I hope so! Aly and Oliver are due a storyline, and I don't really know what else Nicole is going to do on the show.

But Oliver was too old for Hope, and Hope was older than Aly and Aly is older than Nicole (right?), so I don't know if this is where they'll go..

LOL at Ivy and Aly wondering where Rick and Maya are and deciding to eat the food that was being prepared for them.

I liked Maya wondering if they were going to last.

Caroline & Ridge have great sexual chemistry. I did not expect them to decide to be together so fast, but that's B&B for you. At least they didn't have sex and it was great that they mentioned and talked about Caroline #1.

WTF was that with the gun!?!?!!! Did not expect to see that at all. Is that the direction the story will take? Wow.

(And super wow at Stephanie just having a gun by her bed. Jesus, they just won't stop with her, will they?).

Sadly, I feel this is in keeping with Gangsta Stephanie, that post-2004/2005 version of her that kept getting worse and worse (to the point where Flannery had to go). Which is why it will sadden me if they continue with that even after her freaking death. And considering, like you mentioned, that other people have lived there and that it's been over two years since Stephanie's death, would that still be there if it were hers? I'm hoping it's indeed Eric's and he had it there for protection.

That would be interesting, too -- especially considering the situation it would put Brooke in and, again, the fact that no one would believe Rick didn't do it (unless he actually does do it lol). And, yeah, there is no doubt this will be happening FAST.

I don't see the problem with the gun being Stephanie's. So many people own a gun in the US, so what difference does it make if it's Eric's?

What I find really annoying is the retcon of how Stephanie treated Rick. Sorry, but she was a second mother to Rick and Bridget - one without the sex scandals. She was only mean to Kyle Lowder's Rick but that was exclusively because he was a d****bag.

The problem is that if its Stephanie's why is it still in there well over a year after her death? Again, if it was Steph's that likely would have been removed when Taylor moved into there

Yeah I mentioned the rewrite of Steph's relationship wtih Rick. She didnt mistreat him when he was younger as she loved him bc he was Eric's.

It's really not that huge a deal, except for

1) Terribly convenient (I can live with that)

2) Stephanie died over two years ago and it's still there?

3) If it's Stephanie's, I resent the characterization

4) Taylor never saw it? You can bet she kept her dildo in that nightstand.

Is it really a retcon, if Rick FEELS like Stephanie treated him this way. I'm not so sure especially when you throw in the Ridge angle and the way Stephanie treated Brooke over the years. People pick and choose certain life events/moments when they look back and now Rick is only finding bad ones with Stephanie/Ridge. Now, if other long-term charcaters start talking about Stephanie's poor treatment of Rick, that would be different. But this is just Rick venting his anger.

Yeah, she died 2 years ago and Taylor might have seen it but that's a gun. You don't throw that in the basket. It could, you know, come in handy.

I can see why you would resent the characterization, but let's not forget that she presented Brooke with a gun as a gift once. Brooke was supposed to shoot Stephanie with it. It's just part of the late 2000s Bully Stephanie we've gotten used to.

@edgeofnick, I totally get what you're saying and I agree. What gets to me is when people like Othello (who didn't even know Stephanie), start talking about the whole situation without even hinting at the chance Rick might be twisting things.

the speculation here has been that Caroline, Ridge, Brooke or Maya could get shot but I hope thats not the case and that its Aly that ends up a victim. She and Oliver desperately need a storyline. It would be an unexpected twist and it could bring Thorne back into the fray and have him ally with Ridge against their out of control younger brother. Rick cant pull that you arent Eric's real son crap with Thorne and having them feud would be something different

      Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.

      She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.

      Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).

      That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.

      As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.

      I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.

      I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
