And romantic. I'd take either one and of course IRL Fish is gay....

I cracked up at Leo saying that Brady and Xandy are borderline homophobic because they don't want to f-ck him. And then Big Daddy John is a silver fox 😂 I love it.

It was funny and I thought we were leading to Leo locking lips with John

I didn't care though for Leo calling Brady homophobic considering how supportive he was of Paul.

As fun as Leo is...Ron is stereotyping the gay male. Horny all time.....drinking 24/7 and coming on to ever hot straight guy they see.

It’s a shame that the Brady/Leo kiss was about 100x as hot as any kiss between Will and Sonny.

The reason it was hot was because of Brady. Leo added nothing to it.

I wish Jack and Jennifer's son went by another name. Whenever I see or hear the name "J.J.," I expect him to show up wearing a funny hat and saying "Dy-no-mite!".

("Like sands through the hourglass, so are the 'Good Times of Our Lives'.")

I don’t get how he is a Junior anyway. His name is Jack Patrick.

I like Leo but ReRon needs to STOP with Leo trying to force himself on straight men. It's not cute or funny at all IMO

I know some think it's campy, good fun to see a gay man pressure a straight man into having sex, but I don't. I think it speaks to the absolute worst stereotypes around gay men.

Of course, Ron Carlivati's writing this [!@#$%^&*], so like hell am I surprised he would go there.

Days is [!@#$%^&*]. At least this campy over the top [!@#$%^&*] makes the show entertaining. Without it I'd probably tune out. Don't know why the hell Will is still waiting for Fat Sonny. Sonny aint all that...

Ok as a gay male I hated that with Leo and Brady. If this had been between a man and a woman it could have lead to sexual harrasement/Assualt and it shpuld. This is stuff Rn does that I dont like. He may be gay but Leo is a Preadator. He is not a good guy dont try and sell me that he is

On soaps, if a man did that to a woman it would be passed off as true love, hot, or sexy.

With that said, everything Ron Carlivati does in these types of scenes is homophobic material, from asking viewers to laugh at gay men trying to sexually assault straight men (he did the same thing on GH) to making light of homophobia by having Leo claim that if straight men don't want to [!@#$%^&*] him they are homophobic. He made light of homophobia at OLTL by having a character fake his own hate crime so I'm not surprised.

Sadly a lot of people lap this stuff up because it fits their image of gay men.

Carlivati is a self-hating hack and his writing is trash. I'm sorry that the egomaniacs like Jamey Giddens and Nellie Oleson gassed him up to a level he has never and will never deserve.

Sadly, it's realistic.. but how ReRon is writing it is making it a joke when it is an actual issue I've witnessed at least when I used to play on the gay sport leagues where the lone straight male player would be lusted after.. with some guys even hitting on him and trying to force themselves on them. Luckily, they were smart enough to exit after the games and not hang out with the team post-game in Boystown. He did go to a gathering I had because I was the only one not into him, etc.

So it's realistic.. but since ReRon isn't known for depth.. he shouldn't even be attempting to write it.

+1 on the whole post but especially the highlighted red part.

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
