I watched the first few scenes and knew there would be ZERO story progression. So, I didn't even bother.

The whole Hope/Thomas/Steffy mess makes zero sense. WHY WHY WHY would Hope want to rush into marriage...with the guy who stole her baby...after she barely just got out of a divorce?

It really is.

Why in any universe would Brooke listen to Steffy trash her and her daughter? Why is Steffy consumed with Hope and Thomas in the first place?

Why in any universe would Thomas LEAVE THE COUNTRY because he was turned down for an engagement?

And I can't be the only one who's sick and tired of Hope and her perpetual crying and angst about not being engaged to the man she "loves." She could tell Thomas she wants a 5-year engagement, put the damn ring on her finger, and then STFU. Instead, we get all this fake ass wailing.

Casey and the show are full of hot air!

The boring stories just keep going in circles and circles.

The characters have no growth development whatsoever.

Brooke to Steffy  - I can't take all the Hope bashing.

LOL.

Said like it was quoted from a fan on an internet board.

The dialogue is so so bad. SO BAD. And Steffy telling Brooke that Hope is TARGETING her brother. It's back to LOL level of cringe.

P.S Something needs to be done to Steffy's hair.

And Steffy sitting there acting like she is a 70 year old (no hate for the older ladies, just not suitable for a girl that age) moralistic matriarch. Honey, you are the same... if not worse than Hope. Only Brooke can top that, sweetheart.

Who are you to sit there and talk to anyone like you possess some moral superiority? When was the last time you slept with your father in law? Did you target him? Or it was not your fault, LIKE IT always isn't. Steffy needs to get a reality check and her husband needs to dump her and find someone else to sit shirtless with. I said it. Not for Hope...  But he needs to leave her. I know this will trigger people, but that's how I feel. 

If Thomas has stomach upset, does Steffy come to sniff around the bathroom and decide if it's bad enough for a check up?  Why does she always have to be in other people's drama? Giving unsolicited opinion.

When it was Stephanie it worked, but it worked because of the character's history and background. When it's Steffy, it just sounds absurd and hypocritical. 

Steffy, look at your own life, just weeks ago you stabbed your husband's psycho mother and she died in your living room. I bet the smell still lingers. Go get some counseling with him. He has nightmares and is seeing things. Go help him, till he starts saying Liberty Biberty again. Go prepare your legal team and defense. Stop sniffing under Hope's dress hoping to find something really stinky. You will find it, I am sure.

Get a life. Get a job. (In Stephanie's voice) Get some empathy.

+ 100000000000! Brooke just sitting there taking it... when she has battled literal queens and kings... is just pathetic. The writing is making Brooke look like an AI robot lately, probably programmed by Ridge and Microsoft. 

And talking about Ridge... All he can say is... Stop it... and Let's not... while smirking in the middle. What a fool.

What a complete waste of actors! These people deserve better scripts. I will not stop saying this. AND. I will repeat myself from days ago... imagine going into full glam, makeup and wardrobe... to stand there and have to utter complete non-sense day after day.

Yes, whether people want to agree or not, Brooke is now the matriarch of the show, and she shouldn’t allow herself to be torn up by Steffy all the time. She really should be her own  “Stephanie” to Steffys “Brooke” and not the other way around.

You are so right. If they invested more in this direction with Brooke really having a problem with Steffy and trying to destroy her... If they bring the OG Brooke, the jackal that ripped through Forrester... It would be so much fun.

And Steffy and Brooke have waaaay more chemistry when it comes to fights than Steffy and Hope.

But for this to happen Brooke should start being the aggressor, which for some reason Bradley has decided is done in the show. Brooke these days is vanilla and safe. Everything she once wasn't.

Sadly because The aggressor Brooke is when the show is most fun.

I am kinda tired of seeing Brooke be Ridge's puppet who smiles and adores him or her daughter's cheerleader.

Brooke once stole a company and kept it for a decade. She is a conniver of the highest level. Bring this back and make her a brutal enemy with Steffy.

    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • 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 with back polka dots on black background) 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.

      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.

    • 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.
