Every time I tune in it's the same conversation.  Taylor: "Do you really think Bill won't go to the police?  Will he keep the secret?" 

 

Steffy:  "Yes, he assured me. We'll be OK.  And the only people that know are you.  And me.  And Bill.  So just try to calm down.  Well, and Liam.  Oh, and Hope.  And now Brooke. Oh, and of course now Ridge.  So you'll be fine Mom."  LOLLLL.

 

Half the show knows now, it's just so silly. 

These days does a Director even ever stop a scene, or do they just let it go.  I'd love to know.  Because that needed a serious "Ok, Cut, stop, wait...Hunter...dial it back, let's try again."

It's so painfully obvious that this was one of those occasions, but Daytime does not GAF!  How could anyone let that on the air?!  Hunter can't move her face, fine!  Tell her to deliver the scenes as dramatic as possible but don't cry.  Try to be strong.  If Bell weren't so damn determined to have Brooke win, a bit of quality would have been considered.

Seriously, how could they let that scene air like that? I'm assuming they did more than one take - and maybe that was the best she could do with it. I'm glad Hunter is back more frequently. Taylor, as Queen Steffy's mom, has been far too absent. I always thought $B and Taylor would make an interesting couple.  

 

I'm still hoping there's a twist where Taylor didn't shoot $B and it was the other key suspect. That could help explain Taylor's bizarre behavior - she's torn apart keeping the secret.

Ingo was always an odd choice for Thorne. I do find him handsome and capable enough, but not as Thorne.  I think Ingo had some star power? at least in the late 90's.  He was pretty popular in the Sonny/Brenda/Jax triangle.  He is much more needed as Jax on GH anyway with his daughter running around in a big story.  It seems glaring that Jax would be completely absent while his daughter lives full time with Sonny.  Idk much about him personally, but he named his child Peanut.  I have a hard time trusting anyone who thinks that is a good decision.

Lingo didn’t work as Thorne at all. He’s also too thin, and it’s cost him lookswise, especially in the face.

 

i also have to admit I turned on him when I found out what a right wing idiot he is. At this point, anyone who supports Trump and espouses far right bullsh_it can just go away.

Ingo definitely has aged a lot. I couldn't put my finger on it but maybe it's that he is thinner.  I met him once many years ago at a bar and he was very handsome.  I always liked him as Jax, but the minute he was cast as Thorne I knew it was a mistake and wouldn't last long.

 

As far as his politics, I didn't even know he was a US citizen (is he?) let alone that he was right winged.   Strange... I always got a hippie, I live on the ocean and surf all day vibe from him.  Definitely not someone who I thought had a care in the world about politics or would be a Trump supporter.

    • 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.

    • Her accent sounds horrible and doesn't fit in line with the character or the dialogue. I was just messing around on YouTube and perusing early Tad and Dixie videos. Notably, Dixie, a resident of Pigeon Hollow, West Virginia, has no discernible accent. i have no idea why she would add a defunct accent to this character now. I want to do an honest survey here. I watch BTG every day and I love it. It's not perfect, but I find it 99% entertaining. For those that find fault with it - what is actually bothering you? I'm not going to argue at all, or disagree with you. I just want to know what others are seeing that I'm not.
    • It's a choice and today, she made it more British than ever before. It's almost like she's making Pamela act like how she thinks she should be acting.
