Well, I say this much...he might have been a lame hehe wingman, but I enjoyed the little misadventure of Liam and Will and the Forrester interns. The fact that they already know who Will is cuz he's cute has been a hoot. And I already see a vibe with him and Amy. Liking the actress and I can see the two of them together. And yes, Liam was so lame to do the baby pictures. Just such a parent. Resonated though. And now he's back to thinking on Hope.

 

And speaking of Hope...uh...I don't know what to think of THAT? I guess the idea of Carter and Hope is just odd because even the build-up has been odd to me. So it just doesn't feel organic. 

 

I'm always here for Sinn flashbacks. 

 

That said...seeing Sheila reminded me that nothing be going on that keeps my interest on this show. So worrying a bit. Perhaps I can get another round of Sheila vs Li.

Yesterday's episode was... how should I put it... bizarre. Why was everyone talking in this quiet, strange manner?...The generic background music didn't help... (God I miss the old soapy themes - they gave the show some much needed character). Why was Brooke acting like she was drugged or hypnotized while talking to Taylor? The whole scene was so static and lifeless... with both of them just sitting in front of one another and talking about Taylor healing her chakra on Ridge's... lap... in this slow... quiet way. Then Brooke and Ridge in their bedroom... once again - cringe and strange. 

This whole sleepy atmosphere was wrong. This was a moment for some dynamic back and forth. Imagine seeing your biggest rival sitting in your man's lap. Would you act like this? Who directed this scene? Strange. The show doesn't feel like Bold anymore. I don't know what they are going for, but it's not working for me.

You can't throw things like chakra cleansing and broken heart syndrome... and then act all demure in scenes like it's some kind of European intellectual drama. It doesn't work. 

KKL and RB both looked bored with the script they had to utter. I mean, how many times will Rebecca have to repeat this nonsense about broken heart syndrome. How many times? This is the new mints... BROKEN HEART SYNDROME... EVERY day... multiple times every episode. WE GOT IT! Stop saying the same thing like we are idiots. The only semi-cool reaction was when Brooke asked her - Are you kidding me... But it all went downhill from there. The pressure dropped and the scene got sleepy and boring.

B-O-R-I-N-G.

So, yes. I have no idea what I'm watching, I don't even recognize the character of Brooke, she is acting like Hope Logan circa 2010... and even Hope was not that weak. The OG Brooke would have been there, slapping Taylor off of Ridge's lap and throwing her into a heart attack. 

And also... I really can't believe Bradley is REPEATING this storyline once again. I mean... even Krista's return was more exciting... and Hunter's done this storyline of Ridge slipping back into Taylor... at least 10 times or even more. How many times before it's too much? KKL is probably rolling her eyes every time nobody is watching from the sh-t they are making her do. That's like dancing the same dance for 40 years. At one point... it really gets old. 

Who wants to watch this? Is there someone who enjoys this? I am really asking for myself. 

P.S I also think all of this will lead to some kind of sick twist very soon. Every storyline of 2024 has a twist, so I'm expecting this one soon.

      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.

      Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
