Did anyone else think it was ridiculous of Brooke to say that if Stephanie was around, she'd have been able to stop her from being with Bill. Huh? Was Steph able to stop her from going after Ridge when he was married to Taylor? Thorne when he was married to Macy? Eric when he was married to Steph? Deacon when he was married to Bridget? When was Steph able successful from stopping her hoedom dead in its tracks?

You are spot-on, of course it would not have stopped Brooke. But I find it plausible for Brooke to delude herself, part of her character's fabric is that she wants to do right.... And a nod to Queen Stephanie is always a plus in my book.

Hope and Wyatt has been on every day for a couple of weeks it seems. Rena Sofer is very pretty; I dislike Quinn but I like her portrayal. I'm sooo glad she didn't get lured back to GH.. I guess I'm the only one who likes Ridge away from Brooke. I don't expect much from this Katie thing but I still think Thorsten doesn't have chemistry with Kelly' Brooke.

I guess its time for musical chairs...

Enjoyed Thorn's talk with Aly,...still not sure what her problem is "anger management?"

Is Maya still with the show?

No. I do too. I think TK and KKL could have chemistry, but I like them apart for now at least.

Geez, are Ridge and Katie still getting it on? She is definitely Brooke's sister!

IKR? Bipolar Brad must believe in this pairing enormously. Usually, by now, the female has destroyed the pairing by accidentally sleeping with someone else. (Brad's meds have kicked in, apparently.)

Aly cracks me up, pure camp. Did you see her rolling that paper in her hands? I lol'd when she snapped, "No!", and Wyatt's, "Ohhkayy..."

Since, eventually, this Aly stuff will lead to her being carted off in a straight jacket as opposed to her killing Wyatt, there really is no need to continue with it because, now, it just looks stupid.

Why is Aly allowed in meetings? She's clearly obsessed with Hope and cannot be objective on anything. Aly is disruptive and embarrasses herself and FC at every turn. I don't find this interesting any longer.

Maya said the first interesting thing yesterday since she came onto this show - let Hope answer for herself.

Hope does not have ideas. Anything in that empty little head of hers, Wyatt put there.

And as much as I want this creature Wyatt dead, I'm with him. Aly needs to be removed from that meeting. It's beyond ridiculous!

So what's the deal with Pam sorta championing Wyatt to Liam? It was interesting to hear her tie her own delayed "awakening" to that of Hope's and that Wyatt, not Liam, was the man who is helping Hope find herself. I really anticipated Wyatt bashing, but it turned out differently. I actually liked the conversation because AM really was able to convey Pam's "missed" opportunities in life quite well.

And a related note, I do love the chemistry between AP and DB - they play so well off each other. I'm wonder how they keep from cracking up. Honestly, props to KM for keeping a straight face because she always seems to be between the two of them.

Speaking of which why was Maya there? Isnt she just a model? Unless something has changed since I watched, she's just a model. Since when were models allowed to attend meetings and chime in?

Add me to list of who is loving Aly. I think she's the best thing about the show right now. And Ashlyn Pearce looks great with straight hair.

I absolutely love Aly and AP but I don't really like the way she's being directed.

Like the whole scratching-my-head-'cause-I'm-crazy thing from last episode, her smelling Quinn, her 'witches exist, you know' line... It's just uber camp! I like me some camp but this should be toned down IMHO.

She might be over the top in many ways, but she sure brings some fresh air to B&B. It's nice to have new actors in the driver's seat on this soap.

Perhaps, but there is always the danger of going TOO over-the-top with that kind of character. Right now, she might be a hoot; but down the road, viewers might reach their saturation point, and then what? If Brad Bell redeems her, even marginally, people will complain that Aly isn't what she used to be and that she's no fun anymore. And if he kills her off...well, then, we've lost another great character, haven't we?

Hey, they can always institutionalize her! (Just kidding)

Very true, but unlike past psychos, B&B has done an excellent job of finding a way to keep Quinn's edge, but not having her do irredeemable things (yet). Of course, a big part of that is due to RS. So AP's skills will be challenged to keep that balance or she just become a one-dimensional shrew (and yes, even a teen can earn that moniker).
