That kid is smarter than His Dad!!! I just hope they turn him into a Damien

I think Brooke would be wise to dump the Forresters at once! It's The Second Time in Less Than a Year Thomas is Doing His Schemes And Ridge just Dumps Brooke without thinking twice, Bill isn't a great Alternative either, I think they should send Brooke to Slut Around Europe for A While! 

Incidentally I saw some footage of KKL's Visit To Greece from a Few Years Ago Recently, I think they should consider doing a Storyline There

I disagree that Thomas is ruined. 

I appreciate that the character is always an antagonist without ever committing a fatal criminal offense.  Sheila, and other B&B villains, have caused heinous destruction that takes unbelievable efforts to write her out of the perpetual corner that she's stuck into.    But, Thomas has always had undiagnosed mental health issues which cause him to make poor choices and his punishment is that he's never been able to enjoy a mutual romantic relationship (nor the respect of his family or any success in business).  He is one of the most consistent personas, despite all of the recastings.

I don't post spoilers for upcoming episodes in this nonspoiler thread.

But I will comment now, that the official spoiler/description from the show regarding a recent episode that already aired, refer to Thomas's actions as "evil". 


This was in the cable guide, and also tweeted from the show:

Thomas doubles down on his evil manipulation of Brooke and Ridge.

So - I disagree with a lot about Thomas - not a regular watcher and likely never will be again but - how many brain tumors and mental issues are ya gonna toss around? Sex with mannequins? Jeffrey Daumer the dude? It’s just a lot and - don’t care because he like Sheila will never end. It’s a yawner.  
 

And shall we go over the real requirements for an annulment? It’s an every other day event on this show. An annulment is actually more difficult than a divorce - and I know it’s lovely to suspend all reality but it’s just ridiculous at this point.  Which one of them has an undisclosed STD? A formerly illegal divorce?  Bigamy? Brooke and Ridge are actually brother and sister?  Fraud - you tricked each other into marriage? These are the typical easier reasons for the quicky annulments.  So. It’s great to be fun and stuff but - it gets into beyond stupid. Sigh.

I still haven’t gotten over how Douglas was conceived, as that trashed the character of Thomas for me, as the show acts like it never happened or that the behavior was okay but dubious consent is still wrong, and when it happened B&B did not understand why people were upset.  If the public knew what he did he would be cancelled and the media would attack the brand especially since Hope for the Future is supposed to be a womenswear brand about real issues. At least that may be interesting unlike Thomas using Douglas.

 

at the end of the day, I just wish that Thomas and Steffy would realize that Taylor deserves better than their father and find Taylor her own Finn, as it was such a relief to have Steffy finally find someone who puts her first. I want Ridge alone, and not with Brooke either…

    • 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.)?
    • 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.
