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?

    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

    • And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.
    • I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)
    • There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

    • Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.
