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.

    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!
