I'm just baffled at the lack of what's the word for it? I guess when it comes to storytelling, I miss the good ol' days of soaps. With this Eric, Donna, and Quinn stuff, I'm not getting any falling action or resolution to the actual story. Or, was there a story besides a container of honey?

The "better family"?? What? LOL  Comments like that is very stan wars-y.  Taylor just tried to be friends with Sheila.   "Celebrate infidelity" - like Eric cheating on Quinn, who was cheating on him.  The countless times Ridge cheated. I'm sure Steffy cheated before too.  Thomas had his psycho phase.  No family is "better" than the other.  And what's with the constant name calling/bashing of the Logans in every single post?  It's another stan wars-y thing, so please try to reign it in a little.  I'm not saying you can't criticize certain characters, just try to be less stan wars-y.  I didn't like the Taylor vs Brooke or Forresters vs Logan back-and-forth here a couple weeks back.  SON is stan wars free zone.

Sheila literally cut her toe off to fake her death and yet she's hanging around Deacon?  Why? What does she need him for?  Did I miss something?

LOL! Perhaps she's sexually frustrated. I think a fellow poster questioned her financial resources and so far, she has mentioned that she has a lot of money to help Deacon financially, but I don't get it either. Hell, we just saw Hope barge in there unannounced. So, I think it's time that a lightbulb finally flicker inside their brains and realize to start locking the front door at all times. 

I don't know the name of the restaurant where Deacon works at, but the management needs to step up their game. If Ridge wants to get all Barney bad ass, then he can do at the privacy of his own home or at Deacon's while Shelia sits on the toilet taking a big ol' poot.

If I were customer at that establishment, I sure wouldn't want to hear some blathering lunatic flap his mouth while I'm trying to enjoy my fish tacos. That's just plain harrassment right there.

Steffy cheated before too??  LOLL.  She jumped in bed with Why-not ASAP because Liam didn't return a text. I remember that much about the pre-Adam and Eve thing/bump on the head accident/oops I'm actually off to Australia to see Ivy home in the plane bathroom.

You’re the one who brought up the Logan’s infidelity. LOL  I’m just saying one family isn’t “better” than the other.  They’ve all done crappy things.  To say one is better than the other is absolutely ludicrous.

I know I'm the drolling down trodden drum because of my negativity but - I've said, Sheila can never be killed off, so there's no interest for me there.  They've made it so they can never be without her - they need a character to dumb everyone down, and that's what they do every time.  To me at least, she literally looked like they do with Clark Kent and Super girl too....they put on a pair of glasses on and no one knows who they are. 

Although I was tired of Quinn, and I don't really watch often, Rena kind of deserved more than that if she's gone.  I'll have to look up today's episode and see what they did at least on that front.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
