Problem with the James/Taylor affair was it ignored for years and years but pesky fan bases and soap mags constantly brought it up. The biggest issue I had was James was never brought into the equation, and of course the following year in 2007 Thudley stepped into big time  with the Who Shot Grant revisit backfiring on him big so badly he had to write write some quickie convoluted ending to it.

 

Faux good girl turned bad girl is nothing new and Luna-tic is adequate at best.

@YRfan23 Liam’s recent appearances remind me of where Nick was in 2009 or where  Wyatt was at back in 2017 with threats that are completely unsubstantiated. In fact Liam hasn’t done much this year at all and his “big” romance with Ivy went DOA. Even though we all hate Liam appearance I’m beginning to think Liam may go the way or Nick and Wyatt soon enough.

I guess that's the one time Thudley cracked under pressure. 
 

I'm certainly hoping that happens with Liam....nothing against Scott Clifton, but at this point, what more can be done? I'd be happy with Liam and Hope reuniting quickly and both leaving town with Beth.

Honestly I wish Liam would stay AND officially become a villain. Not Sheila-villain but an openly, unapologetically dishonest, disingenuous and manipulative character.

2024 is the year where Liam is off most of the time... So that's one huge positive. Huge, huge.

wrong topic.

'B!tchy' Aunt Li [BAL] only had extreme disdain for Poppy, which seemed centered around Luna's paternity. BAL spitting so much hate led viewers to suspect it was Jack or Finn.

Now, it seems it's been common knowledge that Tom was a serious candidate for that title. Really? Even though she's awful, I doubt BAL would hate on her sister that much because she hooked up with a washed-up singer. And Lunacy knew about Tom her whole life, she's always been a gold-digger, but RJ wasn't rich enough, etc.

Then there was that weird scene with BAL + $B in her office about the paternity test.

Is it safe to say, this is a complete rewrite?

I'm not complaining because the murders gave B&B a much-needed jolt with stories actually intertwining like Steffy *leaving* after the Hope kiss. For the past two months, it hasn't been one story that dominates every episode with every character repeating exactly the same thing about that one story!

It is.

Which obviously makes one curious of what the original story was.

Anyone who suspected it was Finn was never paying true attention, they just made up stuff

I love crazy Luna. I love my girl Steffy but that's what she gets for running away from her problems lol

 

Hey @Jeff
 

 

[soapfan770]

The SINN montage used today was nice I like that psychic connection kicking in again  and Finn realizing something is off with Luna.

Also was there a slight time jump lol? It felt like only a day has passed yet everyone on today was saying Steffy had been gone now for “days” like the week passed in real time lol. I can’t recall the last time a daytime soap actually did a 1 episode = 1 day concept since the mid-00’s with the  P&G soaps doing that.

Luna has been dull as dishwater since she debuted. It took a crazy Brad Bell stunt like this to make her interesting. I wish they had thought of this before instead of making all the young female characters come in as saints. They should've done a Paris/RJ/Luna triangle from the jump with Luna as the vixen trying to steal RJ from Paris. 

It's a shame she's finally interesting and they'll likely have to write her off.

And finally...it's said aloud.

 

Luna IS the killer. Well...I guess the plus to that is that the actress looks like she's going to give camp. lol. On the other hand, I guess it means that Brad Bell got tired of trying to make her and RJ happen. So does that mean RJ is leaving...or is he heading for a triangle with Will now that he's been aged up?

 

That cage in the house....lol...definitely camp.

 

So Bill and Justin DID make up off-screen? What a waste.

I finally saw the explanation episode.

 

And...that was actually plausible. Here I am thinking it might be complex because it couldn't be because Luna did not like being poor...and basically it WAS. lol. And everything lines up. Tom and when he died. Poor Hollis, which is why I figured it was Luna with that out of nowhere scene he had with Luna before Tom died. The Bill/Luna kiss. And I was happy to see Li vindicated...she's too much of a professional for me to believe she messed with the test. 

 

Uh...why is Liam here? lol. He really has not a thing to do, but pick on Finn for what he has that Liam wants. Boy, BYE.
