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.

    • 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 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).
    • 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.
