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!

      Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.

      Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.

      I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube.

      Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her

      @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.
