This show is officially IN telenovelas are hell territory.

I haven't laughed so much in my life. I will give that to Bradley - thank you for turning this into the biggest unintentional comedy on TV.

Now I have to tune in again to see this....all that would be missing is to pan WAYYY in on Li's face. "NO!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!   DIOS MIO!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (SCREAMMMMMMMMMM)".   Built shirtless doctor enters, "TE AMO, LI.  No MIRES A SHEILAAAAAAAAAA! NO MIRES!  NO MIRESSSSSSS!"   Cries, clutches Li to his chest and we have no idea who he is either.

Oh, how I hollered when Hope did the perfect soap faint. Good job, Annika. lol.

 

I may find this Sheila storyline ridiculous and repetitive, but I have been living for the funny moments. So Hope doing that faint was right up my alley. 

 

And Lord, how the writers are setting Steffy up for a big fall. Cuz her at home with Finn and the dinner. LOL!!!

Now THAT...is the reaction that I want more people to have!!!

 

OMG!!! I'm glad that I kept watching then. lol. Sheila knew she was dead wrong to lay there and taunt Li. And Li's reaction. CHEF'S KISS!!! I think most people know I want a Round 2 between Li and Sheila. I STILL want one like Round 1 where Li beat her tail. But I loved Li pouncing on her. I was sooooo mad Deacon ran in and stopped her. Cuz Li was in her right to beat Sheila's tail a second time. 

 

Meanwhile, I actually liked Steffy coming to the (very) slow realization that Sheila was alive. It was such a soapy ending to the week with that close-up on Steffy. I do hope that is the end of the mention of the word 'Sugar.'

 

Then I just realized that BROOKE doesn't know yet. So...never mind. le sigh.

 

And what is this storyline coming up with that young triangle? Ugh...no.

Monday.

I am catching up.

JMW gave a performance to LIVE for. She almost saved the bad material and really in that moment I was rooting for Steffy. Through the years JMW has improved and improved and now I can say she really is a true gem. I would love for some other writer to give her wings and make Steffy likeable and rootable. But yes - I loved her expressions and the way she was handling it with true RAW emotion - this is what an actor does.

Finn - Boy, oh, boy. What a complete waste of time... I get that some people get off on him and think his abs are hot and etc, but that little basic Ken Doll is like watching paint dry. Such uninteresting, lack of emotion, lack of expression "acting". And the scene had potential which some other actor could have played off from JMW's energy. She REALLY needs a better scene companion than this. When he stands there and makes the sour face, it's almost like Steffy is talking to a stage prop. It's almost like a monologue. Recast is BADLY needed in my opinion. He is just unbearable to watch - in the Academy I studied acting, this would not get even accepted  to... try. 

Overall I think JMW gave the strongest scene of the month so far. The other parts I find very underwhelming and going into the genre of absurd and comical, which is... not my cup of tea. I found Li and Sheila's scene... shamefully bad and really really cheap. These types of animation movie fights do no interest me.  

This is what I expect next.

Tuesday 

Brooke RULED today. She needed to b-tch slap that rapist! And finally someone in this effing show said - She was altered and YOU KNEW what you were doing. You were in your right mind! FINALLY. Brooke was giving me 1992-1993 era Brooke with that attitude and energy - I love her when she is not Ridge's cheerleader or the SFTV. 

And the rapist crying....- YEAH, CRY! That's the least you can do. 

And what I was saying weeks ago, Brooke said it - You didn't stop to ask her... WHY WAS SHE THERE...

I need to see THIS BROOKE back every day. 

THANK GOD it was finally said.

    • 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...
