I tuned in today for the first time in a few weeks. Why did I do this to myself?

But, anyway...

So, Luna has the world's worst luck apparently. Not only will she never ever eat a "mint" again, but everybody used protection and it looks like she STILL got pregnant??? 

I know why they don't because of their viewership, but it feels so outdated that no one mentions that IF Luna is pregnant, she can have it terminated. She doesn't have to become a mother. This isn't 1958.

Wednesday

Ridge Forrester needs to GO. He is SOOOOOOOOOOO annoying. The way he talks to RJ and Brooke make my skin crawl.

Brooke... I love... these past few episodes, BUT her hair and outfit - NOT WORKING at all. Not KKL's best look. This dress is just not for her. Sorry. Looks cheap on her and not fresh, which is the look I think they were going for.

Luna and the pregnancy... As if this storyline couldn't get worse... Yikes. Bradley Bell is doing this in the most cliche way possible. Every sentimental, done to death, beat is being done over and over and over till ad nauseam. YIKES. And I'm going to repeat something I said months ago. RJ and Luna are too young of a couple to get this ordeal NOW, it doesn't make any sense for a guy like RJ to keep being with her after all this drama. No sense at all. And we weren't THAT invested in RJ and Luna to begin with to now get this great problem. These type of things should happen when the couple have had some minor problems before that... and have been together happily for a period of time. This happening so soon in their dating gaming will make any sane person go... NEXT. But in Bradley Bell's world you meet someone and you are engaged and pregnant in 10 episodes if he doesn't care and is too LAZY to write it all. 

That's the word of the whole storyline - lazy. Done to death cliches, stitched together without comprehension. Stitched together to make the whole thing seem DRAMATIC and CLICK-BAIT and mint-y. 

Steffy once again was my favorite character of the day, which is just shocking to me. I really couldn't stomach her lately. But these past episodes she has been a breath of fresh air and SANITY. 

BUT once again - we've already seen this, heard this dialogue between her and Sheila... how many times now? It is getting boring at this point. If Steffy can't make her useless husband STOP corresponding and meeting with his homicidal mother - she should leave him. So far I have been seeing Steffy being too harsh with Finn at times and even bully-like, but THIS time here... them expecting of her to FORGIVE and forget the person who tried to kill her - No, no, no. I am with Steffy. That doesn't mean I like her character or the way she speaks to people. But in this case - I am with her.

    • 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.

      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...
