I don't feel like anything happened this week, but I really enjoyed watching. Perhaps it's because everyone was at work. Kinda working (at least in Steffy's case), but it just made me think Bell soap. And everyone was really looking good this week (nice to see the black Thomas shirt with the bucket again) and again that made me think Bell soap. And oh, look...Carter has a beard with his foine self...WOOF.

 

That said...I've been looking forward to this. Steffy v Hope. Not because they haven't before because they have. But THIS time...Hope is totally different. She's been just as feisty as Steffy tends to be since she's gotten with Thomas. And watching Steffy read her, I expected Hope to slap her tbh. And look at the teaser that was at the end of this week's episode. lol. Called it. 

 

Also said...Steffy should but out. Cuz THIS Hope might start to read her back. lol.

 

There was more of Bill with Luca this week. I mean...assuming it's him and not a red herring, it would be interesting to see Bill with a daughter since outside of Caroline, he has been all boys.

 

And it looks like Finn's vision was C plot this week.

People online are acting like the Steffy/Hope feud is reminiscent of the Stephanie/Brooke one.

Girlies and boys... are you kidding me? Steffy slept with her father in law and needed a paternity test - copy paste storyline of classic Brooke.

Steffy was in LINGERIE-stalking men around the Forrester halls for YEARS and acting like a complete tramp. All while Hope was the virginal, moral-inspired boring one. 

How is a woman like Steffy now acting like a judgmental biddy... going to erase 15 years of history. And Hope does not become BROOKE in a year. Or with one or two mistakes. 

When Stephanie was bashing Brooke all around... Brooke had already devoured the Forrester family and pretty much destroyed Stephanie's life. Stole her husband and two sons...

So... this desperate grab for ratings... does not make Steffy and Hope a powerful feud dynamic like Stephanie and Brooke. It does the exact opposite.

It makes Steffy looks hypocritical and heartless, DIDN'T SHE JUST MURDER a person... Even if it was a PSYCHO... murdering someone... if you are in your right mind and not a sociopath... you should not run around in short dresses and tell people what to do in their private lives and copy/paste your late grandma's judgmental tone.

And the situation makes Hope look stupid and weak... Trying to slap Steffy is not the way to go Hope - just laugh in her face and ask her all about her [!@#$%^&*] and then just go eat some chocolate cake, since Steffy is THE LAST PERSON to come and say these things to you.

Hope isn’t so innocent either. She returned to L.A. pretending to be Steffys friend. Then swooped right in and knocked up her husband.  When Steffy was pregnant.

She also dry humped Liam. A couple days after Steffy gave birth. Breaking up Kelly’s family. Beth was conceived by adultery. They’ve both been trash to each other imo. And both have the right to hate each other. But Hope broke up a family. Classic Brooke. 
I like Hope now. But she was so insufferable 2018.

 

Tanner Novlan is fine as hell!

Personally, I have always thought the Steffy/Hope feud is the new generation of Taylor/Brooke.

 

Omg I want that shirt too 

And now we know the instagram of Kimberlin/KKL they were attending the 37th Anniversary party.

Who is the Marilyn Monroe wannabe?

    • 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.
    • 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).
    • Yes in Sami's case lots of people took issue with her being with Dumbell Austin outside of the Carrie issue, cause she drugged him and raped him by pretending to be Carrie. Austin didn't consent & well Ejami fans have used that as a smokescreen against the backlash of Sami & EJ being paired. It's also not so much as being paired with someone period, but paired with his victim & his victim sister. That's a line that should never be crossed by Belle/EJ esp Belle cause Sami isn't the only person in her family that EJ has terrorized. For all points and purposes since she was aged to a teen, Belle has been a daddy's girl so on top of the betrayal when it comes to Sami it's also with John. He ran him down & murdered him after raping her sister. On top of all the other evil [!@#$%^&*] he has done. "Good dick", ONS with a monster one time is one thing we all have lapses of judgements, it's whole different thing to be a whole bird who throws her self respect out the window for a roll in the hay relationship with a monster & act like you have selective amnesia about his many crimes towards your family. While getting on your self righteous hoiler than thou horse about others. No there wouldn't be as much as outrage if he was paired with someone like his equally rapey Black family terrorizing sister, or Ava, Gabi or even Nicole. So it's not as much as about him being paired with someone period, it's more of who he should never be paired with his rape victim, her sister's or anyone in the family of the man he viciously ran down. I don't expect much of anything from EJ but I expect a lot more from Belle. As far as Kristen goes Brady has been called everything but the word of God rightfully so for being with his rapist, his brothers rapist, the psycho who terrorized his parents for decades, family, the woman he claimed to love after she violated her by using a mask of her face

      to pretend to be her so he would sleep with her. Drugging his sister ie,: Sami. If Kristen was paired with someone that wasn't her victim or victims like Alex, Xander, [!@#$%^&*] even Ben no one would really care for the most part. So I hope this gives you a little insight and I hope you know I wasn't trying to be rude.
    • Speaking of Emily, I really wish that Marie Masters could do a Locher Room. I haven’t seen anything about her in years!
