So I’m on last week, I’ve been zooming through to get caught up. Is Brady off the wagon now because of what Theresa did? Seems like an extreme reaction. 
 

The Devereauxs still trusting Kayla to handle anything medical for them is hilarious.

Body and Soul plus Connie running around town is way too much camp for one show. 
 

I’ve been enjoying Xander’s mom.

There’s something entertaining about Jack who himself has died and come back several times, now having to worry about his daughter who also has come back from the dead before. This show has made death so meaningless.

How does Leo not know who Hattie is?

Again, this feels like an episode making fun of us fans.  What if Phillip was born in 1995 and was a teen in 1999?  Lol.  Who would buy that?  Ugh....

The only "joke" I liked today was Leo reading Kim's book.  It obviously went too far, because of course, but it could have been a subtle nod to history.

I actually do like the idea of a lot of people in town working on the soap.  It can make for drama and connects people that aren't usually connected.

Honestly, the jokes are what make it so awful.  If they treated seriously it wouldn't be that bad.  Yes, it's ridiculous that half the town is going to be acting in this, but it really does bring characters together that don't usually interact at all.

I would prefer more people working at the paper, but Xander sold it back to Jack and I guess that's a wrap for it?  Lol.  Eric and Nicole are gone, Everett is dead, Xander gave it to Jack, and I am unclear if Leo and Stephanie still work there.  So that leaves Chad.  

It's weird how they built the Spectator up as the place people worked at and now have abandoned it for a soap.  I suspect this Body & Soul stuff won't last past Ron.

I appreciate this take because I agree that there is something intriguing about grouping a small cast into a singular workplace for interactions.  It provides some conflict for Johnny and Chanel that doesn't involve a baby.  And there is an opportunity to see characters share scenes that have rarely interacted in the past.  We have no idea what Titan and DI do, so this is a much more understandable setting, and it feels like a low-cost approach to establish new motives. 

But, it elevates the most obnoxious voices on social media.  RonC seems tortured by the responses to his writing, and it makes it feel as if he is chronically online like a teenager being bullied in high school.  There was pre-existing conjecture about his animosity toward fans, and these "jokes" do nothing to advance sympathy for his reaction.

I am not sad Bobby/Everett are gone, nor do I really care about the ending.  During the entire episode Jada/Stephanie were watching him die the show could have just wrapped it up.  Just finish the story.  It's so lazy to just kill him off without any conclusion.  That's more annoying to me than not knowing.

I really don't mind the premise.  Like you said, it's much easier to understand than what Dimera Enterprises does.  

I don't even mind a few jokes.  It's the entire story that feels like a mockery of the soap industry and the fans.  It's so strange Ron would even want to go there.  Does he hate his job?  Did he want to get fired?

I finally saw those episodes of Everett’s death last week. I couldn’t believe Jaida and Stephanie sat there being hysterical for an hour instead of ya know trying to save his life.

I like the twist of Xander’s mom hitting Sarah, but man is Sarah ever happy and healthy for more than 5 minutes before there’s another crisis.

      If I'm not mistaken, much of this took place while Claire Labine was writing LOL -- and believe me, it was a very compelling show!  Probably the best soap on the air during Labine's short tenure as head-writer.  I assume Labine left LOL to create Ryan's Hope in 1975, but much of the action your describe seems to be her work.  Not sure why -- maybe some dates are off.

      Felicia and Rachel were suddenly represented as friends when Mitch came back to Bay City in 1986 in order to try to add tension to the storyline of Mitch and Felicia getting together. I suppose we are lucky that Margaret DePriest didn't eliminate Felicia as she did Quinn and Maisie for being outside the "core families" of McKinnon/Love/Cory.   Felicia was more antagonistic when she was first introduced. She brought Carl to town not knowing he was Donna's ex. She was carrying on an affair with Cass while he was sneaking around with Cecile behind her back and was livid with him when she found out. She was resentful when Cass signed Julia to Winthrop Publishing. She was friendly with Lily though IIRC.

      Just coming to comment about Joss and I see there is some conversation. I want to know what's with the subtle "moments" between Joss and Emma. I've been noticing it, but maybe I'm just overthinking it.

      In regards to Sam and Amanda... both of them were immature and crappy people.  She was a spoiled daddy's girl while he had a chip on his shoulder.  Both were stubborn and pigheaded... and I'm thankful I've resisted wearing the 2025 lens of assuming women are empowering and men are toxic.... when quite frankly both men and women could stand to be a little less toxic (in real life, of course).. not on my soaps where toxicity should be the norm.

      I'm copying and pasting the entire post because, while I enjoyed the watch, I agree with every single one of your points (as I posted above I thought the dialogue tried for clever sophistication without sounding realistic throughout, in fact.)

      I've just been over Josslyn since her corn costume on Halloween, putting her into a "leading lady" kind of position, simply because she is Carly's daughter, all while backburning other children is annoying AF.

      Hilarious that Steffy just barges into Brooke's house to see Hope without knocking. Ridge bought it, so I guess she feels she's entitled to.

      Joss is nowhere near the top of my list to keep currently.  I just wouldn't kill her off and consider bringing her back sometime down the line.  I guess it depends on how well the show is able to develop the next generation of talent with Rocco, Danny, Georgie, etc.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      I've watched more episodes, but I wanted to make one short comment before I made my longer post. Someone on the show loves dressing men in ways where they have plunging necklines and show lots of chest hair. Not complaining but I think Chief Marceau (sp?) and Logan are the only two who have not shown their chest hair at this point. I have now watched episodes 6077 to 6090. I'm up to September 11, 1979. Nancy and Mike have returned from their vacation. Ann Flood is another wonderful presence. She's only had a few scenes, but I already like her. They're worrying about Draper and his lost job offer in New York. The truth is slowly coming out. I can't say that I'm invested all that much. I still don't care all that much about Draper, but he's no longer bellowing and whining so it's all good. He has had some nice scenes with April and there was an uncomfortable confrontation with Margo. Draper and Logan's scenes are where I like him the best. The two actors play well off each other. Also, Draper and Raven have an interesting thing in scenes. I wonder if they hook up at some point. They always give each other weird looks during scenes. Is this foreshadowing? Hmmm. The Raven of it all. MY word Sharon Gabet is amazing. How did she not win the Emmy? Was this going on during the Judith Light time? Gabet owns every scene. Raven and Eliot's scenes crack me up. Gabet and Lois Kibee are giving masterclass acting scenes in their moments together. I never wanted their confrontations to end. Kibbee's Geraldine has discovered Raven doing something she should not be doing and that confrontation was pitch perfect. The later scene with Logan was shocking. He does something that I've rarely seen on soaps. Such good storytelling and acting. I also liked how April and Draper were drawn into the madness.  Paige/Tobias/kidnapping/Steve: This is the one storyline that suffers because I came into the show late. I'm not connecting to it as much although I enjoy it. Steve and his low cut shirt amuse me. Calvin is such a cute and bright presence. I thought they were writing him off, but he's back  so apparently not. Marceau seems to be leaving but I hope not. The actor is wonderful. Deborah has come back in the episode I just started so Frances Fisher is here. I will say the actor playing Tobias is excellent. I think he was on another ABC show I watched but I'm not googling.  Nora/Owen/Eddie/Brian/Paige: After a week of non-stop Nora, the movie storyline has not started full force yet. It's more about Nora's drinking and Brian and Paige's feelings for each other. Nora is becoming more manipulative as she lies to all of them so they will make the movie. Owen revealed Brian's secret which I accidentally guessed from the first episode, but I actually don't think it's true. Eliot/Margo: Margo had a fantastic scene with April where April confronted her about the real relationship she has with Eliot. Mario admitted the truth. It's so refreshing when characters are intelligent and honest. It makes their mistakes even more heartbreaking. They're not idiots. Eliot is such a fabulous character. He's an absolute slime and yet he's one of the most compelling characters on the show. So nice to be hooked into a soap opera again.

      Joss can go, permanently; killed off, body bag and all, and never ever return.
