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.

Prior to the finale, the last Dallas episode to finish ahead of a new episode of The Cosby Show was February 22, 1985 (Shattered Dreams).
    • 40 years ago this month, the best and most pivotal television season of the 1980s came to an end. Here’s how the rookie breakout and the four soaps wrapped up the season. The Cosby Show – Cliff’s Birthday (season 1 finale, May 9): Clair and the children surprise Cliff by planning a birthday celebration around a Lena Horne concert. Dallas – Deliverance (May 10): Bobby seeks evidence to free Jenna. The Ewings go confidently to court. Mitch asks Lucy to move in. J.R. wants Sue Ellen hospitalized. Dynasty - The Heiress (May 8): Krystle learns Daniel is dead. King Galen courts Alexis. Amanda sees Michael with Elena. Sammy Jo learns Krystle will handle her money and is furious about the decision. Knots Landing – One Day in a Row (May 9): Ben aids in Karen's search for Val's babies. Mack replies to the governor's offer. Ruth uses Abby to break up Laura and Greg. Falcon Crest – Cold Comfort (May 10): Fugitive Lance desperately searches for Lorraine, who lies comatose in a San Francisco hospital. Robin returns with startling news.   Dallas – Swan Song (season 8 finale, May 17): Jenna's release from jail depresses Pam. Sue Ellen thinks she saw Dusty. Donna tells Ray about her pregnancy. Cliff consults an attorney about an annulment. Lucy and Mitch remarry. Sudden tragedy strikes Bobby. Dynasty – Royal Wedding (season 5 finale, May 15): Sammy Jo makes her roommate look like Krystle. Elena reassures Amanda about her upcoming marriage. Terrorists come for the royal wedding of Prince Michael and Amanda. Falcon Crest – Confessions (May 17): Melissa confesses to framing Lance. Pamela gives Maggie proof that Richard bribed Judge Holder. Connie reveals her love for Chase. Knots Landing – Vulnerable (May 16): Ruth wants Abby to break up Greg and Laura. Karen makes a breakthrough in her hunt for Val's babies. Joshua hampers Val's recovery. Knots Landing – The Long and Winding Road (season 6 finale, May 23): Abby fears being linked to the disappearance of Val's babies. Laura leaves Greg. The Fishers are determined to keep Val's babies. Falcon Crest – The Avenging Angel (season 4 finale, May 24): Lorraine dies. Angela throws a victory party. Cassandra's mother arrives. An explosion rips through Richard's house. 1984/85 was the season the primetime soaps pulled out all the stops to out-do each other and everything culminated in the spring. May 1985 was the zenith of primetime soaps as a genre.

    • Charles Grant first appeared as Evan in September 1988. I was surprised to come across this item from December 1985, almost 3 years earlier: "Lots of action behind the scenes at Another World . . . I have bad news for fans of Christopher Holder (Peter Love). He will be leaving the show in the new year. I have heard that the producers are recasting the part and are also seeing actors for new roles. One of the main characters this spring will be Marlee [sic] and Victoria's father. The producers have been talking to Charles Flohe (John "Preacher" Emerson, Edge Of Night) about another new character to be featured. I will fill you in on the results as soon as I know." It seems obviously too early for anyone to have been planning to introduce Evan Frame. Based on the context he's not being considered as a recast of Peter. Maybe they were considering him for the character that turned out to be Neal, who started around the same time as Marcus Smythe as Peter?

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun! Just looking back at this thread, the recent end of & I have to admit I am surprised that several of you give it such high marks. Now, literally all I know about the modern reboot I learned from Slezak in Linda Dano's podcast & I must tell you I got a very different impression from what she said. If you are interested, those podcast episodes are still up even though Dano is not making any new ones. My impression from what she said was that they had no idea what they were doing & it was no wonder that the project was an abject failure She & many others were owed a ton of money. At the end the mid-level staff came out & basically said, they didn't know what to do, that the people were not here & they guessed it was over. So, as you can imagine I was appalled.
