Please spare me any comments about Tanner Novlan's acting when I have to watch the mess that Kimberlin Brown did on screen today.

Not only did we get the "Sheila is squinting again" routine, but now she's stammering and stuttering. Just awful.

I watched. So. In Bradley's world, today May 1st 2024, Sheila is redeemed and now - an angel on Earth. 

Please register in order to view this content

 For now on I will call her Saint Sheila.

Saint Sheila will be painted as this great victim that sacrificed herself and tried to HELP that bad bad girl Steffy - Steffy will be pressed by everyone to forgive her. We know that this will lead to Hinn and maybe Steam again... and I'm sure in just a couple of months Saint Sheila will start smiling in the corner with her theme music playing. It's all so obvious. 

 They will paint Steffy as the bad guy now for sure. And as much as I find Steffy Marone insufferable - I am not about to pick Sheila's side.

JMW looked as beautiful as EVER today - REALLY WHAT A stunning woman. Too bad they write her to be a downgraded copy of her grandma. I liked slutty Steffy better. 

I see the boards, reddit and facebook are full of people cheering Sheila's return and this storyline - I don't know if the population of the planet has gone stupidER... I don't know... but this APPRECIATION I am seeing of this absurd storyline is mind-boggling to me.

Thank God for this forum and the people in it who prove to me... I am not the only one gagging.

And speaking of gagging - Sheila woke up fast, since they were POURING that NASTY blue SPORTS drink yet again in her mouth. Maybe they should give her some food they find on the floor too. AAAND THE line when Deacon wanted GOD to help him free-up Sheila - please don't lose God's time, sweety.

This is the dumbest attempt at redemption ever.  Everything bad was “Sugar” everything good was Sheila. I love Steffy so much, I love everybody so much.  Get rid d of this show and bring on The Gates.  I actually wanted to see this nonsense and it was as bad as I’ve heard.  
 

Like I’ve said for years, you are forever stuck with Sheila.  Yawnnnnnn

I would just... give Bradley a hint to... maybe... consider resting and just enjoying his later years... than to struggle like this. There are so many TALENTED workless writers that could transform Bold into a masterpiece. Bold is the easiest show to fix, LA, fashion, beautiful people - who can go wrong with this... It's not like this... deep drama or compelling suspense. It's light. 

And I have asked for cancellation many times... I know. But recently I have just been blown away by the actors in the show - Annika, KKL, JMW... they are amazing. And they will shine so much with a great writer.

I can get with this.  FIX the show.  Don't cancel it.

It still irks me when we are down to 4 shows in this genre, and people wish a show, any show, cancelation.  This isn't directed at anyone in particular so don't come at me.  Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion, I get it.

Bold has better cast talent that some shows in prime time. I say this without any exaggeration. That's what sad to me and that makes me so mad. That wasted opportunity. Imagine Bill Bell writing for JMW or Annika... It would be so good. I got goosebumps just thinking about it.

The scenes with Liam, Steffi, and Ivy are perfect examples of this show being stuck in the 80s.

All that snark and eye-rolling that Steffi ditched out? The outright insults? No one would sit there and put up with it, no one would avoid answering back.

We got the cliche soap scene from decades past, showing us that soaps do not have a clue about writing for today's audiences. 

 

And oh, we also got more Sheila squinting.

    • 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.
    • 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.
