I think with Kristian back there was no way they could've allowed Bo/Billie to continue despite their popularity, unless Kristian had majorly taken off with someone else. (Which has never happened, despite many attempts including many with Drake, some by JER himself)

I adored Bo and Billie as a kid and was heartbroken by their break-up, but I knew it was probably inevitable bc I'd been made familiar with the legend of Bo and Hope.

I was thrilled to see the end of Bo/Billie, since I have never liked Billie, no matter who played her. And JER tried to destroy Bo/Hope at her expense, and...that's where I am.

The fact that RKK turned out to be a trashy human just made the pivot back to Bo/Hope that much easier.

I think Bo/Bille/Hope could have been a much more viable quad ala John/OGRoman/Marlena if all actors stayed in place or even with a PR swap out.  I don't think Rinna had awesome chemistry with PR, but she herself was a chemistry magnet back then so I do think the triangle had legs.   If RKK stayed as Bo there would have been more rooting value towards Bo/Billie, but if the timing was better and people weren't leaving as others were coming I think it's a strong top or 2nd story to John/Marlena/Kristen as opposed the third or fourth tier treatment it was given in the late 90's.  But it is what it is.  I do think Bo/Hope were done a bit dirty by JER and I don't have the strong pull towards them as I do to John/Marlena and I think it is wholly based on when I started watching and who was the #1 couple.

I have no issue with Peter or Kristian together. I just think most of their stories in the last 30 years have sucked, lol. That's not their fault. Re-pairing Bo and Billie definitely wouldn't work now, though.

Oh for sure.  It would never work. On a different note, I noticed when Kate was talking to Bo she was saying they were family mentioning how she was married to his father and brother, but no mention of being his daughter's grandmother.  Does Chelsea not exist anymore?  lol..

Kate mentioned Chelsea to Bo today, so I'm glad the writers didn't forget that history. 

So, an anti-age serum to make Megan and Bo dip into the fountain of youth?

 Okay. Actually, it would be funny if Megan and Bo reverted back to 30 or 40 years ago played by a younger Bo and Megan, lol! Meanwhile, Dr. Rolf seems to be having issues aging them back. After a year or so, older Hope becomes a cougar for her younger Bo. And it's Hope's kiss that ages Bo back to 60 while Megan remains to be the younger breathless wonder who still wants to be with her Papi. And that Papi is Bo Brady.

This storyline is genius.

They actually remembered Chelsea today

I liked the Bo/Kate scenes. Peter and Lauren actually have good non-romantic chemistry. Similar to the chemistry that he had with Loretta Devine in BS2. And the cliffhanger was really good again as well. 

And I did see a little chemistry between Harris and Hope Not a lot, but some.

As for who stole the orchid, I don’t mind it. But they really gotta beef up security at the Dimera mansion. Everything’s that happened over there in the past year and people still can pass through it like it’s a subway station

C'mon, Kate. We all know how hospital gowns work. Show us some skin! So, they do make hospital gowns in that color. When I was at the hospital, they looked at me all weird when I asked if they had gowns in a shade of blue instead of green. I look better in blue although I do like a good kiwi or forest green. Back to Kate, show us some skin!

...for the same reason why soap fans get/got mad when their octogenarian favorites weren't given frontburner storylines anymore even though the actors could barely remember their lines.

For a good 20+ years now, so many soap fans (of all the soaps, not just DAYS) were only interested in their 80's/90's favorites, and the newbies were rejected by and large. So here we are, 2023, and our adventurous superheroes need walking canes and hearing aides (Drake is sporting one, yes?)

  He's so gorgeous!  How can you not lust after him?

Anyway, today's show was fine.  It absolutely looks like a Beyond Salem episode especially when they give the location/time updates lol and use some weird hospital commercial background for the ISA headquarters.  I highly doubt Hope's spy skills are revered throughout the ISA.

Marlena is going to telepathically reach out to John.  The moment everyone  (just me lol) has been waiting for.  

I think KA and SBu have really good chemistry.  Yes, I hate myself over it, but they do........

Peter was a little better today.  So the screen said several hours later and cut to John/Steve at the Pub but the second scene was Kate/Bo.  Were they just literally standing around staring at each other for several hours because the scene picked up the same scenario/convo lol.

I am absolutely interested in my faves and watch for them, but I would be fine with their children being involved.  I know people talk a lot about the veterans airtime and I always enjoy seeing them, but Deidre is like 75 years old.  We are lucky she is still acting lol.

And, yes, Drake has a visible hearing aid.

    • Emphasis on the work...VANISH.

          I've discussed this at length in the monthly threads on the main A stories as established by Week 1...which Martin's secret was one of them. Most soaps would have an A story one week with all the B/C plots just orbitting about. BTG did that well itself in the first two/three weeks. But like I mentioned before one of the A stories (Dani/Bill/Hayley) they can't keep going to that at the moment since it was already overkill by the end of Month 1. The other one...the Silk Press storyline...was really the only one that has been well-paced in my opinion with twists, turns, and builds...including subplots and near-misses. But that was not going to explode before May Sweeps. So that left Martin's secret...which as I said...started off well. I loved how it started with Martin having problems sleeping, but NO images. Then we got sounds. THEN we started to get images. And NOW those images are getting more established. But before we got all that, his storyline...which has been established to be a main one...vanished for a month and a half. While it worked for the storyline since Month 2 gave Martin (and Brandon Clayborn to grow) time to be more established...along with his family...the story of his secret could have also been a story that had a nice slow burn (which I love) to the show while having the other B/C plots orbitting it. Again, not mad at it since it allowed the audience to learn more about Martin and his family life. It also allowed for other B/C plots to grow on the audience. I also think the story development for that A story might have suffered from the writers still trying to find a rhythm that works for this show.   In any case, I also said that I felt they might go old school soap in May. And by old school I meant as an A story is climaxing, the writers take another story that will be the next one and start to build it up again, while also starting another plot as a C plot. And right now, we have the SilkPress storyline climaxing while Martin's nightmares (with images) have finally started to come back into play. I mentioned when I saw the promos of Martin vs Ted that hopefully the reveal would trigger Martin to the point that we FINALLY get to see what he did. So far...how Martin's been acting since the reveal, being so triggered, I still feel that is how we will see how things happened...allowing the next A story to finally take off.    Fingers crossed.   
    • You know what? After all the men she's been with dying, it's only appropriate that she try her hand with women. Only then will she discover how much of a curse she is when it comes to relationships. Of course, I don't think the show would go there, but if they do, I wonder how Carly would react to her daughter being with Robin's.
    • If I'm not mistaken, much of this took place while Claire Labine was writing LOL -- and believe me, it was a very compelling show!  Probably the best soap on the air during Labine's short tenure as head-writer.  I assume Labine left LOL to create Ryan's Hope in 1975, but much of the action your describe seems to be her work.  Not sure why -- maybe some dates are off.
    • Felicia and Rachel were suddenly represented as friends when Mitch came back to Bay City in 1986 in order to try to add tension to the storyline of Mitch and Felicia getting together. I suppose we are lucky that Margaret DePriest didn't eliminate Felicia as she did Quinn and Maisie for being outside the "core families" of McKinnon/Love/Cory.   Felicia was more antagonistic when she was first introduced. She brought Carl to town not knowing he was Donna's ex. She was carrying on an affair with Cass while he was sneaking around with Cecile behind her back and was livid with him when she found out. She was resentful when Cass signed Julia to Winthrop Publishing. She was friendly with Lily though IIRC.     
    • Just coming to comment about Joss and I see there is some conversation. I want to know what's with the subtle "moments" between Joss and Emma. I've been noticing it, but maybe I'm just overthinking it.

    • In regards to Sam and Amanda... both of them were immature and crappy people.  She was a spoiled daddy's girl while he had a chip on his shoulder.  Both were stubborn and pigheaded... and I'm thankful I've resisted wearing the 2025 lens of assuming women are empowering and men are toxic.... when quite frankly both men and women could stand to be a little less toxic (in real life, of course).. not on my soaps where toxicity should be the norm.
    • I'm copying and pasting the entire post because, while I enjoyed the watch, I agree with every single one of your points (as I posted above I thought the dialogue tried for clever sophistication without sounding realistic throughout, in fact.)
    • I've just been over Josslyn since her corn costume on Halloween, putting her into a "leading lady" kind of position, simply because she is Carly's daughter, all while backburning other children is annoying AF.
    • Hilarious that Steffy just barges into Brooke's house to see Hope without knocking. Ridge bought it, so I guess she feels she's entitled to.
    • Joss is nowhere near the top of my list to keep currently.  I just wouldn't kill her off and consider bringing her back sometime down the line.  I guess it depends on how well the show is able to develop the next generation of talent with Rocco, Danny, Georgie, etc.
