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.

    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
