I imagine Ridge will pull the 'I'll do whatever to protect my family' card now that Sheila is out. If so, I kinda want Brooke or Taylor to say, 'Really, Bunhead?'

I'm hopeful that JMW's leave will open up stories for Finn. I literally feel like I know three things about him: doctor, abs and compliant. He was shocked for 5 seconds when he realized Steffy cheated on Liam with $B. No spouse would just get over that in a few minutes. Huge missed opportunity to delve deeper into Finn's personality. I'm all for SINN, but c'mon they need some real conflict.

@edgeofnik he didn't get over it "quickly" he felt the foregiveness was worth it cause it was a one time thing and he knew waffles had manipulated her, even Thomas had his number then too

I'm hoping we get Sheila vs. Li. Li getting her "boy" away from the SheilaDevil. Honestly, on this show unless your name is Ridge or Liam you barely get airtime. Look at Don, Lawrence, Matt, etc, barely on 

He's kind, compassionate, caring, best husband, father, doctor, son. He would die to protect his family. Need I go on? Lol

 

@Jeff  I adore him!

I've been a big supporter of Scott Clifton's acting, but these upset/angry/annoyed looks he's giving Finn over the Sheila hug are not it.

I know he's probably embarrassed by the writing, but following through with embarrassing faces makes it all even worse.

Pics 3 and 5 above look like “woah Finn, can ya use some more lube!?”.  Anyway I don’t know how anyone can with this show at this point. Just from reading, did Hope jump out of the Thomas bed, run to Carter, get the papers done in 5 minutes, then go home, present Liam with the papers, bang divorce? 
 

This is why no one cares who ends up with who.  What about custody, prenups, control of finances or companies? Where is some character development with some kids (yes you can)?  Then maybe we’d care what happens to people and their families.  
 

They really had a court appearance in an office and with Sheila — there’s nothin to see here folks? She’s free?  I could see from reading - in 1 month or 2 months or shorter - it’ll be Steffy whining that Finn couldn’t protect her. She just cannot with Sheila as his mother. Duh.  
 

Good Lord doe’s someone, anyone need to write this show? Apparently.  At least ya coulda had judge go to his quarters and Sheila appear and say - thank you so much David, for being supportive of me all these years.  He says he’s just a judge doing his job, please get out.  Your sitch with the legal system has a quite lucky, don’t give me a reason to review this again.  You need to concentrate on being a good citizen and clean your life up, bye Sheila.  
 

She leaves. He turns around and rubs his temples and forehead.  Makeup comes off on his hand. Revealing “Killer” on his forehead.   
 

I don’t care if it’s a rewrite. Give people something

@Fevuh I was perplexed by the speed of kiss, fight, sleep with Thomas, divorce papers and done in record time. Then I read what coming up soon, which gave me a theory why they might be severing Lope ASAP. Remember the days when they had the artificial '3 months or 6 months' before a divorce was final? I think they used it with Liam/Steffy's first marriage. 

All this nonsense with Sheila should've never happen. Shooting Steffy/Finn over spiking Brooke's champagne was idiotic and illogical. When Sheila is around, stuff happens. When she's not, we got the past 3 months.

Quinn filled the role of instigator (Sheila) for several years - she hooked up with Deacon, Bill and Eric, spiked Brooke's drink, kidnapped (and worse) Liam, threatened Katie, etc. - but Quinn was declawed. It's amazing how many stories are recycled and burned through on B&B! Sadly, Brad hasn't even made an attempt to have another (younger) character fill that role.

They could have done it with Sally/Courtney Hope.  They missed a boat with that one.  The actress had a demeanor (there are just those kinds of people, and it's something you can't pick out, you can't cast it, difficult to find) - those people who can play a character and you feel sorry for them, no matter what they do almost.  Sally/CH had that.  I could totally see her doing AWFUL things, and if you just write a little bit around it, and give her the material - she'll shed a tear, explain herself, talk about always being left-out, as the Spectras always are....and you'd feel a little bad for her for awhile.  Do awful, terrible things, sleep with half the city......and then just take some money and do something "nice" with it, and you'd forgive her.  To an extent.  She's a rare actress that had and has chemistry with everyone.  EVERYone.  

Sheila is a dead end road and has been for about 20 years.  They'll never get rid of her, and it's caused writing to be lazy, contrived, and at a level that - nothing matters and people don't care anymore.  When I tried to watch, I'd see her face, and it's an immediate TV-turn-off moment.  It just doesn't matter, not worth spending time on.

Why on earth was there a national news break? I've looked at several news sites, don't see anything that would warrant CBS breaking in.

The good news is that whatever scenes were lost, the dialogue was repeated during the rest of the episode and certainly during the next week!

      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.
