@Maxim Yeah, the Taylor/Ridge/Brooke triangle has played out. However, with RB as Taylee, I'm hopeful that Brad will reunite Taylor/Ridge permanently. Contrast TK's Taylee scenes with Brooke's and it's obvious.

Time for a Brooke scandal (Liam) and then $B *rescues* her.

The show is really weak right now - all the Liam/Hope scenes are cringe. I feel bad for SC because he can't be enjoying this.

Hope/Carter feels like it was a last minute idea inserted into the show. Seriously, after working with Hope for almost a decade, now he notices her?

What in the world!!! As a spiritual person, I don't know whether to laugh or be offended. Is THIS what Brad had in mind bringing Taylor back? Just to embarrass her over and over again? What mess is this??? 

 

I did enjoy Carter and Hope circling each other with no one the wiser. And awwww at Liam trying to get Hope back...complete with flashbacks. And now that he got a hint that she might be interested in someone else...I wonder if he is going to try to find out who it is.

-- Carter ripping off his shirt and coming on to Hope could not have looked any more awkward. Whatever that was, it didn't work.

-- The Will and Liam conversations are already lame in the same way Liam's conversations with Wyatt were. They don't look real, they don't seem genuine.

Sadly... I think Will... will be gone in less than a year. Maybe before he is gone, Bradley will turn him into a serial killer or a rapist. Who knows... I really don't understand why bring a new character... if you have no idea what to do with him! They are giving him material that makes him look like he is a character... going out... and not... a new fresh face. Boring, boring, boring. And yes, not genuine. They repeat the same things over and over again. 

And for the Hope/Carter fiasco... I am also in complete agreement - it looked strange and cringe. Hope... at this point... is even more pathetic than Brooke ever was. At least Brooke had goals and that was to sleep with an entire gene pool first... and then when she was finished with that... to sleep with her daughters/sisters's men. Hope... is doing stupid random things. She has been crazy in love with Thomas, Finn... and now starting something with Carter... in less than a year. All of this is making her look disoriented, stupid and... pathetic.

And I want to add something... Steffy is once again standing before Ridge like a Doberman guard dog that is guarding her sh-t. She is once again repeating the boring things about My mother this... My father that... and looking at Brooke like she wants to push her down the stairs. I have to pinch myself that we are BACK in 2021-2022 and this is once again being microwaved back to life by Bradley. This stale... old... storyline.

Thursday/Friday reaffirmed that Carter is in a position of power. Hope has professed her gratitude to Carter multiple times and it's borderline creepy. Steffy and Brooke both noted that he went out of his way to advocate for HFTF.

At least, my proposed twist above would make this interesting. When Hope sleeps with Liam for old times sake, will Carter continuing being the Beta? Wouldn't it be great if LSV got the chance to show Carter's bad side after Myron, Quinn, Katie, etc. It's time he finally turned into an Alpha.

I admit that that was adorable what Liam did for Hope. A well-done presentation for her line. And it is almost nice to see him try again with the kiss. But do we really want a Liam/Hope/Carter triangle? I do like the build on Hope/Carter though with the near misses.

 

I hope this is the conclusion (at least for now) to that heart syndrome storyline. Silly and not in a good way. But...at least everyone seems to know or no one who would be upset for a secret being hid now know. 

 

And you can't go wrong with a shirtless Finn.

Line of the year:

Brooke: “For your information, I’ve had a broken heart many, many times and nobody ever called it a syndrome!”

If HT had been playing Taylor, you know the response would've been: 'Definitely not a syndrome, Brooke. It's called sex addiction!'

It's so funny how the main story has gone from Brooke/Ridge/Taylee (thank God) to Carter/Hope. And I didn't mind it at all. Moreso when Carter's shirt came off like a piece of paper being blown in a gale of wind.

 And it was good to see his apartment again. One thing I can say about B&B, I never feel like they are short on sets.

 

I liked the 'Will is working at Forrester' story was just a nice bonding moment between Will and Bill and not drama. Cuz if anyone would understand his reason for interning there (GIRLS) it would be the Stallion. lol. I am only sad at the clip for next(this) week because Will already has some sparks with some of the girl interns he has run into *cough*Amy*cough* 

 

I do love that Hope/Carter is happening under everyone's nose. More importantly, seeing it ON SCREEN. It makes it more organic. 

 

A decent week post-Wednesday.

      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.
