I really wish this show could figure out how to do at least two stories an episode. I'm not opposed to all the drama about "kiss-gate" but entire episodes for days and days are taken up with this one single story. All of a sudden, it's ALL anyone who is shown can talk about. And, it's not the time limit of a 30 minute show. Many half-hour shows, including B&B, used to have 2 and sometimes 3 storylines featured in an episode. If I don't like the one story that's happening, I just tune out.

I keep waiting for the show to realize what a find they have with LSV and give him storylines worthy of his talents. The show could have developed more of a true triangle with Carter, Katie, and Bill even. You could have Quinn come back wanting to reunite with Carter, too. Those two had smoking hot chemistry. It's still perplexing they let RS go. Add Eric and Donna to the mix and you have another story you can pivot to.

And where is Zende? I'm not a Paris fan. She's always been a very flat character to me, but the actor that plays Zende is hot as hell. Surely, they can do something more with him...a model at Forrester who wants to land him and his $$$ maybe and has an agenda.

I'm not sure what they have planned for RJ. There's really nothing for him to do. It'd be great to see a group of young and hungry interns, AND not all rich ones, at Forrester. So much story could be mined from that. Maybe...finally...show a gay character! It's always been nuts that this fashion house has zero gay employees or no Latin characters even though the show takes place in LA which is over 50% Latino. What are the odds of no gay or Latin employee at Forrester really??? Perhaps Will returns, comes out of the closet, and wants to work with Forrester. Bill would hit the roof!

Maybe even have a couple of characters who do the not so glamorous part of work at Forrester...those people who work in the basement where Thorne used to be and are eager to improve their lot in life...sort of an "upstairs/downstairs." So much conflict could be written from that and would make Forrester Creations more of a complete world for the viewer.

The show really needs a shake-up...and focus on more than one story. We've seen Brooke/RIdge/Taylor and Steffy/Liam/Hope/Thomas so many times it could be the same scripts from years ago, and people play musical chairs with spouses so often none of the stories carry any weight.

It might be a controversial opinion, but to shake things up, I would kill Ridge off. This would finally free Taylor and Brooke of his baggage, and then you'd have a true shake-up at Forrester. Maybe Felicia's trouble-making son arrives....OR Jack, the child that is biologically Brooke's but was given birth to by Taylor! Talk about a conflict! He'd make a great rival for RJ. and could have some Johnathan from GL vibes about him. He could be super pissed at both Brooke and Taylor for neither one of them stepping up to be a mom and wanting both of them to pay for it.

I know as a 30 minute show we can't have a HUGE cast, but only what...10 people get regularly used. The show could easily do a cast of 25 characters (maybe some recurring for budget) to give us some much needed variety in characters AND storylines.

Just my two-cents.

So...they did it! LOL!!! Go, Thomas!!!

 

That said...they suuuure are dragging the reveal that they slept together. I get it. And it's working because I am getting anxious to see everyone else find out. 

 

Meanwhile...what are they planning for Sheila next? It's nice to have a B story again right now, but I don't see where they can take her from here.

My God Wyatt and Liam again with the same dialogue.

So Hope is pretty much blaming Steffy for her marriage falling apart. Try again Bradley. There was zero indication of it at all. Just grasping!! I can't believe Bradley is doing this sh!t again.

I caught a minute the other day with Hope riding Thomas - only missing the Bow Chicka Mow Mow music.  She really is a whore lollllll.  But I don’t care for Steffy either, she’ll be back in Liam’s bed soon enough.  But passed by today and heard Hope say something like she is with a man who wants only her.  Lollzzz.  Good. He will love ya so much he’ll make your bones into wind chimes.  Hopefully.

Hope tells Brooke she doesn't want to be like her. Having a man waffling between her and Taylor.

Wyatt found out about the Steffy kisses.

So Kelly's "premonition" was about Liam.

The dialogue between Hope and Brooke, albeit repetitive, has been spot on regarding Hope not wanting to end up like her mother.

I'm surprised Thomas just sat there while Brooke berated Hope and any possibility of a relationship with him, I would have tossed her out!

      What consequences are there to suffer? He didnt commit any crime and everyone already hates him. If anything this will set back the progress he's made with Naomi

      Yes and I also loved how she focused on Chelsea and Naomi when she spilled Bill's involvement in all of this.

      OH, I AM.   And it looks like it's a pretty good episode so I might watch later on this weekend after work cuz I see a lot of scenes with people I actually like. Very happy to see Rocco/Danny appear to be getting story, too.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      I do agree that a revival of EON would work, if it doesn't fall into doing all of the typical soap opera tropes... which it became guilty of in the final few years of the show with the over abundance of Raven/Sky at the expense of the actual detectives, police, etc. And I know it was mentioned earlier that Raven had lost any true connections on the show with the death of her on screen mother, and the loss of April/Draper/Deborah.. and I do agree with that. I actually thought the show would have done something with the Shelley character that could have connected her to the Raven character.  There were a few scenes where the two would have scenes and size one another up before they would go their separate ways.. so I assumed perhaps they would have been revealed as half-siblings and/or perhaps cousins.  Alas.. not to be.

      It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.'

      And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.

      @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.

      Part of the reason that Courtney worked at OLTL was because the show had an actual character for her to play.  One that was somewhat different than her character on AW, and after the way she was treated over at AW.. it had to have been nice to be courted onto a new soap that actually valued your contributions.
