Hope playing Thomas leads to another faux compromising scene that Liam the Genius misinterprets, which results in the scandal that's *destined* to happen.

Hope: I did it for Douglas!

Liam: I'm *related* to Douglas, you're not. Your obsession with my nephew is really about your repressed feelings for Thomas. Getting our daughter back and marrying me should've been more than enough. Ask yourself, why it isn't? Bye!

I just knew that either Thomas or Steffy was using that app of Douglas’, Douglas is just too young to have the language and wherewithal to be responsible for the report to CPS. This doesn’t bode well for Thomas, the recidivist schemer. I hate that this will give holier than thou Liam ammo, although he may not have a leg to stand on if he and Brooke end up doing the unthinkable.

I watched last night and wooow... I never thought the show could look cheaper... but they outdid themselves. The bizarre way it was shot... Brooke's talk with Ridge... it looked like a bad parody of the 90s. Like a school project.

What a dumb story. It would have been much better if Thomas made the bogus call, and then when CPS pulled Douglas to the side he told them about all the things Thomas did during the baby Beth story and then Thomas finally got comeuppance for how he abused his son. I found it preposterous that CPS questioned Douglas right in front of Thomas and Ridge.

Exactly. So what's the point? To trick his father to return to Taylor? As if Ridge/Brooke don't implode regularly. I simply don't get the rationale of damaging Thomas - a character that few in the audience even care about.

I suppose it'll give Brooke someone to blame when she opens her heart to $B or Liam. B&B is always shaky when it comes to storytelling, but this is really bad.

    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.

    • This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.

      New episode from late 1973 or early 1974!
    • Coronation Street had a very good story where one of the characters befriended a man who she later learned had been involved in her husband's death - when told right it can be very powerful (not like AMC trying to make it a romance). ATWT almost had a big fire in mid-1994, so this seemed to be a "thing" with P&G at the time. I guess it fits the disaster backstage atmosphere.
    •   @jmgaw did not refer to Luke and Laura. Throughout 78 GH's ratings continued to rise as AW's fell. That turnaround was getting a lot of attention in the soap press with Scotty/Laura, Rick/Leslie/Monica etc . So the 90 min decision was a reaction to that. I guess the thinking was that 60 min expansion had worked so starting AW a half hour before might keep viewers from switching to GH at 3pm. I don't think anybody really thought it would work. The most sensible solution would have been to expand The Doctors and hope for a GH like turnaround, but for reasons unknown TD never went to an hour.    
    • Like I said competing organization But this is not what I want to happen.
    • Hotel no doubt benefited from the Dynasty lead in and didn't move until it was jettisoned to Sat night wasteland to play out a final season. Maybe it should have been moved earlier to perhaps bolster another night and allow ABC to nurture another show in the post Dynasty timeslot when the former was still a ratings winner.  
    • Who is going to say, "I'm headed home to watch The Chew?!?!" One of the most ridiculous names ever. I didn't watch AMC or keep up with it towards the end, but OLTL still had life in it and could have gone on. OLTL 2.0 was entertaining and worked because RC was not involved. A real shame that did not work because I think the show could have gone in good directions. 
    • Another episode with Chandler uploaded.
