You mean Finn and RJ?

Damn, you'd be peeling me off the ceiling!

Exactly. Can we please go back to those good old days?

[edgeofnik]

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.'

Finn needed to give his brother in law some comfort

RJ doesn't even look distraught.

Joshua Hoffman can't act!

[ranger1rg]

He doesn't look distraught and can't act. But doesn't that fit with the rest of this crapfest and its entire history?

Let's keep our focus where it belongs, and that's on Joshua Hoffman's body.

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.

And once again I'm here for the KKL/RB chemistry. I can't... help but... love them in a scene together.

I thought hopes(Annika) best year was last year 2023. I loved her character development, new found confidence and the Thope pairing. Brad squashed all that growth to make her a pick me for Finn. 2024 has been her WORST year.

Tanner's got a new Hallmark Movie coming out on November 28th "Joyful Mrs Miracle" must have filmed it in July when the show was dark for the month

Taylor to Ridge: "You were the love of my life. You always will be."

This psychiatrist should be locked up for being delusional and for lacking any self-esteem. In what universe is that normal?

[Soapsuds]

They are reminiscing with no flashbacks since both characters have been recast. Makes their scenes meaningless.
