Haha! Sounds like I need to catch up indeed.

 I was tempted to catch up yesterday, but forgot I had an episode of 1923 to watch and it was so good that I ended up watching it twice. After that, I was tuckered out after doing cardios. A potential lesbain storyline for Brooke and Taylor? Well, it's not like Taylor hasn't Taylor seen Brooke in lingerie. I think I want to see Bill/Shelia. Shelia used to be crafty and diabolical. All Bill has is a necklace. I don't know the powers that unleash out of the necklace yet, but I'm willing to be patient for it. Maybe the necklace can talk to Bill as Shelia's toe can talk to her, ya know? No, wait. How can a cross and a toe possibly talk to these two people? Maybe they can place Shelia's toe on top of the cross and then wrap it around wih some sewing thread and boy scout knot that sucker on. I can't of any powers though, although I will be dissapointed if the only diabolical plan that the cross and toe have in mind for Bill and Shelia is to use the phone app that alters people's voices.

B&B has a funny way of having characters conveniently turn to the dark side to further along a plot. But at what cost? If Thomas is ever trusted again, they'll all look like fools (and he will be trusted again eventually, after saving one of Hope/Steffy's kids from drowning or something random and heroic like that). And what became of Justin? 

Just make Bill demon-possessed. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

I get mindless entertainment, but I just cannot suspend disbelief enough to enjoy B&B. Ironically, the show would work better for me if it were even stupider and had less talented, committed actors. Watching the likes of Matthew Atkinson and JMW sell this stuff on a regular basis feels so frustrating and demeaning creatively. Hopefully they are compensated well and have solid 401(k)s.

It was obvious they had to figure out a way to keep Sheila after the ratings boost she gave them, but why play it off screen? It’s not like she or Bill were doing anything important enough that they couldn’t show us. 
 

The biggest problem though is that Brad doesn’t get Sheila’s importance and he’ll write her into a corner the moment he needs another buzz moment. I still can’t believe he had her shoot Steffy and Finn after working so hard to redeem her. Such a waste.

That may have been the wrong choice of words, but they’d gotten rid of the baggage of her Y&R stints and based off her previous B&B return, she was in good shape to stick around long term had they not had her going around shooting people. She could still scheme and cause trouble, but to immediately jump into a plot like that was short sighted.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

      DAYS: Current&Former actors live video tribute for Drake Hogestyn

      By Wendy · Posted

      Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.

      When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist.

      Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.

      Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.
