I don't like Quinn at all. My problem isn't that Rena Sofer is a bad actress, I just don't think she's needed in most of the roles she's cast for. Pam and Donna are both more interesting choices if they want to give Eric a love interest. And then you have Felicia who fills the type they're trying to mold her into.

This. She is needed for balance and to help keep Brooke in check. Katie is weak and with Steph gone, no one really calls Brooke out like Taylor. Instead we now have her as this egomaniac pig who thinks she's unstoppable. I liked how Taylor served as a counterpart to Brooke and she also wasn't scared to get in Bill's face and check him as well

Well, Rena's face is still in tact, and that is the only difference between her and Hunter. The "acting" for both is laughable! I think Taylor had to go because in order to sell Brooke as this irresistible goddess, you have to either totally write Taylor out of character or get rid of her because she is Brooke's only opposition. Scuzzard Brooke has been winning over everyone in conversations in regards to Bill to where it is just about water under the bridge. Taylor would be the only character who really takes the audience there, so she had to go.

Wyatt read Liam's ass like he should have been read long ago, but if you really look at it, not one person has really let Brooke have it. Have they? That is intentional.

LMAO, weak ass bitch laugh.png

Man, Id want that but apparently the show doesn't want her. She revealed that she tried to reach out to them but that there was no communication back from there end. It was shameful how they got rid of her and the character but typical of B&B in recent years

I don't need her to return unless she is going to give Brooke the verbal beat down she deserves. But did they write the character out? I remember one of the other characters saying, after the reveal, that Taylor was in her office. We won't hear about her often, but I don't believe the character was written out. Someone, please correct me if I'm mistaken.

But they never really let Katie take us there and really read Brooke for the filth that she is. Katie ends up taking partial responsibility and talk about their relationship never being the same. No one has really gone there because the writers don't want them to.

Good thing I can get there all on my own then. I don't need a character on this show to tell me how vile and filthy Brill is. It would certainly be nice, since when Brooke starts talking about their relationship, I feel like I'm living in an alternate reality. Still no matter how many characters approve, I will always see them as trashy.

I didn't see it but apparently in a conversation with Brooke, Eric mentioned that Taylor walked out on him. They are broken up and she is still allegedly still living in LA, just offscreen

What more do you need? Katie called her a slut and called her out on jumping from guy to guy. Sure she's backed down but its not like she hasn't ripped into Brooke at all.

I think the show missed a big opportunity to make this a scandal. Seriously, how the heck can Bill be fired, go through a divorce with Katie (who's replaced him as CEO) and now living with her sister, and that not be a scandal? Why aren't the reports all over them and why isn't Brooke being trashed around LA for the slut that she is? That makes NO sens

    • As others (I think) have said, Long just didn't get Nola and Quint. I guess it would've been hard to write them into adventure type stories with two kids, but they just fell off the map after AJ's birth. (or even the wedding/honeymoon) Long would've had to rewrite something, because Alex forced the Chamberlains out of Spaulding in the fall of '84. Not that she couldn't have just ignored it and written Quint and Henry being involved at the firm. I swear there was some plot point she just literally ignored that surprised me, but as I'm floating around between years, I can't recall what it was. lol Has anyone found the first day of the Kyle/Lewis dinner party up in English? After he took over Lewis Oil, Kyle arranged a dinner party. All hell breaks loose--Mindy admits to shooting Kyle, Vanessa remembers Reva's accident, and Billy and Reva get into a screaming match and she tells HB that Billy blackmailed her out of her Lewis shares. The last three minutes (or so) of the episode are up, where Kyle tells the assembled that HB's his father. And the next episode picks up with Sally entering the fray. Y'all know I'm dying to hear Billy and Reva go at it. As dicey as '85 is, I love it anytime when Billy isn't Reva's bitch.  
    • The original premise of "Santa Barbara" was that a Lockridge (Warren) killed a Capwell (Channing), who loved an Andrade (Santana), while a Perkins (Joe) went to jail for the crime. I think once the show started to pull away the threads by eliminating Joe and naming a new killer a lot of the show's original potential was lost. I contend, like others, that the fault lied in the uninspiring casting, which leads me to wonder if that's why the show became so keen on casting soap veterans for nearly every pivotal role.  The failure of the Perkins family was definitely a casting issue followed by a lack of interest in committing to the original onscreen characterization. I was fascinated watching the early episodes and realizing that the Perkins had been financially wiped out by the trial, which was an underlying current towards John's animosity towards his son. Then, the additional complication of Marissa's nearly incestual affection for Joe that led to her cutting off John sexually was a wild moment to witness, but not as strong as it could have been with a stronger actor in the role of John Perkins. Melissa Brennan wasn't the right choice for the aspiring young vixen that Jade was intended to be. Brennan may have breathed life into Laken, but I'm not sure how Julia Ronnie would have done in the role of Jade.  Despite the recorded history, Christina Robertson and Sarah Gallagher weren't sisters; they were aunt and niece.  I don't think it would have hurt to make Marissa and Augusta sisters, but I think it would have made the Joe / Augusta seduction impossible unless you truly mimick "Rituals" and make Joe Sarah's stepson. I think a childhood friendship between the two women would have worked. It would have also given Augusta someone to confide in about the situation involving Peter Flint and herself as Marissa would have been aware of Peter from her work at the pre school. As childhood friends that were estranged by class differences, I think a relationship between Augusta and Joe (and later Augusta and a sexually frustrated John) would have had multiple layers to play out giving a deeper impact on Augusta's involvement in both of the men in Marissa's life. And because I have thought about this all too much, I would have Augusta and Marissa square off again when Jade, after marrying Ted while pregnant, learned that the little Capwell heir was in fact an imprisoned Warren's son only for Augusta to ultimately keep mum because with Ted married to Jade he wasn't free to pursue Laken.  I imagine the Andrades would have slowly been withdrawn from the Capwell inner circle as the truth about Santana, Channing, Jr., and the baby came to light for everyone. In what I seen in the 1980s, Rosa confronts C.C. once about the baby and then seems to move on. Early in the run, the actor playing Reuben claims he and Bridget Dobson had a falling out and implied that she was racist which led to the character fading into the woodwork.  I know I am like maybe one of two people who liked the 1990s run of the Dobsons, but I loved the set up for Santana / C.C. with the Andrades having owned the land that Oasis sat on years earlier posing Santana to come into money while also potentially landing a position where she could raise Gina's son with C.C. if C.C. and Santana could have secured custody of the child. With Eden gone, I would have gone back to Santana and Cruz, but if not, I think Brick should have returned to be Santana's conscience and potential love interest.     
    • Well, I'm not going to shoot you, so no worries there. If it's subpar i hate hearing that. It was an old DVD not even mine a former partner. I thought why not make use of it. Serves me right for thinking. But to be clear, white label, www.radiomemory.com 
    • Just compared the open on Friday's episode with the first week episodes. I think the difference is that the bass line is much more apparent -- stronger and harder.
    • Phew, that was close to disaster!

      I suspect we would have had a few withdrawals next year if Israel had won. I don't think many people would relish going to Jerusalem as things stand now. Not to mention it would have been a prime target for terrorist attacks.   
    • And they've given us plenty. Sets, outdoor scenes, music licensing, etc. And that was the point of me using DAYS... so. It's obvious the casino set is not intended for long-term use, hence why it's likely it wasn't as evolved as the other community sets, etc.

    • I just had thought of how to save the Perkins family. (Inspired by Rituals) -- What if Marisa Perkins was Augusta Lockridge's sister? Fictionally, they could've both been local girls, one married rich and one married poor. Originally, I was going to suggest that Marisa be Sophia's sister, but then I realized Joe and Kelly would've been first cousins.  Of course, it would've truly inspired Sophia was if Rosa Andrade sister, with Rosa and Santana moving in to help CC raise the kids once Sophia disappeared.  While this could've avoided both gross CC and Santana affairs, the times were not right for a story about intersectional inequity.
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJxW5DLJLId/ Another World is my forever favorite soap opera. But it's finale is almost universally hated by its fans. What this is, is an edit where I've deleted everything I didn't like!!!
