I agree.  It's the context of when Hilary gives the side eye or the smirk.  I don't think anyone here is arguing for the sweet-as-sugar Hilary we saw after her coma.  

 

Again I say, she needs a buddy.  Preferably (for me) another woman in her age range.

 

 

Yup!  I thought it was a good show too.  I have nothing to add about Jabot/B&S, those were good scenes, and I completely buy Jack ripping up the lease.  It doesn't need any further explanation as far as I'm concerned.  I'm not sure why some feel it's a weak premise.

 

GT looked fabulous and

 on toning down the drag.  But you're right, there were more times than not when she came across very masculine.

 

@ryanc thanks for the previews :-). I'm not strong enough not to sneak a peek lol

 

 

The reason why him being her "go-to" needs time.  When Hilary was shunned after the Neil Killed My Momma fallout, I liked Jack stepping in and giving her a chance. His mentoring her had potential.  But Chuckie fucked it up.

It feels so good to be excited about this show again. It's all mostly working for me. Weirdly I thought it could never be fixed after the hatchet job Pratt put it through, but nope, it's pretty much fixed. And oh so damn entertaining. Today's show was rocking.

Yes, I've wanted a female friend for Hilary to confide in for a full 3 years now. Since she's Chelsea's Neighbor, I'll take her. 

 

Shelly and Jean fucked it up first by having Hilary kiss Jack randomly in 2014. Chuck was just using history. But, you're right, Jack doesn't need to be her confidante. Especially when she's using him to make Devon jealous. Which was a beat played in their scenes a few times.

 

One thing though, I do love the disdain/incredulity Bryton puts in his voice when Devon says Jack's name. Very subtle but extremely effective acting. If they're going to play that beat then they need to go all out. I hope Devon pays Jack back by interfering in his plans for Fenmore's.

Me too. I wanted to say how annoying she can be like most soap kids are but I know the little actress IS talented and has done some other things (Dolly Parton's two movies) but lawd, kids really do need to be seen and not heard on soaps. I think writers, or someone, thinks it's adorable to see the kids act and talk like adults but it's really not. I had the same issues with GH and their insane focus on the kids for that brief period of time. They had long scenes and episodes. It was way too much.

Once the younger set is revamped, I think it'll definitely be much closer to being completely fixed!

TBH I liked the other actress too. I loved her sass towards Avery in 2013 when she was leaving and Faith goes "GOODBYE Avery..."

This actress is definitely talented but I agree with the comments about her being a little annoying. She just always comes across as spoiled and bratty. Her problems feel so insignificant even thought her parents are clearly fcked up. It's just hard to buy into it. CG was so much better when she was a young actress. 

I'm ready for the show to SORAS Faith to a teen. They should recast Summer first though..

    • Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.
    • Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.    
    • I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

    • I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.
    • omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

    • There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.
    • Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
    • OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.
    • I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
    • Is nobody going to mention the cringefest that is 'Carl Ivati'?
