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.

    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL).
