When I saw Finn "working hard" looking at those papers, my reaction was, "Are you kidding me???  Finn is going to save Eric??"  What kind of a doctor is Finn exactly?  LOL.  I have no real opinion of Eric, but after what's happened with the showdown, and everything leading up to the party, Eric has to die....right?  I really thought this was going to be John McCook's sendoff and having Eric's last scenes be with Stephanie in heaven.   But I guess not?  That's very disappointing.

If Eric dies, I hope it turns out his divorce from Sheila was never finalized and she ends up in control of everything. It would give her the upper hand against Steffy and would hopefully lead to the long-awaited showdown with Lauren (I’ve been waiting 18 years for it).

As a Sheila fan since the early 90s, I am so bored with how she is being used. Steffy is small potatoes compared to Sheila’s historic enemies Lauren and Stephanie. If they want the Finn story to continue, they need to add at least one of Sheila’s other children.

In addition, I want them to reveal who Pheila was since it obviously wasn’t Sheila or Sugar. Plus, I’d like them to retcon MAB’s material by having Daisy and Ryder revealed to be Sarah’s children with Sarah being revealed to not be Sheila’s sister. I know Bold shouldn’t have to clean up Y&R’s mess but the continuity discrepancies still annoy me.

It should have happened in 2017 but better late than never. In fact, it should happen on Y&R but Griffith inexplicably hates Sheila and won’t bring her back for a crossover. My only hope is for Brad to bring back Lauren for a week and deal with it then.

I so hope Finn can save Eric!  What a nail biter!  Gag. 
 

The problem with Sheila is that too much attention has been given to her and two shows have allowed themselves to be eaten by the character with no explanation and frankly - I no longer care about what Sheila did to anyone and I don’t care because all of the characters were written to be stupid. And I don’t know how we got to a place that people would think Kimberlin Brown was worth all of this.  
 

I don’t care about a Feelaya, Pheloa or a Sarah or Sugar or any of those people. If you’re going to write a story for two shows it can’t be 30 years later. The Sheila ship needed to be introduced to a good iceberg 15 years ago.

Now this is something I will not stand by. Kimberlin is a soap LEGEND. When she was NOT on the show... pretty much every week someone would write something like... Bring Sheila back. This went for DECADES. The character was so missed and fantasized about.

P.S

I do not understand people bashing actors. I understand bashing or looking down on characters... but to say Kimberlin is not worth all of it is plain wrong. Sorry.

If I may interject, I think they're asking "is Kimberlin worth it?" not because of any unspoken political affiliation, but more so her ability as an actress... I mean, surely you've seen the squinty eye thing she does when trying to conjure up tears, yes? 

And at this point, with the Y&R/B&B history rewrites that don't make sense and her endless ability to reappear, she's the equivalent to Jason from Friday the 13th.

It’s easy enough to fix the rewrites. I think my post is in this thread where I explained what could be done. It wouldn’t even need to be a story, just a few lines of dialogue. Swap out Sheila’s dialogue about Finn and replace it with dialogue addressing Pheila/the twins/Sarah. Bada bing, bada boom, fixed!

Has Steffy ever mentioned that Sheila’s daughter Diana is her aunt? In fact, was there ever any definitive proof that Diana was Massimo’s daughter or even Sheila’s daughter?

    • 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 or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) 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.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
