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.

    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with. 
    • How did this come to be?

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
