A black woman goes on a sleep over with about 5 or 6 white "friends".  At the end of the night, she's dead, no one knows what happened and the case is closed.  

A black man from PA goes on a cabin trip with 4 co workers and he's dead on the front lawn from 9 bullets the next morning.  No investigation.

The optics with this cabin mess are alarmingly bad!  

However, folks are not realizing the purpose of having Trina drugged.  It's a legit reason to remove her from the story with the other 4.  She is not important enough to be in the meaty scenes.  She is THAT irrelevant to her own future pairing and story.  Joss is supposed to be the center teen but Trina is outshining her.  Frank is rerouting viewers back to Joss by having Joss go to bat for Trina and now being taped while having sex.  There are no words to properly describe my complete disgust.   Spencer leaving with his tail between his legs after realizing someone may need to check on Trina?  Next level TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!   If I were a Sprina fan (never was), I wouldn't be after that.  

Then you have Joss' first time happen the same time her friend who's not feeling well is passed out in another room where no one checks on her?  TIIC were going for Sonny/Ava screwing in a crypt type of vile with this one.

Who knows what goes on in people's personal lives?  It's probably best for both that it's not legal, although it's really odd to have an elaborate wedding for it to be for show.

You are right.   I was generally curious to hear other peoples points of views.  I wasn't trying to be disrespectful.  I thought the teens were just being dumb and didn't think about the entire view of the situation.

It’s bad. I was very curious as to why Trina completely disappeared after being *drugged* and feeling poorly, while her besties and love interest behaved as if she didn’t exist. Not even Esme checked on her to see how her nefarious plans were working, if I recall correctly. I was baffled, but saw the online outcry and felt validated. Beyond even the bad optics, it’s nonsensical.

I have never been willing to believe Nelle was intended to be Nina's definitive daughter because it made no sense to sacrifice a family tie on a dead character.

And when Willow overheard Nina/Sonny and ended randomly being the one to blow the whistle on them, I raised an eyebrow.

Consider both my eyebrows raised now.

What was the point of Trina even going on the trip if she wasn’t going to be central to the action?  I hate this.  Another promising actor and character and the show can’t make it work.

Also- in what world is this compelling television?  The chemistry is there with Cam and Esme, and Spencer and Trina.  Instead Joss is the centerpiece again.

When Stanford was there and fighting with teacher Willow it was like a giant neon light was above her head saying I am your daughter.

Ooooh how I hollered at Finn paying Peter dust. I loved Martin talking common sense to him as well.

 

But...dare I say it...are we going to give Liz a storyline. This ring. The arson. Talk of her Dad. Or am I just hoping?

 

Though I love them together and it had a nice build...I liked someone (in this case Dante) having the 'can you truly trust Valentin' talk with Anna. 

 

I continue to love how much Felicia we are seeing. Given how she's been here and there and mostly unavailable when Maxie needed her, to see her all over the place has been awesome.

    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • 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 with back polka dots on black background) 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.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      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.
