The crossover doesn’t make any sense because the stakes just aren’t there. Bummer whining “Sally is after my job!” just doesn’t cut it. There’s really nothing of consequence here and no drama whatsoever. Shoot there’s not even anything to gain if Bummer learns more about Sally. Exposure of Sally just feels really weak.
 

It would be something Sally had been in town for six months, built up her image, made friends with someone like both Mariah & Lola, made the moves on either Kyle and/or Jack with Theo still in town plotting with her as Sally systematically sabotaged Summer’s career but the show is too dumb to even tell a small arc like that.

I'm not looking forward to seeing DB Chance. I want my Justin Gaston back.

I'm not liking this Adam storyling, but darn it if Grossman isn't saving it regardless.

 

Nothing is really hoping my interest. I am loving the Faith storyline. 

 

I wish they would use Sally better. So much potential there. I like that she has wormed her way into Jack's good graces. 

 

And same with Lauren/Jack. It's a shame they never went there. 

 

I have always been here for Icy Victoria....now if they could find someone to be her match in iciness male-wise. 

 

Happy I tuned in to see Victor/Nikki come back from their trip. I was watching that scene and went MTS has the bluest eyes. lol.

 

That's all I got.

With all the revolving door romances, why has Phyllis/Jack never been revisited?

 

Jack had another fling with Nikki a couple of years back but Phyllis seems to be a no go, despite the fact that it is as viable as any other pairing.

Meanwhile Jack has nothing and Phyllis/Nick are getting another go round.

 

Is it a case of either MS or PB against the pairing for some reason?

No evidence for this on my part but I get the feeling MS doesn't want to be paired with PB as he is 67 and she wants to present as eternally 40 and way too hot to be paired with an old dude.

 

Anyway, here's what she says about Peter in the latest SOD

Favorite Thing About Working With Peter Bergman? “He’s so kind and good and he really cares about you in a scene. He’s so givingand just wants to honor the history of the characters. I respect Peter tremendously and how he lives his life. He’s a team player because to him, it’s all about the story. Also,if I have some issue at work, I can always call  Peter and be like, ‘Is this my imagination ...?’ And he’ll say, ‘No, you’re right,’ or ‘That’s not right.’ ”

I am sick to death of the ever horny Phick. 
Perhaps her messing with Victoria will put an end to them at least for a year or so. Viewers deserve a break.

 

People looking shocked at a perfectly healthy looking Chelsea. 

I like Amanda’s mom and her daughter. I hope they stick around for a bit.

      That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?

      Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.

      Unfortunately, as the 90s wore on, Felicia started wearing as many gray and neutral tones as Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan could produce, and the shoulder pads deflated to a drop sleeve.

      I think Dante is reacting how most parents would react.

      5-2   Lord... At least the week started off well...I think. I don't know where to start.   Oh, yes, I do. It was mostly background noise to me. There was nothing to the majority of the characters that were on. Meaning, it was mostly characters that I didn't care for or I've gotten accustomed to just FF-ing through. Or just zoning out. Even the possibility that Michael and Lauren might have a story was just meh simply because we have done this dance before and Lauren was coming across like Michael was working for Sonny on GH the mob.   The biggest thing I really took away from last week was that the new costumer designer has stepped up her game again. It didn't bother me at all, but I wish there was some drama with this fashion. I liked Claire's outfit, LOVE Nikki's. And I continue to like brighter colors on Nick though I hated those pants. And I could go on about the clothes misses like Billy in that short sleeeve, but I digress.   The only things that held my interest...   THE SICKENING OF COLE. As soon as he started to cough, I went uh oh. I'm happy to see he might be getting a story. And I guess it shows how much history I have with the character that I care. But still...ugh.   ALL THINGS AUDRA. I admit that I was taken aback to see Victor with her at Crimson Lights. When was the last time he was there? I want to say recently with Kyle/Claire, but otherwise I still found the scene taking me aback. But I like her being soft with Kyle who actually came across annoyingly flirty for someone that hates Audra. I actually can't wait for him to eat crow. And since Audra is now being used to drive a wedge between Kyle and Claire, I have to talk about...   SUMMER'S EXIT. Mmmm...mixed feelings. It don't seem half as bad as others appear to see it. Yes, if I didn't have the context, it still seem odd that her part in the Kyle/Claire drama was barely touched on. And she interacted with everyone I felt she should interact with. But in the overall context...I still didn't mind the exit. Though it was abrupt.    I did like hearing that Noah and Allie are still together. And don't get me started on the offscreen Mariah drama.

      I'm sure old Reva/Josh fans saw the writing on the wall--and this was their pattern. They (or usually Josh) was so angry that they'd spend months yelling at each other, and then "boom", they were macking up on each other, regardless of who else they were entangled with. (This is the couple who slept together under HB's roof while Reva was married to him, after all.) "Always". *gag me*

      I don't think we've seen the last of Erica Kane. That's something I will continue believing in.

      You are the best!!!! That is a remarkable talent, to not just summarize, but contextualize Draper's dilemma!  It is delightful to be able to think of that situation in a new way. - Thank you

          I was pondering Lee Godart's accent, because it was so dreamy.  It made me think he would've been perfectly cast as Victor Newman's brother on Y&R.  American's have a hard time distinguishing European accents.  And, good news, before I hit reply, I went and confirmed the actor is still alive.

      Has anyone even told Gio that Sonny once shot Dante?

      B&B: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By skiman12082004 · Posted

      There are so many missed opportunities and story beats that could be played out on B&B. Hope was finally able to successfully move on from Liam, with Thomas, and what does Brad Bell do, he ruins it. Hope & Thomas, baggage and all, were really good together. Why Thomas is off the canvas is mind boggling, yet we have a terrible and completely useless character in Daphne still there, please make it make sense. I think Rick is needed on the show too. Have him come back and hook up with Taylor again. That would create some really good drama and cause Ridge & Brooke's heads to explode.  And for God's sake just recast RJ and bring Jack to the show as an adult to rip Brooke a new one for basically ignoring him all these years. But yeah, just my opinion
