You haven't missed an episode. B&B did not air Thurs 11/23 or Fri 11/24.

I don't think anyone said this was a Friday cliffhanger.  Maybe there was a sense conveyed that this *feels like* the spirit of a classic weekend cliffhanger? 

I think it was simply "we have to wait until the end of the weekend to find out what happens next".  This was  WEDNESDAY cliffhanger causing  a four-day-weekend cliffhanger!  

That's what made it exciting -- the wedding starting with the bride entrance at the end of Wednesday's episode.  We viewers are all wondering, will any character interrupt or not, and we have to wait until Monday to find out.

Oh. I swear I'm not an airhead. Well, maybe depending on the pop culture. I saw a screenshot of Krista Allen and then I got really confused after that.

LOL! Now you're confusing me. Okay, I'm just gonna have to roll with it, lol! I think the reason why for my confusion was because of that screenshot. I read the quote, but somehow, it wasn't registering to me that it was Ridge asking Taylor that. If it were a screenshot of Ridge instead of Taylor, I wouldn't have been confused. I'll provide an example:

Today’s episode was classic soap. You build up a secret for months and it comes out at a wedding.  You even drag out the secret through multiple commercial segments. LOL  The music and directing was also on point with the slow zooms and quick cuts of people’s faces.

Again, why are these thirty-something year old kids trying to play The Parent Trap with their parents? It's old at this point. You mean to tell me that Steffy, with that fine a** husband, is worried about her parents reuniting? Or even Thomas? Thomas should literally be what Ridge used to be at the inception of the show--a male wh*re bedding every woman with a pulse. 

And Taylor (along with Brooke) stays on the hamster wheel or yearning for Ridge. I really wish that they'd make these 50-year-old give Ridge their a**es to kiss and move along. Let him be lonely at this point.

    • 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.
    • Do we believe that Jabot is at the level of Estee Lauder?? I am on board with Jabot deciding to expand but the way it was handled was ridiculous. Jabot just decided and bingo, that was that. Not months of negotiations and decisions about how it would fit into the Jabot portfolio. And then no follow through. Josh thinks he's serving business stories by characters sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers and job switching. Now we have Audra setting up her own company -Vibrator or something. Well, why not? You don't need staff, office space or even products.
