That's very classy and sweet at the same time! :) 

A more current writer from the shows last few years of regimes would have probably choose that name because they are a fan of "Twilight", but I'm glad there's a more symbolic and thoughtful meaning.

She might have said Bella at some point but I just remember Chloe whining about her Hazelnut as well. Hendrickson is alright this go around however Chloe is already sabotaged in a corner again at the moment. It's hard to even get involved with a story that is pretty stupid. 

 

Faith's story about Sheila was funny but it's a reminder of how stupid the Sharon story is. She already had the same hilarious awkward hypocrite moment two months ago before Adam and Chelsea. Abby and Stitch together continue to make no sense. As does Luca and Summer whenever Luca brought up his daughter with Marisa. The Luca/Marisa story was such a wasted opportunity it's sad. 

 

By the way, it has been confirmed that

Makes me wonder if Pratt is going to try and give us some resolutions finally to end these stupid stories or just leaves us dangling until a recast is in place or he comes back. It's what you get from trying to stretch out utterly ridiculous stories.

Go back to the July thread and see my prediction of how this story will end lol. At the very least we'll probably see Billy and Jill learn the truth and swipe Bella away from Chloe who's gets trapped into staying mum for Victor's sake. Couldn't happen to a nicer sociopath.

MM and JW were the only saving graces in today's show. CG showing Mariah's vulnerability with Faith was a nice moment in a very bizarre side story. The way the episode and week ended gave me zero reason to care 'what happens next.' Based on SC interviews last month, I thought the Sully thing was ready to happen. I wonder if that's been put on hold now.

I see that someone in charge heand the viewers call for stronger women. The board meeting was the result with it being dominated and run by the 4 women with the 4 men just pretty window dressing.

 

I see what they are trying to do with Hilary by her saying if she were a man that her traits would be applauded BUT it's just so poorly executed by Pratt. He just cant resist making her wrong no matter what. Her position of not paying victims was perfectly reasonable. But EVERYONE, even prominent businessmen like Jack and Neil, were opposed. Jack, who has experienced something similar with the face cream and fought it himself, couldn't muster an opposing view from the mob. 

 

Here was also an opportunity for Hilary to lose out and be humbled for a small bit of redemption, but Pratt couldn't even provide the character with that. I love that character but even I see that Hilary got an unearned and undeserved second chance. She's a younger, prettier, female version of Victor Newman at this point and going over about like he does with the audience. 

 

I see they are possibly going back to Victoria/Billy and Phyllis/Jack. I assume it's for the affair reveal to have a larger impact. Can we expect that to happen soon.

Yes, but ultimately women will always be victims on soaps. Good grief, Phyllis was a crying on her bed like a teen after Jill's bizarre and illogical threat - break it off or I'll tell Jack - even though Phyllis planned on telling Jack the next day. And seeing Phyllis revert to StePhyllis after a year of getting the character back on track is sad  

Abby is treated like dirt by a cold psychologically abusing husband and she wonders what she's doing wrong! That relationship is very disturbing and I don't why anyone would root for it

Nikki back to Victor - no surprise - but disappointing  

We're overdue for a Prattastrophe to shake things up again

Are we still talking about missing diary pages?  None of that story makes any sense to me....Victor sets Adam up and then wants some diary pages to get him free?  What was the point of all of this...put him in jail so you can try and get him out?  They need to move on from this story - it's a mess.

yes. Victor rredemption story. Victor fighting for Adam was always a hit with fans. 

 

But beyond that, every story is a mess. The entire show is in shambles. 

Someone somewhere sees Kevin as a stud young women want. He's got THREE love interest. Count them, THREE! TPTB are clueless!

    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. While others may be able to add numerous offenses, the egocentrism to force any conversation off-topic to focus on you is the most egregious act for me.  This is light entertainment, an interactive discussion, not the shallotpeel-hour.
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
