Seems like poor editing. There was a loud bump and Li screamed just before her car caught fire so maybe we are supposed to assume Sheila rammed her. With car accidents on soaps you should always expect something that doesn't make sense.

That would have made too much sense and you can't have that on a soap, lol. But at least Li got to beat Sheila down at least a little bit.

I love just reading the board.  Oh it's beyond suspending belief or disbelief with this show.  All of the comments - for the same reason on B&B there's actually no one in Los Angeles, traffic is never a problem, dark lonely roads at night with glowering looks over cliffsides (with no one there but the person staring into the abyss), cousin whoever from Australia who sees someone beating someone down with a TIYUH_ ION but doesn't just lay down on the horn to stop it, or drive right up to them and break it up easily - instead takes a VID-YO from her phone of it, and on and on and on and on.  Too funny.  Or people proclaiming what they're going to do in order to BLOW their lives up completely - RIGHT TO the said person who is known to be dangerous - instead of just going to the police with the information....or people who CONSTANTLY TEXT but then suddenly cannot figure out how to TEXT or must TELL THE PERSON IMMEDIATELY instead of texting (for no reason).....keep the list going.

I have been enjoying the show lately. I look forward to Finn reuniting with Steffy and their family. I did like seeing Li fight back against Sheila the other day. I hope Li is still alive and will show up at some point to help bring Shelia down. I did think it was kind of amusing how after Li knocked Shelia down, she went after her on the ground. Li wanted to get in some more licks lol. Shelia really has done a lot to her family, had an affair with her husband, had her unknowingly raising his biological child, shooting him and leaving him to die in cold blood, along with his wife/mother of his child. Li could have/should have been whooped Sheila's behind lol. 

Also, I'm not caring for this stuff with Paris/Carter though I do think that CC is good casting as Paris's mother. Carter is definitely using Paris and they don't have chemistry IMO. I really wish that the show would have just explored a romantic pairing with Paris/Thomas. Paris/Thomas had good chemistry and he genuinely wanted her unlike Carter. Carter is using her and it's not a good storyline.

I would have rather had seen her and Thomas together, (possibly starting out with a triangle with Zende.) Speaking of Zende while I was not a fan of them together, I do think she had more chemistry with him than she does Carter. Plus, I like Zende/Thomas's dynamic/relationship/friendly professional rivalry. It could have been interesting to see what happened if they had been in a triangle with Paris.

I liked today's show. I did lol at Grace calling Carter a hustler and at the way she's been reacting to his engagement to Paris. Carter is using Paris and Paris is acting very naive about the whole situation. Acting like there isn't anything strange about how quickly Carter proposed and how he wants to get married ASAP. (Tomorrow on the show). Plus she stated she wanted to invite Zende, and acting like she believes he will be cool with being at the wedding.

Speaking of Zende,  I have sympathy for him and him liking him more throughout this situation. I do think he may accept Paris's invitation, but I don't think he will be thrilled to be at the wedding. He hasn't been confrontational and has handled the situation with Carter/Paris in a mature way. But I wouldn't minded seeing him have more of a problem with things. I also liked that he was talking to Ridge the other day and referred to him as "Uncle." Nice to see that relationship/ familial ties showcased a little.  

This version of Ridge can be very overbearing though he made some good points about Carter and how he's handling things with Paris and his feelings for Quinn. Carter could try and date Paris more first, or have a longer courtship like Grace suggested. But he just wants to rush into things and it's making him look flaky and isn't the decision that a mature man like him should be making. Carter has often been a pretty level headed guy, but he hasn't been acting that way as much lately.

    • 40 years ago this month, the best and most pivotal television season of the 1980s came to an end. Here’s how the rookie breakout and the four soaps wrapped up the season. The Cosby Show – Cliff’s Birthday (season 1 finale, May 9): Clair and the children surprise Cliff by planning a birthday celebration around a Lena Horne concert. Dallas – Deliverance (May 10): Bobby seeks evidence to free Jenna. The Ewings go confidently to court. Mitch asks Lucy to move in. J.R. wants Sue Ellen hospitalized. Dynasty - The Heiress (May 8): Krystle learns Daniel is dead. King Galen courts Alexis. Amanda sees Michael with Elena. Sammy Jo learns Krystle will handle her money and is furious about the decision. Knots Landing – One Day in a Row (May 9): Ben aids in Karen's search for Val's babies. Mack replies to the governor's offer. Ruth uses Abby to break up Laura and Greg. Falcon Crest – Cold Comfort (May 10): Fugitive Lance desperately searches for Lorraine, who lies comatose in a San Francisco hospital. Robin returns with startling news.   Dallas – Swan Song (season 8 finale, May 17): Jenna's release from jail depresses Pam. Sue Ellen thinks she saw Dusty. Donna tells Ray about her pregnancy. Cliff consults an attorney about an annulment. Lucy and Mitch remarry. Sudden tragedy strikes Bobby. Dynasty – Royal Wedding (season 5 finale, May 15): Sammy Jo makes her roommate look like Krystle. Elena reassures Amanda about her upcoming marriage. Terrorists come for the royal wedding of Prince Michael and Amanda. Falcon Crest – Confessions (May 17): Melissa confesses to framing Lance. Pamela gives Maggie proof that Richard bribed Judge Holder. Connie reveals her love for Chase. Knots Landing – Vulnerable (May 16): Ruth wants Abby to break up Greg and Laura. Karen makes a breakthrough in her hunt for Val's babies. Joshua hampers Val's recovery. Knots Landing – The Long and Winding Road (season 6 finale, May 23): Abby fears being linked to the disappearance of Val's babies. Laura leaves Greg. The Fishers are determined to keep Val's babies. Falcon Crest – The Avenging Angel (season 4 finale, May 24): Lorraine dies. Angela throws a victory party. Cassandra's mother arrives. An explosion rips through Richard's house. 1984/85 was the season the primetime soaps pulled out all the stops to out-do each other and everything culminated in the spring. May 1985 was the zenith of primetime soaps as a genre.

    • Charles Grant first appeared as Evan in September 1988. I was surprised to come across this item from December 1985, almost 3 years earlier: "Lots of action behind the scenes at Another World . . . I have bad news for fans of Christopher Holder (Peter Love). He will be leaving the show in the new year. I have heard that the producers are recasting the part and are also seeing actors for new roles. One of the main characters this spring will be Marlee [sic] and Victoria's father. The producers have been talking to Charles Flohe (John "Preacher" Emerson, Edge Of Night) about another new character to be featured. I will fill you in on the results as soon as I know." It seems obviously too early for anyone to have been planning to introduce Evan Frame. Based on the context he's not being considered as a recast of Peter. Maybe they were considering him for the character that turned out to be Neal, who started around the same time as Marcus Smythe as Peter?

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun! Just looking back at this thread, the recent end of & I have to admit I am surprised that several of you give it such high marks. Now, literally all I know about the modern reboot I learned from Slezak in Linda Dano's podcast & I must tell you I got a very different impression from what she said. If you are interested, those podcast episodes are still up even though Dano is not making any new ones. My impression from what she said was that they had no idea what they were doing & it was no wonder that the project was an abject failure She & many others were owed a ton of money. At the end the mid-level staff came out & basically said, they didn't know what to do, that the people were not here & they guessed it was over. So, as you can imagine I was appalled. 
    • That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.
