Oh, lord...and then she unraveled some more. lol. 

 

Yeah, Sheila pushing Brooke off the wagon (and Deacon struggling as well) and Brooke completely and utterly losing her s&*( is doing wonders for this show right now. And then that coda where she poured out the vodka, stares at the bottle with sadness (and longing)...that was just so well done. 

 

As has been the flashback to NYE. 

 

And already they are dropping crumbs...Thomas's son trying to warn Liam, but Liam not getting it, Deacon questioning the bottles, Brooke trying to piece it all together...I hope they don't figure out it was Sheila too soon, but let it build a little bit. I like these are all puzzle pieces. And they should be dealt with one by one. Meanwhile, work on Sheila making those inroads with Finn. 

 

Outside of a brief aftermath of the Paris/Carter kiss and a nice talk scene between Deacon and Liam...nothing really going on so far this week. 

 

It's all about Brooke.

That was the longest wait for an answer to a question in history.

I see Cassandra Creech is Mama Buckingham. I have a feeling they’ll pair her with Carter for a mother/man/daughter triangle, which would mean they are unlikely to play the Quinn beat.

And how long has Sheila been talking to herself? I know that’s vintage Sheila, but I feel like she hasn’t had a scene with another character in a while lol.

Sheila talking to herself in her hotel room is something I'm over. Why isn't she trying to get Steffy to relapse on drugs instead of getting Brooke to drink again? You would think she would do something to the person who is trying to keep her away from her precious Finn and Hayes. I do wish they would bring on Ian Buchanan as James with a recast Mary to add to the mix too. 

 

 

Alan Locher is doing an interview with Sarah Brown (ex-Agnes) on January 13.

I like the show very much right now so I don't want to complain but yes, my main issue with current story is that it is weird for Sheila to be fixated on Finn while Mary is out there - and if I remember correctly, alienated from her mother at the time she exited.

This is weird too but in defense of the show this isn't the first time Sheila get obsessively sidetracked into getting revenge on a character that is secondary to what her main purpose supposedly is.

I tend to agree but it is weird to see those clips on YouTube and the consensus over there is very much anti-Hope.
I get the Logan women have a team of rabid haters but for all the problems with the writing of Hope/Steffy/Liam I always felt that at least he had been good at portraying both of them as making bad choices: they both went after Liam when he was married to the other for instance.
So it is weird to me to hear the Steffy fans use the Brooke insults on Hope without any self-awareness. Do they not remember how that triangle started?

Now that we're back down the the Hope vs Steffy/Taylor vs Brooke rabbit hole again, maybe it's bad writing but I thought Hope & Steffy made peace at Steffy's wedding? Now all of a sudden she's getting territorial about the Logans versus Forresters again? This is why Hope shouldn't have been Steffy's maid of honor or whatever, especially considering that the latter just slept with her husband. 

Moreover, 30+ year olds are still pining over parental neglect and and wanting their long divorced parents back together??

    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
