How many miracles is Victoria going to get?

Neil made that bridge loan from Hamilton-Winters, which she claimed saved Brash and Sassy after she nearly made a trash agreement with Ben Hochman.  

Now, Victor just happens to have a top of the line, cutting edge skincare/cosmetics line, that is ready to go, lying around...dormant?  Ridiculous.

So Graham suggests that Ashley's paranoid vindictiveness may be an inherited trait from her biological father? Might Graham have inherited his low-key vindictiveness and similar attributes from his?

I'm behind (big surprise).  I'm not sure who's annoying me more right now, Cane or Juliet.  The writing for Juliet is obnoxious. "The baby and I are so full". Woman, please.

  I did agree with her when she told Cane to step up or step back though.

Marla Adams is holding the show together and one can imagine some of the veteran writers (Slater and Esser) pushing Alden/Sussman to give her Katherine Chancellor type status on the show.  They'd be fools not to. She's absolutely the best addition to this show in a decade.  But wow, how obvious that Sally made things up week to week. What was the whole Tessa/Nikki story supposed to be about?  And the endless chatter about the various corporations on the show.  What was the point of Crystal? Who can keep track of all these dead end story points for which Sally had no plan?  Victor pulling out a new line for Vickie..so dumb.  But the Tessa/Mariah scenes were lovely even if they are being played to be palatable to the Trump voters who watch the show.  Kevin is annoying. Is he a law abiding hero, or a hack for Victor.  His character has been assassinated over and over (as Sharon has too).  Better he stay off the canvas for a good long time.  All fans should tweet Mal Young to implore him to burn down the Chancellor house and rebuild and destroy Ravi's shoebox office (this set competes with the worst sets on Days) so that our stars Gina and Eileen won't be forced to play scenes in that rat trap.  And has Richard Bloore, the horrid costume designer at Days, taken over YR?  Nikki's grandma blazer last week then Vickie's similarly floral patterned blazer this week. Awful.  Bill Bell, so sorry the grandeur of Genoa City, the mansion, the Colonnade Room,  destroyed by decorators from Marshall's Department Store in Burbank.

Exactly. He was a sleaze right from the beginning.

 

Random thought: someone on this board once mentioned that Victoria seemed less like Victoria or Vicky and more like a Tori.  I really have to agree. Now I'm going to call her Tori.

 Victoria would have found a way to resolve BandS's problems without Daddy's resources. Tori lets Daddy pick up the slack.

    • 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.
