I was kind of annoyed when Mariah pushed Hillary today. Who does that to their boss no less? I think it bothered me all the more because these two aren't "close" enough for that kind of physical fight. They don't have the kind of rivalry that supports getting physical.

In fairness, Hillary's been, at best, manipulative, and at worst, rude and abusive as a boss. I wouldn't have tolerated that crap from my boss for half as long as she had. But the push bothered me more because Mariah just seemed so frantic. It would have been a stronger choice to have her really stare Hillary down with an intense, simmering rage. That would have been more interesting to watch, and made Mariah look less weak.

Mariah has put up with a lot of bullying from Hillary BUT ITA a stare down would've been a better especially from CG. Catfights are so 80s and demeaning towards women. I'll chalk it up to Pratastrophe. Let's see how they interact under new regime because based on THE interview, it seems GC Buzz is here for awhile. The whole thing made Devon look stupid and powerless - he could've shut it down. 

 

This whole interview was a terrible plot device to make Nick angry again. At least the writers had sense enough to have Chelsea, who can smell a con, spot it as fake. 

 

The one surprisingly good thing has been Dylan standing by Sharon. It's kind of nice for Sharon to have not one but three people standing on her side. (Mariah and Chloe).

Hilary edited an interview to make Mariah's MOTHER's position, a mentally ill woman, even worse than ever before. At that moment, and with Mariah's shady past, it was a totally justified move.

 

 

You can say that again! I'm actually appreciating Dylan for this!

Mariah should have been fired. Full stop. 

 

Mariah can easily quit. You dont attack  your boss. I have no sympathy for her.

 

I can't imagine anyone attacking anyone else they work for on the show and keeping their job. 

 

So that kinda works both ways. Since Mariah attacked hilary at work, shouldn't Devon fire her for hurting his immediate family, Hilary? or should it just be allowed?

Did any CDNS watch Sally's first episode today? I quite liked it. A lot of mentioning of John throughout the whole show. I noticed the scenes seemed so much more emotional than what you'd usually expect from Pratt. Can't wait for tomorrow's episode.

Abby: Horrid

 

Lily: Horrid

 

Together in scenes? Unbearable.

 

Victor & Nick jumping to conclusions: Horrid. But I liked that Nick was nervous about being a single father.

 

I like Travis.

 

Also, is this reality TV? The fυck? Why even do a close-up if you have to blur the image? LMAO!

    • This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.
    • YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.  
    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.

    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
    • I've already stated that I don't like Doug being written as this meek and submissive. It was so lame watching him leave her like that. Vanessa can divorce him, but she then needs to get her thot ass into therapy. She's not only having sex with every guy she runs into, but is now having  sex with a skeevy perv on a poker table. I'm going to give the BTG some credit here. For months, many on this board were delighting in the Vanessa/Joey flirting and what they saw as chemistry. I think we're now seeing what the writers always intended -- that Joey is a disgusting POS wannabe mobster.
