Today's show was just as bad -- all this supposed Xmas warmth without one ounce of emotion.

 

John McCook is playing Eric like a doddering old fool soon to be in the throes of Alzheimer's. It's gagworthy.

 

Everybody showing up at the end so Xmas would be magical? I felt nothing.

Maybe you should stop watching then, for a while? I tuned in and was a mess. Sorry you hate the show so much! It's quite a mess overall but yesterady's episode was well done. It would have had more heart if Eric hadn't been a complete ass to his kids for no reason and if Quinn hadn't had the history she does but that's the B&B way .... they change on a dime, practically every episode.

There has been so much bashlash about 'the line' all over. I hope they address this by having someone like RICK overhear that line - call Widge out and snap his mother out of it - complete with a montage of Stephanie slaps and insults! Or Steffy, who also has been brainwashed and would never support this, followed by all the times Stephanie said Taylor was perfect for Widge. 

 

Back to Quinn for being so evil because she tries to manage/manipulate/scheme WyNot's love life. Such a contrast to the regal Stephanie. She never got involved in her kids' relationships....

 

i don't get why Brad would ignore all this rich history that played out on screen for a revisionist version. If he wanted Brooke/Widge, fine but don't make up stuff. No need to - it's not inconceivable that Brooke could be sucked in by Widge again to be betrayed- it's the foundation for the ENTIRE history of the show!

this show is so damn repetitive. Are we really going to spend every holiday/family event with Eric alone in that house contemplaing if his family will spend time with him only to have them show up at the last minute? Didnt we just do that on Thanksgiving? Is that what we have to look forward to for the NYE episodes?

Exactly. The show is doing a big disservice to SC with this latest attempt to prop WyNot in order to make the triangle viable again. 

 

And this Widge trying to seduce Quinn is just awful. Yes, Brad believes this will create two extensions of deadend stories: 1) $B/Brooke/Widge and 2) open door for Keric (gross)/Quinn trying to win him back because I'm sure they will go with the pregger route - WTF Widge or Eric - a story that 'shakes the house of Forrester!'

I was going to mention it but decided not to because of how terrible it is. Ridge will sleep with Quinn and spill to Dad....Brooke breaks up with Ridge....$$$$ gets Brooke again....Eric is crushed and suffers another heart/breathing scare....Ridge is left alone with no guilt at all cause he got his company back....sounds just horrific.

 

 

Good thing I won't be watching the show anymore past this Thursday. I will stick to just Y&R and Days gays episodes.

    • Olivia did have a good reason for what she did. Still, I'd think she would be slower to pass such harsh judgment on Lois since she knows what she herself lived through. I'm hoping we get a softer Olivia when she reflects on everything.   I'm going to disagree with this. I don't think the character has been ruined and trashed, and I don't think it's impossible to come back from this. Yes, a great case can be made that this is out-of-character for Lois, but I can also make a case for people doing out-of-character things when life deals us crazy and impossible moments. Because of the story we're getting from this, I think it was worth putting Lois into this situation.

    • Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum but I have been a soap opera fan for only a few years. I started watching General Hospital in the 2010s on tv due to boredom. It wasn't good but it was okay enough to get curious about the soap opera genre. When I eventually got internet I started researching 90s and 2000s General Hospital. I have started only recently researching 80s and 90s Days of Our Lives. I was shocked when I found out that a black soap opera is going to be made, especially because the genre as a whole was on a downward trajectory. Now here I am as a black woman seeing a soap opera from the start. I'm all for Beyond the Gates succeeding.

    • That was so surprising to me today. I didn’t see any spoilers that this was coming up so I loved it!
    • Well, VI was leaving, and while Long admits that killing him was stupid...I do agree with letting him go with a big bang...body missing.  They spent a lot of time and money on Infinity, (which I think might have gotten a bit of a better reputation had it not been the harbinger of a total tonal change with the Bauers and Reardon's decimated and its all Reva and the Lewis and the weird people hanging out around Kyle) so they needed it to end dramatically. They could have done so much more with having Alex go after Kyle and Billy, but that ends and she starts moping over weird and boring Simon. With Kurt..what were you going to do.. cute but boring and perfect and with ties to no one (they had a nice little thing where Bea took him under her wing when everyone left but then she did too..) If they had the balls they would have had Rick and Mindy jump in the sack ( I know, Mindy should have learned birth control by then) I would have had it be Mindy who knows about Rick's drug use and she tries to help him...(not that nobody who came and went) of course, Kurt and Roxie misunderstand..that on top of her bad Sampson Girl thing leaves him to leave her temporarily, and in grand soap tradition, Rick and Mindy console each other (again, I would write it that they always really did, and Mindy rushed into things with Kurt) and she gets knocked up, and loving Rick but also Kurt she chooses to believe it is Kurts (which I could see Princess Mindy doing "My life is perfect and I will it that way, this is Kurts kid")But, she had the dumb model thing, then she burned down the house he was building, she tried to get prefers and he dies (but also Kobe was the one who built him up, then she was gone when he was let go.) Ross believe it or not is one of the last of the "old guard" characters, beside Ed (who is now FauxEd) and Maureen, and Henry and Van (who is ties to being the Lewis family mope.) JVD has made jokes that they didn't write him out as they simply forgot that he was there! Reva doesn't even call her mother when she comes back! I never saw the use of Sarah but they could have reunited them and sent her and Hawk out of town together. Hell, I don't like the Shaynes but she should have mentioned Roxie and Rusty.  The weird thing is that Dylan had a ton of story and was very important to the Van/Bridget baby custody story. By the time Reva comes back Dylan had only been gone a year so its not like people wouldn't know him..( I liked him and Bridget together...) So he comes back in 97 and acts like it's no big deal Reva is alive so they must have talked off camera. But Reva was too busy squacking about that annoying toothy Marah and blank Shayne to talk about anything else.  It's not quite as weird as Van, who obsessed over Peter, comes back to SF and never mentions him...i.e. "I saw Peter this weekend and he so barely remembers me but he is happy with Bridget and Dylan...") 
    • Excellent! The OLTL-GH promo places this and the RH episode (which I assume aired directly before this AMC) as airing during the week of Aug. 20.
    • Thanks! There's never enough early 1980s AMC around.    The only actor I don't recognize is the actress playing Wanda, Mike's agent.
