Yeah, I take spoilers now worth a grain of salt nowadays - especially Soap She Knows. Oh, soaps she knows she bettah don't! Mmm-hmm. Wasn't there like an Instagram spoiler a while back when Kimberlin Brown replied to a fan when he asked if she was leaving the show and Kimberlin Brown replied that she was? I can't remember the exact date, but it was definitely around the time when Soap She Knows (Oh, soaps she knows she bettah don't!) reported Tanner Novlan was exiting the show? Remember that?

Seriously, even the SOD spoilers are so thirsty, but nothing compares to the bullsh*t Twitter spoilers posted by stan fans or whatever the eff you call them. Are they posting untrue spoilers for sh*ts and giggles? Are they fascinated by the statistical analysis of how many engagements they receive? Will it forever be written on their tombstone when they depart this Earth? Whatever, get a life. Then again, if it gives them orgasms, then I would consider that to be important. So, I'm trying not to talk bad smack.

Oh, geez. Hahaha! Well, this whole Bill and Shelia situation just popped up like some big pus pimple boil to the point where Dr. Pimple Popper can't do anything about it. Seriously, it just came out of nowhere. So now, Shelia has three men--Mike, Deacon, and Bill. If I were Shelia, i wouldn't know what to do. I mean, she no longer has to wear her rubber doll mask thankfully, but my goodness. Now this means I'm going to have to hear how Shelia Carter is a free woman for the next two weeks. Damn it.

But, I do like the mysterious tense background music they play for the Shelia/Bill scenes. If I was around a piano or a clarinet, I could probably play it. It reminds of Mr. Miyagi and the Karate Kid. Like they have their swords out in slow motion as the sun sets into the crimson sunset.

This will be the first time since she was married to Eric that Sheila will really be in a position of power in LA. That COULD be interesting if they play it right. Was all of her talk of reform BS or will she behave for a little while? Of course it was BS, but curious to see how far she'll go. It would be fun to have Bill take her to the fancy parties, if they ever have them again, in open-toed shoes of course.

Awwww I hate to admit it, but I like Brooke and Taylor as friends and them trying on dresses was cute. It would be so good if the show WOULD let them branch out from Ridge and find new lives, stories, and men...if needed. I know, I know...probably not, but a nice little 3 month arc would be nice. 

 

I giggled at Steffy being blackmailed but STILL had to read Sheila. hehe. 

 

I might hate the blackmail, but I feel like they are not rushing it or going too slow with this story. It's nicely paced.

Power is good, but this will defintely be a challenge for Shelia. Well, Mike's a loser, so whatever. Deacon's poor, but maybe he's good in bed. Bill, I guess is what people like to call a DILF nowadays, but he walks around like he's either suffering from constipation or anal leakage. Then again, maybe DD had a back accident of some sort that I'm unaware of as I did notice the real-life scar around the tramp stamp area.

Super interesting script choice today to have DD have only one line. HT had a ton of uninterrupted long dialogue and somehow makes it effortless.

@dragonflies Like Taylor's ridiculously long absences from the canvas, Karen should've been there - even in a limited capacity - after all the Thomas stuff. Yes, Liam is a blood relative, but I can't fathom Karen/Bill combo wouldn't go to court (*bribe a judge*) to get Douglas into his grandmother's care. It's absolutely illogical.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
