Yes! I mean Finn was in FC for the Hope meeting. RJ was presumably there 'working' - it would've been totally logical for Finn and Carter to go for a steam after that 'tense' meeting with RJ popping in.

As RJ whines about Luna 'not being who he thought she was', Carter cuts him off by saying: 'I feel ya. Yeah, Brad does these random switches. Like when I dated your former sister-in-law, she was a sweet hot model. Next thing you know, *she* suddenly became a completely different person.'

I like the lack of cringe and bad-camp these past few episodes. For a moment the show had gone into cartoon network territory and was definitely not my cup of tea. I am all team Taylor/Steffy this time. I want to see Brooke hit the ground metaphorically speaking. KKL shines when Brooke is in huge trouble. The past few years have been so boring for this once incredibly hot and dynamic character. She's there, but it's like she's not there.

And what can I say about Hope, I don't want to be a Debby downer or troll Annika, but this new version of Hope is not her thing. Sorry. I am not even sure if it's her fault or just the cringe scripts, but I am not buying slutty stupid Hope at all. 

I am finding Hope in desperate need of a break from the show. Bradley needs to write her off for a while till he knows where she is headed. For months and months now... there are hints and IFs about things, desires and wants, but nothing is happening. And it's not the slow build up that we would love - it's confused mish-mash of changing her personality and trying new things every week to seem SHOCKING and new. Doesn't work with a character like Hope. She worked better when Annika first came in the show. Her first 2 years were better in terms of characterization and storylines. Hope used to be smarter than this. 2024 she seems to not have a brain, which is disappointing. Bradley just wants to have a 30 year old blond Brooke, but KKL is soon going to be approaching her 70s, so he is confused what to do. Copy/pasting Brooke's style and acting into Hope is... a flop. A desperate bleached flop.

I am also VERY tired of the same old conversation Brooke and Hope have every day about Finn. At this point, the only thing that will shock me is either Brooke or Taylor sleeps with him accidentally in some bizarre mint-mistaken identity Bradley way scenario. But even this is going to end being a bore-fest.

I called the Finn/RJ idea weeks ago, nice that people are picking up on it. Never gonna happen though, sadly. One thing to add - RJ is a huge disappointment lately. The actor is not giving his all, if he even has more. He wasn't that bad in the beginning or maybe I just thought he was new and giving him a chance. Lately I've been cringing at his facial expressions. Him and Finn are really... not even at premium porn level acting at this point. I've seen better acting on the TV in the after-dark hours of the night. Maybe that's why I thought about giving them a hot bromance storyline, LOL. I would also add that the hair department needs to do something about RJ's hair. Yes, the muscles are bulging, so are other things, but that hair needs to be fixed. 

Overalls, I am happy I am not seeing Nozawa power anymore on my screen or watching cartoonish fight scenes with no substance. 

BUT, Bradley needs to step up his game and get interested in Bold again. He is soooo bored at this point and it shows. If he is trying and that is his max - then he's really at a point he better start thinking about vacations and not writing anymore. There are plenty of desperate for a shot writers that can write  101929101 times better than him.

      Good Morning, this is still funny to me but I totally enjoyed what makes up "DemetriKane" so unnecessary, who cares?!!! Glad you like the Emma Peel derivative story.

      Yes, they did.  I still have them.  I think there were three.  AMC and GH as well.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

      DAYS: Current&Former actors live video tribute for Drake Hogestyn

      By Wendy · Posted

      Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Alan · Posted

      When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist.
