Thursday, Friday and today's episode were great!  Didn't FF anything…..I am glad the show picked up again after the boring Mon thru Wed episodes of last week with Thomas vs Ridge….that was so boring to watch.

Thats because there is no story to tell. Steffy hit Aly in self defense. Everyone minus Thorne would have understood that Steffy had no choice but to defend herself. 

 

I think Steffy mentioned she should have left…but how? Run? with Aly behind her with that rock or the crow bar…..

 

I would have rather seen Aly get caught trying to off Steffy and us see Aly get help on screen with the family by her side. Later Aly would have conquered her demons left LA for a new start somewhere else without Throne. Throne would stay in LA for good…etc..etc...

With as much filler as Jackie Mac's face!  I was watching on my Ipad so it was difficult to FF those sh!t!!!!!.

However, BB delivered some great soap yesterday.  I wish they had let KM and Obba go toe to toe a bit more.  KM showed she has the chops, but then the scenes reduced her to a weeping little girl again.  That was disappointing.  I would rather the two keep at it instead of learning of Grampa Avant.  But still, great stuff, and kudos to BB for not only having black characters but using them in front burner stories as leads!  Reign Edwards is really doing a fabulous job!  

Anna Maria Horsford needs a contract or become a heavy recurring player.  There's no reason why The Avants should only be a sister team.  

One thing I did notice is that BB really needs an older female character on contract.  There's a void and it was glaring yesterday.

Actually, I thought the Steffy/Thomas scenes were just the right touch of balance.  Unlike say, Ryan and Greenlee contrasting with Phoebe's memorial service.

I really enjoyed yesterday's episode, B&B in general, my only issue being the weird way in which they're handling this Aly business.  I am loving AMH and Obba.  I know that this is a temp gig, but what a shame because they make for a dynamite matriarch and patriarch and I'd love to see more stories unfold under their umbrella.  That part about the elder Myron writing him a severance check and disowning him, wow,  Nice touch, the psychological/emotional ramifications for a man who adored his father really helped to reinforce the way in which he's handled Maya.  I have to admit, when Vivienne had that line about Julius acting like he was casting out demons, I thought, "Okay, a black person wrote that." :lol:  Is MVJ still at B&B?

I just hate how Julius is NOT allowed to feel the way he does without being the bad guy. He's allowed to feel how he feels. It's a realistic reaction. I hate how everyone kisses Maya's ass. I sincerely doubt everyone in that room would be as accepting as they want us to believe.

Today and yesterday: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Not a bash on JMW at all but NuThomas looks 10 years younger than Ivy and Steffy yet he's supposed to be older? LOL

I wasn't sure who was older until Thomas mentioned it today and I was like um Thomas looks younger than Steffy…LOL

Yes, that helped explain why Julius felt the way he did. At that point Maya should have been more sympathetic with Julius. Instead Maya was gleeing with joy over marrying someone who just recently was going over the edge even though he had the supposed true love of his life beside him. The pimping for Maya truly got of hand and to me didnt/doesnt represent the real world.

    • Weirdly I feel like Nina was the most sus about the entire situation.  Normally I would have given this one to Carly, but Nina was always kind of trying to make it make sense. I think Nina (and Alexis) are actually really smart characters.  They just constantly get in their own way with dumb plans lol.
    • Rewatching some of 1991 I had to appreciate what a strong week March 5-12 1991 was. Cassandra dies, Nina shoots David, Sheila switces the babies, and drunk Nikki all occurring simultaneously. 1991 and 92 were pretty strong overall.
    • Still loving all the Gio fallout, but the scenes that really surprised me this episode were the ones with Nina and Maxie. I was not expecting Nina to be the one to put together all the pieces about Sasha's baby daddy. This custody hearing is about to get explosive!
    • I really hope after the secret comes out their interactions don't stop
    • BAHAHA  I needed that laugh today. Talk about one note.  I would put Derek and Ashley a notch above Dani. Dani's scenes are basically rinse, lather, and repeat for 60 episodes and counting.  It's as if she was transported from the soap opera Passions onto this soap.  MVJ should put aside her friendship/admiration for Karla and look at the fact that this character isn't wroking as written.
    • Agreed.  It doesn't feel in character at all.
    • You could always tell whenever Douglas Marland enjoyed writing for a particular actor, because he'd pull out all the stops for them; and Julianne Moore was no exception.
    • I'm sorry, but I just can't get past the fact that it was Lois, of all people, who deceived so many people.  No matter how hard Rena Sofer tries to justify Lois' actions - and boy, does she work hard! - it just isn't something Lois would've done.
    • Honestly, Olivia had kind of a good reason to keep her son safe from a mobster for two decades.  Sonny literally shot Dante in the chest lol and had multiple family members die, get injured, threatened, kidnapped, etc, etc.   I know you don't watch the show very often, but it's not like Olivia should have shown up and given Sonny and his 18-year-old girlfriend Brenda shared custody of a kid.  That would have been a horrible, life threatening idea.
    • Those fools will follow him over the cliff, because they look at him as their last gasp at relevance.
