Hope lost her virginity to MARRIED Liam, got slut shamed by the public cause her HFTF line basically stood for "purity and innocence" and got knocked up by a MARRIED Man while his child was barely a few months old

Hope ain't no one to throw stones at anyone. She's heading to Brooke JR territory, not by who she's slept with but her actions

This is so good, I love this version of theme

Yeah but... respectfully /I hope you don't get offended by my comment/ I want to clarify that - Steffy is throwing stones... not Hope. Hope is actually minding her business and doing her life choices, which I think in 2024 is very demeaning to NOT RESPECT. We live in a post-me too MOVEMENT world and to shame a woman or judge her for refusing a marriage IN THE WAY Steffy is doing... is wrong. Steffy is a BULLY in this situation. And even if people love her to obsession... they should understand that it's not ok.

This leads me to my general observation of this situation - people in the boards, I am not talking about anyone in particular, have this strange habit of forgiving their favorite characters all the mistakes and character flaws that they like to point out in the opposite character that they hate. It's human nature I suppose. We like to be blind to the things that are not good in the people we like and love and associate with. But that doesn't make the history disappear.  And that is also very problematic behavior when people start noticing it too much. 

So yeah, it's funny to see some people on the boards judging Hope for things Steffy used to do years ago and did THEM worse... while they are obsessed and forgiving and understanding of Steffy. That is the same treatment favorite children get when a narcissistic parent favors them. Two children can do the same thing and only one gets judged and harassed.

I am not a fan Hope or Steffy, I personally find both characters lacking in substance and badly written from the get go. I appreciate the actresses and I believe they are some of the best and DESERVE better storylines... or even BETTER shows to play in.

That's what I think.

Girl power is something Bradley is not capable of managing in this show and I will prefer he not EVEN try again... after the Taylor Brooke fiasco.

He should stick to what he does semi-good - borderline-incest, paternity tests and mints.

Today's show was as bad as usual, and might have been even worse.

NoT one thing new was said, and nothing new happened. We got a repeat of every show from the past 2 weeks as Hope and Thomas avoided each other and talked to other people about their relationship.

Godawful.

Not to give JER credit, but I long for the days of Passions, where at least the characters there had friends to confide their relationship woes too....The fact the Mom's, Dad's, and Brother's/Sisters etc...were kept out of the loop a good chunk of the time, made things slightly more realistic.

    • I can not see Kat as a police officer and do not want that for her. Thats not her passion nor does she care about that stuff. The stuff with Eva and Leslie is specific to her life and wanting to protect her family. Her "detective" skills have more to do with her business background, which makes her very analytical and pay close attention to details. If this show had a corporation, she'd make a shrewed businesswoman and CEO I definitely dont want to see her sleep with her cousin's husband. That would be too much of a Hayley redux which ironically you dont want with the Sharon/Hayley theory
    • I would make Jan, Ashley's mom, Anita and Vernon's maid. It would lock in to why Leslie would choose to befriend both her and Mona. It also gives Ashley a connection to the Duprees and explains how she befriended Naomi. I would have had Derek start the show as a cop to explain his connection to Jacob. Kat needs to realize that she is MADE to be a detective. Have her go through police training, making the appropriate comments about the uniform along the way. Have her prove she is so much more than a rich princess, even to herself. Then, when Jacob's partner is proven to be dirty, Kat is assigned as Jacob's rookie trainee. At the same time, Naomi does finally get a case she can follow through on. Her client is a person that Jacob arrested. This puts them at odds because Jacob knows this person did it, as does Kat, but Naomi only sees the extenuating circumstances and believes he deserves a lighter sentence and a second chance. THAT is when Jacob will turn to Kat in frustration and she will lose her virginity to him. 
    • This opened my eyes and appeals to my logic. But, don't you also think that the fact that they are so ill-suited means that, by soap-opera-laws, they aren't a long term item?  I like how Belle is written now, so I appreciate the fact that she is in this story.  But, I don't believe anything will become of it, and I think EJ is going to mess it up very soon.  Which explains why I don't get too worked up over it. I'm also suspending my outrage until I see how EJ treats Belle during her mourning.  If he cheats with Cat, then we'll know that he was never meant to be happy.
    • Kristen also raped John post-Paris with a Magic Mirror.  Her pregnancy was "delicate" and they couldn't be intimate.  She had already lost the baby, needed to get pregnant immediately again and set a Stefano tricked out Magic Mirror to hypnotize John and John thought he was  having sex with Marlena.  John woke up the next day and thought it was a dream.
    • The show is only a few months in and still finding it's footing. I'm hoping MVJ has years of story in place for these characters and will pretty much stick to that plan (obviously with tweaking along the way) I do have some issues with the initial structure. Making the Duprees the centerpiece and not having a male with that name. Making Martin Vernon and Anita's would have solved that and made the age of the character more appropriate. I agree about not having a young couple in the beginnings of a romance. And having too many married couples. Jacob and Naomi could be just living together. That makes the possibility of other relationships more viable than within a marriage. Same with Smitty/Martin. Having them married with kids limits the story especially in terms of them as a gay couple.  The white characters existing in another universe is also a problem. That ties in with the workplace/job issues. I don't think they needed the hospital-instead the police station/real estate office or Martin's workplace could have utilized and have Derek/Ashley/Vanessa/Smitty/Shanice etc working and interacting there. ATM too many characters are meeting up in cafes etc-we're not seeing them at work. We needed to see more of how various characters interact eg Jacob/Bill, Ted/Bill. There were a lot of extended family scenes but there should be more one on one to get a sense of character and family dynamics. Leslie is a great character but her bag of tricks is getting over exposed. I would hate that she is kept on and other character's made to look like idiots by accepting her presence. They'll need some good writing and twists to keep her around. We can only hope some of the lesser actors improve as I don't want too many recasts or writeouts. So it's early days and I look forward to seeing the show evolve. And give the Duprees some staff!
    • Thanks. I barely remember any of the backstory there, just his ties to her parents. It was all so convoluted, everything with Tangie.
    • 81 and 82 were rather bad, with the infamous invasion of the Kirkland family. But sometime in late 82 or early 83, Claire Labine was rehired as head-writer and immediately put the focus back on the Ryan's. This time Labine's tenure was short, but she did great work. The entire show was compelling again -- especially the Charlotte Greer storyline (one of the best plots of the entire series).  But Labine was fired, yet again, and Ryan's Bar was bombed, resulting in most of the action being transferred to Greenberg's Deli, and a focus on younger characters with little connection to the Ryan family. So that is what you are probably seeing from 84.   
    • It wasn't that altruistic. He made Tangie a substitute for Blake and was apparently so creepy about it that Tangie spent the years in between getting away from him and running into him in Springfield believing that he had purchased her to be his child bride. It was only when she got to know Blake that she realized that she realized his feelings for her were paternal and suddenly she and Roger became friends.
    • When I watched 1999 Daytime Emmys in real time, I was like "Daytime Emmys will never top this" and that's exactly what happened (at least IMO).
