But it was so cool how they did that. I applaud the show for embracing CGI in that style!!

Ridge & Taylor inside that boat sailing around the ocean was pretty cool to, the background looked really realistic.

Steffy and Bill wub.gif loved them sitting down & talking. For once Bill wasn't being resistant or mean at all to her. It was really nice. Lol @ them missing seeing Thomas and Brooke running across the sand on that monitor. Aw that's to bad...

I noticed to! Maybe they listened to us! I remembered us discussing this a while back. I like the theme without the applause! I hope it's a permanent move...

ROTFL!! All of the close ups have been hilarious to me. Thomas eating his berry today, & also both of them taking little sips of their water in the cave a few episodes back.

I couldn't stop laughing and that's not a good thing, Brad... these are just a few reasons why this show is hitting record low ratings week after week. Don't forget this is a soap opera. When I saw all this madness, "Passions" came to my mind instantly.

If you're not going to step down, hire a ghostwriter or something...

This is the fourth story where Brooke was either raped or was somehow induced to have sex with someone she didn't intend to.

I guess Brad Bell gets off on this?

Bill Bell was the first soap writer to talk seriously about rape, not in ambiguous terms, but as a violation. Brad Bell has, yet again, trashed his father's legacy, for a cheap thrill.

I know Thomas was also induced by the berries and he didn't take advantage of her, I'm just lumping this in with the other sick stories Brad Bell has pushed on Brooke.

I don't really watch this show, but I tuned in to see the weirdness, and I thought this was pretty cool for a soap. They actually sort of represented semi correctly some of the tricks your eyes and mind do with light while tripping. I thought the whole thing was really cool, the flowers opening, his hysterical face while laughing on the ground and then the whole sense of euphoria conveyed. The truth is not as frolicky while you trip, but they had some ideas right. I think when the rainbow traveled across the sky (or something traveled across the sky anyway) I realized whoever wrote this sort of knows what they are talking about, because that is something entirely possible while tripping. Not a rainbow, but you could reflect light off a CD case for example, and watch as the light rises off it in a hallucination that is really just an enhancement of something you are actually seeing. I hope that made sense.

I totally see what you are saying!

And LMAO how could I forget to mention that rainbow. I died laughing when that stretched across the sky! laugh.gif

When Thomas and Brooke suddenly found themselves in that magical cave oasis land, wearing fresh new sarongs and everything, they looked like Adam and Eve laugh.gif I just realized this S/L is like Adam & Eve and the forbidden fruit!

That was a very bad acid trip, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. From the time Thomas started doing handstands and throwing seaweed, I was laughing out loud.

It was even funnier when Ridge said, "I can't even imagine what condition their in" and then it cut to the acid trip again.

    • Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate 
    • This show is definitely not one to deserve the axe.  especially the New Year’s Eve episode was crazy wild! there is a place where u can download nearly all episodes from October 2019 til today. But they don’t accept new people. https://youtu.be/aD-IXEJjymU?si=19wtpwthSNYOe-4y   this is from this years winter break when the returned. I loved it
