Today's episode was incredibly boring. I am not buying the Thomas-Paris thing at all. Once again Bradley is fooling us with cheap telenovela twists. We saw that coming from miles away. You can't surprise us, b-tch. 

And someone needs to tell the editor to stop with these over the top zooming to face shots. It makes the whole vibe infantile. 

P.S I am not loving ANY of the new characters. I'm sorry. None of them work. The actors are not bad, but Bradley is struggling to write for all of them. Poppy makes me so confused. I don't know what the direction of this character is. Or if there is a direction.

I'm still not convinced that Bill is the daddy. I think Li set up that DNA test because she doesn't want the real truth to come out.

I feel like Poppy had potential as a character but the writing is ALL OVER THE PLACE. And, now with the homeless guy making googly eyes at her...sigh.

Also, Luna (I do like the actress), is WAAAAY too perfect. She needs some sort of edge to her. Perfect = boring.

LOL at Paris answering to Douglas' mommy call. So random. First, we haven't seen Paris since when...November. And, now we're supposed to believe that she somehow got engaged to Thomas in the past few months??? What would have been much more interesting would be if Thomas had returned to Paris engaged to Nicole Avant, Zende's ex-wife for which we never got an explanation for on why they divorced. At least that would tie more characters into the story. Paris, due to the writing, has suffered from "Luna-ism"...so perfect she's boring as all hell.

Hope to Thomas (while she shakes uncontrollably with sadness and fear):

"I really thought you returned to restart our lives together, Thomas."

Are you frickin kidding me, Hope? You mean the guy you haven't mentioned in 3 months??? While you've been asking for and getting massages from a married doctor???

The show is a mess. Nothing they are throwing at the audience is sticking.

The Thomas/Paris insta engagement will turn out the same.

Douglas has barely appeared and he's already gotten on my nerves. Bradley sure knows how to ruin even the likeable characters.

Thank you @Jeff!

Hope and Finn looks so awkward next to each-other. They have an actual negative chemistry. They don't look at ALL like a couple or even people who are attracted to each-other. I am also seeing this on screen. Bradley should give it up, before it's too late. Hope and Finn have the same type of negative chemistry that new Ridge and Brooke have. It just feels OFF. I can't describe it. We are human beings and we detect these things as fast as we detect a bad smell. It's in our nature. It's OFF.

And this?  Is this the future? If so, I am... so sad for this show. The ratings will continue to fall. Awkward triangles don't work like they did in 2010, Bradley. Give it up. 

P.S Liam is so badly photoshopped next to Hope in this photo, it's embarrassing.

 

 

 

And sorry, this looks AI generated. And so WRONG. A girl with her boyfriend and rapist. I am gagging. @Soapsuds

Plus... why are they continuing to shoot Brooke with her boring one-beat sisters in bathing suits? Shoot her with Hollis on the beach. Brooke needs to do something NEW.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
