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.

    • 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.

    • 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.
    • Unhappy camper!

    • It seems obvious based on the initial material that Korte was going to take another foolish run at Jason and Carly a la 2021 and hoped Mulcahey being back would make it work, as he wrote such famous material for Steve, Sarah, etc. I think a couple good dialogue scenes came out of them together very early on, but there was never any denying that Steve and Laura have never had and will never have any romantic chemistry, plus the audience doesn't want it. So they pivoted to her with that useless dayplayer (Brennan) and now here they all are, spinning their wheels doing nothing of value on the show. I do think PM had planned to do much more with Jason's sons and that rivalry/friction, but once he was gone so was Jake. I've rarely seen any of the core mob 3 feel so totally extraneous and directionless on the canvas. Not that I mind. Anything that makes Jason easier to get rid of works for me.
    • I just edited the 1998 SOD Awards & Laura Wright won Best New Character for Cassie on GL. Also Philip & Harley won something of some name for them as a couple & when they finished saying their effusive thanks at the mic, Grant picked Beth up & literally threw her over his shoulder & walked backstage that way. I mean, it's great that Beth Ehlers is a good sport, right?
