Dull actor, dull character.

 

Just thinking how the marriage of Sharon/Rey was pointless. They're already having problems.

The whole story would have been more dramatically effective if their mutual reluctance to marry came into play.

Sharon, because she's already had umpteen marriages and is conflicted about her relationship with Adam.

Rey, because he's already had a bad marriage and Sharon has the above listed issues.

The inevitable split wouldn't leave Sharon with yet another divorce on her scoreboard.

 Rey has lost his family and work connection, so he could be dropped with little fallout.

It’s funny back during 2007-2010 I just didn’t care for Bryton or the character of Devon at all but grew to love and appreciate him since then. I blame all of it on idiotic writing.

 

Rey has been basically a Dylan replacement this whole time. With the news about Sasha Calle and the fact both Calle &  Vilasuso’s contracts are up this year means it’s the end of the Rosales clan. We’ll probably end up with Dylan returning again as soon as Rey leaves to cause conflict for Adam & Sharon.

Seeing Bill (who I cant stop calling Brad) and Lauren was cool. As someone said it felt natural and energetic. I could stomach that pairing. Bill is an a***h**** annoying villain, but I'd like to see him give Victor and Jack hell!

 

Characters getting married so willy-nilly becomes tiresome and repetitive. It dulls the impact of the relationship and or eventual breakup. Nothing wrong with just having them date. 

 

As for Brighton James, it feels like they just have black actors there for affirmative action purposes. They get no interesting story lines, and haven't really had any interesting cast hires since Drusilla got killed off. I was never really into Hillary but I feel like she could have done well as an antagonist to Dru and Olivia. I miss the days lf Malcom, Dru, Neil, Olivia, Alex, Callie, Keesha, Nathan etc...

I very much dislike Steve Burton - both him and his acting - but once Dylan was Paul and Nikki's son, I am OK with the character being on the canvas and getting an actual actor who can act in the role might make him slightly more interesting. It'd be Rey but with ties to the rest of the characters. 
Imagine the current storyline, flaws and all, but with the added wrinkle that the man Sharon is playing around on with Adam is Nikki's son and you immediately get at least a couple extra fun scenes out of it.


And unpopular opinion: almost all her storylines were duds but I love Jessica Collins very much and I wouldn't mind having Avery back, especially if she is written like she initially was.

I wouldn't mind Jessica Collins on Bold and Beautiful as a recast for Kristen Forrester. But I know Brad would get bored with her and Kristen in about three months due to his legendary short attention span for characters that aren't Liam/Steffy/Hope merry-go-round.

This show is really starting to tick me off.  They'll drop a bomb at the end of an episode.  You expect them to deal with the fallout in the next episode and they don't.  Sally tells Summer that Bill Spencer can ruin your life or whatever and we don't even get to hear Summer reacting to this the day after.   Faith shows Sharon the Shadam picture and they don't even show Sharon trying to lie her way out of it in the next episode. They always drop these major shockers on us and then they abandon those scenes altogether.  It's like lazy writing.

    • I just got to it!  Assuming you mean the scene where they got into Marian's computer and it's Beaty's Marian saying "Very good, you guessed the magic word.  Today, the role of Marian Crane is being played by..." and then Wolf's Brent saying "Brent Lawrence. That's right folks, I'm baaaack.  And I have Lucy..." This makes me want to know even MORE about the behind the scenes. Like did Beaty already film the Marian clip while he was dressed up, but then they couldn't film his Brent scene so they used Wolf? I don't hate it, I really like that they were able to use Beaty's Marian in that way. And LOL yes, the LESBIAN question, so funny. This story's climatic ending is really paying off. I'm not to the end yet, but enjoying the ride.
    • I remember some of it. SO different from Billy. He was the hospital heartthrob. I have such a clear memory of Rita seducing him. I swear to God, Santana's Samba Pa Ti was playing in the background. It's funny the details you remember.  Honestly, anything that would have prevented him from being pulled into the Reva vortex would have been O.K. with me.
    • I haven't seen the episode yet. I still need to watch today's Days of Our Lives and General Hospital.
    • You are so very welcome!

      She got her guarantee. We love to see it.
    • And then, when you win, you can give him a big hug
    • Yes, this is Soapsuds. I'd like to appear on your show but Chandler Massey must be my celebrity companion. I'm surprised no one posted about Chandler appearing on the game show. He must have taped these around December, as he has the same style of hair and facial hair as he did when he did an interview for a 90s Christmas.
    • The timeline on Days of Our Lives is verging on absurd in the best way. Tate yelled that Johnny has been stringing him along for “months,” which is technically true—after all, they first discussed the adoption in March, and now it’s May. However, within the show's internal timeline, EJ was shot just two days ago, meaning Amy met with EJ, Paulina, Johnny, and Chanel at most four days ago. So when Tate starts swinging at people for backing out of parenthood, it really depends on which universe we’re inhabiting. That said, I appreciate how cleverly the EJ mystery is unfolding. They neatly closed the glaring loophole everyone spotted yesterday: the SIM card wouldn’t capture the shooting, because EJ pocketed it beforehand. I like the momentum in how suspects are being methodically eliminated. (Cough cough, like the little girl upstairs whose mother refuses to send her to therapy.) Meanwhile, setting aside the online component, I thought only men were being auctioned off. Now Cat was on the block too? And Chad somehow didn’t keep up with bidding on his phone? We understand the intent, but it would have been far cleaner for Cat to simply run into EJ while picking up a blouse she left behind at the mansion. On the other hand, I hope they don't pursue a drug dependency storyline for EJ. He’s only misused medication once, and even after previous shootings, he was never depicted as reliant on painkillers. His past crimes were never fueled by addiction, and tying sobriety into his character now feels misplaced. This isn't so much a criticism as a reflection on my experience watching the episode. As Marlena maintained a stoic front with her self-absorbed children—each eager to discuss only themselves—I found myself anticipating a quiet scene of her breaking down alone in her office. It wasn’t meant to be; I can’t fault the writers for not filming the scene I envisioned nine months after the fact. Yet, Marlena’s solitude stayed with me. She stands surrounded by family and friends, but as the pillar of strength they all lean on, she is left with no one to support her now that John is gone. It seems so much lonelier than Julie or Maggie's widowhood, because those women had a different relationship with their family and kids.
    • Today's episodes of GH and BTG showcase that when you have great writing,production, and performances, you achieve  great soap opera. Bravo.
