Surprisingly the show has actually been pretty balanced for a nice change, well except where the heck is Finn?

Yeah Thomas and Steffy sound like 14 year old kids from a bad holiday movie. Steffy sounds like a massive hypocrite when judging Brooke given Steffy’s own recent cheating on both Finn and Liam during moments of weakness.

I actually enjoyed the confrontation between Carter and Grace and they fact Grace saw Carter and Paris kissing. I think it be a lot more meaningful had the show recast Zoe to explore the sister animosity some more, although Zoe causing Paris to crap herself was silly…

Quick question outta everyone on canvas within under 40 crowd which character would you all say appeals all of you the most and catches your attention if anything. I root for Hope. Sometimes Thomas catches my attention personally.

2-1

 

That confrontation between Carter and Paris's mom...WOW. CC was giving it!!! And I loved every moment of it. But I also loved that Carter was gathering by throwing the fact that Zoe lost him in the first place when she was stringing him along when she wanted to be with Zende. And then Paris's mom blackmailed him? How Dominique of her.

I really hope this all backfires on her somehow…I honestly don’t care if Ridge gets back with Taylor but Brooke has every right to get even with Steffy after this. 
 

im almost wondering since JMW is pregnant and is probably due for maternity leave soon, if Finn (who’s been strangely  absent for all of this)  is gonna get angry with Steffy for interfering in Ridge and Brookes marriage, and Steffy is gonna turn to either Liam (or even better Bill) and get pregnant yet again…with Brooke (or Hope) exposing her affair as revenge this time by May sweeps. I can see that being Thudleys next big “shocker” especially if he’s so adamant to keep up the “Forrester vs Logan” B.S

And a lightbulb goes off in Thudley’s head

I was wondering how JMW would leave out before her maternity leave this time lol. I figured something happens between Steffy and Finn but I was thinking of Finn sleeping with Taylor in response to Steffy’s behavior. That way Brooke could be “see Taylor slept with her daughter’s husband too!!”

Haha, I can be his PR person for all you know!! 

It could go either way, but if Thudley is that determined to make Brooke and Hope the "villains" in all this, I can see him having Steffy walk in on Hope and Finn simply hugging this time, and deciding she can't "take losing to a LOGANNNN yet again..." and decides to leave town for a few months....Giving Thudley enough time to resurrect another forgotten story arc and have Sheila scheme to bring Hope and Finn together...

LMAO. 
 

The sad thing is the drama would have been juicier and the stakes higher if Steffy found out from Douglas first and then a conflicted Steffy was the one who helped Brooke hide the truth because she sympathizes with Brooke while Hope is the one who finds it repulsive. Or Brooke actually opening up together in therapy with Taylor and the two joining up together secretly to prove Brooke may have been setup while Taylor realizes she is over Ridge. 
 

Sheila’s next story? Finn sees Sheila visiting a mysterious teenage girl. After catching multiple visits, Finn finally barges in and learns the girl is his niece Lucy Romalotti. Lucy wants to her Grandma Sheila back to her hometown of Genoa City. Finn encourages a reluctant Sheila to go. When Sheila arrives, she finds out Kevin & Chloe have thrown her a homecoming party at Society! Sheila learns directly from Lauren herself that all of GC has heard she is trying reform and they are willing to give her a chance to start over. Ashland & Adam jointly offer Sheila a job at Newman-Locke while Sharon agrees to be Sheila’s therapist. Phyllis also asks Sheila to help out at the Grand Phoenix since Sheila comes with excellent hosting references from LA. Trouble brews one day when Lucy seems to be obsessing over Moses to steal him away from Faith, but Grandma Sheila and Grandma Phyllis save the day by telling Lucy that obsessing over a guy is unhealthy and to stealing a man is bad karma. Lucy agrees and understands. Phyllis, Sheila and Lucy all  hug over cheesecake at Crimson Lights.

Well, Taylor's fling with Rick was when Phoebe was pursuing him so while it is not nearly as far as "daughter's husband", this is yet another episode the show is pretending never happened now that we are back to Taylor being 90s Saint Taylor (which I am fine with until I hear any of the Logan-haters).

So far they have been writing all this with a degree of cleverness I wasn't expecting so even if the momentum has dulled a bit, I am going to keep faith they are going to keep it interesting and that ya'll are right that Steffy's push is not just a convenient but irritating plot device to push Taylor/Ridge and instead the set-up for something more twisty.

We shall see.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
