The Zende plot device was too sudden. And he really repeated twice in two scenes that he's a Dominguez just in case we didn't get it first time. They way he spit it out implied his cousins were racists. As I recall, he goes by Zende Forrester, which I only realized when I heard about the wedding - Nicole Forrester. 

 

I hate for CH to be saddled with such a poor actor as her co-designer. Thomas would work better there but whatever.

Well y'all know this is Brad Bell! He is to the total opposite of his father, who moved at a snail's pace and played every logical beat in the story. 

 

Brad moves at lightening speed through so many good stories, so he can go back to doing the usual--smut stories about Brooke bedding someone, OR Steffy choosing which Spencer she wants to pork.

The fact that his father trained him and he doesn't possess any of his talent at all boggles my mind.

at least he works in the fashion industry. This is no worse than Bridget who was a doctor waking up and revealing she had always wanted to be a designer out of nowhere

 

He goes by Dominguez. There was a writing goof in the wedding episode but he's been referred to as Dominguez outside of that on the show

Zende wanting to be a designer was sudden but these stories have to start from somewhere, and I think they did a good job explaining it.  Zende has obviously been sitting on this for a while but decided to pursue it because the family needs the help right now.  That's good enough for me.  Now, where do we take it?  This is Bell's biggest problem.  

 

Implying his cousins are against the idea because he's black would not have been so bad, yeah?  When Stuffy first looked at the designs, she seemed impressed because she said "who did these".  Once they learned it was Zende, they're not quite good enough?  Stuffy should be made to answer for that from Eric!  I truly hope this leads to Zende going to Spectra because that completely new cast on the other side of town is not cutting it and we know Spectra is not dead.  

 

As for CH being saddled with poor acting Rome.  If she can be opposite PF and not walk off the set, she can do anything with anyone else.  PF is the absolute worst and when I see him compared to TK, I laugh to keep from crying.  PF should have NEVER been hired.  He's the worst!

You're right about PF - it just shows how strong CH really is that she can make those scenes work. Same with RE and Rome. Terrible. 

 

I do like they are moving Zende into more than a photog. I would've appreciated it more if Nicole knew what he was doing - it could've been their secret. I will say that those were Rome's best scenes. At least there was so fire there. And the icy response by Steffy/Thomas was so like Stephanie/Taylor v Brooke/Eric who would've been more sensitive and encouraging. I wish Kristen or another sibling was on canvas to hip check Widge.

I only listened to the Zende portion of the show yesterday because the rest was just rehash from what I heard, so when the show went off, I rewound it and just listened to the parts with Nicole/Maya and Zende and Zende/Thomas/Steffy. 

 

I really wish there was someone else there to tell Zende - no it's probably not because you're a Dominguez or whatever, all of the Forresters are backbiting climbers that don't want anyone in their way of possibly being CEO of Forrester.  They all do it.  Even Maya already revealed her own opinion to Nicole....of course she would say "hope he doesn't get his hopes up".  Because she and Rick are the same - they're backbiting snakes.  So are the rest of them...none of them want anyone that has possible talent to be in the way of their ascent to the throne.

 

But Rome is an awful actor.

Even though I'm not a fan of Rome, I do love RE, so I am relieved they weren't dropped after the insta-wedding, which seemed like the plan in the wake of insta-Spectra clan. Moving Zende to Spectra, but keeping Nicole at FC would be a good move. And, of course, we all know what will happen as Zende/Sally2 start collaborating.... unless WyNot gets there first (unless Liam beats him to it). No way the Spencer bros are left out of this.

      Well, no new episode tomorrow, but you should do a catch up. It's worth it!

      *Gavrilo Princip has entered the chat* I haven't watched BTG in approximately two months because of the busy season at work, but now it's summer, and I'll have time to get back into it. Do y'all think that I should do the 21st century binge-watching thing and attempt to catch up on everything I missed or should I do the traditional soap thing and just start watching again tomorrow and figure everything out from there?

      A few days late but this made me holler so bad and immediately took.me back 29 years when I first saw this. I still remember thinking Rick and Phillip were going hold each other and dance together LOL. Rick being there at least makes some sense as he was A-M’s second cousin and the show still at least recognized he was half Bauer, at least until Hearst left.  The whole Universal Studios wedding was over the top. I think someone wanted A-M and Lucy to be the next GL super couple but once Hearst left the A-M recast flopped and both were gone by early ‘97 with Lucy never appearing ever again.    Love the rest of your post, summer 1996 was the first time GL left me feeing…greatly underwhelmed until it inspired righteous indignation on my behalf once we get to the Gilly twist.

      You're right. I think she was seen as too subtle or reserved.  As @soapfan770I liked Sheila on LA Law but she wasn't needed here, especially as Charley as a character only made sense with a more reserved and less conventionally attractive actress.

      That's certainly one way to put it!  What blather. Kind of tells you they knew it was going to fail. I guess they were just throwing anything at the schedule and hoping they would be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the article.

      I would guess it's down to Kate Oates. Bowden is very much her type of leading man. She repeated all the stories she did on Emmerdale with his Ben.  I also think EE has become conservative enough that only a white, straight-acting gay man is going to get story.

      Desert Sun, 13 April 1985 ABC’s 'Dark Mansions’ Loretta Young quits movie LOS ANGELES (AP) - Loretta Young, citing “creative differences,” has withdrawn from her role as the family matriarch in “Dark Mansions,” an ABC movie and projected series, a spokesman for the actress said. The Academy Award-winning actress had been due to come out of retirement to begin work on the two-hour movie on April 22. The movie goes into production on Monday. “Loretta Young will not be rendering services because of creative differences over the story,” her agent, Norman Brokaw of the William Morris Agency said in a statement. “The parting between Miss Young and Aaron Spelling was amiable despite the story differences,” the statement said. Miss Young had been scheduled to play the role of Margaret Drake, the matriarch of a Seattle shipping family in “Dark Mansions,” a contemporary Gothic drama. There was no immediate word from either Aaron Spelling Productions or ABC who would replace Miss Young in the role. “It’s true that we had creative differences over the way her character was developing,” Spelling said in a statement released by a spokesman, David Horowitz. “She's a great star and a great friend and I hope she always remains both.” Miss Young won an Academy Award as best actress in 1948 for “The Farmer’s Daughter.” She was the star of 94 motion pictures and was the creator, producer and star of “The Loretta Young Show” during television’s so-called Golden Age Miss Young had been scheduled to work eight days out of the four week shooting schedule. The movie, a pilot for an ABC prime-time soap opera, also stars Michael York, who would make his series debut, Linda Purl, Paul Shenar, Melissa Sue Anderson, Raymond St. Jacques and Dan O’Herlihy. Miss Young s last film was “It Happens Every Thursday” in 1953. She then took the unprecedented step of retiring from films to produce and star in "The Loretta Young Show" on television. She won three Emmy awards as best dramatic actress in 1954, 1956 and 1958. She was also nominated five other times. The anthology show ran on NBC from 1953 to 1961. In the 1962-63 season she starred on NBC in a dramatic show called “The New Loretta Young Show.” As we know Joan Fontaine took on the role

      I do think Ben should come back. I think Max Bowden is all wrong for Ben.
