I find it absurd Paul speaks of morality yet he had Kevin a known criminal, arsonist, predator, stat rapist work by his side at the police station. So his judgement is very poor to me and I think he sucks as a detective. He should have left long ago. Detective Webber was a good cop he knew what Kevin was up to and would NOT do what Paul did and give that criminal a job at the police station??? WTF???

 

I mean it isn't everyday a person like Kevin who tried to kill Colleen locking her in a freezer while he torched the place with her in it..Then Kevin gets job from Paul at the police station??? Are we friggin for real??? Not to mention he was a predator and stat rapist and much more.

If it weren't for TL's status - it's well-known how long he's staying - I'd have a real problem with this. It so obvious this is just an attempt to push Bacteria again.

 

Wasn't Christine Victor's lawyer at one point? Has Victor ever done anything against Christine? At least Paul has a legit reason (Patty) for hating Victor. I'm still trying to recall when Christine's change of heart. 

 

Typical soap sexism - bring icky predator Kevin back, but not the talented EH with the far more interesting legacy character with ties to so many on canvas.

I mean when he's mad at her, he treats her like the dirt beneath his feet. I think the two chemistry between the two actors is what makes me believe in them when realistically they'd both be better off with better people. If it wouldn't ruin another one of Hilary's friendships, I could actually see her with Billy. MM and JT had some chemistry today, but MM is a chemistry magnet. I liked Hilary's honesty today, but I know she'll end up just getting destroyed by someone tomorrow.

Yes. This is at heart a problem with the writers and not the actors.  I could go for a triangle with Billy/Hillary/Devon as long as everyone gets to win at some point.  I just see so much potential for Hillary, but this show just doesn't know how to use her. It's sad because Hillary is one of the few new characters that found a place in ages, even that despite truly awful writing.  I can hardly believe she survived that pairing with Neil.

When Adam is revealed to be alive, which we know he is. But it doesn't matter, it's clear they're not going there. 

 

Anyway, I'm more bummed out about the continuing Hilary bashing. Good grief from the Thursday (US) write-up, I just can't with Devon. Pair Hilary with Jack or Nick - anything is better than this ongoing humiliation.

Good point. But that’s also why Kevin shouldn’t come back. There’s no explanation that suffices for Chloe not being around. 

 

That was a GAG ME scene. Devon telling Tessa she has good in her and Hilary doesn’t? WTF? Hilary’s mad3 some bombass mistakes, but I can’t think of anything in Tessa that shows goodness. She’s used or abused everyone she comes in contact with.

Devon is being used to get fans to root for Hilary cause there is nothing and  no one else to lose and use. Him and an offscreen girlfriend who pops up with no lines just so Hilary can look  pathetic and jealous.  Sad, really. Poor Bryton on Twitter trying to stop the hatred for his character over this crap writing. TPTB will finish off that Hevon fan base, yet.

This show has become totally disjointed.  Yesterday, Billy went to Vikki's house to pick up the kids, but a few minutes later he's in the bar at Top of the Tower.  All the time Phyllis is out sleuthing, but later Billy has tucked the kid in.  Are we to believe that Chelsea bopped Sharon over the head?  If so, just moments before she was sitting with Nick having a drink.  I think the film things out of sequence and then piece the whole crap together later on.

    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates. We've known her long enough to by that this would be consistent with her past characterizatioin
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
