This show is so elementary-school. Actually, there are shows made for children that are more complex. I’m sure it helps international audiences understand what’s going on when everything is so blunt and schematic.

Carter standing there like a lump as Paris discussed her wedding dreams just shows how little the show regards either character. Neither is written as a full person.

If there are language/cultural barriers, they are more easily overcome when the content is simpler. That’s not a secret. Not that complex series don’t travel at all, but it’s one reason why Hollywood has shifted much of its strategy as markets globalized. That’s not an insult to international audiences. They tend to prefer character-driven content that’s locally produced generally, as Americans do.

-- I really don't agree with your point about international audiences, and I highly doubt Brad Bell is doing any of this for a reason.

-- Carter was like a robot in that scene, and it was hard to watch. Paris wasn't any better, and seeing a real relationship between her and Thomas is difficult.

-- Still, Hope is HILARIOUSLY bad. She's immature and entitled beyond belief. The girl needs shock therapy for being such an idiot.

Are Katie and Carter officially over? I must have missed a break up scene lol or the show just moved on.

The homeless guy dies and yet none of the rest of the week went back to what happened. So much for “BIG simmering murder mystery”

Thomas/Paris is basically a retread of his pairing with Zoe. I agree Hope needs some sort of therapy for all of this LOL.

Some thoughts on the last episode!

- Thomas needs to trim the beard, he is starting to look like one of Tom the homeless guy's pals.

- Didn't Brooke just become CEO? Why is she again downgraded to being Hope's sounding board. Where is the fanfare and drama that the CEO feud was promising?

- Donna looked like a 50 dollar prostitute with this ill-fitting bathing suit, sorry. Wardrobe should know better. And her sticking out her boobs in front of Ridge didn't help the impression.

- Am I the ONLY one that is getting tired of watching Hope cry all the time? Give Annika some bone to act with, stop giving her these pathetic scenes, JESUS!

- Was that a slight dig at Ronn Moss - Brooke to Ridge - "I remember these skimpy bathing suits you used to wear."

LOL!

At least this show always bring on the laughs and the cringe.

It should be re-named - The Cringe And The Tone-Deaf

-- Matt Atkinson is such a good-looking guy, but the grooming on him is bad. Really bad.

-- Brooke is permitted to seem her old powerful self for a couple scenes -- then it's back to sounding like the mother who has no idea how to parent.

Her talk with Hope was filled with "If you had the chance, would you still be with Thomas? Do you still want him? Do you love him?" Why the hell isn't she telling her daughter to move on instead of asking her irrelevant questions?

-- Hope's hysterics will never not be funny to me. She LOVED LOVED LOVED Thomas but didn't want to be engaged to him. Huh? Who thinks this is logical? Has the idiot ever heard of a long engagement?

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Anita vs. Leslie, bring it!
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
