There is no disconnect, and calling it one doesn't make it so.

I responded directly to what you said. If you disagree with me, fine, but don't act as if I'm in some parallel universe, making comments out of nowhere.

I made multiple posts here -- probably too many -- because the discussion went beyond the storyline to implications that I condone and excuse rape. Pushing back against that does not mean I think "it's all about me," and I'm not going to run away when someone thinks of me as a rape apologist.

OMG...I just couldn't with Hope today. I can't believe she told Deacon that she was tired of people telling her they had "changed" when they hadn't, and that's why she can't trust Sheila. Uhhhh, hello? That's the same exact same relationship she has with Thomas, the guy who drove Emma off a cliff and told Hope her baby was dead. The scene would have been so much better if Sheila had pointed out her hypocrisy. I do think Sheila's visit needs to wrapped up. There's just so much you can do with the character after all she's done. She should push Liam off a cliff on her way out though. It would make more sense to bring back the kid she had with Massimo to be the "new Sheila" without all the baggage.

The whole RJ/Luna/Zende mess is a...mess. If I never hear the word "mints" again. Just when they started to do something with Zende and this actor for the first time, they give the character this horrendous storyline. There's no way he wouldn't have known something was off with Luna. He was just at a party right before pledging her love for RJ, and then she was waiting for Zende in his bed??? Not only does it make him look like a rapist, despite what all the characters are saying, but also an a*&hole for sleeping with his cousin's girlfriend!

I was hoping to see an early prewiew of Hollis instead I got....

The rapist telling the victim maybe the rape happened for a reason. So they can be together more easily. The rapist tells the victim to end it with the boyfriend to be with him.

What horrible writing by Rex M. Best and Bradley Bell.

OMG...could this storyline get ANY worse? Zende's solution is for Luna to break up with RJ and be with HIM??? Really?

Probably the only person who hates this story more than the viewers is the actor that plays Zende. They've completely written the character into a horrible corner. 

Also, if I hear the word "mints" one more damn time...

Meanwhile, Hope's at the office making out with the dude who told her her baby was dead. This show is so misogynistic. Time and time again, women on the show turn to men who treat them like trash. How many times has Ridge tossed Brooke aside, for instance? Liam waffled back and forth between Steffy and Hope treating both of them like crap for years.

I would love to see this show written by a WOMAN for a change.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By janea4old · Posted

      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.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      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...
