I love your ideas Cheap. I'm not sure Millie has what it takes to be a long term Brooke like character, but I do think the show could get a good couple of years out of this type of arc. They need to bring Thomas back though, so she has an additional target. Hell, they should bring Zende on, but they probably won't.

JY is definitely looking fine this week! I could watch him everyday. The best part of the storyline this week is that Liam and Wyatt aren't anywhere around. I love Quinn and Deacon but I'm glad the show has focused on some other characters for a few days.

Caroline is pulling off this writing as well as she can! Have always found the character to be a spoiled brat but Linsey can at least deliver.

Carter's acting has improved greatly since he was on GL! I no longer cringe every time I see Carter come on.

I hope Katie kicks Caroline's ass.

I wish Brooke would come back and be put in charge of Forrester! I find Ridge so annoying and have never been a fan of TK (which is probably why). I don't get why so many women are infatuated with Ridge....except maybe that he's filthy rich!

Am probably late to the party (ROFL to the many names of Myrna ah Maya...) but last Friday's show was just sooooo very good. And Monica ah Myrna ah Maya and her head tossing campy acting self was a major part for that.

I *never* saw that turn of events coming in just one episode. And Donna and Katie had some great dialogue and not just filler material. Wowza.

Mylicka makes me laugh...and yes, it is over-the-top camp but that's why I like it.

Glad that Ridge had the CEO position revoked!!! Not that I expect it to end up really going to Rick. If it does, I hope he doesn't turn into a Bill caricature where he's just a total ass to everyone now.

She definitely is not a great actress but she perfectly fits the campy B&B formula and is doing spectacular with it. Linsey Godfrey wo is now supposed to do some serious character acting heavy lifting is having way more trouble to get through her scenes these days. Personally, I'd say she is better than Karla Mosley (she was also fun last year as camp diva Caroline with the gay henchman LOL!) but also not a good actress and the material is way ahead of her skills.

I'm positively stunned that Marianna is 1) still a part of this show after nearly 2 years (say what!?) and 2) is actually an asset to it. Few black actors/actresses on this show if any were this fortunate till date.

This Big Brother party is the cheesiest [!@#$%^&*] ever and I'm loving every minute. Someone please make a gif of Lawrence doing that Michael Jackson finger snapping when Liam and Ivy won.

When Mazel tov said, "I'll make myself scarce", "PLEASE DO!" jumped out of my mouth. Stay thirsty Manitoba, "the head honcho and the lead model on his arm!" :rolleyes:

So I'm visiting my Mom and watched B&B live. It's so great that Brooke is off canvas to give people like JY screentime. What an underutilized asset - I hope they continue featuring him in large doses. Oh, my thirsty, thirsty MORTICIA! Wow, her desperation for status and wealth is amazing. I LOVE IT! It's so great to see a hungry character - even better to have that character as a minority. And, I know, she has her detractors, but I think the two of them make a great couple. OC, I love LG. I hope this is a long-running triangle.

Whoops, double post on iPad! So I'll add that I'm glad to see SC paired with someone else. The Hope saga really neutered him and he is an engaging actor. Even though I enjoy KKL, I hope this three-month vacation, encourages the show to feature more characters in the future in more than supporting roles. The show is stocked with plenty of actors who are capable of big storylines. I'll admit, I never imagined how B&B could reinvent itself after SF, but it has done an amazing job. And, even the loss of JM has been more than covered.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested. 
    • Garneau was in the Liberal party and his riding was in Montreal. He was the first Canadian in outer space.
    • I agree. I really have enjoyed this story from the beginning. I feel like it needed the time for us to care about Doug. They've done a nice job of explaining his motives and making me care for him. I still feel like he's doomed and Vanessa will end up being a widow and now I'm invested in that *not* happening now that I've fallen for him. Friday was good but so was the entire week. I think they're doing such a nice job of keeping things moving. We got good movement with Bill's story this week, Chelsea is attempting to date, Andre and Dani are having tough conversations about their relationship, of course Anita reunited with Sharon. There is *so* much going on and I didn't even cover all of it.  I wish all of the soaps would take a page out of BTG book and start rotating their stories. I love that everybody is getting a chance to shine and they don't just sit on one lead story to the point you get sick of it. 
    • Did Jordan Clarke have a departure sometime between 1985 and 1989? I know Robert Newman had three runs: 1981-1984, 1986-1991, 1993-end.
    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
