One thing I don't understand is why is Bradley trying to convert Hope into Brooke... They are so different and the archetypes are not the same. This pairing now that is coming probably of Hope and Finn reminds me of Brooke back in the day... This man changing every year a new one... Not a good look.

The last episode is the worst so far.

Now we have 180 on Finn... who is acting like he and his MOMMY dearest Sheila were best of buddies and loved each other.  On the other side, we have Ridge acting like a sociopath, talking to Finn like - who the hell are you to mourn, when my daughter was in danger. He is actually right... but in this situation both Finn and Ridge looked foolish.  Finn crying for his mother is way too much. Ridge acting too cold is way too much. We also have Steffy acting bizarre and TOO strong for my taste in a scene, where she should have been more close to Finn. Or really broken to pieces herself and in shock. If you have killed someone just an hour before... you don't act like that, even if it was Jack The Ripper that you slayed. But again... this is a bad bad script. I actually thought JMWwas doing a superb job in the last episodes and was the best one in the scene, acting wise. 

Steffy looking with semi-disgust and anger at Finn and standing next to her father - like they are part of a mob, that killed the great big wolf... is so predictable and one-dimensional. Bradley doesn't even let 1 drop of uncertainty - He wants us to BE 100000 PERCENT sure Finn and Steffy will break up. It would have been so much more interesting if it was not so IN YOU face. It's absurd how low Bradley thinks of his viewers. I think even a monkey can get what he is trying to tell us. 

Now this is going to be risky to say - Tanner acted at the level of Ronn Moss, which for this show... I think is somewhat OKAY. But I laughed a little at some of his facial expressions and reactions. He was really struggling in the scene. Poor guy didn't have much material to work with, so I can say in defense to him, so that the girls in the forum don't attack me and get me banned, lol. 

OVERALL in the episode - It feel like the whole plot was switched in a David Lynch schizophrenic speed.  One moment Finn is defending his family against the big bad wolf, the next - he is missing his mommy. The other scenes were absolutely stupid filler that we didn't need to see.  The end was 1 level higher of CRINGE - Finn touching his mother's BLOOD and staring at Steffy... yeah we get it - they are done. Why... Because this show lacks logic and realism. 

And now... who will he turn to... to mourn with... Hope effing Logan....  All of this is so unnatural, so off-putting. They are basically telling all fans to f-ck off. I don't see 1 pairing or a character not destroyed by this.

It sounds like they're trying hard to get canceled. Or there is a market out there for hate-watchers. It's a race to the bottom in terms of how bad they can crash this show into the ground. Bradley Bell is like the Madonna of the soap writer world. Cheap thrills and shock tactics. No shame.

Madonna would make a better writer. At least SHE can reinvent herself.

    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
    • What a good write-up @Errol! Nice seeing the nod to Duplaix's lead.
    • The Egypt location shoot was cancelled because of the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking
