Ha!

I agree. As a Shick fan, even I saw the heat between him and Sharon before Phick happened just because he has presence. 

1-18

 

Hold up! What do you mean HT only brought crying and whining? Every time Sheila tried to interject something...especially that moment Katie verbally lashed at her with the half body turn...the anger leaped right on out of her. The fire. That fire that reminds me of how much I loved her as THE Victoria Newman. I agree with @dragonflies that HT gave a masterclass. There were the main emotions, but she shifted oh so well without it at all looking or feeling jarring at all...right up until she walked out that door. I mean...the mama bear 'You ARE NOT getting around my son' heat she had in that line reading?  

 

KB had her moments against HT, but I agree she has been a bit one note the last few episodes. When the Bill/Sheila scenes started last week, I felt she had more nuances to them, making one question if she loved Bill or what Bill can do for her. Was this a new scheme? Or was she really in love with him? Was that guilt on her face when he asked her if she really loved him? She played that well last week because I was not even sure if she really is in love with him either. But this week...yeah...one note.

 

I was VERY HAPPY to see Li today. COME GET YOUR MAN!!! lol. Okay, I'm joking. But I do hope she and Sheila have that Round 2. 

 

And Finn/Steffy in afterglow mode (or just Finn's chest) is always fun to see. 

 

That said...today was a solid episode, but it did feel like they are starting to lose the momentum.

If I recall reading right, he basically played the pool boy/gigolo type in his very first role as Carlo Forenza on Days. So at least that "type" seems to be in his wheelhouse.

I read his character was involved with Gloria Loring's Liz Chandler.

(Reading this, there seems to be a LOT of actor overlap between Days and Y&R as much as there is with Y&R/B&B.)

Same.

 

I think the closest she has been like this on this show has been both of the Bill/Brooke reveals and when she had taken over Bill's company. I could be wrong though. 

 

But lord, she was awesome. I actually believed THIS Katie could take on Sheila.

Any remember the scripts B&B used when everyone found out that Eric was with Quinn. Eh, no need to recall, they've been on our screen the past 2 weeks. They even worked in *toxic* instead of *dangerous*

Oh, can we talk about Li and Taylor both walking right in Finn/Steffy's house without knocking?

If they're so afraid of Sheila, wouldn't they: 1) lock the doors; 2) hire private security; 3) move into the Forrester Mansion, etc. It's things like this that makes some of the *fear* so laughable.  On top of the fact, that if Sheila wanted to harm anyone, she would've done it during the months when everyone, except Brooke, believed she was dead.

    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
