And coming on the heels of the Ct. WyNot proposal, it's way too forced. I just don't get this show's need for everyone to get engaged/married. The custody story would still work. How does H8ie's case get better with her 2nd engagement in 4 months? That could indicates a very unstable and disruptive home situation with a woman who's too busy juggling men....

So has that person you don't like in your avatar. I don't want the show regularly, but have seen articles and pictures in the mags about how those two have really been consistently putting in workout time and it SHOWS.

It’s just a hard show to talk about. Nothing really happens, and what does is nonsensical and plot-driven. And the Brill reunion so soon after Bill/Steffy redux is just eyeroll-worthy. This show needs some fresh peers of Bill/Ridge/Brooke/Thorne/Katie who are aren’t related to any of them, even if it’s for short-term arcs.

The same flashbacks of Bill and Brooke and the same conversation that Bill has with every single woman.  "(Insert Every woman's Name), you've always been the one."  "You are the only one who understands me".  etc. etc.  It's so tired.  And Brooke is such a Ho-bag.  As soon as she's with a man she thirsts for another one.  And all of this conspiring against her own sister...Katie really needs to disown her and MEAN it.

This. I suppose after exhausting the Hope/Liam/Steffy triangle to past the point of how far a triangle should go, Brad finally gave up and fell back on writing another Brill story. The 9/28 episode barely registered a 2.0 rating for that day. 

 

The story of Bill and Brooke having a secret bedroom adjacent to Bill's office a couple years ago was even worse, but yeah it's all terribly bad.

I tuned in and I see the same garbage.  Bill pining away and chasing after Brooke again.  Same dialogue, different woman.  "you're an amazing woman".  Etc. etc.  Is any of this a surprise?  Once Bill gets obsessed with a woman, he isn't going to stop.  So he shows up at the restaurant and Brooke sits there and talks to him after Ridge FORGAVE her and told her to stay away from Bill?  And she just sits there and talks to him?  Why wouldn't you just get up and leave...?   Because she will ride the stallion again and won't stop until she does.  And when Ridge finds out she's still seeing him, she will say stupid things like she said about 'the kiss'.  "But HE kissed ME!"  It will be "But BILL came to ME."  And the custody thing makes zero sense.  He keeps saying, Katie is letting me see him whenever I want!  And it's because of YOU Brooke!  What did you say to Katie!?

 

Why would he keep digging...there really isn't anything to be suspicious about.  And him seeing Will is no different than it ever was...he just didn't do it.

What?  Nobody's excited about Pam and Charlie's engagement????  Bwahahahahaha!!!!

 

Clearly they're just trying to give Eric, Quinn, Pam, etc. something to do, but they could have found a better source of conflict than Pam wanting to get married at the Forrester mansion and have Stephanie's portrait on the wall.  Considering the number of weddings and portrait swaps that have already been allowed since Quinn's been with Eric, I don't understand why Quinn was acting like this was the FIRST time someone dared suggest either.  Just plain lazy writing. 

 

Maybe it's just me, but I've noticed Thorsten Kaye (and maybe a few others) have "stepped it up" lately, not quite phoning it in like usual or have made extra effort in their appearance.  It's as if they're scared they might lose their job or something.  LOL!  Seriously though, something's going on.  Anyone else noticed?  It's kind of subtle.  The writing's still crap though.

This show’s so inert. It’s been office meetings to fulfill guarantees, anticlimactic weddings, doctor’s visits to Robin Givens for Liam and whomever he’s screwing, a barely seen black storyline, and the same old triangles/romantic musical chairs for the past couple of years now.

 

It’s almost November, and we’re still posting in a September thread. Doesn’t that say it all?

    • As someone who was watching OLTL at the time, Dano did excellent work, but the writing was weird. Dano even got Emmy nominated for what she did. However, it did feel that the writers did not know what to do with her, but to be fair, it did feel like a lot of that was that the character was a network mandate and the writers were making it up as they were going on. I didn't watch Dano's trek around all the soaps. That kind of thing would have worked better with an ABC performer not someone who had been off OLTL for decades. I can't imagine AW without Felicia Gallant. I really don't want to because she provided so much joy for me when there was so much disappointment on that show. The only time I thought her character didn't work was the John/Felicia storyline but it got Anna Holbrook an Emmy so I can't complain all that much. It's just another example of drama at the expense of character.
    • Bringing this over from the soccer/soaps ratings thread yesterday:  Errol said: "CBS put out a notice that it could preempt at a moment's notice as the Pope selection continues, dependent on how long it takes, of course." New pope just chosen, name to be announced soon. Yeah CBS-NewYork channel 2 is airing Pope coverage instead of Y&R right now.
    • @brisbydog - I like that you have a signature font, très chic Abe and Paulina's new apartment was the first thing I noticed.  I don't understand why people over a certain age in Salem automatically move into a condo? When it seems just as simple to make the set seem like a detached home.  But, I will give points to attention to detail of choosing colors that compliment the Black actors in the scene. Which then led to the second thing I noticed.  Why would EJ want Kayla's office, when his is 3xs the size?  Also, even if he buys the hospital, won't Kayla get to keep her office? Lastly, can we at least give Cat the agency to decide on her own with whom she wishes to date?  Do men actually need to negotiate on her behalf?  She's stunning.  My advice would be if Chad is friend-zoning her after a year together, move on to his richer brother.
    • OH!!! I love it. I can't believe I missed that. In one of the 2 fan events held the 2 years after the sorry end of our lovely show, both  Anna Stuart & Stephen Schnetzer attended & I got to talk to each of them. Obviously I was in heaven. Although at least I didn't do my shy star struck thing.
    • We probably won't get any of our CBS soaps today cause of the Pope stuff, cause you know they have to air it on regular network despite having 24/7 news channels

    • I still don't know when/how did Iris find out about Evan's connection to Janice?
    • lol Cass and Donna went on a bowling date!
    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to some of the nicest members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. While others may be able to add numerous offenses, the egocentrism to force any conversation off-topic to focus on you is the most egregious act for me.  This is light entertainment, an interactive discussion, not the shallotpeel-hour.
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so.
