LI!!!!! FINALLY!!!

Please register in order to view this content


 

I was worried that she was just there to talk to Finn, so I was soooooooooooo happy to see she mixed it up with Sheila!!! Can we keep this rivalry going and plllllease give us a Round 2? 

 

I thought it was good that they are continuing to keep Katie in Bill's orbit for that Carter/Katie/Bill mess. But with Sheila as a loose cannon around...it could dangerous for Katie, but I wouldn't mind seeing HT give a show.

 

It goes without saying that Finn has been looking good.

 

Also surprising...JMW and DD STILL got chemistry. lol. It was so funny watching Steffy trying to get through to Bill and thinking of their history. But JMW has been awesome to watch since the Bill/Sheila reveal.

Okay, so I need to stop binge-watching B&B whenever I need to get caught up as I end up irritated. It could help me if I only watched Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I don't know. For me, I end up flustered because the characters say the same damn dialogue over, and over, and over. Yes, I've said this before with Deacon. I mean, how many times did we have to hear Deacon tell Shelia that she was going to get caught? It's like shut up already, dude. We heard ya, man. Loud and clear. We got it the first time and we comprehend the English language. We get it. But no ... the writers just feel the need that it bears repeating. Is there anyone here that didn't understand what Deacon meant? 

So now, I'm usually talking to the television screen like an idiot. You know, as if I'm actually having a conversation with the actual characters, lol! Yeah, I'm saying things like: "Yes, Steffy! You just SAID that!", "Yes, Li! You just SAID that!", "Yes, Bill! You just SAID that!", or "Awww ... new girlfriend visit. How sweet. Let me guess. Taylor and Brooke are going to talk about Shelia." 

Ding, ding, ding! BINGO! 

Yeah, I think watching Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays might suffice. Then again, I'm not sure. Maybe I show watch one episode per day with a 24-hour break in-between. Look, I'm DONE with the same dialogue.

Ok, did we really need a montage of Mike and Sheila though?

I love how they always include the scene when Sheila lets the dog loose on him, but always leave out the next scene when Mike and the dog became friends and he trained it to attack Sheila.

Unless they bring Diana, this should fizzle in two months. Will they go with Bill/Sheila/Deacon triangle?

In the meantime, I fully expect some entertaining Sheila/Bill scenes with Brooke, Taylor, etc. but that can only go so far. If Brad really put some effort, Sheila attempting to reconnect with Finn would be interesting.

Of course, this new freedom allows Sheila to show up in Genoa City for Y&R's 50th Anniversary. There's no way that Sheila/Lauren can be omitted from this season.

B&B writers seem to not even have the knowledge of the law that a single episode of Law & Order SVU would provide and it's driving me nuts.  Why would a judge, rather than the DA, be deciding if there is enough evidence to prosecute Sheila?  That's not how the system works.

And, if that logic is too much, let's deal with why would the judge let Ridge use his office to make a phone call - doesn't anyone in faux-LA own a cell phone?

OK, maybe that's too persnickety - so, then let's ask why would Steffy & Finn state their refusal to testify without speaking to Taylor first?  Shouldn't she help them make that decision?

All of these illogical choices have got me more focused on the order of events than the story.

Well Brad did say that he will be bringing on characters from legacy families so maybe Diana or Mary will pop up sometime soon. Then again this is the same Bradley Bell who said last year that Thomas will get a love interest but didn't.

Exactly! I'm like is she drugging Bill like Sheila did Stephanie all those years ago? It feels like Brad pulled this twist out of his ass because he knows Sheila still being on canvas without much happening doesn't make sense.

    • I mean...if I had to pick...this event so far definitely does not have enough extras vs Nicole's award event where I felt THAT had the right amount. This one...yeah...tear the lack of extras apart! lol.

        Kim was cast before Don Stewart left GL.
    • Another I wonder about if they thought Joe Gallison would have more of an impact after his AW success. Was Agnes still involved with OLTL then?
    • I thought I was the only one. They do nothing for me. I enjoy Dani which seems to be an unpopular opinion here, but Andre to me is as unnecessary as Ashley and Derek. Not only should Vanessa, Nicole's bestie, and her husband have been there but where are Naomi and her man?   
    • I think Vanessa not being there was a matter of choices in who to have there without overloading the interactions. Nicole is going to have to interact with her kids, parents, sister and of course have it out with Ted. Any interaction with Vanessa will have to be after the whole mess goes down.
    • Right--I did think of that, as it was around the same few years.  Accents I guess...
    • It is an insult. To the viewer's intelligence. Everything in this show in the past 4 years has been horribly conceived, produced like a cheap tik-tok video, without any build up or psychological reasoning, and then re-written to level 0 in couple of weeks (where everything is ABSOLUTELY the same as it was before it happened). People get gravely sick and then recover in 5 episodes, because of miracle cures. People get killed and un-killed in the most cartoonish Scooby-Doo scenarios, people get pardoned after killing 2 innocent victims, people become and unbecome CEOs with the snap of a finger. But when you look around in a month or two or three... it's like absolutely nothing has happened. Nobody has grown... or evolved... or changed. We still have Steffy talking to Ridge how Hope and her mother are not worthy. We still have Brooke crying about something that Ridge said. We still have Hope at the same emotional limbo she's been put in ever since Brad decided she needs a re-vamp and made her a ho. EVERYTHING IS THE SAME. Only the Taylors change every few seasons and become increasingly younger. The problem I have with Liam's storyline is the problem I have with every storyline - why should I care if he is dying or sick with cancer when I haven't seen him in 2 years?!! Why go from 0 to a 100 like that. The same way with Sheila... who was backburned for months... before getting fake-killed for ratings. Why would we care about that... when Sheila was a non-entity before that.  Or why should I care for Brooke... when she's been ABSOLUTELY NOTHING of a character for years... to now all of a sudden re-birthed into a lingerie queen and CEO?   Back in the day, we... the viewers of this horrible show... cared and loved to see characters struggle from point A to point B. We wanted to see the build up, the makings of something. Not get a finished result that is undone after a week or two. When Brooke became CEO in 1993... we cheered because it mattered and because she gave HER ALL to get to that point. It was a revenge after years and years of abuse, being slapped around like a homeless dog by Stephanie. She plotted and calculated her every move. But she was also raw and hurt. She was both opportunist and a heroine. She had dept and dimensions. THAT WAS A CHARACTER. That was a human being.   My diagnosis is that at this point Bradley Bell doesn't care. Bold is living off of past history, fans being loyal, the show being 18 minutes of crap that people watch to laugh at. He sees the ratings are still okay and even improving and he DOES NOT GIVE A S-IT. He is even more motivated to continue with the current style of trash. It will only get worse from this day on.  He is way pass the period where he wanted to tell stories or impress the viewers with anything. (Not that he was particularly good about that anyways) I would not even be surprised if he is writing this drivel on complete auto-pilot at this point. Maybe he asks Chat GPT what to write each week. That's how it feels. IF IT'S THE OPPOSITE... and he is trying and that's the BEST HE CAN DO?!!! Then we are really f-cked.  Even Bradley Bell was NOT THAT HORRIBLE guys. But times change and people age... and that's all I'm going to say.   
    • -- Really good episode today, with a lot more happening than I expected. -- SilkPress is great, but I don't see the need to criticize Dani/KM when supporting Leslie. -- That being said, I don't like Dani with Andre. I think they should end that as soon as possible. -- Very lame that Vanessa and Doug weren't there. If they want to impress on us that Vanessa is Nicole's best friend, they need to do better. -- Brandon Claybon continues to improve as Martin, and his relationship with Smitty finally feels real. -- Dr. Carlton is, as others have posted, fine as fck. We need more.
    • As much as I have hyped the looks on this show, those dresses did not impress today. Since the premeire, there's only been one look that I can truly say IMO didn't work (and it honestly wasn't even that bad). It was an outfit Dani wore. These flowly wide leg trousers and it was paired with a loose top with a cowl neck. However, I didn't LOVE a single dress on any of the ladies today. Kat's was great only because it suits the character and her personality - so an A for that. It's a good dress. Dana's was also really nice. Everyone else either just was meh, had something unflattering about the fit, or didn't really fit the vibe.  Also, this isn't BTG's fault. It's just the state of soap operas today, but that event felt empty. Tables of 3

      I mean it was nice that they had some extras on there, but it definitely didn't feel like an event when the family was pretty much ever table there.  That was a nice end to the episode and I wonder how this is going to unfold.
