How much does Tessa make as an assistant at HWG? Does she really qualify for low income housing? If she does, where is she getting her fancy duds? Her makeup? Her hair styling?

 

Theres no reason this lame ass character should be “homeless.” It’s ridiculous.

But it was Nikki, and then Noah who came to her rescue initially. Despite what Sally said, to me, it wasn't a Mariah/Tessa story from the start.

 

I guess Mariah is saving her now? (I'm not watching). Tessa became homeless again? I wish I cared .... lol

 

I know it wasn't everyone's fave story, but they totally lost whatever momentum they once had with Mariah and Tessa. So now they seem to be picking up on them again? Zzzzzz

Yeah!  Mariah kisses her brother's gf and repeatedly attempts to get said gf to admit her feelings without saying a word to her brother, but she comes out of this smelling like a rose yet again!  And now Devon/Hevon are being used to showcase this boring bitch and that other boring bitch!

It's unwatchable. 

 

The show had started to write Hilary much better. More balanced.  But she's back under the damn bus cause the writers need someone to be the villain so they can show us how great Mariah and Tessa are for each other. 

 

Hilary gets to be the evil bitch they bond over and take up for each other with. "See, homophobes. They may be gay but they are good together and better people and more deserving than Hilary. Root for them." I'm so tired of Hilary carrying the burden for Mariah (and Tessa's) likability and romance. 

 

And Devon gets to look the weak, pathetic fool who still wants Hilary while she bahaves like an inhuman, narcissistic, clown. 

 

Thanks for saying so. It seems some code of silence taken around here on this subject. I guess it's cause folks like Mariah and don't mind Hilary and Devon shortchanged for her. But had that been Sharon treated like this so someone else could be propped up....

 

That's cause it wasn't a Tessa and Mariah story. 

 

It was a Devon and Mariah love story. They wrote to them to take off big and clearly had planned for a long term triangle starring Mariah as Taylor, Hilary as Brooke, and Devon as Ridge. You don't destroy a couple like they did Hevon last year in favor of another unless you are serious. Hilary became the other woman/interloper and antagonist in her own marriage. Devon and Mariah just didn't work well on-screen despite the great writing they had. If they had worked,  they'd be married with heroine Mariah about to give birth to Devon's child right now for Feb sweeps while Hilary was somewhere seething and plotting as the villain to their HEA. That's the story they WERE writing. Sally can stop lying! 

 

Tessa's role was as Devon's talent in the business he and Mariah would build together.

Sad to hear Hilary is being thrown under the bus again.

 

I'm not sure how they're handling her wanting a baby, but I think if under good writers, it could add a lot of depth to Hilary. She wants a baby to fill the void she feels in her life, so she wants one for the wrong reasons, realizes this ... and so on and so forth. Is that anywhere near close to what they're doing? Or is she just thirsty for a baby because Mal doesn't know what to do with her?

She's just thirsty for a baby cause, I'm assuming, giving her one was in the notes from CBS and Sony. It started out fairly decent with her bonding with Cane's kid while lily couldn't. But then that turned into a does she or doesn't she want Cane. It was used to push lily back to Cane.

 

She, then, had the revelation she wanted a baby of her own after vehemently denying it for months.  But it was cause she wanted someone to love and whom would love her unconditionally. The story has now become, how will Hilary get a baby?  They've previewed at least 4 or 5 different stories as to how. I guess it's supposed to keep us guessing. Fail! 

 

 

Hillary isn't anyone's cheerleader. She's mean and an annoyance despite being shown as the only smart one in the qaud. She's someone for Mariah and Tessa to defend each other against and eventually win out over. I guess they've given her the reason of hormone shots to explain her OTT childish grating  behavior at least.

 

 

Agree about Devon finally being shown in business. Finally. But the entire point of it is to showcase Tessa and Mariah.

Tracy pulled at a lot of heartstrings today. There were great scenes at the Abbott house.

 

Phyllis' smirk getting into the elevator to close the show was iconic. She knows what's up with Chelsea, at least to an extent, and Nick is just clueless. 

 

Umm...what happened to Chelsea's other sleeve? Get lost in the wash?

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
