this show stays going back in time w/ these stories. I swear. 

 

 

 

Is it me or is Jennifer Gareis looking a little too much like Sharon Case these days?

Donna going on about "You would never hurt Katie, right?" when she ALREADY DID THIS is just such lazy writing. Your sister's the town slut. Man I miss Stephanie.

This is not even the FIRST or SECOND damn time this ho has done it either.

they probably share the same surgeon. I'm assuming they're still friends IRL?

Look at CK side-stepping those Lane fanatics on her way back to the set, lol.

 

 

You can't convince me that she wasn't sick of that pairing and mostly wanted out because of it.

 

 

 

I just read somewhere that she is still on recurring and that she has elected to work more often now. Hmm, I wonder why?

 

LOL I hadn't checked back in here and didn't see this when I posted about Khalil. Soooo agreed, as you know. LOL!

 

Hmm. Wonder why indeed  

such a pointless, missed opportunity to have Bridget there for the "big reveal" and not have her be the one to go in on Brooke. 🤦‍♂️

Worse - Bridge’s only reaction was like a one-liner to Quinn. I bet it had something to do with how AJ was paid. Why bring her back if not to pile on Brooke?  Katie may think she’s been betrayed, but Bridget is related to one of Brooke’s ‘follow my heart’ moments.

yup! It would have been an absolutely epic callback to have Bridget get sick to her stomach and vomit in the nearest trash can, and then before Katie and Ridge can really get started Bridget starts railing on Brooke and everyone is standing there shocked and speechless and the only person that even *attempts* to come to Brooke's defence would be Steffy in a shocking twist. We as viewers would feel sympathy for rooke in spite of knowing it's everything she deserves! LOL 

@dio Big missed opportunity because AJ could actually give it good. I suppose we know Brooke is going to hit the bottle soon - I wonder who will 'save' her - Bill or Eric! I'm betting on Eric in order to keep the RS/KKL fire going.

wait, so Vinny's secretly in love with Thomas? 🙊

 

and expecting them to flip this whole SL on Sally and make it have either been her scheme from the start (death diagnosis) or she's gonna find out it was a misdiagnosis, but keeps it to herself because everything's going so well. 🙄
 

 

Haha two months later and looking back you did turn out to be correct about Sally lol.

 

Of course the show really blew the Vinny angle LOL. Vinny brought Thomas lunch and had lunch with him and wanted Thomas to stay at *his* house with him and kept trying to talk Thomas out of marrying Zoe and stop worrying about Hope. On the wedding day he told Thomas how handsome he looked and made one last desperate plea to stop the wedding. Then he cried in disgust once Thomas’s was exposed. Like Thomas we hadn’t seen him since.

Next time we do, Vinny will have locked him up in a cage, like Lisa Mansfield or Jan Spears.

LOL given Thomas and Vinny spent all of last summer in their boxer briefs and tank tops together! I was just surprised that B&B actually even gave subtle hints.

Thomas would be a perfect fluid character. Vinny would still be a good fling for Steffy.

like, I know they've been trying to rebuff the "gay" and "fashion" stereotype for decades... but at this point it's beyond disingenuous that the show has had no gay people whatsoever. Vinny being in love with his bff Thomas would be cuteee! 

 

my next prediction, if he show ever comes back, is that Flo's gonna sleep with Bill and be his new love interest. They've been focusing too heavily as a character to be for Wyatt. imo. They are gearing up to retread Steffy/Bill, but with Flo imo. It's the only thing that makes sense, tbh.

Agree. Glad I'm not the only one who's seen Vinny and Thomas as doing some very interesting things BTS. B&B would be smart to capitalize.

I will say there’s always sensitivity about making characters who are homicidally insane and child abusers (like Thomas) LGBTQ, especially on a show that has resisted showcasing queer characters for years, even as it was set in an industry known for queer representation.
