@Althea Davis Hope was morally centered *because* of Brooke! It was absolutely believable that Hope would not want to emulate her mother's choices. In fact, it was one of the best decisions Brad made about the character.

While I'm all for Hope evolving, but this is a 180. It's not like there was some shocking event that caused Hope to question her previous choices or even a natural progression. It's like one day she woke up and decided to have a purely physical relationship with her stalker, abuser, etc.

Maybe this Thomas fling has been the part of the evolution to make the real shocker - HINN - a tad more believable.

Eh I felt hope has had some Brooke characterization before. Didn’t she return to LA, chased after Liam. And slept and knocked him up while he was still married to Steffy? And while Steffy was expected a child. In 2013 she also rejoiced and was all over Liam, when Steffy had a miscarriage. 
Hope has had Brooke’s self absorbeness for years. It js seems now. They’re going the more soapy route imo. It’s not that far fetched.

I don’t get the complaints. I get this story isn’t the best written & hasn’t been since Covid. But we could all be back to the repetitive Liam Hope and Steffy triangle. At least this is something different.

My point is this show in general is not good. Bradley is a terrible writer lmaoo. And this story is atleast dramatic & soapy somewhat. & it feels different.. so I don’t get all these complaints like this is an all time low for bold. When it’s a nice pace of change from the Liam Hope Steffy triangle.

Well, we can agree to disagree. I have my opinion and you have yours. I don't write my analysis or rants about the show here for anyone to "get" them. Different strokes for different folks.

My post about the complaints was more so in general.
I had responded to your post initially just pointing out that Hope slept with Steffys husband. In all of Steffy/liams marriages. Including when she pregnant with Kelly. So I’ve saw shades of Brooke for awhile.

I guess the two replies merged. My apologies. But yes we can agree to disagree.

What I do not ever understand about Steffy is her obsession with her nutso brother.  Hope should stand up to her and lay it out.  Here’s the deal Steffy- your brother said he could take it like a man and he wanted a piece. I asked him if he can handle it.  That is all BYE.  If he can’t handle it, that makes him crazy like your husband’s mother, who you killed.  Lemme know what I’m missing BYE.  I saw the end of the conversation and the hint at a slap.  Honestly Steffy is a meddling  bore who can’t keep her own life together yet has to be up in everyone else’s.  You’d think her own pending murder trial would keep her occupied but it appears as if she wants a piece of Thomas’ *ock too. Lollll

I kinda can agree with this... just not with the last part, which is just... ew...

Steffy has been getting a bad look character wise for the past few months and is one more of the characters Bradley is slowly assassinating. The whole demeanor after killing Sheila was WRONG, the meddling and the hypocrisy of acting like a moral-judge and jury are just laughable. I know people here have a clique that likes her, I get that and I support that... but... it's just wrong for the character and makes Steffy not look good and not be rootable.

      On May 27, Johnny spoke to Sami on the phone, and learned that Sami and Sydney were trying to fly in from Sicily, but were stopped by a volcanic eruption because the ash had grounded all the planes. As discussed on the May thread, ash from Mt. Etna in Sicily caused planes to be grounded in summer 2024, so Cwikly/Ford would have known that.  (I just learned that Mt. Etna has been considered "active" with intermittent activity since 2022.) Friday May 30, Will said that Sami and Sydney found another flight and will be here soon. Well, Sami and Sydney got out just in time, because … There was (and still is ongoing) a huge eruption of Mt. Etna that began very early Monday morning June 2 Italy time (which would be Sunday night June 1st Chicago time) and a volcanic ash plume had reached an altitude of around 6,400 metres (around 3 or 4 miles high) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/mount-etna-eruption-volcano-smoke-lava-live-updates-b2761911.html

      Agree to disagree. Like first, love second. OH, agree, agree, agree! Legendary Featherstone, you're not dressing this one well at all. Petite woman with ample bosom, wrong clothes = awful  matronly looking ugh. I'm sorry but I felt hit over the head with everything each of them thought & felt for about 6 more days than I felt I had signed on for.  I don't know you well enough to know if you will know when I'm teasing, so I've just warned you that I am when I say, I hate for you that you haven't actually met Danielle before. LOL. To me it was just a natural take.  I have no problem going back & forth between those two focal sites. But, I am certainly aware that early on I had an expectation of being really into their having 27 sets & that has definitely not been the realization. And, yes, for now, Frank is still heads above any & all others with us & sets IMO.  Huh? Guza gone. I have it in my head that he was only willing to come out of retirement (and presumed mourning) for a "certain amount of time" to help get this new creature launched, but had no desire to stay & so was one of the "over-staffed intentionally" that we were told about. Of course there's been no official word on the circumstances of his leaving.  But, you might mean go with Guza as in a style, if so, ignore the last para.

      I'm so pleased we have such fan engagement about Dani. Reminds me of some other soap characters. I think it's because they are "polarizers" which is a word I may have just made up. They are polarizing on their shows to other characters & to story & they are polarizing in the audience as fans seem to have extreme reactions to them, love & hate, not middling neutrality, ya know? Well, it's a theory.  To me the human being you seek has been amply shown especially to two people & both more or less recently. Her sister bond with Nicole, whoa, has knocked me back & blown me away. And, with Chelsea, over her budding sexual identity and awareness. She gathered instantly that something was up with that daughter & was laser focused on her for several scenes. Then, for a third, she & Pamela have finally, also recently, been so real & genuine & authentic.

      Thanks, Paul, I did not know about his interest in the comedic elements or that he was one of our many people who came from the network! I have always liked Marlena de la Croix's writing, which is not to say I 100% agree with her. She's been a member of my FB soap group for a good long time & she actually posts, which I love. Recently I posted about an e-copy of Robert LaGuardia's SOAP WORLD that is free to borrow like a library e-book but on the Internet Archive site & I posted that at the time of their publications, all of his soap opera books were the gold standard.  She immediately posted about "Bob" who was her close friend & how much she still misses him to this day & that he loved to talk soaps & was also a nice guy, etc. which I was over the moon to have her share about the author & his time etc. like that!!!

      Just more RTD ego trips, seemingly his main reason for coming back.

      RIP to our hero, John Black 

      Please register in order to view this content

      I really wonder why they chose to write this whole ‘John is getting better’ part of the storyline, especially since we all knew what was really going to happen. And I hope we find out the answer someday. But as tough and as tearjerking as today was, it was also really beautiful. And the acting, even though a lot of it if not all of it was real, was spectacular. The flashbacks were beautiful too. I honestly can’t even describe how much I enjoyed today.  Having so many of John and Marlena’s scenes be focused on the two of them and their love story was the right decision. It was a fitting end to John and Marlena. And I’m also glad that John and Steve got to have one last goodbye after everything that happened. As for Bo and Hope and their family, I did think that some parts were a little unnecessary but I really enjoyed Bo’s dream and his reunion with Zack. The acting playing Zack actually did a pretty good job too. Everybody encouraging Bo to fight was really the right decision in this storyline as well.  As for the final minutes of today, be prepared. I actually have tears running down my cheeks as I write this.
