I know people who allege they can be making valid opinions going by clips & what other posters are saying. I call BULLSHIT on this! The only way to have a valid opinion on a soap is to watch it! Where did we get so far away from common sense?!

People who say they watch for one person or one couple, I call BS on this! Ideally soaps are meant to be consumed, whether you're nibbling or gulping it down whole, the object is that you're gonna miss something if you don't embrace the whole show. The modern era has brought two terrible things to soaps. 1 The ability to FF over wholesale amounts of shows. 2 Spoilers.

BITD in my opinion the ad agencies sold a bill of goods when they convinced the Nielsens that very much younger people were better potential consumers of product. I call BS on this!

Even with the proper care and disinfection agent I was using.. today at the pharmacy the lady told me my cuts looked infected and gave me an antibiotic gel. But I feel it's improving. The big scrape on the left knee that was giving the horrible pain is going better. But I will start putting on the antibiotic gel just to be safe. My blown up knee got down today and I'm finally able to walk freely and without that much of pain. For a very active person like me - I rarely get under 15 000-20 000 steps, it's been A HELL to not move for a day and a half, other than take the dog 2 times outside. I want to MOVE AND MOVE AND MOVE.

I am at the end of my wits today. My left leg is still giving me hell trying to walk and this... LYING down and expecting someone else to care for me is making me crazy. I am starting to have cabin fever. I tried to go out yesterday, since I felt the leg is okay enough, but after 10-15 minutes it started giving me pain. And I managed to visit the nearest pharmacy which is like 2-3 minutes from us.

I am really.... going mad now and with some personal things going on with my family. I am 10 minutes close to just ignoring the pain and going out in spite of the injury. I just don't want in the end to hurt my leg more.

Tonight a friend made me remember a funny story from years ago... A professor in my academy wanted the phone number of another colleague aka my best friend at the time... and he just asked... Does anyone have her number? I replied - oh yes, of course I have it... and went straight for my phone and opened my contacts... found her number and gave him my phone to write it down... And then he just looks at me with a strange look and kinda in shock and asks... - Who is The Black Death? 

At this moment I realized... that... that's how I had added her on contacts, because it was part of our way of joking and we would call each-other names like that. And I was so used to calling her The Black Death (aka The Bubonic Plague) and things like that... and she calling me a Snake... that I didn't even think twice before giving him my phone. I was sooo ashamed. Everyone in class LAUGHED SO MUCH.

I explained to him - Yes this is HER! I'm sorry it's just the way we talk to each-other. 

That man was shooocked but he laughed too.

      Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.

      Yeah.  The hot, poor bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but with a heart of gold was a common soap trope in the 80s

      That's been an issue with me... the lack of a cohesive 'Have Not' crowd that has focus other than Leslie/Eva.   I would beef up Jan, Mona, Laura, Joey, and few other male characters.. and not just be out to overthrow the Duprees.. but co-existing and broadening the scope of the show since the show is called Beyond the Gates. I think the set up the show has with everything revolving around the Duprees will become predictable especially if they always win.   It would be like Victor Newman on Y & R for 40+ years.. always winning, hardly ever losing.   With MVJ/Guza.. both trained under that mindset... I fear that will happen.   I've always heard from a performer that is playing a character like Leslie/Dana that you have to find the victim/hurt beneath the surface in order to play a villain/villainess... and I think that's why I enjoy watching her.. because she brings so much more to the part than what the writers put on the page.

      I figure that was really hard for Dom to do. I completely GET why they wrote it the way they did but I wonder if it was necessary. Meanwhile I have 2 really icky ideas in my head. Drew is going to blame Tracy KNOWING it was not her. Dante is going to blame Lulu.  After that, everyone else is going to be mad at Lois.  Tracy is going to double down on wanting to get rid of Sonny. Sonny's going to be more dug in to stay because he now has a new descendant.

      I can actually buy Brook Lynn being so self-absorbed and incurious that she never thought to question why her mom and grandma were so attached to Gio.

      It was overkill and the whole narrative Lois was too nice to the orphan kid when he was little, WHAT? Like Emma said no one thinks Gio is a troublemaker that gets 14-year-old kids drunk for fun. That being said, Lulu figured this Gio thing out in episode, but Brook Lynn never once questioned Lois and Gloria's attachment to a child that was the same age as the baby she gave up?  Ever?
