BUT - I adooooored KKL's look today. Red is her color and I LOVED HER hair. Loved, loved, loved. I love the waves too, but straight fits KKL so well. My girl SHINED today.

I look at that pic and -  I don't know what I would have picked for a shell with that red jacket.  Odd, but reds can go with reds - so I would actually want to see a mauve/burgundy.  Then probably throw that out and go with cream or white.  

What I do notice now - all over the place.  It's everywhere and I did not want it to ever return.  Gold jewelry. I think it looks great on Tanned Italians.  Not anyone else.  I just love silver and white gold and platinum.

I agree about the burgundy! If I have to be really honest, I am not loving the style of the show in the past few years. 2024 is an improvement from... for example 2022... when Brooke was wearing oversized sweatshirts while crying about Ridge for months at a time. That year lacked so much in terms of fashion. The hair department is a big mess. KKL knows at this point what looks good on her, but she had some horror movie moments through the years. LIKE, horrible, horrible. Now, she just KNOWS and it works. I can't say the same for the youngER leading ladies. I am hating both Steffy and Hope's looks recently and their haircuts are not how I envision these characters. They are ageing them as hell. Especially Steffy. It's been a mess recently. A MESS. Also her outfits most of the time don't work. From time to time, she looks like a complete Goddess thought and that's what they should try to achieve every time. I also don't like how they are styling Poppy and Luna. Chaos. Don't get me started on the bushy beards on some men and their unfinished haircuts with hairy necks - not my cup of tea for a soap opera about glamorous fashion people. But I can't complain when at least they are wearing some fashions lately and we are out of the sweatshirts and jogging pants.

THE GOOD...I liked everything surrounding the Brooke's Bedroom relaunch. The scenery is definitely nice. And the message I continue to feel is a great one. And KKL is rocking it. Of course. And Steffy is giving great snark.

 

THE BAD...I was intrigued by the idea of the Mystery Woman. Perhaps I would still be irked if I had been unspoiled, but definitely irked seeing the scene. Rebecca Budig???? Yeeeah NO.

 

They did IMHO an excellent job in reintroducing Taylor in the form of Krista Allen. It was so old school in fact how she was reintroduced. From reintroducing her slowly by characters we like to her being made over for a while to look like HT's Taylor. And then...she got moments and then storylines. So I was sad to see her vanish. And now Taylor is back like THIS???

I'm not saying that she looks good with them, just that what I see in your examples are... extensions. She may have worn wigs during the years when I haven't watched, but when I Have, it's only been extensions. I don't remember seeing her with an actual wig. Maybe I am forgetting something. 

And that once again confirms my opinion that the hair department has been a mess in the show. 

Can you show show me a picture or a clip of one of those thousands of times? Maybe I've been blind or something... Thousands? Wow... Where have I been all those years? I don't remember even 1. Can I see just one and I'll admit I'm wrong. What Boldsoaps showed me are definitely not wigs. I've watched those episodes in FHD. I would have known. It's badly done hair extensions. Which is not a wig.

    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • 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 with back polka dots on black background) 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.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      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...
