AMC: Bianca's attack. I happen to tune in for the episode because I was hoping it was a fake-out. It was disgusting on so many levels that I never watched AMC again. Heartbreaking because AMC was not only my first soap, but I was the only one in my family who watched it - so it was *mine*

Y&R: Adam sleeping with Rafe to throw him off the trail during the Ashley gaslighting mess.

B&B: @Maxim Don’t forget back in 2006 Ridge and Brooke had their own trashy “high on coffee syrup” rape (similar to Malcolm and Dru) but it was played for laughs and just served as an excuse for Brooke to sleep with Nick again.

GL: Gilly almost sleeping with her biological father discovering the truth right as she was seducing him.

ATWT: Julia’s rape of Jack, Marshall’s “no means yes” rape of Jessica, and well where do I continue?

Y&R: The Adam and Sharon “gothic romance” that occurred between 2009-12 was one of the most inappropriate pairings I have ever seen based on what he did to her.

Days: Same with the above with EJ and Sami. Gross. 

Not surprisingly my ATWT, Days, and Y&R choices were all written by the same writer

The less said about some of the outlandish bathroom stuff Reilly gave us and later Pratt gave us the better.

I’m currently on those episodes.. Not that far with the sleeping part (but I did watched that episode when it aired)… Holy sheeeet. That Victor got away with that is just ridiculous…

Even though Chelsea and Adam (especially Justin) were one of my top 5 couples form YR during the last 20 years the story was inappropriate. He stalked her for months as Gabe Bingham and made her fall for Gabe.. He was constantly bringing up Adam.. Adam here and Adam there and Adam blah. I can’t believe Chelsea was that dumb not be a little bit confused by it or to caught on to him sooner. And all we got was Adam talking to the portrait of Victor and her walking in. LOL

B&B I raced to this thread to say Ridge and Bridget. Low and behold it was the first answer! 

B&B Stephanie unknowingly giving a rapist the location of the keys to Brooke's house. 

B&B Brooke sleeping with Deacon, Nick, Thomas and Oliver.

Y&R Victor gaslighting Sharon with a double of her deceased daughter (Cassie/Mariah... his adoptive granddaughter. 

GH Luke rapes Laura then taunts her by playing the song that he raped her to AGAIN at the campus disco. 

GH Ric locking a pregnant Carly in a panic room then gets forgiven and becomes DA

OLTL: Todd Manning/Victor Jr: raping Marty, the dead baby lie, causing Star to fall down stairs, beating up Cole, "re-raping" Marty (Yet still being forgiven).

    • The timeline on Days of Our Lives is verging on absurd in the best way. Tate yelled that Johnny has been stringing him along for “months,” which is technically true—after all, they first discussed the adoption in March, and now it’s May. However, within the show's internal timeline, EJ was shot just two days ago, meaning Amy met with EJ, Paulina, Johnny, and Chanel at most four days ago. So when Tate starts swinging at people for backing out of parenthood, it really depends on which universe we’re inhabiting. That said, I appreciate how cleverly the EJ mystery is unfolding. They neatly closed the glaring loophole everyone spotted yesterday: the SIM card wouldn’t capture the shooting, because EJ pocketed it beforehand. I like the momentum in how suspects are being methodically eliminated. (Cough cough, like the little girl upstairs whose mother refuses to send her to therapy.) Meanwhile, setting aside the online component, I thought only men were being auctioned off. Now Cat was on the block too? And Chad somehow didn’t keep up with bidding on his phone? We understand the intent, but it would have been far cleaner for Cat to simply run into EJ while picking up a blouse she left behind at the mansion. On the other hand, I hope they don't pursue a drug dependency storyline for EJ. He’s only misused medication once, and even after previous shootings, he was never depicted as reliant on painkillers. His past crimes were never fueled by addiction, and tying sobriety into his character now feels misplaced. This isn't so much a criticism as a reflection on my experience watching the episode. As Marlena maintained a stoic front with her self-absorbed children—each eager to discuss only themselves—I found myself anticipating a quiet scene of her breaking down alone in her office. It wasn’t meant to be; I can’t fault the writers for not filming the scene I envisioned nine months after the fact. Yet, Marlena’s solitude stayed with me. She stands surrounded by family and friends, but as the pillar of strength they all lean on, she is left with no one to support her now that John is gone.

      I thought it was the doctor that freed her from the closet
    • The show must have edited/rearranged scenes, or else the spoilers were wrong.  This is what was spoiled for what aired this week: Monday, April 28 – Episode #044 Naomi struggles to gain the trust of her new client. Ashley and Derek adjust to their new living arrangement. Leslie launches her latest scheme against the Duprees. Tues., April 29 and Wed. April 30 BTG preempted due to CBS live coverage of UEFA Champions League soccer. Thursday, May 1 – Episode #045 The Duprees kick off Ted and Nicole's anniversary party. Eva tries one last time to keep her mother in check. Kat inches closer to unearthing the conspiracy that threatens to shatter the family's big night. Friday, May 2 – Episode #046 Ted and Nicole's anniversary party is a night the family won't soon forget. Ashley and Derek juggle the messy realities of moving in together. Bill braces for his part in Ted's deception to come to light. ---------- The changes: Monday April 28 Naomi and her client were not in the episode. Instead, Chelsea met with Allison from her threesome. Friday May 2 Thankfully no Ashley and Derek.

      Thanks for the heads up
    • That tidbit of Leslie giving Martin a brownie at Orphey Gene's and then telling him when he was little she gave him brownies was soooooooo good.   Fantastic show today 
    • Best episode of "BTG" since its premiere. I thought it was Andre.
