Mortgage gotta get paid and lenders don't care if the check comes via Brante or Mackles! And it would appear that V has lost all of her veto power. However, I'm gonna wait and see. While I won't be laughing at Brenda because this is a crock, I'll will be dying in that when V has to play ball its in such a heinous way. I've always hated the way she dictated stories!

For my friends here who are Brenda lovers, I hope for your sake this is false because this is not good soap. This is "throwing a character under a bus for a pet" soap.

Hopefully with this makeover Sabrina will at least look more age compatible to Patrick.

Her hair has looked better lately. I'll give 'em that.

Man, Brenda looks to be totally trashed with this spoiler. I'm not even her biggest fan. I'll wait and see for sure but just ... I guess it's Ron's "soapy goodness" at it's finest.



And said character appears very sporadically (I know, he's techincally guesting) but then today bugged me because they don't use him much, yet call him to film one episode where he spends the entire episode explaining to Lucy about how he won't be in town (I.E. won't be used for the next month). It just all felt so LOL to me when I really thought about it. I'm glad they at least addressed his upcoming 'we're not using you right now' disappearance.

I became an even bigger Finola fan after seeing her on the show. She just has a great personality. I thought this whole bit was cute:

 

How come the cake that Katie had for them looked better than the one they had on set?

Well, I was giving RC my unwarranted shadow of a doubt but... just like my darling Andrea says, mortgages (and face jobs) gotta get paid. Oh, well. If it happens, I'll "cackle" to myself... I dislike, with ferocious strength, almost everyone that would be involved and/or affected by this rumor.

Well, true.

I had a rant ready and forgot about the

. LOL.

EDIT:

LOVED Finola on 'Katie'. Such a great personality. It's also nice to see Kelly with a lot more life in her lately, honestly. She seems to look very happy and healthy and looks GREAT.

Just watched this week's 4 GH episodes back to back, and all I have to say is, wow! This soap in on top of its game. There were so many moments that pulled at my hear strings (Rachel Ames, Elizabeth and Nikolas, the Quartermaine "Reunion).

But I am also so happy that they are giving the returning vets substantive scenes. I loved the Jax/Brenda fight today. It felt like 1996 all over again. I love how excited everyone is to see Bobbie: her daughter, Maxie, her best friends. I love that Lucy, Kevin, and Mac get so much time to be old friends again. I am so impressed that these guys who during the Guza/Phelps days would havebene glorified extras with throw away lines are actually in the action.

Only down-side really has been Luke and Laura. The acting in their scenes has been so stiff. There is no feeling of great romance. It has been so contrived. I don't know if it is the storyline, the writing, or the acting, but this has not been the Luke and Laura reunion I thought it was going to be.

    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
