I liked today's episode. I'm not even big on holidays, but I like seeing these characters have some normal moments.

I liked Anna's singing, but I'm not a music expert, so all I know is it sounded good to me. Anna has turned out to be a pretty girl, so if they brought her back this summer to be in a teen set that would work for me. Not that I think everyone on this show has to be conventionally beautiful, but the powers that be sure seem to.

I felt bad for Vikki and I'm glad the show hasn't forgotten that she was Lucy's mother for awhile. So often shows brush these connections under the rug.

Neil can't even refer to Sofia as his wife without cringing. It kind of pisses me off. No one held a shotgun to your head my friend.

I LOVED the look he gave her during Ana's performance. That was not a look of love but one of, "Bitch, would you roll up off me, please?" laugh.png

Nevertheless, if Neil finds marriage to Sofia so repulsive, then what the hell was he doing conceiving a child with her in the first damn place? She's good enough to get your freak on, but not good enough to put the ring on the finger???

And you're right, Carl, about the criticisms toward Ana. Most of the time, it went like this:

NEIL: Ana, would you pass the raspberry jam, please?

ANA: Sure! And I can sing while I doing it, too!

If everyone was feeling low, she'd sing to cheer 'em up. If everyone was in good spirits, she'd sing to celebrate their good mood. If someone went outside to check the weather, she'd sing when they got back to fetch their umbrella. UGH.

I saw a bit of yesterdays show and couldnt tell if the script calls for Diana Degarmo to be so over the top or if she's just a bad actress

AH has never looked better as Victoria. Her hair looked great and I loved the dress. Ditto on Chloe

This women is still around as Katherine. She comes across younger

Has MCE started yet?

Today's episode was GREAT... for a change. Of course, anything with flashbacks is what I want to see! I also like this combining the newer "stand alone" Christmas episode for one character with Bill Bell's "Christmas Miracle" that he always used to do. My only issue was this. If the "angel" was supposed to be Nikki's mother, why didn't she recognize her, at least from pictures? Even if her mother died when she was 2 or 3 or whatever... she at least should have known what her mother looked like from pictures. They should have had her recognize her immediately, and keep the rest of the episode the same. So.... is this the first on screen confirmation of Douglas' death? I said long ago the death of Douglas should have been worked into the story... but they never did it as far as I know. But they didn't even Give Liz Foster a funeral, so what do you expect? I'm glad to see Jeanne back, although she looks VERY tentative in her movements. I hope she's ok.

I also wanted to point out, look at those first 3 flashback scenes... I'm pretty sure the first two were from 79, and the third from 1980 or 81.... and notice how DARK the lighting was. Damn I miss that. And also notice what a GOOD actress Roberta Leighton was, and how BAD John Gibson was. Talk about wooden dialogue delivery. We know where all the blood in HIS body was! LOL

    • Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.
    • Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.    
    • I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

    • I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.
    • omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

    • There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.
    • Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
    • OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.
    • I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
