Wow - Patty Weaver looks amazing!? And the other two, Nina and Cricket - sigh - that’s Y&R.

Watched at the end today.  Damn it's bad.  So is B&B - it's just terrible television.  I remember when people laughed at GL and World Turns.  Y&R and B&B are absolutely terrible.  

[Darn]

 

They do look worse than ATWT at the end (nothing will ever beat GL) and they're not even on the verge of cancellation. This is really sad.

It’s adorable that you always catch only a few minutes of the shows and then deem them “absolutely terrible.” So cute.

It doesn't take watching the full show to figure that out. Lol

Abby is definitely overused in the romance department. I don't buy not care about this romance with Chance because of it. She gets a new man and engagement every year.

I have no idea why they keep trying to make Melissa Ordway’s Abby happen. She must test well. She’s good as Victoria’s foot stool. That’s it. Her airtime could be better spread out among more viable characters.

[Faulkner]

When is a certain character supposed to show up? That’s really all I’m invested in at the moment.

 

Not sure why spoiler tags didn’t work for me just now...

What's adorable is that Christian LeBlanc or however you spell his name/Micheal has to look 90 years old so that Eric Braden can look better.  What the hell is up with that man's gray hair?  

 

[Chris B]

I think he looks much better and younger with the grey hair. He looks sexier at least.

[ranger1rg]

Hey, I have no problem criticizing the show, but I admit I watch it in good times and bad. I’m sorry, but if you’re truly watching only a few minutes every week or so, your opinion is worthless. Either that or you’re just lying about how often you watch.

 

FWIW, I don’t buy the deep Abby and Chance, either. It’s another relationship that seems superficial in every respect. When she stood at Chance’s bedside today, I wasn’t feeling it — partly because of their social distancing that wouldn’t even allow her to stand beside the bed. At the foot of the bed? Ridiculous. It was as bad as the distant dancing at Dina’s wake. 
 

CLB’s hair? The first day was a shock, but since then, I’ve decided it looks good on him. I’d rather see that than the horribly dyed brunette look. 

[Darn]

 

People are so weird about his hair. The dye was making his hair look rust colored. This is a HUGE improvement. And you're right, it does actually make him look younger and not like a man desperately trying to hold onto his youth.

[Chris B]

With the bad dye job I also didn’t find him believable as a straight romantic lead anymore. That may be horrible to say, but I truly felt it. This also opens him up to more character roles if he chooses to pursue it, which he’s mentioned he will do. At some point you have to own your age. The man is in his 60s! 

[BetterForgotten]

CLB still has an incredible body for someone his age too, but we never see it on the show. Buy yeah, he hasn't been able to play a "straight romantic lead" in years...

[Faulkner]

I think CLB just needs a haircut. The color is better. It’s just too long.

[Darn]

 

Do you do anything other than police other people's opinions?
