That pic of Finn

Anywho I want Hope for the Future line to be dead, it should have been years ago. Steffy should have been a petty bish and killed it when Hope got pregnant by Liam when he was married to Steffy. 

 

So it's the Hope pity party today, I don't think there's anyone who didn't feel sorry for her today

There was a really great picture I saw when I was diving for pictures of him. I am hoping it was for an upcoming scene given that Dollar Bill said he was going to try to force Finn and Sheila together, but it was too big for the forum. But I thought he looked reeeally good.

Trying to watch live, but....it takes a lot.  When did Sheila become the most gorgeous woman in the world?  That men are pining over her - what's her job, where's her money, what about her whole....life?  Painful.  There's suspending disbelief and then there's....this.  Mess.

Second, how many times are they going to do the story of again-redeemed Thomas has to "save the line" with his world famous designs?  I just can't.

Every Sheila story has always been about blackmail.  And there are numerous others - like Sheila devouring Taylor because Bill will send Taylor to jail.  It’s what makes it so stupid - after all the manipulation and grand genius of Sheila, she would just say - eh? Meh. Meh, Bill is meh.  
 

The reason she’s not in jail is a guy who is meh in 1 week. So dumb.

@Fevuh B&B's writing is completely illogical. Sheila doing a 180 on $Bill is simply Brad's way of wrapping this story ASAP. This follows the quick change with $Bill being assertive/DD returning to normal speaking voice.

Considering Deacon's *grand opening* has been mentioned several times - even though the restaurant is open under Deacon's management - it's probably where $Bill turns on Sheila.

Sheila being Mrs. $Bill Spencer trying to make amends while also relishing in the fact that she's back in Bel Air society. $Bill/Sheila blackmailing/manipulating rich folks to get on boards, charities, etc. Stories like that would've been far more interesting to watch than what will probably get - Bill/Katie reunion.

I agree with your post @edgeofnik. Yeah, the thing for me that I keep complaining about is the writing. Either the same characters keep repeating the same damn dialogue over and over, or the storylines happen so abruptly that it makes me wish the writers would have taken the time for to develop more slowly. Does that make any sense? It's not a bad show per se, but all I do is keep thinking of the impact the storylines could of had IF the writers were a little bit patient with them. There is no patience with this show at all, but I still like watching it. 

Not only am I confused with Bill and Shelia, but this whole Hope story and Hope For Future (whatever it's called) designs came out of nowhere too. 

God, I feel like I complain too much, lol! No, don't get me wrong as it's a watchable show for me. I guess I'm more irritated with characters who say the same thing over and over and over.

I've sort of determined B&B is the opposite of Y&R at this point. Y&R builds up storylines for a while and just as it seems like it could get interesting, they pull out the rug and there is no payoff. Examples: Dominick gets sick and needs a transplant but Devon is a match and Dom is cured within a week. Nate is working with Newman to steal Chancellor-Winters but then at the last minute he just decides to confess and nothing happens. 

 

On B&B, you get zero build up and then all of a sudden you're in the middle of a climax to a storyline that you didn't even know was happening. Examples: Suddenly Finn is adopted and Sheila shows up at the wedding as his birth mother. Sheila and Bill have fallen in love and he gets her charges cleared. Thomas hands Hope papers for a court date tomorrow for Douglas to decide who his custodian is, no lawyers and no drawn out custody fight.

 

Both shows are just bizarre.

LOL! That's what I've read from the posts on this board here and there. I don't watch Y&R (I used to back in the day until I immediately fell in love with Loving), but that's disappointing to hear. I don't hate B&B, but I just find some ideas aren't that bad if it were told better. Kind of like how you plant a seed and watch it grow from time to time. I did that in elementary school where they gave you these styrofoam Dixie mini-cups. I forgot what I planted actually, but even as the devil's child, I knew that plant wasn't going to fully sprout the very next day. Patience on this show is lacking. I sort of feel robbed as the only thing I had in my wallet was an expired condom that I kept forgetting to throw away.

How is it that Steffy can go through her own drama with Shelia, get temporary custody of her nephew, forgive her brother, and then tell Hope that her clothing line could be in that much of a short time span? What?

    • If the shooter is Arnold, I am not going to be happy.

      Agreed.  Again, I really like the pace of the mystery. RonC always wrote a shocking crime, then it would be solved only through exposition at the end.  I feel like the audience is being shown some respect by them carefully closing all the loopholes.  For example, having Shawn-D call Rafe to turn in his gun was a clever device to get Gabi to confess. As much as I agree with @carolineg about the odd shift in Sophia's character, this plot is starting to make me angry.  A woman is denied an abortion and forced to raise a child?  It is gross.  The stomach pains are a hopeful foreshadowing.  But, if she fakes pregnancy, or hides his miscarriage, I am going to scream!!! Roman continues to be a mench, but I have to admit that I can never keep track of the difference between Max and Benjy.  I guess it helps that Benjy is dead.  Is Max still related to Carly?
    • If Sally Field had been more generous about the writing I would say that her assessment is really very fair. I found Soapdish very funny. The cast is great. Delirious with John Candy and Mariel Hemingway (and Emma Samms!) came out the same year and I had expected to prefer Delirious, but Soapdish is one that I can watch repeatedly.
    • I love SOAPDISH but I think TOOTSIE is better. Generally I am quite fond of gender-benders. VICTOR, VICTORIA, most favorite. 
    • On GL we only saw young GA's Philip in very short shorts but on AMC we saw GA's Alec McIntyre in a speedo.  But, on GL, an older GA/Philip is having sex with Olivia in a hotel room where Bruce Barry was directing & he & she both end up down to nothing but black underwear & at one point his bicep is covering her entire upper body so it appears that she is naked. I think they ended up on the floor between the bed & the wall. That was when I realized that Grant's body was better than Steve Burton's. (Olivia was cheating. Her husband Alan was in the hospital.) It is notable that I can speak with any insight AT ALL about these bodies since that is not the team I play for! LOL 
    • I mentioned that last week and I am glad Tate and Sophia just realized that today lol.  I think the show is just tying up some of Ron's loose ends.   You would think Brady, Holly or even Marlena would have perhaps pointed out the age thing to Tate at some point. I am not sure I like this shift in Sophia's characterization though.  MK played Sophia as someone who always defied her mom's rules-she just didn't get caught.  She was openly trying to steal Tate from Holly with no shame, showing up at the Horton cabin in bikinis to seduce him, and blackmailing Holly to work all her shifts at the Bistro.  Once the recast started the show has acted like Sophia's lived in her room, sheltered her entire life lol.
    • I thought Dante was going to put hands on Gio
    • If Jordan never appeared again, I would absolutely not notice or miss her.  So, while Brook Kerr has her flaws, she at least appears to have a pulse and a personality as Portia.
    • That's because India, or the India MKA ended up playing, was created due to the fact that both she and Kristi Farrell were liked by TPTB, but the part they both read for didn't exactly fit either one of them so the show created two brand new characters for both actresses to play (India and Roxie) and opted not to cast the character they were intending to cast (A cousin of Beth's). I think that's why the show seemed to struggle at first with how to write both India and Roxie in their first months on the show because the characters weren't ever intended to exist.  And yes.. Grant A had a great body... but I didn't find him hot when he was playing Phillip.. only when he was playing Alec on AMC which baffles me since it was the same actor in both parts LOL  
    • I shared this on Twitter and good grief the comments. Steffy fans can be such vile real-life human beings over a fictional character lol.  
    • I remember Michael Logan interviewed L.A. actors/production staff about the movie. Susan Seaforth Hayes said she was dying to know Susan Lucci's reaction.
