Paris moving in with Finn & Steffy is completely random and kind of dumb lol.

So is the fact that Quinn and Carter are still continuing their affair in secret  even though Carter offered to leave Forrester. There is absolutely no stakes to the story anymore and is senseless.

Why exactly did Finn & Steffy name their kid Hayes? Lol I know she used it professionally for years but the name came from her unbalanced ex. Wouldn’t Hamilton, Jack, or yes even naming him after Taylor have been more appropriate? Maybe Thudley forgot his own show’s history. 
 

Agreed. Not to mention the conversations and phone calls Ridge & Eric keep making to Carter are really contrived. Like why does Carter need to be at their constant beck and call?

I think this is actually a case of the writers forgetting the show's history. Either that, or Steffy is unaware of where the name Hayes came from.

And the whole situation with Carter is contrived - especially the idea that out of all the lawyers in LA, Eric would trust Carter to represent him in the divorce. It's right up there with new parents Steffy and Finn offering Paris to come live with them.

I guess if there was anything left in terms of psychological realism, it just went out the window this week.

According to the spoiler regarding as to why Finn is apprehensive everytime Steffy mentions his parents. I'm like that's not some big bad secret Brad. Unless something else occurred for it to be so.

Wait did Steffy really call her son 'Hayes'. I'm not gonna lie I'm kind of digging the way B&B handles the character names. It's wildly unimaginative, sure, but I do like how he's always keeping it close to home. We already have a Logan. Spencer's probably coming as that one user already posted.

Hope named her daughter after her grandmother Beth. Not to mention Brad simply slapped the names Bill, Caroline and Sally on their new counterparters. Steffy was named after Stephanie. 

We have Eric who named his son Rick. And of course Bridget which is Brooke + Ridge combined. Ridge who has a son called R.J. (Ridge Jr.). 

Bill has sons named Will and Liam. I think that's just hilarious.

I looked up the real names of Brad's children and of course one of his sons is named Brad.

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.
    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said this on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago, so perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. In addition, Leslie did say she grew up listening to The Articulettes too.
    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
    • I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.
    • I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
