In the most disgusting way possible... I found myself missing my daily toes episode. It's soooo bad it's starting to get addictive. I am ashamed to say this.

You can write my name on the wall of shame.

I saw this and wanted to take the time to respond. I personally did not see the scenes because the episode itself was kicked off my possessed tv system before I saw it. Thankfully, B&B is very good...okay overdoes...at their flashbacks. 

 

I did not like that the episode itself appeared to turn into a witch hunt. Or that it triggered people. As someone who has been triggered by things in media I watch...I get that. However, this situation got no trigger...at least for me. And I've seen SA been done much worse to trigger. 

 

That said...my humble opinion is the same as the above. Moreso because I am finally watching 4/15 and 4/16 and the writers PLAY...THE...BEAT. Which love it or hate it so far they are turning on everything you just said. Which to me and them being the writers is also what they felt happened. And they are at least good enough writers to have the counterpoint to it. 

 

I was in awe, they figured out that the Zenda/Luna might be a sensitive subject to some. That they might have written that sloppily and needed to deal with it in some way. For that, I will give them some respect.

 

To me, it was more a misunderstanding (that could have been written better by the writers or not written at all but we all know how I felt about the RJ/Luna/Zende triangle from the beginning) than I would feel is a rape...a word I feel has also been thrown around too loosely.  But now that the discussion has made it on screeen, we can move forward with opinions and not pointed words. 

 

Speaking of...4/15...4/16

 

It was good to finally see Poppy show up. She's vanished so much since the 'mints' appeared. Is she even still with Bill?

 

Yeah, this ten toes storyline is starting to drag. Is it Sheila? Is it Sugar? Is Deacon just losing his mind? lol.

 

No...no more Hope/Liam. 

 

 

My kind of toes.

 

But wait...is this from...??? Let me hush.

I swear...B&B stay using Y&R characters better (and they look better) than they do on Y&R...LOL!!!

 

I've been liking this stuff with RJ vs Zende. I guess I can say the actor might look silly, but at least he is trying. And he did seem angry to me. Thought there's been a few moments when ironically he echoed RM's Ridge. For better or for worse. I don't like that it appears that RJ is now going to turn this around on Luna though. But least...movement.

 

And going back to my first comment...HELLO, LAUREN!!! I was just about to get annoyed that this was a fly-in cameo regardless of next week promos. But I liked how they did Lauren's appearance. They set it up with her checking in on Eric...which I forgot about his being deathly ill. So of course she would come and see. And she got to figure out what was going on. Then she saw Deacon and called him out. And then I realized...duh...Lauren had some history with Sugar...whether the writers acknowledge it or not heehee...so her being the cliffhanger was cool. The fact LAUREN was the cliffhanger. All Deacon has been doing has been hoping to figure out who Sugar is...and now he has someone. Movement.

 

Well done.

Revealing Sugar’s actual name, Janet Webber, was a nice touch, as the name is a compound of both of Robin Mattson’s most famous roles. That B&B is finally acknowledging the doppelgänger/bomb shelter storyline makes me wonder if they’ll ever try to explain Pheila (Probably not).

    • 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 or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) 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.

    • 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.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
