The only silver lining to all this, Annika Noelle is really bringing IT with her scenes.  Matthew Atkison for some reason, not as much, for me.  Well we've established the females on this show have a stronger presence than the males.

Matthew Atkinson has been much too lethargic for me. I understand the character being down and even depressed, but that doesn't mean the character should be played without any energy at all.

Atkinson looks like he's ready for another vacation.

 

Yeah, that black hair on Steffy does not work.

Okay, so I caught a few mins of B&B today after boycotting the past couple weeks, only to get to the line that Douglas told Hope that dead. “Dad was good enough for her,” when talking about Caroline.

How soon Thudley forgets about the rape and the fake dying story.

Also Thudley needs to see a therapist.

Am I the only one who gagged when Thomas said to Brooke - I wanted to provide for her.

 

P.S - Annika gave A PERFORMACE. Amazing actress. Can't get better than this.

P.S 2 - Well... Thomas... is gone. For now... MONTHS of storyline - killed in 3 episodes. 

Bradley builds up things to kill them in a second... and kills things without building them up.

 

P.S 3 - Steffy coming to gloat at Hope losing everyone is copy/paste Stephanie gloating at Brooke when Brooke broke up with Ridge back in the 80s, JUST before Brooke hooked up with Eric. So it's official, girlies... Hope and Finn are the next goal of this master storyteller.

I wanted to add... the way they are removing Douglas out of Hope's life... with 1 freaking scene in 1 episode... is really mind-bogglingly bad writing. The only thing I can compare it is... to Sheila dying after being gone for weeks... dead in 3 episodes without build up.

What this show now is telling it's viewers is - DON'T BE INVESTED in ANYTHING, darlings, cuz We can UNDO it in 1 scene after 3 months and you'll never hear about it again. Cuz we don't care.

That's the whole vibe I am getting - he, who is in charge, doesn't care what we feel or think or if we are invested or not. It's this... or he has really lost it in a way that makes him completely inadequate to write anymore.

Everyone in this storyline is acting foolishly and completely unrealistic. You don't tear a child from a woman like that. You don't do things like that.

It's so premature and so fast... that your head spins. 

Trust me... soon there will be Finn and Hope in love without build up... and even SOONER it will be Steffy and Liam AGAIN. 

This show reminds me of a bad Sims simulation, where the player has stopped playing and forgotten about the laptop months ago and the laptop is still plugged in and the game plays on auto-pilot.

There is no direction, no atmosphere, no real emotion, besides what the great actors are basically squeezing out of  BAD SCRIPT.

I'd like to see her go to therapy to understand how her conception and her mother's past have made her romanticize the idea of taking a walk on the wild side, and realize that giving into her lust for an abuser was dangerous, and that what she and Thomas have is codependency, not love. I'd like to see her obtain full custody of both children and sue Forrester for creating a hostile work environment and take a big piece of the company, similar to Brooke's Belief lawsuit.

Yes to all of this!!!! 
 

it’s really sad how Thudley would never take any form of therapy seriously as Hope isn’t the only one who needs it. Imagine if Brooke, Taylor and Steffy were actually on a mission to seek help for all the abused they endured at the hands of Ridge/Liam, and they actually all bonded together to kick those creeps to the curb!

You are on point! I agree. And I have watched 99.0 percent of Bold. 70 percent I have watched dedicated. So I know I can compare.

This current period is... just junk... Not 1 story works. Not even 1. And this has been going on for months and months. In the past there have been crutches to move along... and before 2012... It was Stephanie who was the crutch for every bad period the show had. 

I am watching now...  in amusement how bad it is and sickly interested... how much worse it can get. It's like watching a rotting egg and checking it every day to see how disgusting it has gotten.

      Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission.

      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.

      Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      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.
