I thought it was a lot of fun and didn’t take itself too seriously in a way I’m not used to from B&B. The Bell soaps seem to avoid the silliness we’re accustomed to from the ABC and NBC soaps. The special opening titles were a great touch, and I got a kick out of the chocolate toes.

TB is aging very well (btw, when she was on the show, the opening photo of her in the gunmetal dress was always my favorite.)

If they were going to do a wash, rinse, repeat like they do with everything else, I'd actually tune in for Lauren.  I saw the Halloween episode and have to say - it was far better than anything they've done in several years.  I didn't watch B&B regularly when Lauren did her crossover, and it's weird to think....really Sheila has had more history now by far on B&B than on Y&R.  But we still for some reason think of Sheila and Lauren on Y&R.  It's battle that - if we're going to rehash the past - is a far better gamble than anything they've done lately.  (YAWN: CRAZY Thomas, Liam/Hope/Steffy, Brooke/Ridge/Taylor, whose picture will be over the mantle at the Forrester mansion).....they'd be smart to have a lengthy story of Lauren getting revenge secretly behind Sheila's back.  I'd tune in to see that.  Have a group conspiracy to ferret out Sheila - with one big queen-pin in the background left for surprise - Quinn.  Carefully planned over months and months and months and give viewers a PAYOFF.

10-28

 

Well I'm glad I went back and rewatched 10-26. How did I miss Thomas running around in his undies. LOL!!! Just a whole snack. lol.

 

That said...it was creepy to see the return of the manniquin. If that isn't a sign...

 

I liked that they had Sheila voicing her fears about Deacon running off after Brooke. Even she worries. I liked we played that beat. Because he would. In fact, he did. 

 

I came across the November Sweeps issue from last year and find it funny that back then they were setting up Carter and Katie and it took a WHOLE YEAR for them to get back to it. And I'm not sure how I feel about it honestly. 

 

Shut up, Brooke. lol.

THIS.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Vee · Posted

      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!

      Falcon Crest

      By te. · Posted

      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.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      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.)?

      Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.

      Those Soap Central profiles have a lot of incorrect info. According to SOD summaries and the Daytime Newsletter of the time,Tim left town for a new job and Pam reunited with the father of her baby and also departed Springfield.They did not marry.
