Today was good. It's always nice to see more than one storyline in an episode lol

It still looks like we might be getting #Hinn somewhere down the line

Though Steffy/Finn belong together, I wouldn't mind the messiness of all that. What would make it even better and would actually be something for different is for Steffy to not even look in Liam's direction and fight for Finn any way that she can

Uhm Steffy has suffered enough and turning Finn into Liam? F*ck no, hard pass and that kind of messiness isn't needed, this show is bleeding viewers as it is, this would drive even more away

There is no "Hinn" and Hope would be back to where she started with a guy who loves someone else, and heck Finn's WHOLE heart is with Steffy, he wouldn't have a divided heart

Like really

It will be interesting in a month or so - to see Steffy - after she’s talked to Mom Taylor - who convinces her to return to LA because Finn has disowned his mother and denounced this crazy relationship with Deacon - and needs her to come home to be by his side - as they stand against Sheila, and Finn needs you, come home. But it unfortunately coincides with a very drunk and drugged Finn (Sheila and Deacon did it) banging Hope in his and Steffy’s wedding bed.  But Liam will be there to comfort Steffy - in which case Sheila and Deacon get pictures of Steffy and Liam, thus tying her hands and ensuring Finn has shared custody of the children and grandmotherly visitation rights.  Cause he will flip when he sees the pics of Steffy and Puke. That’ll suck for Steffy.  I only caught the Finn Deacon Sheila scene because I wanted to see how bad a redemption would be - I gotta give Bibberty credit, he sold the anger the best he could, pretty good. He still gonna get in Hope’s musty pants tho just like I said three months ago.

Lord I’m praying there is not going to be a “Fope”, “Hinn” and what not. The last thing we need to see is a newly returned Steffy coming home to see Finn and Hope kissing and then run off to sleep with that little puke Lame. 


Finn telling Sheila and Deacon to go back to Genoa City was priceless LOL. Might not be a bad idea, if only to see the reactions of Lauren, Nikki, and Diane.

Now that Steffy has been 'Hoped' - sainted, declawed, pure, it make sense that Hope would snag Dr. Bibberty.

Hope gets her revenge on Steffy for being a constant presence during the entire time of her Lame relationship.

If Steffy + Finn are going to be a long-term couple, they have to divorce and then pine away for each other.

Most people tune in for drama, not months of sanitized bliss. This is the reason why the genre has been around for 70 years.

Seriously, is there another long-term soap couple that hasn't endured a cheating scandal/divorce, etc.?

I know some people get *itchy about my posts because I soap it up - but that's what they're going to do.

The one thing I don't understand is the Steffy love without acknowledging she's a *itch and a manipulative unreasonable one at times, too.  It's never more than 10 seconds after she has her OWN life, has EVERYTHING she wants, and she has to snivel up to Hope, "saw ya lookin'.  Saw ya lookin' at my brother.  Sure there isn't anything else there?  Are ya sure? Saw ya lookin'."   It's always THAT kind of thing with Steffy that no one seems to notice.  Like, *ITCH go BE with YA MAN.  Stay OUT of other people's business.  But, that's soap opera, and it means she's like her meddling Grandmother - who could never be happy with what she had - always has to then make other people miserable.  

There are always other ways to look at a situation.  But Steffy consistently hangs onto Liam as a 'just in case' as well - just as badly as HE DOES.  It wasn't enough to get the hot doctor....then, ya gotta put your nose in OVER THERE.  

Anyway - Bibberty will be in musty's pants soon enough.  And it's clear that Sheila is always here to stay and I have no idea - if they're going to constantly make the world stupid for Sheila - at least make it MEAN something.  There's no Sheila without Y&R, and yes the character works better on B&B because there are fewer people to make look stupid....because you have to make everyone stupid to have Sheila, so it makes sense that B&B is where she fits because - otherwise all of Genoa City would be a bunch of idiots and it would look even more ridiculous.  But for God sake when she's causing trouble, have Eric place a phone call to his friend Lauren or any number of things.  I don't know.  I think I think too much - or it's definitely my World Turns and Guiding Light roots where villians and anti-heros and anti-heroines were just BETTER all the way around.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
