This is one of my main issues with the triangle -- that there is no B or C story allowing us a little breather from HopeLiamSteffy all the time. If it's not them on the show, then it is everybody else talking about them. I appreciate that Brad Bell has tried to shake that up recently with Brooke/Bill/Katie and the Rick/Thomas Fashion Face-Off of Incredibly Ugly Clothes. But I can't help but feel HLS drove Ronn Moss and Susan Flannery off the show and that makes me sad. Variety is the spice of life!

I do appreciate the Steffy-is-preggers twist. I feel really bad for her while Hope and Liam are giggling about packing up her things and shipping them to Steffy's old apartment. Wanting Liam back is one thing, but I thought the Steffy/Hope frenemyship was more than tearing down the other woman. Steffy/Hope interactions are one of my favorite things on B&B, actually.

Brooke needs to stop stroking Bill's face. Not only is she sending Stallion mixed signals, but everytime she does that, somebody walks in and Brooke gets all guilty-looking and skittish. LOL at Hope staring down Bill afterwards, though.

Ugh! Today the writers had Taylor say that she goes by her maiden name Hayes. That is purely inaccurate bc her father was Jack Hamilton and that is her maiden name. Hayes is the last name of her first husband, Blake Hayes. How could they get this wrong?

This is how she wears it in real life.

No one said there is anyhting wrong with natural hair but on this show, her hair looks stringy and greasy. It also looks like it hasnt been combed or washed in days. Girls that wear their hair natural need to take care of it and maintain it as well and her hair looks alot better in the pic I posted than on the show. Its a mess

I like natural hair, but it just looks ragged because of her washed out make-up and the constrast with her whack cardigan. Like, if she really a character that's rocking a natural do, I'm sure she'd be dressed funkier, sporting more personality. But the hair, paleness and the outfit are screaming "hard time convict."

I agree about wanting Dayzee in a superficial storyline. The last time I was watching B&B regularly I had to sit through their damn texting while driving story. Now this?

    • This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.
    • YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.  
    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.

    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
