Really, Sheila???

 

But...I didn't see Taylor and Sheila bonding over death coming. 

 

And Brooke! I had wondered when she would show up during all of this.

 

I do like that the suspense has been building throughout.

 

Still hoping for a fakeout. Perhaps Bridget knows something we don't.

I still think the better story would've been Steffy partnering with Sheila to crush Brooke in order to 'guarantee' Taylor's happiness with Ridge - like pushing Deacon to reunite with Brooke, etc. Yeah, it's way too logical  and there real motivation - Steffy wants her parents back together and Sheila actually cares about Taylor.

When JMW returned, they could've revealed it, which would've had some real drama that would involve most of the canvas - Finn, Hope, Eric, Quinn, Thomas, Liam, etc. At that point, would Ridge have fallen completely back in love with Taylor? Maybe Brooke's feelings for Deacon got deeper, but Sheila actually wants Deacon, etc.

SHUT UP, RIDGE!!!


Well, I like that the writers remember that Sheila is a nurse, but surprised they are going the 'Steffy woke up and Steffy has amnesia' route with JMS going on ML. Or is this what she will do...be in bed until that is over.

 

I did like that Thomas had enough brain to ask Sheila point blank if she shot Steffy.

 

So first Brooke pops up after being MIA for a week. And now we have Paris and Zende (nice braids, Paris!

I thought it was a good week. Way to keep the momentum going. Or if not the momentum, just the suspence. So...well done. Though I don't know where Sheila can even go from here. At least, the writers are trying something with her and Taylor bonding over death. But...that is just stalling. So...what's next?

I'm down with that. LOL 

Randomly picking up Carter/Quinn and Carter/Paris/Zende after weeks on the backburner is so.... Days of Our Lives (Ron Carlivati's version). But they definitely need to beef up their "B" stories so I give them credit for that. The Carter/Quinn tale is where they need to go.  

They've thrown their plate of spaghetti known as Paris at so many walls hoping something will stick, and it's just not. Carter, Zende, Finn, Thomas. Next, they'll bring back Maya and give them a chem test. 

Side note: So Bridget has been in L.A. this whole time, they just don't show her? And now she pops up in the hospital as a glorified dayplayer. Wow.

    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
    • Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==        
    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.
