I have to admit, I did like Angelina's song today during the double wedding. The closing scene was kitchy, which is kind of fun for the Baldwins as that was what really endeared them to me early on.

In regards to Ricky, it is probably not a good idea to pair a new character with the most revialed character on the canvas (or the in ths show's recent history)... you are winning the portrayer and character no favours from the fans.

RIcky's a pointless character played by a lousy actor, so pairing him with Daisy won't make it any worse. I still don't understand why an actor who looks 30-35 was cast in this role.

I can't get past the terrible hair on Chloe, Victoria, and Daniel. Has this show become some type of grungy/artsy music video from 1993?

I think that the hair thing is so unfortunate too because for a while, I think they were the real leaders in hairstyles for women. Amelia Heinle especially had beautiful, Fawcett inspired layers, that showed off healthy her was (a far cry from the current frizz ball it is today). Hendrickson as well had a beautiful choppy bob, Taminn Sursock with beautiful waves, and even Adrianne Frantz had a very flattering straight styler which is a far cry from her current two-buck trailer trash style on B&B. I wonder if there was a change in the hair styling team? The first offender is really Sharon Case, I have no idea what she is thinking with the bangs/front layers of her very flat hair.

I think part of it is the choice of the actors, and the show doesn't care enough to step in, and part may also be "artistic" MAB. Since Daniel and Victoria are supposed to be "artists" (or she was, anyway), that may account for the awful hair.

Why does Daniel all the sudden care? Wait, more interesting question - why do I? This Lucy story is stupid and is going nowhere. I wish they never created that kid. So much fighting for no reason. I guess they are trying to recreate the much famed Daniel custody battle Phyllis went threw ages ago to get more people to like Phyllis?

On paper the idea of a man who doesn't want to be a father reluctantly accepting a child of rape is something which might be interesting, but between the show's insistence that Daniel not wanting this is him not "being a man" or "stepping up", and the atrocious Daisy character, and the unnecessary decision to involve Bacteria (who quickly dropped interest in Lucy without looking back), it's just a mess.

    • Beth Ehlers thanked Beth Chamberlain by name from the mic saying she was THE BEST person to be in a triangle with.  Generally speaking I loved Judi's Beth but then also strongly liked BethC's Beth but I did not like the whole Lorelei stage!!! 
    • Yep, it seemed temporary, lasted 3-5 minutes, then BACK! Yea.  Thanks. 
    • Oh but those "Pharleys" were very adamant that they stay together and be featured everyday (though I did like their websites and the recaps they gave each day.) I agree, they were interesting at first, but the longer it went on the more Harley became this sad sack jealous wife, the more Phillip became a dumb Josh type character torn between two women and the more Beth became a pathetic looser chasing her ex.   I think after Beth came back it would have been an interesting triangle of three "good" people trying to find a way, and I did like the "Who killed Carl" and how Harley and Beth had to work together there, but we all know Phillip would have dumped Harley to get together with Beth, Harley would have been hurt but dusted herself off and moved on, and eventually Beth and Phillip would implode. They didn't bring back one Reardon or Bauer for Mo's funeral...did anyone think they would waste money and energy on poor sad Nadine?
    • I hate to be that person, but Monday’s episode was a mess. The editing was an eyesore—felt like multiple scenes got chopped mid-way through. Anita’s singing was completely over the top. And while TT can sing, something about her performance just felt off—her voice was actually kind of grating   Leslie’s motivations make zero sense, unless we’re supposed to believe she just thrives on chaos. Her smirking while her daughter got locked out? That was straight-up cartoon villain territory. Once again, the Duprees came off like a full-on mob—especially the girls, who acted more like petty mean girls than anything else. And don’t get me started on Kat and Eva. Their dialogue was repetitive and totally unrealistic. “We have opposite fairy tales”? Seriously? Give me a break.(not that literally though, I want my episodes daily!!)

    • Thanks. I'd forgotten about that. It is odd she wasn't asked back. Maybe they just gave up.  Harley/Philip is one of those relationships which lingered on longer than it should have. I never got the sense the show had any great interest in them together beyond the first six months or so, and there was little to no chemistry between them after that point.
    • If Leslie wanted to be super shady

    • I am just so happy with the new writing. Everything feels so much more mature. The connections between plots and characters reminds me of the eighties, and I just plain old LIKE everybody. I very much enjoyed Philip's apology tour with his two exes, and both of them being gracious to him. This version of Philip is so interesting, very flawed, but trying to do better, and I do believe he wanted the brother bond with Xander very much and is hoping to get that back. Speaking of brothers, we got Xander's first ever mention of his other brother, Bo. And how interesting that Titan is also working on a cure for sepsis. If the one with Dr Russell falls through we have a back up plan. And the seamless writing continued with Sarah trying to get out of a conference and Kayla needing to get Dr Russell out of town, I love when things just make sense like that. Shout out to Xander with cucumbers on his eyes lol And under the new regime I am not hating Stalex. I think this couple was just hammered by Ron by constantly making them sleep with other people. It was hard to root for them when the writer didn't care about them as a pairing, just about getting Rob naked. I am happy to see what happens here too. Stefan got a get well card to EJ? I wonder if it had a coded HELP ME in the message. Glad Kayla turned him down. She should never forget how he used Steve as a pawn back in the day. Characters are actually remembering this stuff these days.
    • That happens sometimes on cbs/paramount. Just refresh the page and it should work.
    • In a 1997 SOD article, Ehlers mentions that she was asked to return several times, but was surprised she wasn't asked to return for her "mother's" funeral.  This was when she returned for the 60th Anniversary event. They were a really popular pairing for a few years ago.  As an older viewer, it seemed strange seeing Beth as the odd one out, but 1998 Beth was a totally different character.  She was written as a manipulative, vixen.
