I did laugh when Finn told Steffy that he locked the door where no one can interupt them and Steffy goes, "Awww ... you think of everything."

I mean, isn't that what you're supposed to do? I mean, this is Los Angeles - it's not rural America with skinned possums laying on the front porch next to a jug of moonshine.

Lastly, I don't know about you all, but me thinks that Shelia is going to do something detrimental to Katie's heart. If there's one thing I know about Shelia, she goes straight after one's weaknesses. And I LIVE for it.

Yep. She sure did. Hahaha! And here's the thing about the character of Katie. Do you remember the episode where Carter mentioned to Katie that's she's a strong woman and that she doesn't need a chivalrous knight to fight her battles for her or whatever? But, here's the thing: SHE DOES.

How many times have we seen her distraught where she clings on to Carter? Or, maybe Carter is wearing an invisible shirt that Katie only sees to where the shirt says: "FREE HUGS". 

SHE DOES and FREE HUGS. Hey, that rhymes! Genius! 

But yeah, I think yesterday's eppy foreshadowed something here. Shelia already went after Brooke's weakness and that's alcohol. Katie has a heart or will her heart beats be weakened by the delightful machinations of Shelia Carter? 

Stay tuned. Hahaha!

I wish Quinn were back because you know Carter would drop Katie like a hot potato. That's the thing I can't stand about soap nowadays and Bill is a perfect example moping around like some pouty dope. Why do people need someone else in life? Why can't soap characters just celebrate independency? Instead, they just flop from this person and to that person as if their former relationships never beared meaning.

And I loved the moment when Sheila mentioned Will. And the music lowered and HT's face was priceless as the bitca (okay the Victoria Newman) jumped out of her. I thought she was about to slap her.

 at Deacon talking about his D size.

 

Cuz...of course, Deacon would mention it. lol. He is being such a puppy about Sheila. I don't like the storyline, but darn it if SK ain't going to try to sell it. KB also did good with that hint of regret. 

 

Katie is losing her #$% and it's been fun to watch. But I do like watching HT.

 

And I'm with Steffy. I cannot believe how good friends Brooke and Taylor are becoming. I really enjoyed their scenes yesterday. Who would have thought it?

B&B somehow found gold with Katie/Sheila. As far as Katie's heart, remember Katie's out-of-the-blue check-up with Paris' mother before Christmas? Grace was shocked Carter was there for Katie. As we know, Grace was pushing Paris/Carter big time. Knowing B&B, those supposedly random scenes aren't really random. Grace/Sheila future allies? Might be interesting.

Yes, these are strange times with Bill/Sheila, but nothing is odder than Taylor/Brooke. I suppose the latter is easier to accept because it's KA as Taylor so it's feels like a new character.

SK makes you want to root for Deacon/Sheila.

And I SHOULDN'T be rooting for Sheila. Cuz SHEILA. But darn it if SK and his acting making you want to though. But as I say often here, I'm such a sucker for unrequited love on shows. He was soooo adorable on Friday's episode. 

 

Hmmm Grace? That would be interesting. 

 

I agree about Katie/Sheila. Their scenes the other day felt like vintage Y&R catfight/female rivalry scenes.

    • I'm screaming at those clips and gifs.  THIS IS PURE GOLD.

    • That's always been my thought. I can't imagine that the show would play up the unseen AD so far in advance without them casting a *star*. After today's episode, I wonder if he'll somehow be connected with Diane. It was strange that Diane mentioned her very distant family today. I can't recall Diane ever talking about her backstory. Maybe he's her much younger brother?  It's also possible he's connected to Diane during her time in LA. Sally's already said she crossed paths with him. OC, I think Dumas is Mariah's mistake.... As a side note, it was good to see some mixing it up - Adam with Clare/Kyle and Sharon with Tessa.
    • Here's the place to share some memorable criticism. You don't have to agree with it, of course (that's often where the fun starts). Like I mentioned to @DRW50, Sally Field was a favorite punching bag in the late '80s and early '90s.   Punchline (the 1988 movie where she and Tom Hanks are stand ups): "It's impossible to tell the difference between Miss Field's routines that are supposed to be awful, and the awful ones that are supposed to be funny." -- Vincent Canby, New York Times. "It's not merely that Field is miscast; she's miscast in a role that leaves no other resource available to her except her lovability. And (David) Seltzer's script forces her to peddle it shamelessly." -- Hal Hinson, Washington Post. "As a woman who can't tell a joke, Sally Field is certainly convincing. ... Field has become an unendurable performer ... She seems to be begging the audience not to punch her. Which, of course, is the worst kind of bullying from an actor. ... She's certainly nothing like the great housewife-comedian Roseanne Barr, who is a tough, uninhibited performer. Sally Field's pandering kind of 'heart' couldn't be further from the spirit of comedy." -- David Denby, New York   Steel Magnolias: The leading ladies: Dolly Parton: "She is one of the sunniest and most natural of actresses," Roger Ebert wrote. Imagining that she probably saw Truvy as an against-type role, Hinson concluded it's still well within her wheelhouse. "She's just wearing fewer rhinestones." Sally Field: "Field, as always, is a lead ball in the middle of the movie," according to Denby . M'Lynn giving her kidney to Shelby brought out David's bitchy side. "I can think of a lot more Sally Field organs that could be sacrificed." Shirley MacLaine: "(She) attacks her part with the ferociousness of a pit bull," Hinson wrote. "The performance is so manic that you think she must be taking off-camera slugs of Jolt." (I agree. If there was anyone playing to the cheap seats in this movie, it's Shirley.) Olympia Dukakis: "Excruciating, sitting on her southern accent as if each obvious sarcasm was dazzlingly witty," Denby wrote. Daryl Hannah: "Miss Hannah's performance is difficult to judge," according to Canby, which seems to suggest he took a genuine "if you can't say something nice ..." approach. Julia Roberts: "(She acts) with the kind of mega-intensity the camera cannot always absorb," Canby wrote. That comment is so fascinating in light of the nearly 40 years Julia has spent as a Movie Star. She is big. It's the audience who had to play catch up. And on that drag-ish note ... The movie itself: "You feel as if you have been airlifted onto some horrible planet of female impersonators," Hinson wrote. Canby: "Is one supposed to laugh at these women, or with them? It's difficult to tell." Every review I read acknowledged the less than naturalistic dialogue in ways both complimentary (Ebert loved the way the women talked) and cutting (Harling wrote too much exposition, repeating himself like a teenager telling a story, Denby wrote). Harling wrote with sincerity and passion, Canby acknowledged, but it's still a work of "bitchiness and greeting card truisms." The ending was less likely to inspire feeling good as it was feeling relieved, according to Denby. "(It's) as if a group of overbearing, self-absorbed, but impeccable mediocre people at last exit from the house."
    • I tend to have two minds about Tawny (Kathy Najimy) fainting during Soapdish's big reveal. You're the costume designer, if anything, you should have known the whole time. I guess it's an application of what TV Tropes calls the "Rule of Funny." Every time I watch Delirious, I always want the genuine romance in John and Mariel's reunion at the deli counter to last longer. Film critics had their knives out for Sally in this period. I'll start a separate thread on the movies page.
    • I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Dumas this whole time.
    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
