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.

    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
