Anybody wanna guess what the worst story was?

Because he turned this breathtakingly beautiful (probably straight) successful villain into a gay, cringey, campy, clowny spineless coward.

Today's episode 6/10

I sort of like these episodes when people just catch up and talk, but I still wish that they'd edit it so that we could see a full conversation rather than two lines of dialogue at a time.

I am immune to Brady's charm.  The guy went from pining over Theresa for two minutes, to Fiona, then Ava, and we're supposed to think he's just a romantic softie.  He's a 53-year-old homeless due with a poorly dyed beard.  Where's the sophistication of an Anna/Tony romance?

However, I'm glad that Holly's not stupid.  She's read the room, she's got Sophia's number, and she's smart about sex.

The highlight for me was the rather frank discussion about abortion.  Soaps usually just sweep the option under the rug.  But, here we got an actual social issue that is messing with these kids that we like.  Good for them.  Although, I know it is the natural inclination of most teens to keep this information from their fathers.  You'd think, after recent events, that Tate might confide in Brady.

Three consecutive episodes of Leo

This is what I mean when I say that all the excuses we ever got from Ron or whoever were bullshit. And that’s all I’m gonna say about his pointless scenes with Hattie today. 

Rafe was more of a dick today than usual too. I can’t believe they had such a good opportunity to cause conflict for him and Jada and they’re totally squandering it, with this and the spoiler that we heard. 

JJ and Gabi’s date was nice though. I like that they’re not immediately rushing back into a relationship with the two of them. But I think that they should have EJ still be involved with Gabi. Just dropping their storyline because Stefan was the wrong choice too. 

And I’m guessing that Kristen isn’t the one who sent the text messages to Ava.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
    • Thanks. I'm glad we have some fan memories of these years as this is such a typically snide take on the genre. It's also poorly written and reminds me a great deal of the tedious "snark" recaps that became popular in the '90s. The end in particular. The 1979/80 stuff I have seen is much more polished than a number of soaps at the time. It was very easy to watch and not too bogged down in past story.  Margo is played by Ann Williams, who was on what seemed like every soap. I think she said Margo was her favorite role.  These episodes aren't consecutive, but if you ever have time, they are worth a watch. They are bits and pieces from January and April of 1979 - April in and out of prison, her past calling to her via her psychic powers (and the suicide of Miles' wife Denise, who had murder framing in mind). April 1979 has the end of Winter Austen (such a fantastic soap name).  I don't want to drop a ton of links but you can find playlists on Youtube.
    • And the rating 'wars' continue...hehe.
    • Well, it was fun while it lasted for Rebecca Herbst. Le sigh.
