LOL at our Friday cliffhanger

I was expecting the Johnny/Carly scenes from Thursday to continue into Friday, how could they not? Carly's last statement to him was "What do I have to do to keep you away from my son?" We just get nothing after that?! Disappointing. I love Carly/Johnny scenes.

The snow white wyndemere girl stuff is just laughably bad. It's even worse now that they've brought Spinelli into it. Just embarrassing. And she's Ewen's patient? Boring. What's the point of all this? I still don't get what that Laura painting has to do with anything. This story is so flat.

I find the Tracy/Anthony Z stuff sorta funny & interesting but it's pretty sad that Luke has been nowhere in sight. Where the hell is he?? Not that I care that much but damn.

Can Monica please go sit her ass down in a rocking chair and STFU already. Bitch continues to have NO ROOM to talk but still manages to STRETCH it out and bash Liz non-stop. Wish Liz would stop playing so nice with that hag. Ugh! Monica is just pathetic to watch & listen to, she is making a total fool out of herself. She needs to drop it already, especially at work.

That was a funny moment with Alexis/Sonny/Mac/ex Mayor Floyd on Thursday's show

Looking forward to seeing how this turned out: http://nymag.com/dai...ital-movie.html

weird manscaping

I think it's actually natural--I've known guys with chest hair patterns like that. (At least I hope so unless it's some weird shaving trick to make your pecs stand out or something I'm not grasping...) But for once I actually wondered "Why DIDN'T they make him wax" when usually I'm annoyed how guys with obvious hair are waxed clean for soap shirtless scenes...

Monica doesn't need room to talk, and this is what they should have had her doing for years. Instead of Epiphany, who is merely a grouch (and a selfish grouch who ate all of Olivia's christmas food at that!) Monica brings a nasty streak to the table the show needs. Tracy doesn't interact with enough people to spread the snark around.

Monica has become irrelevant, she serves no purpose whatsoever.

I do have to LMAO at her lack of faith in Jason's marriage :lol:

Correct.. (I've only seen recently) that she snarks at Elizabeth if she is to snark what about her killer son who didn't want her to know...if she's not fawning over Jason & his wife she's snarking at Elizabeth what is the point here she's done this for how long now? Its been done lets move her ass on. Another poster put it succinctly "

GH Law says Jason's halo never be tarnished - EVER! - so this is what we get 24/7/365 when Jason is involved. Whitewashing and excusing." That's Monica's purpose...I am a Monica fan but not when she is in Jason (& Michael) brown-nosing mode. Historically she's never cared for Sonny & never missed an opportunity to snark at him the day she champions Sonny then I'll have a problem.

quartermainefan,

Monica knows nothing of Elizabeth's relationship w/Jason she wasn't even in his life when they were together so this is all just a waste of screen time but for those who

know the story this is not exactly how it went

down.

Monica's just not fun to watch. She's 70 years old having beef with a 30 year old over her non-existent relationship with her dead grandson. It's like, seriously? Liz is the devil, but Sam -- who also knew Jake was your grandson, hired thugs to "pretend" to terrorize him and Liz, as well as watched him get kidnapped and stayed silent about it -- is an angel sent from above? I just don't take her seriously. She's unprofessional, immature and has a really warped sense of reality when it comes to Jason. She was kind of amusing bitching in the 2 Quatermaine scenes a year, but other than that, I can do without Stretch Tight.

She's no longer on probation. She's been blackballed.

There's no real balance for Monica now. No one she can be vulnerable with (Jason doesn't count because that's a very one-sided relationship). I wish they could at least bring Gail back for a day.

(sigh)

Luke gave Tracy a divorce back in October after he returned, stating that he wanted to set her free and that nobody in the family needed him anymore.

We don't know who killed Lisa.

Soapboy will be crushed!

Excellent point that's what is missing .... I couldn't put my finger on the problem I'm having with her.

Basically Monica's only purpose now is to be trotted out when GW wants to remind viewers Liz is the whoriest whore who ever whored

Which is a valid project everyone needs to remember who Eliesabitch really is. Too many women have been thrown off the show because they had to be sacrificed in someway for her just cause she pushed out Morgan's first child six years ago.

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.
